About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m looking to make some extra income so I can continue being a stay-at-home mom, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m happy to work around their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention and care.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

“Tracy and Steven were awesome—our pets were clearly in great hands. They really took the time to bond with them, playing with our dog and giving lots of attention and cuddles to our cats. They showed up three times a day like clockwork and even grabbed a couple packages from the front door, which we really appreciated. The updates and photos after each visit were thoughtful and reassuring. It made a big difference not having to worry about our animal children while we were away. We’d definitely book them again.”

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

“The MOST important thing I look for in a pet sitter is genuine care, love and concern for my pets; Devon has this in spades. The second most important thing I look for is someone who is professional and good at communication: Devon also checks these boxes! My more timid dog normally barks at new people but not with Devon! On some visits there were some small obstacles with my more timid dog but Devon did not get discouraged, was very communicative with me about what was happening, super patient with my dog and great at problem solving with me. Now my timid one is “right at home” with Devon and the other has taken to her like a snug bug in a rug 😊. I would recommend her to others if you are looking for someone longer-term to call “family” to your fur babies!”

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care.

I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

About: Hi! I’m Danielle — a full-time veterinary nurse working in a busy emergency animal hospital. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do on the side — it’s what I do every day, especially in high-pressure, critical situations. Because I work in emergency medicine, I’m extremely comfortable with pets who have medical needs, anxiety, special diets, mobility limitations, or who simply need a little extra patience and understanding. I have hands-on experience monitoring anesthesia, administering medications (including injections), recognizing early signs of illness, and handling urgent situations calmly and efficiently. That said — I also absolutely love the fun side of pet care. Long walks, enrichment play, structured routines, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away are just as important to me.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Kinnelon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kinnelon is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $32 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 19,466 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kinnelon. 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 Kinnelon 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 Kinnelon 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 Kinnelon. 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.
