“I’ve did multiple bookings with Lexis some drop ins and boarding she is absolutely the best sitter ever! She’s so reliable sticks to her word and is very trustworthy! She checked on my pups every day and even went over and beyond for them. I’m so appreciative that I found her on Rover she deserves so much recognition. Her communication skills are excellent she will also tell you what’s going on and send pictures. She’s the sweetest ever thank you again I will definitely book with her every single time.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, my first dog was a German shepherd that I begged my dad to buy from this gardener that came to our house once. I was 7 years old and that was the love of my life, he connected and went everywhere with me. I cried so much when we lost him that my mother tried to adopt 2 more dogs, as much as I love them, they could never replace Loucky. Currently own a cat and a pit bull puppy, I can’t get enough of animals I work overnight and my roomates and I are home all day with my own pets so I am free all day to fulfill our furry friend’s needs Simon ( my cat) and Thunder ( pit bull) gets a set feeding schedule, before and after I go to work I feed them and walk them, then my roommate lunch this around midday and also walk them, then they get afternoon snack
“Jazmin did a great job! She checked in on my little buddy Mosh everyday I was gone and made sure to give him lots of love and playtime! Will definitely book with her anytime I need someone to take care of my furry fwend.”
“We were nervous to leave our kitties with a sitter for the first time, but Katie and Carol did such an amazing job with them! They were attentive, gave detailed updates every day, and were very patient with our cats. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our cats were well taken care of! We would recommend Katie & Carol any day!”
“Deanna did a fantastic job with my cat during a four-day drop-in visit. She was professional, incredibly sweet, and provided consistent, detailed updates. My cat is very timid with strangers, but Deanna went out of her way to socialize with him, and by day two, he was already playing and cuddling with her! I highly recommend Deanna for anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Christina is the best petsitter you could truly ask for! She was so patient and loving with our timid cat while we were away. She tried all the tricks to get our cat out of hiding and her perseverance paid off! They Winnie finally emerged and they bonded! Christina goes above and beyond in her communication, rover cards and care of Winnie and home. I'm so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, warm, humorous and thorough care giver for our kitty. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much, Christina!! You're the BEST!”

About: I am a semi-retired mom who has raised puppies from birth up until their senior years. I have taken puppy obedience classes while volunteering at animal shelters and have learned to adapt to different personalities of animals especially in different and new environments, which we all know can be stressful for some of our pets! I only work one day a week so I have tons of time to look after and take care of your pets! I can walk them during the day and board them any day of the week as long as you need. I have a fenced in yard, 3 dog parks within 5 minutes of our home and tons of fresh tennis balls and chew toys. I have a variety of treats ranging from dental chews to promote good dental health and organic treats with vitamins to help with their joints/make their coats nice and is easy on the stomach. We have tons of extra clean and cozy pet beds, pillows, and stuffed animals. I live in a clean and smoke free environment for your pet during their stay!
About: I have over 20 years of experience with professional pet care, and it’s always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! Although I have a major soft spot for dogs of all shapes and sizes I absolutely love cats and love their sometimes quirky personalities. I’ve previously worked at a Vet clinic caring for pets as well as Chewy so I have extensive knowledge when it comes to anything about your pets. I am a freelance street photographer so my days are usually spent working from home or walking the city so you can rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of and have someone with them for the majority of the time you when boarding. I live in a great sized loft and pets do not have any restrictions in my home. The more comfortable they are the better. I’m very laid back as well and don’t mind sitting at your residence as well. Whatever makes your pet more comfortable.

Itati and Ronald were amazing!!!! Holly was well taken care of by them!! They helped me tremendously with my anxiety of leaving her alone for the first time. They kept me up to date on her and sent me Pics! Loved that they let me know about her potty breaks and if she ate or didn’t. Thank you so much!! We will be booking again!!
I reached out to Isaac fairly last minute when I needed a regular walker for my puppy on the days I’m in the office after my previous walker went on an extended vacation. He responded quickly, asked all the right questions, and has been incredibly reliable ever since. As a first time puppy owner, I definitely get nervous about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. Isaac offered to do a meet and greet first, and within minutes I could tell my dog absolutely adored him. Since then, he’s become a staple in our routine, and I know my dog genuinely looks forward to seeing him every week. Communication has been fantastic. I always get updates and the best photos from their walks, which definitely makes being away a little easier. He’s also been amazing about accommodating last minute drop-in requests when something comes up. Even now that my original walker is back, I’ve asked Isaac to continue walking my dog one or two days a week because I know how much he loves him. I can’t recommend Isaac enough to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog walker.
Tessa has been wonderful 😊 Arya took well to her rather quickly which was impressive. She's always respectful and provides me a full detailed report. Of course, photos too! With my new commute and insane schedule, she has been so accommodating and a gem. Arya and I are lucky to have her 🐕🙃
Simply amazing! I will always ask Alekhandra to take care of my Bruno. This was my first time leaving my baby with a dog sitter and she made both Bruno and myself feel very comfortable and assured that he was in good hands. She even taught me how to properly get the harness on the puppy and how to train him for walks. She’s great and I’m more than happy with her services!
Sarah took great care of Toby during his drop-in visits. She gave him his dinner, took him out for potty breaks, and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Toby seemed happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates. I would absolutely book with her again!
Liz was absolutely wonderful! From our first meeting, I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My shepherd can be reactive on walks at times, so finding someone I trust with him is incredibly important, and Liz exceeded all my expectations. She was reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog and took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Would not hesitate to book Liz again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring sitter!

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 Jersey City 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 Jersey City 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 .

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 Jersey City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
