“Charlene is a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter. She was punctual for our meet-and-greet, took the time to get to know our Yorkie, Kody, and made us feel comfortable. She communicated clearly throughout the visit, and everything went smoothly. It was clear that Kody was in wonderful hands and well cared for. Charlene will definitely be my go-to sitter in the future. I highly recommend herself !”
“Sarah was great at getting to know and engaging with my sociable kitty, who was alone for the first time. Sarah's updates, good questions, and reliability gave me peace of mind so I could enjoy my getaway!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have fostered multiple throughout the years. I’ve also raised my current dog since she was 5 weeks old. I can guarantee pets, love and exercise! I work remotely from home so I can drop in whenever or I can watch your dog here ! I do have two friendly senior dogs and 1 cat but I can keep them all separate if needed! I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat to keep your fur babies company! My girls are master explorers so you can come join us on our nature walks! We love to go exploring!
“Chelsea and her kids were wonderful with our puppy, Mainie! She is very communicative with changes which I appreciated. The photos of our pup were so wonderful to see! Our dog seemed to love her and her kids which is great!”
About: I love cats and dogs since I was a child. We had cats and dogs at our family in China since I was little. I was their best friends. Now, living by myself, I have a sweet cat (Maria) who is a domestic short hair. She has brought me so much joy. I am normally available during evenings and weekends for drop-in visits and dog walking. I may be available during other times, depending on my work schedule. I clean a cat's bowls every morning, feed the cat with purified water and dry/wet food, clean litter box every night, respect his/her space and emotions, also set aside enough time to accompany and play with him/her.
About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several neighbors in various cities and can provide references from some awesome families. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.
About: I LOVE animals. I believe that caring for them is one of my purposes in life. I have been caring for foster/rescue animals over the last 5 years. I have my own cats and dogs and I have also also been fostering animals through rescues such as Eleventh Hour Rescue and Jersey Pit Rescue. I have worked with all kinds of temperaments and breeds, such as pibble & bully breeds, huskies, terriers, chihuahuas, newborn and young puppies, newborn and young kittens, adult and elderly aged cats, as well as both rescue cats and dogs with specific medical needs. I am currently open to working part-time as I teach during the school year. During the summer I can work flexibly, and during the school year I can help on evenings and weekends. I can additionally help with pet sitting or walking. I can also do house visits in general. I have a fence for my own pups and rescue animals. I can help with crating animals and keeping them safe in their homes. I am flexible and excited to help your family!
“Words can’t describe how grateful that we’ve found Christina for our baby Twyla. It was our first full vacation leaving her, and we didn’t worry once because we knew she was in the best care. The first meet and greet we knew it was the perfect match. I wish I can leave a million stars. Thank you Christina from the bottom of our hearts. We are so appreciative and blessed to have found you. Twyla loves you and she says thank you for taking such good care of me. Hugs! Ashley, Bill, and Twyla”
“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”
“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”
“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”
About: I’m 25 years old and live with my parents and sister in a home where someone is almost always around throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a Shih Tzu and a German Shepherd, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Having dogs has taught me how to care for different personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I’d love to give your dog a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! Pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures throughout their stay!
About: I am absolutely a great pet caregiver and love to make visiting pets feel at home right away! I play with them, enjoy taking them for walks at a park, weather permitting, and will make them feel loved and happy. I have had cats, dogs and horses as my own pets throughout my life and I am an active animal advocate. I usually sit for 1 or 2 dogs at a time so they will get the very best attention. I will take your dog for several walks each day. Your dog will have a great time with me and be well taken care of. I work from home, part time, so they are rarely left without a human around. Photos/videos will be texted or emailed to you daily. Please no dogs over 20 lbs. I currently work from home, part time, so I can easily keep your pup happy and cared for. We will go for several walks throughout the day. I enjoy entertaining your pup with play time so they enjoy their time here. Also I have a large and interesting fenced yard for outdoor play.
About: I am the person who finds the animal at the party and sits with them all night. I have a lot of experience with all animals from having my own to staying with others for a week. I can tell the signs of an upset animal and the last thing I would do is upset them more. I understand that animals are our babies and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am open to all sizes of any animal.. the bigger the better! I currently have 3 dogs at home which range from 17 lbs - 100 lbs and not to brag but I can walk all 3 of them at the same time! Lol. I just want you to be able to go where you need to and not have to worry if your furry friend is safe because I got you!! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time where I can come hang out with your babies! I am a college student currently working as an LPN. I have time before class/work, I can come on my lunch, after class/work, and weekends are free. I am pretty open, so please just ask and I would be happy to fit your furry friend into my schedule! I will of course follow the rules set for me. I am open to going for a long walk, playing in the yard, snuggling, and honestly anything your baby needs. I am also very open to taking your pup somewhere if they need. For example, if you can’t get off work I am happy to bring your pet to the vet or do drop off/pick up at daycare. This would totally be up to you though!!

Had a great experience with Mark ! Mark in for a last-minute assignment with my large breed German Shepherd, and took excellent care of her without hesitation. Confident that she was receiving the care she needed and she was comfortable with Mark. Definitely recommend.
Charlene was amazing with Clara. She was patient when Clara was shy and anxious around her and worked her way into getting her attention. Clara is difficult when it comes to eating, but Charlene managed to get her to eat on the second try. So happy with how she takes care of my dog baby and would definitely hire her again!
We have been using Nicole for some time now & I already left a review before, but wanted to come back and reiterate how great she is after using her services for a while. Our pups love her and we always feel so comfortable allowing her to care for them. She is communicative and provides great updates, even just for quick drop-ins. We’re grateful to have found Nicole!!
Jonathan took care of my 10 cats for a few days while we were on a trip. He did a great job and was able to administer injections to my diabetic cat which was wonderful. He kept me thoroughly updated on my cats which gave me peace of mind while I was away from them. I would definitely book him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Boonton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 25,588 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boonton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boonton. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
