I highly recommend Katrina. She took very good care care of our two cats, was very professional throughout the process, and sent updates so we knew how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely book her again!

About: I work as a behavioral therapist so I am very familiar with how to handle people and animals. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from work it’s patience, I take the time it takes. I work with my clients for a few hours a day and am not in any classes currently, so I have plenary of time to walk, sit, and care for pups and kittys. I have two loving kitties that curl up to anyone who meets them, and I also have a car so I can totally drop by and give your pup/kitty all the individual attention they need.

About: I am a proud owner of a beautiful pup at home that makes me smile everyday. Having her has taught me how to interact, love and care for dogs. This is an experience I can share with other dogs. I grew up I surrounded by many dogs at home and at my family's farm in my home country, so since a young age I have been interacted with them and has allowed me to understand how important they become to our lives. I speak Spanish as well Im currently working full time as a dog walker. Any other services like boarding plese text me to see if I can help you out! During our walk I can assure you that my time and attention would be directed to your pup, so it can enjoy our time together as much as I will.

About: Hello dog lovers! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Courtney and I am excited about potentially working with you. For starters, I have always have the opportunity to be surrounded by four-legged friends in my life since I was a young kid. I believe growing up with a dog is 100% attributed to my passion and ability to work with many types of dogs. With personal experience owning dogs and working for a professional dog-walking company in the past, I am committed to providing love and attention to YOUR dog. I believe dogs are a part of the family, not just a pet! I will take care and play with your dog and treat your home as if they were my own. Additionally, I am punctual, hard-working, and honest. I hope to work with you soon!

About: Ever since I was little I've had a deep love and connection to dogs. I would walk around and dogs, really any animal, would just come to me, leaving me known to my family and friends as a mini doctor Dolittle. Aside from this, I have had two of my own dogs, an English Bull Dog and most recently a Pit Bull named Buddy. I took the lead in training Buddy after my family and I rescued him from an abusive previous owner who would enter him in dog fights. Even after enduring this for two years, he was able to learn and grow from the unfortunate experience. Since then, we shared seven years together until in September 2021 he passed on. Being able to care for Buddy has made my love for dogs grow even stronger and so has my experience in caring for others. I have also babysat a few relatives' pets and neighbors' dogs. Each and everyone was a positive and exciting experience. I am currently a part-time student! I have breaks throughout the day between classes which will leave plenty of time to have playtime with your pup! After school and on weekends time will be dedicated to spending time caring for your furry friend. I have a fenced backyard for your pup to run around in and the surrounding area is extremely pet-friendly for us to go on long walks together!

About: We share our home with a sweet 3-year-old Old English Sheepdog, who is friendly, playful, and great with other dogs. She enjoys the company of all the pups that become family while they’re here. We look forward to welcoming yours, too. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine since I primarily work from home, with occasional site visits . We take daily walks and get plenty pets and playtime! While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are always supervised and taken out on leashed walks. I recommend bringing your dog’s toys, bed and/or crate to help them feel secure, comfortable, and at home in a familiar environment.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and held part-time jobs & volunteer positions fostering and helping animals find homes. I work from home full-time and my partner is a registered nurse, so we have very flexible schedules. I also do have my own amazing, handicapped senior dog, so will only accept dogs that are friendly and we’ll trained. I would love the chance to spend time with your pets & make them feel safe while you're at work or away! I know how hard it can be to find good dog sitters, and I want to be that person for someone else! I work from home full-time so am available day or night to help take care of your pets whenever you need. Usually available on weekends too. I have a one bedroom apartment in a high-rise luxury building that is pet-friendly. There are dog parks nearby and nice areas to walk, so I will make sure your pet gets exercise. I also have dog treats and some toys if your dog needs anything.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from different sizes and breeds since I was 17. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs, and as a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with a sitter. I’m attentive, empathetic, and detail-oriented, making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether it’s energetic walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their routine. I work full-time but am available after work for walks, drop-ins, play time, or feeding, with flexible care to fit your pet’s needs Friday through Sunday. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I treat every pet like family, providing safe, loving care in the comfort of your home. I’m hyper vigilant of my surroundings, making sure all doors and potential escape routes are secured, while following your instructions closely to keep your furry friend happy, calm, and secure.

About: My partner and I have been dog sitting for five years. Prior to that, we both grew up with family dogs and are very familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of dogs and breeds. We are incredibly enthusiastic, loving, and kind towards all animals. A stay with us if fun for your pet and for us! We love going on walks, and we live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex/neighborhood. We hope you’ll have your furry friend come stay with us! I am dog-sitting full time and my wife, Kayla, works remotely from home most days. Together we give your dogs the utmost care and attention. Attentiveness is the most important thing for us when with pets. In our home, we make sure that we can see the dog playing at all times. We put items away that are not dog-friendly, and we clear out space for playing and downtime. On walks, we are always attentive to the dog and how they behave and interact with other people, dogs and other animals in the neighborhood. A stay with us is always fun for the dog, but we like to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. We also value communication. You putting your pet in our care while you are away, and we understand the trust that it takes to leave a member of your family with us. We give as many updates as you’d like via messenger and numerous photos or videos throughout the day. We are always reachable and willing to let you know how your dog’s stay is going. I’m currently working remotely. I tutor part-time from home, but I’m almost always home and I make pet sitting a priority. I used to be a teaching assistant, so I am very reliable and used to being responsible for others’ loved ones. I live in a very safe apartment complex. The buildings look like town homes, it is away from the main roads, and the complex Is pet friendly with lots of grass areas for your little guy or girl to do their business. It’s a wonderful welcoming community. I have my own entrance to my apartment and all the dogs in the community are wonderful.

We opted for drop-in visits for our dog and Gabby did an amazing job. She understood the instructions well and was super responsible in handling him and getting in and out of our home. My dog had a great time and we’d definitely hire Gabby again! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in East Hanover on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 25,221 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Hanover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a East Hanover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 East Hanover 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in East Hanover with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Hanover. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
