About: I have experience with every kind of aged fur babies for 13 years. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals since a young girl.

I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pup! I am available daily and even on call! I have three pups who are friendly with other dogs and would have a great day with one another.

About: We’re a young, pet-loving couple with experience caring for dogs—especially since we have a sweet 2-year-old Yorkiepoo at home! Your pup will always have a friendly companion to play with. We treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and care. We’re patient, responsible, and love building trust with both pets and their people. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have a dog of our own! One of us is a teacher, so during the summer we’re available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. After summer break, we’re available Friday nights and weekends to give your pup the care they deserve. We care deeply about each dog and always follow the client’s requests closely. While we live in an apartment, we’re just steps away from a large park, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time and walks. Whether at our home or yours, we provide attentive, loving care based on your dog’s unique needs and routine.

About: Hi! My name is Carlize, and I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old. I’m a huge dog person and a true animal lover! I regularly care for my best friend’s 5-year-old Australian Shepherd, and we’ve built such a great bond over the years. I would love the opportunity to build that same kind of relationship with your pets, making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m knowledgeable about different dog breeds, personalities, and care needs, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing with a companion, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet! I hope you’ll trust me with your furry family member—I look forward to meeting you both and providing the best care possible. 🐾🤍 Hi! I currently work full-time in an office, so my availability is as follows: • Monday, Tuesday & Thursday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM • Wednesday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM • Friday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM • Saturday & Sunday: Available all day I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and weekend care. I always make sure pets receive the attention, care, and love they deserve, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. 😊🐾 I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but I regularly care for my friends’ and family’s pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure each pet stays on their normal routine. I make sure they’re well-fed, comfortable, and have everything they need while you’re away. I’m a very active person, so I love keeping pets active too! Whether it’s playing fetch, going on long walks, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m happy to provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. 😊🐾

About: My whole life I've taken care of dogs and fostered kittens when needed. I work well with dogs of any age. In addition I've also worked with even more animals like turtles,fish, snakes, and sugar gliders Hey! I'm still working on a set schedual right now, so when ever you need me I'm always around! I always make animals my priority If I am dog sitting in someone's home, I'll probably end up sitting with the dog and doing school work on my laptop, then taking the dog on a nice long walk to get us both outside. And playing with them when ever they want!

About: During my teenage years, I gained hands-on experience caring for my family’s dogs. My responsibilities included house-sitting, feeding, walking, bathing, and ensuring the dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. This experience helped me develop responsibility, patience, and a genuine love for animals. Right now, I work a part-time job and go to school. I am available to work Mon and Wednesday from 5- 8 p.m. Also the weekends at 4-7pm I have dogs, so I'm very aware of when they want to play, if they wanna a treat from themselves, or even a belly rub

About: I have always loved animals but was unable to start owning my own dogs until about 11 years ago. I've had two different pit bulls but have been the proud owner of my Puggle, Mama, for the longest time out of the three. Her owner was about to surrender her to the pound so I jumped in and re-homed her. Over the years, I learned a lot about puppies, walking, training, feeding, dog behavior and veterinary care. My dogs have ranged in age from under one to over 13 so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am accustomed to walking dogs in all kinds of weather also! I don't have a yard but there is a park very close to my house where I can walk your dog(s). Your pooch will have no shortage of love, companionship and playtime! I also can administer medication if needed. I am currently working from home so I will be able to provide plenty of attention and follow routines with ease. I do go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week and other than that if I leave the house I'm not gone for long. I am able to schedule errands/outings around caring for your pet. I do not have a yard but I live less than a block away from a park that is pet friendly. I am accustomed to walking a dog daily and anticipating his or her needs because I have owned a dog for years. However, my dog Mama, is a semi-permanent resident at my parents' house in Delaware so I am able to provide undivided attention to your pet(s). I don't have children or any other pets in the house. I typically do not allow pets on the couch or in my bed but I can put a cover on the couch if need be and pets can sleep on a dog bed in my room at night.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.

About: Pets are more than just being animals, they are family. Being able to experience such a grand love from not only me 2 fur babies, but also every pet i’ve ever cared for is such a blessing. Since I was 10 I walked many neighborhood dogs and that’s is exactly what drew me to my first job which was being a kennel assistant at a doggy daycare. I loved every second being able to bond with not only pets, but their owners as well. And being that I’m a young dog walker you will receive many photos of your pet to make your day. I’m a full time worker at a Hair salon & Spa. Mondays & Sundays are my off days and Thursdays are my half off days. Usually I will get random days off which will be updated on my schedule whenever I do get the heads up. Before any care I like to run down on any rules or concerns the pet parents may have. If there ever is a problem parents will be contacted immediately, but of course all the right precautions will be taken when caring for the pets. I am a very coordinated person with lists, and notes of everything I will ever need.

About: My family has always had pets growing up- a boston terrier, an olde english bulldogge and 3 cats! I'm great with small to medium sized dogs and all kinds of cats- I'm my friends' go to fur baby sitter and walker. I learn a lot from my sister who is a vet tech and take care of my own foster dogs! I work from home full time so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I regularly foster dogs from the NYC ACC and volunteer with Jersey City organizations to spend as much time as I can with animals. I lived in Boston and Phoenix for a few years so I have experience walking small and large dogs in cities/ busy areas as well as the suburbs with a yard so I am familiar with checking for ticks and making sure fences and gates are secured.

“Julia was extremely quick, responsive and understanding to a last-minute drop in request I had sent out on Christmas Eve. When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give each dog the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable following individual routines, instructions, and personalities because I know every dog is different. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved — and for their owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away! 🐾❤️ I have open and flexible availability throughout the week, making it easy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m available for weekday walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs and preferred routine. Whether your pup needs a quick midday walk, some extra playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to help! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands.

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kearny on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 26,488 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kearny. 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.

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 Kearny 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

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 , 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.
