About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs who became much more than pets; they become my best friends and part of my family. They taught me so much about unconditional love, patience and responsibility and the special bond she shared with our furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with animals in general, getting to know their personalities and understanding their needs and making them feel happy, safe and love will be my priority. I understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care requires trust. I want you to feel confident that your best friend will be receiving my full attention, patience and genuine care. I’m currently available only the weekends Saturdays and Sundays with full time availability. Whether you are looking for someone to take your dog on a hike, or enjoy a long walk, provide drop in visits of care of your furry friend while you are traveling over the weekends, I’d be happy to help. I will always 100% follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, water walks, play time, medication routines and any specific needs or preferences. I’m very strict when it comes to your dogs or cats safety, it will be my priority. For this reason I believe communication is essential I love providing updates, pictures, or calls with the owners so they can enjoy their time away knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Jade was amazing! She house-sat and watched both my dog and cat for a few days. She did an excellent job and have numerous updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and my pets loved her and were often sleeping and cuddling with her. She was very attentive and communicative. Definitely will have her sit again!”

About: After a while away from Rover, I am back to make new furry best friends! On top of being passionate about animals, I have over 8 years of experience catering for pets. I am experienced and knowledgeable, attentive to detail and I will always prioritize safety and well being. I am very adaptable and I love providing personalized care by connecting and learning more about each pet's personality and needs 🤍 I work Monday through Friday 5 min away walking distance from home, which makes pet care extremely easy and convenient. Your pet will have me in the morning, a quick stop in the afternoon and the entire night on week days.

About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).
About: As a passionate pet lover, I believe that every pet deserves a safe and loving environment while you're away. My home is warm and welcoming, with plenty of space for your furry friends to relax and play. I take pride in creating a routine that keeps them happy and engaged, whether it’s snuggling on the couch, play time or enjoying an adventurous day outdoors. Communication is key and I make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages about how your pet is doing. You can expect a personalized experience tailored to your fur baby’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in your absence. Your peace of mind is my priority and I look forward to building a trusting relationship with both you and your fur baby. **FOR DOG WALKING: If you are within a 5 Mile radius from my home, I offer 5 walks a week for $100 from Monday through Friday. You can either use one walk per day or multiple walks in one day whatever is the most convenient for you and your fur baby. So a total of 5 walks for $100 for up to 2 dogs at a time on weekdays.** Currently, I am only doing pet sitting and dog walking as my full time job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to take care of your fur baby’s needs. **FOR DOG WALKING: If you are within a 5 Mile radius from my home, I offer 5 walks a week for $100 from Monday through Friday. You can either use multiple walks in one day or mix it up whatever is the most convenient for you but a total of 5 walks for $100 for up to 2 dogs at a time on weekdays.** Whether your fur baby needs a long walk, a clean litter box, timely meals, playtime, cuddles, or medication, I’m here to help.

“Susi was great with our baby kitties! She stayed with them while we were traveling and took great care of them! She really loves cats and dogs and we greatly appreciated her sharing updates and cute pictures! Lilly and Miss Tabby really enjoyed spending time with Susi! 😻”

About: Hello and welcome! My name is Baris — thank you for visiting my profile. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets for over 15 years, including dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, tortoises, and guinea pigs, and I treat every one of them as a cherished member of the family. I’m calm, patient, and highly detail-oriented, with experience handling pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from playful puppies and strong leash-pullers to shy rescues and seniors who need gentle reassurance. I also have an athletic build, which comes in handy when assisting with pets who need help with mobility, require lifting for transport, or simply have plenty of energy to burn during walks and playtime. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy in their own home and routine while you’re away. Communication and reliability are at the heart of how I work. I provide regular updates and photos, respond promptly, and approach every booking with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care. My daytime pet-care hours generally fall between 9 AM and 5 PM, and I’m happy to accommodate early or late visits and overnights with advance notice when possible. Outside of pet care, my sister and I enjoy running a small business creating hand-drawn pet portraits, and I’m an aspiring singer who performs with a local chorus in the New York City area. My rehearsal evenings are typically Monday and Thursday, which can keep some nights busy, but they also allow me to maintain a flexible daytime schedule — perfect for dependable, attentive care throughout the week, including most weekends and holidays. Other than those rehearsal nights, I’m generally available during the week for walks and in-home visits to keep your pets cared for and content. At home, my family and I share our lives with several adopted cats, so I’m very familiar with the needs and rhythms of multi-pet households — from feeding and scooping to cleaning, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to maintain every animal’s individual routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. For clients located farther from my base area, a small location surcharge may apply when travel exceeds approximately 19 minutes one-way; this typically includes certain areas such as parts of Jersey City, West New York, and Newark. I’m always happy to confirm travel details in advance before finalizing a booking.

