“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 my own fur baby and I've been a caregiver for 16 years in a home full of dogs 5 to be exact. I play with them , I make sure they have food and water , I take them for walks or let them run around in the back yard and bathe as requested. I love animals. During My Daily schedule I have a 3 hour break in between clients . I'm completely free on the weekends. So I'm pretty flexible to walk your fur baby or check on them. I dont offer in home care at my home but I will gladly offer the services to your fur babies in your home and by doing that I would be checking for bathroom accident or maybe a mess they made by tearing stuff up and clean it up for you.
“Isabela was a great cat sitter for our feline family. We had never tried a professional sitter before and were anxious about the experience especially the care of our cats. Isabela was very patient with us and our fur babies and made the visits as stressful as free as possible. We look forward to having her for our future trips and I’d bet our fur babies are excited to see her again as well.”

“My puppy loves Brittany! She’s very patient , kind and observant and puts the needs of your pet first . I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”

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.
“Jessica was wonderful, she was organized, punctual and caring to my pets. She kept in constant communication and shared photos of my dogs. Her services were greatly appreciated.”

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: Looking for a sitter who will love your dog like their own? Look no further! I have been dog sitting and walking ever since I was young. I love active pups and cuddly pups! I’m a college soccer player who is always down for a game of fetch or some doggy cuddles! I’m looking for some dogs to love on while I am away from my dog, Sandy! I am willing to do walks, pop-ins, or dog sit. Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I am a college soccer player so I will have class and practice but most evenings and early mornings I will be available. Please feel free to reach out and discuss scheduling as I can often make time!! I will care for pets in a clients home by providing adequate food and water. I will give lots of cuddles! I would love to play with your pups, inside or outside! I strive to keep your pups safe, happy, and healthy!
About: Hi, I’m Dani! I know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind when you travel. My goal is to give your pup a happy, comfortable vacation of their own—and give you peace of mind while you enjoy yours! My home is a place for cuddles, playtime, cozy naps, and plenty of love. Whether your dog loves playing with their favorite toy, taking a sniff-filled walk, or simply relaxing nearby, I take time to learn what makes them feel at home. I welcome up to three guest dogs at a time, keeping stays small and personal. I’m also a veterinary technology graduate and work at an animal hospital very close to my home. My background includes boarding, kennel care, and grooming, along with experience caring for senior dogs and administering prescribed medications. That experience helps me pay attention to the little details that matter, from your dog’s appetite to their usual habits and comfort. As a dog mom to two Rottweilers, Koda and Nala, I understand that every dog has their own personality. Guests can have separate spaces from my dogs, and they are never left unsupervised together. You can look forward to photo updates and messages throughout your pup’s stay, so you can see their little vacation moments too! Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, welcome, and loved—and for you to feel comfortable coming back whenever you need care. I speak English and Spanish and would love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is part of my everyday life, both at home and through my work at a nearby animal hospital. On workdays, our time together includes morning care before I leave and walks, playtime, and relaxing together after I return. My days off allow more time for company and activities. Because I work outside the home, I’ll discuss my exact availability, any time your dog would spend alone, and their potty-break needs with you before confirming a stay. Boarding and daycare are offered only when my schedule is a good fit for your pup. Drop-off and pick-up times are arranged in advance so I can be ready to welcome you. I want your pup to feel like a welcome guest from the moment they arrive! I share my home with my two friendly Rottweilers, Koda and Nala, who love meeting other dogs and can be wonderful company for pups who enjoy making friends. I welcome up to three guest dogs at a time, keeping stays small and personal. Playtime and introductions are supervised, with attention to each dog’s comfort and play style. If you prefer your dog to have their own space away from my dogs, I’m happy to arrange that—just let me know before booking. We’ll go over your pup’s meals, sleeping preferences, medications, and favorite routines so I can help them feel at home. You’re welcome to bring their usual food, a favorite toy, or familiar bedding for extra comfort. I recommend a meet-and-greet before a first stay so you and your pup can meet us and get comfortable with the arrangements. Throughout their vacation, you can expect photos, updates, and caring communication!
“I had a wonderful experience with Gwen. She was attentive and communicative. I was able to enjoy my trips without any worry. I will be using her in the future!”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have also had experience raising puppies and kittens. I love cats just as much. I have an 8 year old dog named Percy, and 10 year old cat named Toulouse who love and play with another all day! I have experience with dogs ranging from different sizes and personalities, but no matter what I know each dog is special. I’ve treated all of the animals in my life like they’re family, and have built a loving relationship with each and would love the opportunity to get to know your animals as well. I understand how important it is to treat each animal with love and respect, and will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your furry family member. I’m available most mornings and nights. I am also most afternoons depending on the week and the clients I have booked for my regular job. On Fridays and weekends I have the most flexibility! I treat each animal with the safety and care they deserve! I believe all animals are apart of the family and should always be treated as such.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

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.
