About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I work limited part-time hours at a nearby animal shelter, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.
About: Hi! I strive to provide a local Bergen County pet care service dedicated to treating every pet like family. I provide dependable, loving care for dogs and cats including daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and small-dog boarding in a calm home environment. Pet parents choose me because I’m: • Reliable and punctual • Gentle and patient with shy or senior pets • Experienced with medications and special routines • Big on communication (photos + updates every visit!) Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care while you’re away, you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine and my primary focus. I structure my schedule around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, which allows me to be flexible and dependable for my clients. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings throughout the week, as well as weekends and holidays when needed. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and never feel rushed between visits. My goal is to provide reliable, on-time care that fits each pet’s normal routine. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for pets. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I keep doors secured, use leashes and harnesses properly, and always double-check gates and locks. I also send regular photo and message updates so owners feel connected and reassured. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both pets and homes, which is why many families trust me for ongoing care.
“Alina was fantastic. I'm so happy I found her. She stepped in to take care of 2 cats 2 times a day for over 2 weeks on pretty short notice. Communication wasn't easy since I'm overseas in a different time zone but it worked. I loved getting her pics and notes everyday, seeing how well she cared for Tara and Kora. She obviously loves cats and I was thrilled to see how comfortable and happy they were with her. She went above and beyond for me and them. I highly recommend Alina and won't hesitate to book her again.”

About: I have been using Rover for years. I love animals especially dogs. I always lead with care and kindness for all animals. I will make sure your pup is safe, taken care of and gets the best walk. I am full time student, who is usually free during evening times or afternoons. Perfect for the night walks or around lunch time. I am always willing to figure out a way to fit my schedule with the owners to ensure their pet gets the care they need. For my pup, he is very energetic,so we always take a walk around or play fetch. He is a happy dog,and I can ensure during my walks your dog will come out happier then ever.
“Dana is amazing! Super reliable and always is awesome at communication! We used Dana for a week to drop in on our English bulldog 2x a day while we were away and she did an awesome job! Will definitely use her again!! Thank you Dana!”
About: I know and understand how precious dog's are to families.

I am available for house sitting, dog walking, pet sitting, doggy daycare (weekends and holidays'). I ask for you to provide the food they eat, treats and some toys. I will provide photos of your dog through out the time they stay with me. Your dog will be in the best care that I can provide, and I follow your rules, for example eating time or specific games you'd want me to engage him/her in. I enjoy taking your pup on nice, long walks around my neighborhood and playing fetch in my spacious, fenced-in backyard. I love caring for puppies, helping reinforce basic training, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. 🐾❤️ 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Fur Baby! 🐾 When your pup stays with me, they’re not just being boarded, they’re becoming part of the family! ❤️ I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, explore, and enjoy a good game of catch.

About: I raised my puppy from when she was only a couple months old. I stayed up with her when she needed someone and took her out every few hours, and she never had an accident in the Home. I work from home so I am pretty flexible with what your dog might need. I would be taking your dog outside every few hours as needed. We have a backyard that does not have a fence so your dog would be on a leash whenever we go outside to take breaks or play.
“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”

About: I have had my beagle for over 9 years now and have trained him, as well as walk and feed him! He means the world to me, I have also babysat while watching two golden labs! I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, etc! I am currently volunteering at a senior home so my schedule is mostly open for night walks or home check ins more towards the evenings/night! My availability is more flexible on the weekends, so please feel free to reach out and ask! When I know I am going to be out for a good amount of time, my beagle does go in a crate so I am capable of doing that if preferred!

About: Howdy! My Name is Pierre! I am about to be a graduate student at the University of Hartford! I came home from the summer to find out that my dog for the last 6 years had moved out of my childhood home and in with my brother (HEARTBREAKING 💔) I joined Rover so I could care for my lovely four-legged friends, without the commitment of having to keep one before having to travel back to college again! My family for all 23 years of my life has had at least a dog and a cat (RIP Tiger). And we currently shelter baby kittens until they are old enough to get adopted! I have a passion for Animals and miss having my buddies around so I believe Rover would be a perfect fit! Currently I am not employed and only leave my house for 3 hours a day to workout out! (I am a college basketball player!) My girlfriend Min, however, is a stay at home type so your companion will NEVER be without supervision! I have sheltered kittens for years so I know the responsibility of being super vigilant over pets cause things can (and will) get crazy sometimes! I have a completely fenced in back yard! I also will take videos and FaceTime calls at the owners request so they can always check in on their companion I work from home as a video editor so I am always available to take on new pets and care for them whenever the need arises! I have a fenced yard, as well as a nice spacious living room pets can play and live in, and a restless dog is a destructive one 😂 so we make sure to take them on walks and exercise to get them nice and tired.
About: I treat every pet like my own, with love and patience. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, and I’m great at making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available on sun,mon,tue (whole day) and wed before 2pm. My schedule is flexible on those dates. I do accept same day schedule. :) I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get the exercise, playtime, and rest they need. Whether in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, caring environment so they feel at ease.
“Philsung went above and beyond to take care of Petey. During this snowstorm, he walked the rest of the way to my apartment when his car got stuck. When you’re not able to be there with your dog, it’s a terrible feeling, I was so worried Philsung would not be able to make it there but he did. That’s reliability and dedication and a true love for animals. He is an excellent sitter.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for being patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy who needs structure or a senior dog who needs gentle support, I adapt my care to match exactly what your pet needs. I primarily work from home so I’ll have lots of time with your pup! I follow feeding and walking schedules as instructed. Mainly walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I have a large fenced in yard and a neighborhood that is great for walks. The home is also spacious to give your pup lots of room to eat, sleep, and play!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. First cats and then dogs. I grew up with 3 small dogs from when I was 6 until they passed away. At the end they were old ladies- one was diabetic and blind and the other had an array of health issues. Now my partner and I have two puppies, both around 30 lbs expected to be around 50. Animals make life better. I am currently working part time and have lots of time at home with the pups! i love animals more than anything, so they are always the priority in my days. We go to the dog park, go on lots of walks and even go swimming on the weekends! I have a very flexible schedule. I am well versed in crate and pad training. We have been training our puppies on how to walk on a leash as well as different tricks (stay being the most important).

“I would highly recommend Alessandra! She made herself available on short notice and provided reassuring updates about our dog during the check ins. He is very anxious and was so comfortable with Alessandra and so much less stressed when we returned home since she was there to take great care of him!”

About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.

Rhinesca took great care of Tyler while we were away. She took him for walks, made sure he had fresh water and food, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated knowing Tyler was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.

Karen was absolutely wonderful! She came highly recommended by my neighbor, and she definitely delivered! We had a last-minute emergency and couldn’t find anyone to come let our pup out, but Karen was able to drop in and help us out. She was reliable, responsive, and such a huge help when we needed it most. We’re so grateful and would definitely recommend her!

Alex took wonderful care of my senior dog Georgie. He came to walk him, gave him a treat, and made sure his water bowl was full before leaving. He follows instructions carefully, is responsible and always punctual. I felt completely at ease knowing Georgie was in good hands. I will absolutely continue using Alex in the future, including longer stays. Highly recommend.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Suzanne gave our dog while we were away. Our dog can be difficult to manage, but Suzanne handled her with such patience and skill. She truly went above and beyond!! She sent constant photos and thoughtful updates that gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, caring, and experienced sitter. Suzanne is a gem!!

Natalie is an amazing sitter - she has an intuitive understanding of animals, a kind & loving approach, and took great care of my dog. Her adherence to instructions and attention to detail were excellent, and the communication was great throughout the process. Will definitely book again.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dumont choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
