“Reggie was greatly taken care of during this drop-in visit booking! As he's going through a couple ailments right now, we were worried to leave him in anothers care. However, not only did they give him lots of love and playtime, they also were able to give him eye medication, and inhaler, and his steroid pill! They also sent over many photos, updates, and were incredibly communicative. I will be rebooking, thank you for taking such great care of Reggie <3”
“We were extremely pleased with Gabriela and Maidely. They kept our minds at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. Will definitely book with them again!!”
About: Hello fellow animal lover i’ve cared for and loved my dog niko for 15 years so I know what it’s like trying to find someone who’ll give the proper love, attention, and exercise to your favorite friend while your away so look no further. I enjoy walking and look forward to creating a safe bond between us while you’re away we’ll enjoy long walks to their favorite locations fun times playing catch if necessary and anything else that you need to ensure comfortability at the end of each walk. If there are any questions or concerns about any safety precautions or specific routes to take please let me know. In closing i hope you choose me if you’ve made it this far and can’t wait to meet you.
“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.”
“Positively the BEST pet sitter and all around person you could ask for! We are so grateful for Christina's extra care, attention, love and delightful personality and unmatched sense of humor. She's earned the trust of my snooty Winifred. No easy task! Thank you!!!!!”
“Fernando and Milena were both amazing at giving Sora the utmost time and care when it came to their drop-ins. We received so many photos of her at home and on walks, and she looked very happy! I told them they didn’t have to walk her at night and could use the dog run, but they did anyways which I thought was super sweet. We really appreciated their clear communication and getting to schedule a meeting beforehand so they could meet Sora and for me to show them around the building/where all of her things were. Will definitely book again the next time we are out of town!”

If needed, I’m happy to accommodate pet owners’ schedules to find times that work best for their pet’s routine and comfort. My number one goal is safety and comfort.

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life. I had a Siberian Husky and a Pomeranian Spitz of my own, and over the years neighbors, friends, and family have asked me to walk, feed, and look after their dogs. I’ve taken care of all kinds — from small fluffy ones to big energetic breeds. I just really like dogs and try to treat them the way I’d want someone to treat mine. I’m reliable, I don’t mind long walks, and I always send owners updates and photos so they know their dog is doing fine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits while they’re at work, or staying overnight at their place, I’m happy to help out in Jersey City. I’m currently working part-time, so I have good flexibility during the day. I’m available for dog walks on weekdays in the morning and afternoon, and also on weekends. I can usually fit in walks between 9am and 6pm, and I’m happy to adjust if a regular client needs a specific time. When walking dogs, I always make sure they are secure on the leash and I pay close attention to their behavior and the surroundings. I follow the owner’s instructions about routes, other dogs, and any special needs. I’m calm and patient, and I do my best to give each dog a good, safe walk while keeping them happy and exercised. I also send photos and updates after the walk so owners know everything went well.
“Averi did so well with Elliot, he tends to take some time to get used to new faces but he warmed up well and was well taken care of. So grateful for the last minute help, as well!”
“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.”
“Ekaterina is an amazing cat sitter—thoughtful, caring, and communicative. She has a warm connection with Ziggy, who clearly adores her. She followed all our instructions to the letter and was quick to let us know of any issues with our cat. She is also very easy to talk to and knowledgeable about cats. Highly recommend!”
“Val was great!! Communicative and reliable — a true cat lover! We appreciated that she stayed to play with the cats for a while and didn’t just feed them and leave. ”
“I highly recommend Sidun as a dog sitter! She’s been amazing with my dog, Hunter, always showing great care and attention. Sidun is very punctual, which gives me peace of mind knowing that Hunter is in great hands. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is comfortable and happy. I can’t recommend Sidun enough!”
“Tonguc is the absolute best! Not only is he professional and reliable, he also has genuine love for animals in his care. He’s also an excellent communicator: in one week sent me more pictures and videos of my cat Leía than I’d already had in my possession! Baris is the the man!”
“Peih was a stellar sitter who provided flawless care for my cat, Sofie. Right before I left for my trip, Sofie got sick and things became very stressful for me. I was so worried about leaving her for so long, and I felt bad writing up such a long list of instructions for a new sitter, but Peih followed all of it perfectly. Great communication the whole time. Gave Sofie her meds. She even went the extra mile sending progress videos of her training Sofie with her inhaler. If you want to know your pet is in safe hands while you're away, I highly recommend Peih. ❤️”

Nancy and Derek were absolutely wonderful watching over our rabbit, Charli! They are two very responsible pet sitters who were always on top of daily responsibilities, sharing daily updates with us, and going above and beyond to communicate anything that came up during the booking. We really appreciate the two of them and trust them to treat the pets they sit as their own! Highly recommend them ✨
Kaitlyn is the sweetest! Her warm, cheerful, and caring nature helped her bond with Jake so quickly, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away traveling. She was incredibly reliable, prompt with Jake’s schedule, responsive, and always kept me updated on how he was doing. I especially appreciated how thoughtful she was about Jake’s safety—she checked with me about what she could and couldn’t do with him, including his interactions with other people and animals. It was clear that Kaitlyn genuinely cared about Jake’s well-being and always put his best interests first. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful care and attention she gave him. I would absolutely trust Kaitlyn with Jake again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their pet!
Liwei, was super reliable and took care of both my cat and dog while me and boyfriend traveled for a few days. He was very communicative and sent pictures through the walk ins. My dog who can be hyper and nervous to start became comfortable as Liwei spent a little time adjusting to her needs and having great walks. He made my out of town getaway easy knowing he was with the pets.
Feiran is such a great and reliable dog walker. I will definitely be booking her again. She followed all instructions and was very attentive to my dog. She even got him to eat all of his food and my dog loved her! 10/10 would recommend Feiran to anyone in the neighborhood.

Antwan took great care of our cat and dog, since he has experience with both. Accurately documented their check-ins, gave Alfie extra walks and even took some time to shoe Coconut some tricks during playtime! Overall impressed with how happy they are after Antwans drop-ins!
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.

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

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
