“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, as well as for family and friends. I’ve cared for all kinds of pups from playful, energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to keep them safe, comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’m happy to provide the love and care they deserve! 🐾🤍 Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've had experience caring for my own dog since he was a puppy, including helping train him and taking care of his everyday needs. I've also cared for my family's senior dog, which taught me the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. On top of that, I've pet-sat for friends and family, so I'm comfortable caring for pets outside of my own home as well. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I currently work full-time Monday - Friday between 8:30am to 4:30pm. I am happy to pet sit before or after. I am also available during the weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routines, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by their owners. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed when their families are away, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also respect my clients' homes and always make sure everything is kept clean and organized. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures to let owners know how their pets are doing.
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.
“Victoria was very sweet to my cats! She played with them and made sure to spend time with them. She sent lots of videos of my kitties when I was missing them. She was very responsive & left everything super clean.”

About: Hi, I’m Jahari — a full-time college student with real-world animal care experience, both in and out of the clinic. I currently work at a veterinary office and volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so animal care isn’t just a side gig — it’s a passion deeply rooted in my everyday life. With 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 birds of my own, I understand how important trust, patience, and personalized care are. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a shy senior cat, or a talkative parakeet, I adapt to every pet’s unique needs and personality. I’ve also cared for exotics and farm animals, including goats, chickens, and reptiles — so if your fur baby has feathers, scales, or hooves, they’re in experienced hands. As a full-time college student and current veterinary office employee, I’ve built a schedule that balances academic goals with my passion for animal care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, with early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for drop-in visits, walks, overnights, and even farm animal care. I also volunteer at Loggerhead Marinelife Center, so working with animals is not just a job — it’s part of my everyday life. With flexible class blocks and experience managing time across multiple responsibilities, I’m able to provide dependable, compassionate care without compromising the attention each pet deserves. I prefer to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and medication — and tailor my care to their unique personality. With experience in a veterinary office, volunteering at Loggerhead, and caring for a wide range of animals (including dogs, cats, birds, goats, and more), I provide calm, reliable, and compassionate care that helps pets feel safe while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, including my own pets as well as dogs and cats for family, friends, and clients. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, refilling water, basic cleanup, giving pets attention, and following detailed instructions from owners. I try to keep pets active, calm, and cared for while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient with different personalities, whether a pet is energetic, shy, stubborn, or just needs extra reassurance. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I’m active, flexible, and already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and care visits depending on the day and time. I do my best to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure each visit is handled with care from start to finish. I’m happy to follow the owner’s routine so their pet feels as comfortable as possible. I take safety seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions for each pet. During walks, I stay aware of the surroundings, keep pets secure on leash, and avoid unsafe situations with other animals, traffic, or distractions. In the home, I make sure food, water, doors, gates, and any special care instructions are handled properly. I also like to send clear updates so owners know their pet was cared for, safe, and happy.
About: **Available to travel outside the service area, please ask** (I sit primarily in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina, but I welcome requests outside this area. I'm also looking for a cat sit near Montpellier / Nimes [Southern France area] starting in March 2027.) Hi pet owners! When it's time for you to play or travel -- I'll make sure your pets still get the fun or relaxing time they deserve, too. My name is Jane. As a self employed tutor and photographer, I have created a flexible lifestyle that allows me to stay active and to travel. I walk, cycle, swim, and go to the gym regularly. I love to explore new places and nature. And life is just more fun with animals in it! Growing up in the beautiful Bahamas, I spent a lot of time outdoors and on the water with my dad. I’ve always been a "water baby" – I love snorkeling, diving, and boating. And of course, we always had pets! My first dog was an Alsatian German shepherd, and we had about five cats, along with a Red-crowned Amazon Parrot that I taught to say phrases in a few different languages. We also had a Macaw that lived outside near a huge birdcage my dad built for our other five-plus species of birds. When I moved to the States, I brought back a "potcake" dog after a summer visit to the Bahamas. Potcakes are mixed-breed rescue dogs commonly found there. In Florida, we also had a variety of animals – from ferrets to ducks, geese, and even homing pigeons! I love to travel, and I always look forward to spending time with pets whenever I can. I’ll take great care of your pet right in the comfort of your home! Whether that means going for walks, having playtime, or just hanging out, I’m here for it. If your pet loves adventures, the ocean, or exploring, we’ll both be over the moon! And if your kitty is more into cuddling or keeping their distance (cats, right? 😄), I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Just let me know what makes your pet happy, and I’ll make sure they get exactly what they need. I’ve also got experience administering medicine, including daily puffs for an asthmatic kitty. I’m here to keep your fur babies happy and healthy!
About: Hi, I am Vivi and love dogs thanks to my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Nero who filled our family home with joy for twelve years! I look forward to meeting and taking care of your pets. I have boarded dozens of beautiful dogs - big and small, for over three years now. I really enjoy it and so do the dogs! My partner and I will be with your dog throughout the day and they will get all the attention they need. We ensure to cater to each dog's individual needs during their stay. I'll also be sending multiple pictures every day so you can see how your loved one is doing :) I typically only host one dog at a time so that they are most comfortable. I also love cats, I’ve had the chance to babysit family and friend cats successfully. There will always be someone at home with your pet, either me or my partner. We are very active and will happily take your dog on longer walks in the middle of the day, morning or night, based on their preferences. I am very cognizant of each individual dog's personality and make sure to understand their interests and triggers when they arrive for boarding. With that, I ensure that your dog gets the appropriate exposure to other dogs and people. Needless to say, I make sure the leash and harness are properly secured before heading out on walks and are careful when approaching other dogs and people.
About: Animal lover with a calm, responsible, and patient personality. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and daily routine. Known for being attentive, empathetic, and maintaining great communication with pet parents. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and plan my day around their needs. I make sure to dedicate enough time for walks, play, and companionship, so every pet gets personalized attention and care without rush. At my home, pets are treated like family. I keep a calm, safe, and clean environment with cozy spaces for rest and play. I always follow each pet’s routine and preferences as shared by their owners, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets at my clients’ homes, I respect their space and house rules. I make sure everything stays tidy, provide company and comfort, and follow all instructions carefully so the pet keeps their usual routine and feels secure.

