About: I’ve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I can’t have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I can’t have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but I’m very respectful of other people’s homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.

“We have an anxious 15 year old dog who needs lots of love and anxiety medication, so finding the right person to take care of her while we are gone is hard. We had left our cat with Aletris before and she was awesome, so we decided to see how she and our dog would be together and we are over the moon with the care she gave our pup. Not only did my dog, Ellie eat THE WHOLE time we were away, but she was genuinely happy to see and be cared for by Aletris! We were on the other side of the world in Australia and then had a wedding as soon as we got back and every day we got beautifully detailed reports with pictures and videos of how our fur babies were doing! Not only that but she brought in our mail and our many many packages and also disposed of the trash for us that we had forgotten to take with us and you can leave it out because we have bears, so she physically took it with her. We even did weekly puppy play dates with her leading up to the trip so our doggo could get to know her before she came to pet sit for almost two weeks she as so patient with us and Ellie and we are just so incredibly grateful we found Aletris. 🥲♥️ She is the BEST pet sitter you will ever find! She genuinely cares about your pets and is fully transparent and has fantastic communication skills. All around amazing human with a huge heart! 10/10 would 100% recommend!!!!”

About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

“My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.”

I love her dearly and she makes every day so much brighter I’m currently home full-time with my daughter, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always show respect and responsibility when entering someone else’s home to care or walk their babies because I know I would like the same if someone was taking care of my fur baby

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am an absolute animal lover, your pet will be in great hands with me. I’m responsible, reliable, and treat other peoples animals as my own! I’m fully employed but I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I can be available for your animal from 9am-11pm or if you’re boarding with me, I will be available for your pet all day and night. I am available 7 days and nights a week! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your animal to run around safely. I always like to monitor small dogs, as they’re more vulnerable so I’ll sit outside with them and make sure they’re safe. I currently do not have any animals at the moment, as I lost my Yorkshire terrier in October of 2022, so your pet will be the only animal in my house. I have gates that I can put up if you prefer your pet doesn’t do stairs. And my entire house is pet friendly!

About: Hi! I’m Yunhan and I also go by Riley. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your fur babies. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for my 10 year old yorkie Aj. Who has taught me so much about the importance of patience, routine, and unconditional love. I pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs whether that’s plenty of playtime, snuggles, or extra patience for seniors. I’m also reliable and attentive making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 💕💕 I am super excited to take on this adventure because I have such a deep love for animals and would love to spend my extra time taking care of any lovely dogs or cats. I have a large chunk of time I can spend with cute pups! I am available after 5pm as well! My top priorities are safety and trust. In a client’s home, I always respect their rules and preferences so pets feel comfortable in their own environment. My goal is always to give pets the same love and security I give my own pup 🩷

FAQs for House Sitting - Kinnelon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kinnelon is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $113 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 October 2026, there are 13,696 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kinnelon. 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 Kinnelon 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 Kinnelon 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 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!

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.

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 .

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kinnelon. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
