“Neide is a dream! She clearly spends a lot of time with animals and is passionate about them. Leaving my 16 year old senior cat and my 1 year old new cat was nerve wracking, but Neide’s compassion and knowledge put me at ease. I highly recommend Neide!”
About: I will absolutely speak to your pup in a baby voice! It is likely that we will become friends immediately. I am a medical student and have had experience balancing my studies with caring for pups. I can help with a bit of training practice, play in the park near my place, or acclimate your dog to public spaces. Whatever your dog may need, I will provide it! I am currently a medical student! Most of my weekday is spent at the hospital, and I would love to unwind on a walk after work in between the study sessions. Although I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space for your pup and a crate if needed! No other dogs or animals, just a dog loving boyfriend.
About: I have many experience taking care of pets. I want pets to have a great experience. Therefore, I take the experience of pets very seriously. For Summer, I have a lot of availability. I cannot wait to take care of your dog or cat! I look forward to providing the best care possible for your loved one. I am very understanding and know how important pets are. Therefore, I would like to know how I can provide the best care for your pet.
About: I've cherished the company of pets throughout my entire life, ranging from the tiniest Shih Tzu to the majestic Siberian Huskies. My active lifestyle perfectly aligns with my passion for taking dogs on invigorating walks and spending countless hours engaged in joyful play with them. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I've diligently cared for animals belonging to my uncles, even tending to my neighbor's cherished cats. I've also gone the extra mile to care for Guinea Pigs on behalf of my friends. My affinity for animals knows no bounds, and I genuinely cherish and adore each and every one of them. I’m currently attending school and working part-time so I am mostly only free on the weekends. Most of the time with a heads up I can make availability any day of the week. I live on a completely fenced property and I even have a doggy door for our furry friends. I know a few good doggy parks nearby that I can take our friends to in my car. I will always put the safety of our friendly little buddies first!
About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.
About: Hi 👋 I’m Anthony. I’ve been on Rover for over two years now. I love pets, was never allowed to have them growing up. Dogs are my favorite but I’m great with cats and all my friends are cat owners! Still don’t have the place in my life to have my own yet, so I’m very enthusiastic about taking care of others’ pets like they are my own. I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats on Rover. A lot of them are posted above in the photos (cuties). From senior dogs and cats to puppies, hosting in my home at separate times as well. Medicine trained. Never had any issues. I am also great at behavioral training with treats if need be. My prices are after my time of experience in this pet world and with the fees on this app. I’m one of the best. This is my only job at the moment. I’m always updating owners with videos, pictures, and texts. Making sure you know they are safe and comfortable. I never cancel and always show up. I make sure I dot my p’s and q’s. A lot of the time, it ends up being more time than alotted. I don’t have a car, so either I walk or take transportation. 30 minute drop ins or walks actually end up being closer to an hour because I like being with the pets and don’t mind giving them a long walk like most of them want. 😂I’m always paying attention and create a safe environment for any pet to make sure they’re happy just like me. House sitting I tend to have to adjust to the home of others and clean up after myself, while updating you throughout, for when you arrive home. I work from home, editing and social media, on my own schedule. So I’m always free and flexible if we can make it work. Shouldn’t be an issue. I love playing with pets and cuddling always. I’m a runner and love to match their energy. I also make sure they aren’t doing anything they aren’t supposed to be doing. I make sure they are happy and comfortable at all times
“Andrew is our go to person when I need someone to keep TIMO company’s especially during last minute requests! TIMO always enjoys play time with Andrew and always waits for him and greets him with a hello each time. If anyone needs a dependable person who is good with pets look to Andrew! Timo and I appreciate it!”
About: My whole life I've taken care of dogs and fostered kittens when needed. I work well with dogs of any age.

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: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.
About: Hello, I have been working in petcare professionally for 10 years. A meet n greet in PERSON is mandatory for my services. It prevents confusion and distrust and i'd like the animal themselves to be comfortable overall. If you do not think this matters in your petcare needs we are not a good fit for another. Do not send me requests JUST before your sitting is needed. I do not do rushed last minute bookings. I make the time as long as my time doing it is respected. This is part of my daily routine so be sure to promptly send updates for care needs. I can offer a wide range of care preferences. Let me know what your pets home life style is and we can go from there.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I’m new to Rover but not to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and giving pets lots of attention. I currently have a cat and dog of my own and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I take my college courses online, so I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for pet care daily from 9 AM–7 PM and can easily work visits and walks around my classes. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’m attentive, responsible, and will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while in my care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kearny
I am very grateful for Emnely because she took care of my dog while I was away. She walked him & gave him food. Emnely kept me informed when she picked up my dog and dropped him off. She even took pictures and sent it to me. I highly recommend Emnely. Thank you! Katherine
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with her. From the very beginning, she was attentive, organized, and detail-oriented. Before booking, she took the time to listen carefully, take notes, and make sure everything was understood. I never leave my dog alone, so trusting someone to care for her was very important to me. She did an outstanding job. Samantha was walked regularly, and I received updates throughout the walks, which gave me peace of mind. She even went above and beyond what was originally included in our agreement, and I truly appreciate the extra effort and care she provided. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Samantha’s comfort and well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will absolutely be booking with her again soon, and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, accommodating, and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Samantha.
Morgan is awesome! She accepted my request last minute and was so sweet and attentive to my baby. I got a lot of updates and photos. She’s very communicative and gentle. I recommend 100% and I will definitely contact her again for future services. Thank you again for everything Morgan! 🫶🏼
Dan was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our fur kids. Both pets seemed very happy with each visit, we absolutely loved the photo check ins, and we were able to enjoy our vacation as a family knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend him for your pet care needs.
Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!
Joni is just amazing!! Our pup Milo loves Joni. She walks Milo 3 days a week and helps us out in a pinch. We get great updates from her. She’s helped Milo learn how to go on little bike runs with her and tires our little boy out when needed! She’s also so patient with Milo. We love her and recommend her for all your puppy needs :))))

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kearny is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 26,622 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 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 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.
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 Kearny with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kearny. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
