Jazmine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Kodi yesterday. She was punctual and she made sure he had his bathroom breaks, food, and treats. Also, she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Jazmine for a job well done!

Meghan is great!! She helped us out last minute and took great care of our pets. She was communicative, thorough, and most importantly, kind to our pets, & we could enjoy our time away without worrying how they were doing. Highly recommend :)

About: I've raised dogs my whole life. Everything from cocker spaniels to a golden retriever. I recently upped the difficulty by training our puppy to be a service animal. Happy to play, cuddle, or just let them have a quiet place to settle. I have no problems taking care of your baby. While I'm newer to cats my partner has fostered kittens to elderly cats and is passing on their knowledge. I am currently full time at home so I have a very open schedule to help your fur baby with all those difficult times when you can't be with them. Your home and your fur baby will be treated with complete respect. I understand that I am being trusted with one of your most precious possessions.

Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!

It was our first time using Kristina to watch over our pet while we were away, and it won’t be our last!! She was very sweet to our girl and our home while we were gone and felt a great piece of mind knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much Kristina!

About: I have had many pets in my life ranging from dogs and cats, to turtles and parakeets. With this, I can promise I am used to all the different personalities pets can offer. Whether they are energetic or apathetic I can promise you your pet is in safe hands. I am currently on break from college and am doing this as a way to make some extra money. I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.

Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!

About: I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, just passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

About: Hi! I’m Kristy, and caring for animals has always been one of my favorite things. As both a dog and cat owner, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your furry family members. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including senior pets and those with special medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and caring for pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or reassurance. Having cared for my own pets through health challenges, I’ve learned how important it is to be observant, reliable, and proactive. Before changing careers, I was a teacher, so being dependable, organized, and communicative comes naturally to me. I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm, comforting presence around, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I can’t wait to get to know you and your furry family! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m able to be reliable, responsive, and accommodate a variety of scheduling needs—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to give them the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. While I don’t host pets in my home because my own dog prefers to have her space, I’d love to care for your pets through house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks. I find many pets are happiest staying in their familiar environment, and I’m committed to keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away.

Ash took great care of Ellie for me! It is such a comfort to know I can have someone like her come to the house to take care of my fur baby so that she can stay in her environment when I travel for work. I would highly recommend having Ash care for your pet and would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fort Lee on Rover is $16.05 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 2,350 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fort Lee. 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 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.

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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
