“Danielle was amazing. She made my cat feel really comfortable and let him take his own time to come to meet her. She had good communication about any issues. Overall she took great care of him and would book 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.”
“Victoria was a wonderful cat sitter for our cats - she was attentive, responsible and went above and beyond! Our cats are very much attached to us, but they were in great spirits upon our return and didn’t seem to miss us at all 😂”
“Nicole is the best! She is our daily dog walker, and stepped in this week to take care of our cats and bunny while we were on vacation visiting family in Wisconsin. She was attentive, communicative, and extremely loving. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Tatiana did a fabulous job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation (internationally) for 10 days. I would strongly recommend hiring Tatiana for any of your pet sitting needs. I know I certainly will be again in the future! Thank you again Tatiana!”
“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!”
“Andrew takes great care of our 2 cats. He always replies quickly, was very thoughtful during our meet and when taking care of our cats. We have been away with peace of mind thanks to him”
“Selina did a fantastic job with taking our girl for a walk! She was able to respond quickly and be flexible to our needs, and was communicative throughout the process. We will definitely use her again!”
“I have a 130 lb female Great Dane who isn’t the easiest to handle, but Bryndon was absolutely amazing with her. Highly recommend to anyone — especially if you have a big pup who needs a little extra attention!”
“Diana and Andrew helped us at last minute notice care for winter when we couldn’t be home at normal hours. Great communication throughout and was very friendly to winter :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.
“Liz was great watching my cats! She sent me lots of pictures and spent plenty of time with them to make me feel comfortable while I was away! She even got my shy cat out of her shell in just two visits which made me so happy to see while I couldn’t be there with them. Great communication from her and overall just such a great help while I was gone.”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have always had a deep love for animals. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing consistent care. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Lawn
Stefanie was great! We went on vacation for four days and she handled our dog with love, care and discipline. We found everything neat and organized at home. She listened to our directions and communicated very well. I appreciate the photos and reports. Our lovely dog was so lucky. We highly recommend Stefanie!
Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!
Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.

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 Fair Lawn 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 Fair Lawn 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 Fair Lawn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
