“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.”
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
About: We genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a husband-and-wife team, you’ll have two dedicated animal lovers caring for your pet, giving you added peace of mind and flexibility. We’ve been dog owners for over 15 years and have raised two dogs from puppies through their senior years. That experience has taught us patience, consistency, and how to care for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so we’ll always treat your dog like one of our own. Whether we’re stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, we’ll follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home, giving us the flexibility to schedule walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. With our two children in elementary school, we’re already active in the community and have a routine that allows us to provide dependable care before work, during lunch breaks, after school, evenings, and on many weekends. As a husband-and-wife team, one of us is often available, allowing us to be flexible and reliable for your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, a walk to burn off energy, or a little extra companionship while you’re away, we’re happy to help and will always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities. During every drop-in visit or walk, we’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications (if needed) to favorite walking routes and playtime preferences. We know that keeping pets on their normal routine helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. We’ll treat your home with the same respect we’d expect for our own by ensuring doors and gates are securely locked, keeping your home tidy, and making sure your pet is safe before we leave. We’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. We understand that every dog is unique, so we’ll take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and comfort level to provide patient, loving, and dependable care every visit.
“Jenn was great. She met with me before hand to go over everything and was incredibly friendly. She kept me updated on my two cats and sent photos every single time. Love her !”
About: I’m back on Rover. I was taking a break due to personal reason. Dogs are like children for me. Pet's needs come first than anything else in my life. Dogs live in their families' hearts. For dogs, their family is their world. Dogs never want to be separated from their families even for a day or hours. When their family is away, dogs need more love, more attention, more petting to give them comfort. I never ignore pets. Their company makes me feel loved. Your dog will enjoy more than you when you go on vacation. I would be happy to serve your dog - food cooked by you with no extra charge. Your dog will get GMO free organic treats. You can also provide your dog's favorite treats. No crates - only if owner wants and brings. Your dog will never be alone, complete day and night care. Clean filtered water always next to them day and night. I change their drinking water multiple times. I work part time from hone So I am always available for my dog guest. I order my groceries online when I am watching my dog guest. Your dog will never be left alone in the house. I use gates inside the house if needed for their safety. I walk one dog at a time.
About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.

“I found that Chloe communicates well, follows instructions, has a good demeanor with my dog and seems sincerely interested in providing him with the best possible care.”
“Tatiana took great care of our dogs when we were out for an extended period. She took them for a walk and spent time giving them love. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter”
About: I have 2 sweet boys named Ozo and Coconut. One has an allergy to chicken so I understand the concern and needs our babies may need a bit more in depth because of my own experience. I’ve also taken care of pets from friends and family each with their own particular routine so I can adjust quick to situations. Flexibility + Care I like to make sure my pets are taken care of and feel comfortable before i start my day. I like to go on walks and feel like having a furry pet can make it better for both of us. They get their cardio and I do too :) I work part time on certain days so it gives me time to stop in during the day or stay overnight. I have a car which makes it easier to travel to a clients home to walk or check up on the pets I follow schedules for feeding time/medications they may need.

About: Hi Im CeeCee (30). Leaving your baby, is already anxiety inducing, and frustrating as it is. And finding a trusted sitter just adds more to the mental load. With that being said, I make it my business to provide the most reassurance to You and your baby that there will be nothing but love and cuddles while you’re away. I have worked with animals since 2015 getting my start at Camp Bow Wow in Elmwood park and have worked at many prestigious hospitals in multiple states since. I love animals whether it’s cats/dogs or birds and reptiles. They are all so amazing to me. Grooming and distributing medication can be done at your request. I dont mind large dogs at all. Puppies are also welcome. I love to exercise, so your pup and I shall be doing some running around outside. Photography is my side hobby so please be prepared to be flooded with lots of pictures. All pups will go on 3-4 walks a day. More walk can be requested. Am walks: 6-7 am Afternoon walks: 12pm-1pm Pm walks:6pm-7pm Late late walks: 11pm-12am I treat all fur babies how I’d want my own to be treated. In case of emergency I live very close to multiple animal hospitals.
“Amazing. Amanda went above and beyond taking care of our grumpy old lady and rambunctious kitten! She followed all of my ridiculous instructions and sent lots of photos and video. I can tell that she loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. Great communication too. We will def be requesting to book again! Thank you so much!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.
About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play. I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.
“Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is often a stressful for an owner but knowing Craig is keeping a watchful on them for drop in visits aleviated a half stress. Craig was punctual and provided consistent communication. Craig is very kind and understanding of my senior dog’s needs. His punctuality ensured there were no potty accidents. Despite terrible rain storms during the visits, I returned to find my home clean and my dogs content which is a testament to Craig’s respect for me home as well. I highly recommend Craig for drop in visits.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dumont
We hired Libby for two weeks of drop-in visits with our 4 year old cat, and we were SO happy with how she took care of our him! We really appreciated the extra time she took for a pre-booking meet and greet to meet us and our pet, her daily updates complete with cute photos, and the thoroughness of care she provided. Libby is a great communicator, incredibly detailed, treated our cat like her own, and went above and beyond in her care - even bringing in a package from outside during one of our visits. Our relatively shy boy was crawling in her lap by the end of the two weeks. We will definitely be booking Libby in the future!
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.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dumont is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 27,263 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dumont. 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
