“Avital provided exceptional service for my two cats. She is very trustworthy, honest, and kind. Knowing that my cats were in good hands relieved me from the stress of leaving them. My boys quickly warmed up to her. I highly recommend Avital as a pet sitter.”
“Sarah was great with my two cats! Made sure they were well fed, had a clean litter box and fresh water, and gave them plenty of attention while I was away for the holidays. I felt much better about leaving them for the week knowing Sarah would be by to check on them.”
“I have too many adjectives to describe Colleen. She was extremely trustworthy, communicative, accommodating, caring, thoughtful, kind, responsible and prepared. I always stress when I go away and leave my girls but Colleen alleviated that feeling almost entirely. She even stayed longer than needed the first night. I am very happy with how my girls were treated and will definitely pick Colleen as my sitter next time.”
“Irem does a great job. This is the second time she has taken care of my cats. It’s nice to know that they are in good hands while I’m away and she always leaves things tidy.”
“Christina is amazing? She stopped by to meet the cats and you could tell she had genuine interest in taking great care of them. And she did. Each visit had details of their time and full of pictures. She made sure to split enough time between 2 time a day visits without it being too long…perfect! Our furry friends were in great hands.”
“Alex has been great with our little guy! She comes by midday to let him out, feed him, and play with him, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing he’s being so well taken care of. He’s always happy, and we highly recommend her!”
“Anytime we travel I make sure to book care for our cat with Andrew. He is flexible, always reliable and answers quickly to any questions we have. I love the pictures and updates he sends us to let us know what is going on. I look forward to continuing to book with him whenever we need it!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.
About: I love all kinds of animals and would love to help you out with your fur babies! I have experience with reactive/emotional pets and have dog sit for friends and family in the past. I also love staying active and would love to take your dog on a walk so they get their exercise too:) I have school 3 days a week and am free most afternoons/evenings to help out anyone who needs a drop in or walk for their fur baby:) I have pet sit for friends/family before and always make sure animals are fed, walked, and sleeping. I cannot take animals in my own home as my dog is pretty protective/reactive:)
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with my dog, Lucy, and two cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. For the past three years, I’ve also been a proud dog parent to my pup, Omelette! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own — whether that means a long walk, some playtime, keeping them company, or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I work during the day but have a flexible schedule outside of work, making me available for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and other pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and follow any specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every animal has their own personality. Whether your pet is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needs some patience, or would rather spend the evening curled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave your pet knowing they’re in good hands — and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! 🐶🐱 I work a full-time schedule, but I have plenty of flexibility outside of work to provide reliable pet care. I’m available for evening walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as overnight stays and more flexible care on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and company while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for them. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and boundaries. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love.
“Christine cared so well for my little girl and left my apartment very clean to come home to after a long trip. She was responsive, on time with her visits, and diligent with taking care of my cat. I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much for everything, Christine!”
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.
About: I have 5 pets of my own; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They are my world, truly. I have had pets most of my life, and have watched other peoples pets previously. Comfortable giving meds, feeding, playing, snuggling, etc. Certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross). Have assisted with dog rescues & fosters. No matter the age or what special care is needed, I am on board. I can be available after 6pm on weekdays, flexible on weekends. I do work full time, so this will be a side job for me. At home we have an electric fence for the dogs, and our cats are strictly indoors. At a client’s home, I will provide all the necessary and recommended care asked from the parents. I am very respectful and responsible. You wouldn’t even know I was there; respecting others’ property is important for me. Remain clean, professional, and respectful.
About: I've helped take care of friends and families pets throughout my life. While I have no pets of my own due to my living space, I can't wait to meet your fur babies and add them to my list of friends! Before transitioning to independent pet care, I spent years working as a Seafood Manager.

I bring that exact same level of professional detail, reliability, and cleanliness into your home. You can trust that your pet's medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and safety protocols will be followed precisely. Dedicated Time Blocks: I structure my schedule around dedicated morning to mid-day walking blocks (8 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. I am available for other times depending on the day as well. Punctuality First: As a former manager, I view schedules as strict commitments. Your pets will be fed, walked, and checked on at their exact scheduled times .Overnight Consistency: For house-sitting clients, I maintain a reliable presence in your home, aligning my routine with your pet’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Required Meet & Greets: I schedule a brief, mandatory introductory meeting before confirming any booking to ensure your timeline fits perfectly with my availability.

Behavior Awareness: I maintain high alertness on walks to avoid strange dogs, hazards, or triggers. For Your Cats: Visual Verification: I never leave a home without physically spotting your cat in their preferred zone to guarantee they are safe. Respectful Interaction: I let shy or independent cats set the pace, never forcing interaction or causing stress. Home & Trust Management: Manager-Level Cleanliness: I keep feeding stations pristine, wash food bowls daily, and strictly manage trash and litter box sanitation. Secure Lockups: I follow entry, alarm, and key management instructions flawlessly to protect your home. Real-Time Transparency: You will receive clear photo updates and a detailed status summary text during every single booking.
“I had a wonderful experience with Ligiane! Her thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills put me at ease while I was away. They kept me updated regularly and went the extra mile to ensure I felt comfortable as a first time with a cat sitter and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring animal sitter.”
“Kristen did an excellent job watching Moose and Bear! They were very well taken care of and super happy once we returned home. Kristen was very prompt about showing up on time every day which we really appreciated. Her initial meet and greet visit was super smooth and efficient. We will absolutely use Kristen again to watch our cats the next time we're away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kinnelon
We’ve had a fantastic experience Sarah! She is incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and takes great care of our dog. She’s always quick to respond and does a great job communicating about scheduling, updates, or any issues that come up. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands when we’re not home. We’re very happy we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Irem was amazing! We booked her pretty last minute, and she was so accommodating. Her communication was great the whole week, and I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent after/during every visit. I came home to two happy cats, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!
Colleen is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond while visiting the boys, taking the time to clean out their automatic feeder bowls and automatic litter box so everything stayed fresh. Best of all, she didn't just rush through the visit—she stayed extra long to snuggle and play with them. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring, attentive hands. I cannot recommend her enough!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 20,392 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kinnelon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kinnelon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kinnelon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
