Dog Sitting East Rutherford

“Lexie was so great with my Chucker. I could tell she's really great with cats and I really appreciated her detailed updates when she visited. Would definitely rebook!”

“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

About: -USE CODE DENISL51179, https://www.rover.com/sit/denisl51179 TO SAVE $20 IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME USING ROVER!!!!- -Free pickup and drop off within 5 miles!!!!- -I also have my boyfriend Robert help with the feeding and walking of the dogs. If I have to leave or he has to leave the house then the other one is always home supervising the dogs.- I have grown up with dogs since I was a child. I would walk, feed, care for and play with them. If you give them love and attention, they are the happiest and most content. I now have my own 2 family members:Pepper and Piper. Pepper is a 13 year old German Shepherd and Piper is a 16 month old Pit Bull. I love dogs and am familiar with all aspects, be it pills giving, special diets etc. I currently work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can watch your pets weekdays, weekends, overnight, basically anytime. If your pet needs special attention or a special diet I am more than capable to handle all their needs. I have a house and a fenced in backyard. I have a sliding door with a doggy friendly screen which I leave open in the summer and will allow them to go in and out as they choose. There is always fresh water from them to drink and lots of treats, if they are allowed them.

“I am pleased to recommend Diana for dependable and compassionate pet care! She was referred to me by a neighbor, and I'm so grateful to have connected with her. I'm always nervous about leaving my two cats when I travel, but Diana sent detailed reports and fun photos daily that eased my mind. She also did all the quirky things I'd listed as not required but "nice only if you have time." I will definitely use her/Andrew again!”

“Aniya is responsible, dependable and very respectful of my space! This is the second time I’ve had her take care of my baby and I will definitely use Aniya’s services again!”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and giving pets lots of attention. I currently have a cat and dog of my own and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I take my college courses online, so I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for pet care daily from 9 AM–7 PM and can easily work visits and walks around my classes. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’m attentive, responsible, and will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.

About: I'm originally from Bolivia, and animals have given my life a deep sense of purpose. At 15, I rescued my first dog. Sadly, I couldn’t save him — but that moment changed my life. I promised myself I would help as many animals as I could. Since then, I’ve rescued and rehomed over 70 stray animals, two now live in Virginia, and five are still with my family in Bolivia. Through this journey, I’ve cared for animals in critical physical and emotional conditions — including senior dogs needing special medical care, mothers with puppies, and dogs with disabilities. This experience has given me deep knowledge of comprehensive animal care and a strong sense of empathy and patience. I also studied tourism and launched a pet-friendly travel business in Bolivia, planning and leading unforgettable 2–3 day trips with up to 25 dogs. I have strong experience managing groups of dogs in large, open spaces such as hiking trails, green parks, and even on buses during transport. These adventures were designed to create joyful, safe, and enriching experiences for both pets and people. Although I currently can’t have pets at home due to housing restrictions, animals remain at the center of my heart. Working with them allows me to stay connected to what brings me the most happiness. I offer care rooted in real experience, deep compassion, and a lifelong love for these incredible beings. I’m currently studying as I prepare to begin a career in education, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to accommodate last-minute calls or changes. Going for walks is already part of my daily routine — I enjoy walking long distances, so combining that habit with dog walking feels like a perfect match. I also have the freedom to study from anywhere, which means I can easily spend time in homes or outdoor spaces while caring for pets, giving them the attention and companionship they need throughout the day. At the moment, I’m unable to care for pets in my home due to housing restrictions. However, I’m fully available to care for pets in my clients’ homes or during walks and drop-in visits. I always provide gentle, respectful, and attentive care, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

“Jade was so kind and patient with our cat Nutmeg, our feisty girl! Jade sent detailed updates, included pictures and videos; and most importantly, really developed a bond with our cat. Jade is responsive, professional in her communication, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her for your pet!”

About: I’ve had my dog for 9 years and have grown a loving passion for dogs over the time! I am currently seeking volunteer work at local shelters so that I can have experience with other dogs and understanding their personality, temperment, and personal needs. This way, I am more equipped to service your loving doggo! I’m currently available on Sundays and Mondays after 6 am and before 4 pm, with hopes of extending my available days soon. Check back for updates! I don’t yet offer in-home visits, however I do have a fenced-in backyard for your doggo to enjoy whenever I decide to offer boarding services! I am also more than willing to provide regular photo and text updates, so that you may rest assure your dog is in great hands.

“Pete did an amazing job with all 3 of my dogs, one of them is special needs as well and he was able to walk and feed them and follow their care instructions with great communication updates. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone in need of a trusted walker/sitter and look forward to relying on him more and more in the future.”