“Jazmin is so great! This is our second time working with her and she’s been amazing! Our dog is always so excited to see her & she takes such great care of him❤️”


About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
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!
“Travian took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. It was clear they both got a lot of attention and he also left the house spotless. Would definitely ask Travian to housesit again!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Our dog, cat, and guinea pig were all very well cared for during the overnight stay. Everything was handled responsibly and with lots of care, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d happily recommend Sam and book again!”

About: I’ve owned a pekingese mixed with pug for 10+ years and a blue nose pit bull for 5+ years. I’ve cared for the dogs of family members in the past and for friends of the family. I find dogs enjoyable to be around, for I have been around them all my life. I am available all day, everyday, so anytime of the day would work. I have a large amount of patience, and I am willing to take longer walks to ensure that my duties have been fulfilled. I take pride in my work and you should expect nothing but the results you expect, if not anything better. Dogs have always been fascinating and fun to me, and making a little extra money taking care of them would be a pleasure for me. I’m currently doing part time freelance work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can do whatever service is needed aside from pets being boarded at my residence unfortunately. I tend to keep a close eye on pets unless instructed otherwise and likely to stay interactive with them to build a relationship. I've done boarding in client's homes as well as for pets with special needs, and I'm always willing to grow and learn to accommodate as many people as possible.

Jadis is such a treasure—highly recommended. Jadis took care of my senior dog who has a few special physical needs and also requires medication. Throughout the overnight visit, Jadis sent me photos and updates, which helped reassure me that my dog was in good hands. Overall, this was a great experience, and I was very thankful and happy to have booked Jadis.

We had a fantastic experience with Gabby! She took wonderful care of our home and dog while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in great hands. Gabby was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear our dog was happy and well loved. Her communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the updates and attention to detail. We returned home to a happy dog and a house that was just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We highly recommend Gabby and would absolutely trust her with our home and furry family member again!

Marley was wonderful\! She took great care of Mio while we were away and made sure he was comfortable, safe, and well cared for\. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind while traveling\. I really appreciated her patience, attentiveness, and the care she showed him\. I came home to a happy, well\-cared\-for cat\. I would absolutely book Marley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter\!
We had a wonderful experience! Our dog, cat, and guinea pig were all very well cared for during the overnight stay. Everything was handled responsibly and with lots of care, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d happily recommend Sam and book again!

Gordon watched my three small dogs for three days! This included my one high needs fifteen year old dog and my one year old dog who has a grumpy attitude. Gordon was a pleasure to work with. He was super friendly. He was very attentive. He was super communicative and sent me tons of video and pics of my pups. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend! If you want your pups to be spoiled Gordon is your pick!

We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.

Joni was amazing! Followed my instructions to a T, sent plenty of photos and updates. Even offered to water my garden during a heat wave! Came home to two happy and well loved animals, a clean house, and some lovely fresh flowers placed in water. Can’t recommend Joni enough.

Truly the best sitter! Sent us updates and many pictures of our pup throughout our trip which we loved. She also took him to the dog park on our property twice a day so he had the time of his life. Could not have asked for a better person to take care of our little guy. She’s also incredibly sweet and respectful. Can’t recommend her enough!

Siara is wonderful! She took excellent care of our 13 year old dog, including giving her daily medications, lots of belly rubs and gentle walks. Siara also took excellent photos and videos of our dog, which was so appreciated during our 5 days away. Siara’s communication was excellent too! And she left our house spotless: We will definitely book her again. We recommend Siara to anyone who needs a responsible dogsitter.

Darrin was great taking care of my two boys at my home for a weekend trip I had planned. He provided frequent updates and pictures and was even able to accommodate beyond the originally scheduled trip if needed due to weather travel disruptions. 10/10 would recommend and would happily use him again if ever needed! Thanks again from me and the boys!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kearny is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $77 per night. 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 19,206 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kearny. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kearny walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kearny maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kearny. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
