“Omg! If you have not booked Joe already, you are missing out. Not only is he a wonderful person but he took care of my girls like they were his own. This is my first time hiring a dog walker and I was definitely a little nervous with the idea but Joe made the transition seamless and stress free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🙏 Thank you Joe for everything 🙏❤️”
“Our family was looking for a cat sitter while we were away on vacation. It was just the weekend prior to our leaving and I still hadn’t found anyone. Fortunately Lisbeth responded to my request and I’m so happy she did!! She took great care in getting to know them, caring for them and communicating with me. I know they all felt comfortable around her. She provided peace of mind and it’s often hard to find. Thank you Lisbeth! We will see you again in August lol”
“Katie is awesome with Max, and is also great to deal with. We had to ask her to walk him at very short notice and she accommodated us. Her communication is always prompt and clear.”
“Pam was great, very timely visits and lots of updates. My kitties looked very content in their daily photos and I felt like they were in very good hands while we were away. Definitely highly recommend and will hire again!”
About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, a lifelong animal lover and trained dog care professional based in Ramsey, NJ 🐾 I am willing to help all over North Jersey! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently care for my 14-year-old Wheaten Terrier, Dexter, who I’ve had for his entire life! :) I’ve also worked in a professional dog daycare and provided dog walking and pet sitting for multiple families, and I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities!

I have a very open and available schedule, and I’m available to help you and your furry friend/friends most any time and any day with anything you need :) I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. When caring for dogs in their home, I’m respectful of the space and always leave it even better than I found it!
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”
“Allie did an outstanding job taking care of our Cali. Cali is a tough little girl and gets a bit of "separation anxiety". Allie handled it well and did a great job of making Cali feel comforatble and keeping us informed along the way. Would highly recommend her!”
“Kerri goes the extra mile with our pets, making sure all are cared for, fed, and attended to. She responds quickly and has always been available even when last minute. Couldn't recommend Kerri more.”
“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 :)”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”
“This was our first time using Courtney. She took wonderful care of my 2 Abyssinian Cats for the week we were away . She was diligent and efficient, and spent time and played with them, She was easy to work with and my Cats loved her... She was on top of water fountain, feedings, and kitty litter patrol. She played with them daily and sent me updates on how they were doing , as well as daily photos.. I felt very at ease that my pets were in good care and would highly recommend Courtney and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Franklin Lakes
Joe was absolutely excellent with our precious fur baby. As this was our first time using Rover and choosing Joe. Joe took the time to understand our pet's lifestyle and was wonderfully engaging with our young cat. Throughout our time away, Joe provided great communication, sending daily updates and fantastic photos of his time with our little one, that reassured us she was content, safe, and happy. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her with kindness and attention. Joe is truly amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We now know exactly who we'll be trusting whenever we need to take care of our little one in the future. We highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated pet sitter. Rover is very fortunate to have Joe on the team!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Franklin Lakes. On Rover:

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.
