About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!
About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!
About: I loved playing with my neighbors' dogs since I was a kid, and I got my first dog when I was a graduate student. I also rescued two small little dogs without a full moon and brought them up. I'm currently a postdoc at Mount Sinai. But my dogs are not around, I really miss the happy time surrounded by dogs, if you would like to let me play with your dog, that would be my honor. I'm available after 2pm on Friday and weekends. Please tell me in detail what good or bad habits your pet has and what I need to be aware of. It'll make it easier for me to take care of them, and it'll give us a pleasant memory❤️. My pet's diet is timed and rationed according to weight. Make sure he have fresh water to drink every day. Take him out for a walk every afternoon to make sure he gets enough exercise. At home, I play puzzle games with him so that he won't feel lonely.

About: Hi, I’m Ksenia! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a big Newfoundland dog along with cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Today, our home is still full of animals. We have a cockapoo, a bunny, and two guinea pigs, so caring for pets is truly part of my everyday routine. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. I take this responsibility seriously and always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my weekday routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the week, whether your pet needs a potty break, feeding, playtime, or some extra company while you’re away. I enjoy calm, relaxed care and focus on being reliable, present, and consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully and make sure dogs are walked calmly and securely. I’m attentive, respectful of your home and routine, and always keep pets supervised. I communicate clearly and want pet parents to feel fully comfortable and confident while their pet is in my care.

About: Dear parent(s), I thank you for considering me to look after your puppy. In the following short paragraphs you will read a little bit about me and my love for nature. SERVICE: I cater to those parents who need either a "once in a while" (but can be frequent) and/or a "last minute" sitting/walking care. I update my Rover availability based on my regular job's schedule to date to provide you a better service. ME: My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc. I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.
“Phil was awesome right from the start meeting him. Being a dog trainer myself I am very picky and particular with who I choose to watch my dogs. He did exactly what I asked and needed him to do and more and couldn't have been happier with the results and my dogs seemed very comfortable with him as he did with them. He gives detailed descriptions of each visit and leaves you feeling at ease when under his handling and care. Highly recommend he will be my guy going forward. Thank you Phil!”
“Arina was great with my dogs! She was able all three of them and would highly recommend her for anyone worried about getting a sitter for multiple animals!”
“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.”
“Brionna is AMAZING! I have a 2 year old cat that I recently adopted and was nervous as this was the first time I would ever be away from my kitty but Brionna’s calm and kind demeanor quickly put me at ease! She was so communicative leading up to the visit and throughout. Her daily photos and remarks let me know that Tortellini was safe, cared for and comfortable! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be asking her to take care of Tortellini again :)”
“Rachel really helped me with my dog and cat during a difficult time, she walked my dog Petey twice without being asked, out of concern for him. She cares about Petey and Busker. ❤️”
“Selina was wonderful! I appreciated her detailed updates and cute photos and videos. My cat clearly loved her which is always a huge relief. I would definitely book again!”
“Emily was a great communicator and excellent drop in sitter for our cat, Charlie, while we were away for the weekend! We are definitely looking forward to having her help again!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated pet lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Having raised and cared for my own dogs throughout my life, I fully understand the deep responsibility and attention to detail required to keep a pet healthy, safe, and happy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I am the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s staying over for multi-day house sitting, providing midday check-ins, or leading energetic daily walks, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I am experienced with maintaining precise feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing basic training, and giving plenty of play time and belly rubs. When your dog is with me, you can expect open communication, regular photo updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, trustworthy hands I work from home which means my schedule is flexible! I can help out in between meetings and work with a dogs needs as long as I know ahead of time. If it is okay with you, I also can work from your house and even bring my dog (if your dog is friendly) to spend extra time with the pup! Leash & Apartment Safety: Residing in an apartment means I am highly attentive during on-leash neighborhood walks, always keeping a firm grip, staying alert to surrounding distractions, and ensuring secure building entries and exits. Off-Leash & Trail Expertise: I regularly take my own well-trained dog to off-leash dog parks and hiking trails for exercise. While I only keep dogs off-leash with explicit owner permission, I am skilled at managing energy and maintaining control in open environments.
About: Hi there! I’ve always loved animals and am lucky enough to have a cat of my own, Kitty, who has been with me for 6 years! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, but rest assured, I will love them as if they are my own! Your pet will be in good hands with me and I’m excited for the chance to meet them! Pet care is a priority in my schedule! I am home most of the week and during the day so I’m very flexible on time. I love to stay active so also willing to do frequent walks or play outside with your pet. I have one cat in my home and am very careful with ensuring her safety and health - she is well-maintained and clean (e.g., brushing, cleaning teeth, trimming nails) and spayed. Just let me know if your pet has any specific needs, allergies, or anything in particular to be aware of! I’m someone who loves to take photos of my cat so if you want frequent updates on your pet, I’m happy to do that too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
Emily was a great drop-in sitter for my 2 cats for 11 days. She responded quickly to my initial request that she was available. Emily came by my apartment to meet the cats and go over their care before the scheduled visits. She checked in daily and provided pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to have Emily care for my cats again.
Considering this was our first time hiring a pet sitter, Alexa was very knowledgable and reassuring! She updated us each day on how our baby was and followed instructions/requests with no complaints. I appreciated all the photos we would get after every drop in visit. Highly recommend.
Jenny was absolute perfection, following every single detail of our care instructions without missing a beat. She kept us constantly in the loop with helpful updates and pictures so we always knew how our cats were doing. When unexpected changes arose with our cats' needs, she accommodated our last-minute extra requests. Knowing they were in such attentive hands made being away completely stress-free!
Jenny took amazing care of my two cats, Millie and Annie. She made sure all their needs were met and kept me up to date on everything including hairballs and a day my more finicky girl had a so-so appetite. She also made sure they got pets and play, took tons of great pics, and left things looking great for when we returned home! I always stress leaving my girls to go away- with Jenny I’ve had the best peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Absolute recommend!

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 Fort Lee 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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
