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 20 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.

“Peyton was amazing! We were looking for some last minute doggie care, and Peyton was very communicative, friendly, professional, and kind right from the start. Throughout her visits, she was always on time and gave detailed updates with photos. We knew our dogs were in great hands! Even when surprises were thrown her way, Peyton handled every situation with care and grace. We would happily have Peyton back to care for our beloved animals!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets, and animals have always been a big part of my life! My family and I are huge animal lovers, and we genuinely enjoy welcoming dogs into our home and spending time with them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing outside, or just giving them lots of love and attention, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll always treat yours like one of my own! I’m a teacher so I work 7:30-3:30; however, someone is usually home to take care of your pet. My schedule after work is flexible and I’m able to spend the afternoon walking, boarding, or dog sitting at your home. I have a fenced in yard that allows dogs freedom while remaining in a safe space. I also have a small dog who’s friendly and two cats who mind their business. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat their home with care and their pets like family.

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.

About: Heyo all! My names Kayla and I’ve been a veterinary assistant for the past six years. I’m currently in nursing school looking to make a few extra dollars on the side (for coffee of course). And would love to spend time with your pets :) I’m currently not working a set schedule at a veterinary office, due to prioritizing school, but I am available as needed for quick check-ins throughout the week! I have three fur babies that I have at home that I love dearly, they’re all up to date on vaccines and do well with other dogs as well.

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.

About: With over three decades of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and versatility to ensuring the well-being of animals. My journey began with a deep love for creatures of all kinds, evolving into a lifelong commitment to their care, training, and happiness. From nurturing playful puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, I’ve mastered the art of meeting animals’ needs at every stage of life. My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs. This diverse background equips me to adapt to any pet’s personality, needs, or challenges. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing environments where animals thrive, whether it’s through customized training plans, meticulous health monitoring, or simply showering them with love. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to lifelong learning about animal behavior and care. With 30 years of hands-on experience, I offer not just expertise but a genuine passion for enhancing the lives of pets and their owners, making me a trusted partner in their care. As a former elementary art educator now a stay-at-home mom, I seamlessly blend my pet care experience into my daily routine, ensuring our animals thrive alongside family life. My flexibility and availability allows for a harmonious, pet-friendly environment with ease. Dedicated to care, love and enrichment, I ensure your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort in my home. My securely fenced yard includes a designated pet relief area, kept clean for hygiene. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs offer companionship, with interactions carefully monitored to suit your pet’s temperament. If crating is needed for rest or anxiety, I am happy to use your dog’s crate. My expertise spans puppies, senior dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and fish, allowing me to adapt to any pet’s unique requirements with confidence and care. I foster trust through transparent, personalized care, consulting with you to understand your pet’s routines, feeding, and preferences. My pet-friendly home is a safe, enriching environment, free from hazards, with spaces for rest, play, and feeding. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m present to provide constant supervision, ensuring your pet feels loved and secure. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is thriving in my care.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! With 13 years of pet care experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog mom with experience caring for German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, I’m comfortable with large, energetic breeds, but I absolutely love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, feeding, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ I am available for morning and evening walks, feeding visits, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will ensure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. In my own home, I care for my Belgian Malinois, who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience with energetic dogs. I make sure she gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities in our backyard. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine closely, provide a safe and loving environment, and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I understand that every pet is unique and will tailor my care to their individual needs.

I have two huge parks and a fenced dog park to bring your fur baby to! The apartment is very spacious and dog friendly so you don't have to worry about your dog feeling stressed and claustrophobic.

Jenn was amazing. Our cat is very nervous and scared. Jenn managed to make Phoebe feel comfortable with her by the end of the sit and they had a lovely bonding moment. I would highly recommend Jenn if you want a sitter who truly wants to make your pet happy along with being fed while you’re away.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dumont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dumont is $28 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 27,275 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 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 Dumont. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