“I’m so grateful my friend recommended Susana. I was very nervous to find a sitter I could trust so I can resume traveling. Susana was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I felt I could trust her right away! I now feel more comfortable leaving Baby Girl in good hands. I can’t wait to have them be good friends in future visits!! I recommend Susana to anyone who fears for the care of your pet. She is truth worthy and knowledgeable. BOOK HER!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
Kylee was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She gave my sweet old girl Daisy all the extra love and patience she needs while keeping up with my goofy, energetic Rudy. It meant the world to find someone who cared for our dogs like they’re her own. Kylee truly went the extra mile, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave them. We can’t recommend her enough!

I book Lisa over and over again because she’s so reliable and great with my cat Sweet Pea. She’s very attentive. She plays for the full 30 minutes with her each visit, tidies up the litter box and feeds her twice a day. Sweet Pea loves her and I feel very confident traveling knowing that Lisa is taking care of her. I highly recommend Lisa - she’s wonderful.

Kirsty is truly an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, responsible and completely focused on her duties. She was on time everyday, kept me updated with texts and pictures daily, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent and I could tell that she cared about my pups and took her responsibilities seriously. She was also very friendly and seemed genuinely kind. I highly recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable and caring dog sitter.
Andrea did an amazing job taking care of Loki! He clearly loves her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, and responsive throughout the entire stay, and even went above and beyond helping me deal with a few packages that were accidentally dropped off incorrectly at my apartment. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Andrea again!

I’m so grateful my friend recommended Susana. I was very nervous to find a sitter I could trust so I can resume traveling. Susana was very sweet and easy to communicate with. I felt I could trust her right away! I now feel more comfortable leaving Baby Girl in good hands. I can’t wait to have them be good friends in future visits!! I recommend Susana to anyone who fears for the care of your pet. She is truth worthy and knowledgeable. BOOK HER!!!

Aline was wonderful with our cat Star. She watched her for a few hours and was attentive, kind, and very easy to communicate with. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made sure Star was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. We really appreciated her reliability and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Aline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.

Kailey was a great sitter for my two cats. Someone who’s was supposed to take care of my cats bailed out, so it was a last minute call to find a cat sitter. I remember contacting Kailey before but her schedule didn’t work for us. Thank God this time she was available and my instinct was not wrong. Kailey was sweet, responsible and kept the litter area clean. Kailey sent us the pictures daily and left daily notes. We are very happy with her and will definitely contact her in near future.

Andres was an amazing cat sitter! He followed all instructions carefully and treated my cat with great care. I truly appreciated how reliable and attentive he was throughout the visit. I’m especially grateful he was available last minute when I needed to be away, and I would absolutely book him again! Thank you!💖

Caitlyn went above and beyond to ensure our cats were exceptionally well cared for while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and very professional. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Glen Ridge is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,770 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Glen Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Ridge. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