About: Use my promo code for $20 off! CAMMI16428, https://www.rover.com/sit/cammi16428 **All services on Rover are negotiable. I am more than happy to quote a custom rate based on 15-20min (< 2 miles) or 45min (< 3 miles) as opposed to 30 or 60, which is what Rover defaults to. **There are two main providers (my mom and I) working on this account. I am the lead sitter, and my mom works with me directly. I am responsible for walks, visits, and overnights (in your home) while she runs the daycare and boarding services offered in our home. **Arrival times for bookings: As we all know, Bergen County has its' fair share of traffic and bad weather making getting from one place to another difficult at times. Then, there's apartment complexes and having to wait for an extended period of time to receive a key, for example. With that being said, we kindly ask for flexibility (within reason) in terms of arrival times with the exception being puppies, pets who require medication, and the elderly. All pets are important as are pet owners. We want to make everyone happy with regards to when we arrive. I, Cammie, complete all new client bookings and bookings that require medication or have animals present with special needs of some sort. You are dealing directly with me when communicating via the platform. To ensure your pet is safe and well taken care of, you should aim to use a full-time professional pet sitter that is trained and dedicated. Offered Services: *Kennel-free boarding (our place) *Overnight Stay (your home, 2 options) -Please ask how we can customize your animal's in-home care while you're away. *Drop-in Visits (non-vacation customers) -Can be daily or reoccurring bookings when the visit is not solely focused on walking the animal. For example, if you have a puppy and want me to stop by for 30min, 3x a week to play with and take the puppy out, then this would be considered a drop-in since puppies don't typically go on full blown 30min walks. *Dog Walks -Standard dog walks are 30 minutes and we start the timer as soon as we unlock your door. 1-hr long walks are limited availability and scheduled in the early mornings or late evenings, weekdays only. *Doggy Daycare -Available to clients only (those that have utilized other services, such as: dog walks or visits) *Please know that most services are negotiable for several pets within the same household (for example, if you have 6 cats). **About Me: I've always had animals in my life and over the years, thought I'd be a veterinarian. That never happened, of course, because I couldn't bare the cons of working with animals in that capacity. I began watching pets of friends and family in my free time and wholeheartedly enjoyed it. In January of 2022, my dad passed away unexpectedly from COVID-19 which left me torn to pieces. And somehow, after half of a year, I decided that I was going to focus on the aspects of my life that bring me the most joy. I had to. Before COVID-19, I signed up to Rover but was only acquiring strange/fake inquiries. I don't know why, but I decided to try again after my loss. This time, things took off very unexpectedly. Call it divine intervention or happenstance, but I know what I'm meant to do now and it involves what I've always loved-- animals. I go to great lengths to plan and optimize my schedule so that I can give the highest level of service possible to you and your pets. I love what I do, and take this very seriously. When I go to your home, I will respect any and all rules laid out for me. Just let me know whatever you need, and I will get it done!

“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10. I spent my summers on my grandparents farm caring for all animals. I have my own fur babies. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, and playtime to make sure pets get consistent attention throughout the day. I’m organized and flexible, so I’m able to give them the time, care, and companionship they need without feeling rushed. I care for pets as if they’re my own. In my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and bedtime to keep things stress-free. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and lots of love so your fur baby feels secure and happy while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Leandro, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, where animals were always part of the family. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued from the streets, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with so many different personalities taught me that every animal has their own way of communicating, trusting, and showing affection. Some are immediately friendly, others need patience and a little space before they feel comfortable. I’ve always loved getting to know those differences. I have 8 years of pet care experience, and what matters most to me is making sure your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal as an individual, not just another booking. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, affectionate, or a little stubborn, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m a writer and work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! I love having animals around while I write, whether they’re curled up next to me, keeping me company, or reminding me it’s time for a walk or a little playtime. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I can easily adapt my day to your pet’s routine, making sure they get the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they’re used to. Having grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, many of them rescued, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and way of feeling comfortable. I always take the time to get to know each pet rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. Some want affection right away, while others need a little patience and space, and that’s perfectly fine! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I make sure to follow their usual routines, keep their environment clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while we’re together.

“Ashlee was an amazing fit for our Banji and our baby took to her very quickly ! The photo updates were amazing, and it was such a joy working with her. We will be booking her again !!”

“Vivian was truly amazing. Great with the animals l, provided detailed updates and let us know when she was there and left. Definitely will go to her again!”

John W.

“Kathleen was amazing! Helped us out last minute in a pinch for two days in a row. She was responsible and responsive. Cheese was happy to see her! Would love to book her again!”

About: I have two pets of my own, a cat and a dog. I know the needs to take care of both of them and would find it easier to handle yours. Worked at a pet hotel for a couple weeks and dealt with a variety of dogs (even cats) and know that each pet can be different and I'm ready to accustomed to your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and safe! I currently work at a nightshift so I would prefer to work during the evening. Depending on my schedule I would be able to work nightshifts on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. My dog is very playful and would enjoy having a bit of fun with yours! My cat is shy to newcomers so it might not interact with your pet.
