Avital was amazing with a last minute booking to watch our fur babies while we welcomed our new baby to the world! She worked around new grandparents and some equipment shortages with grace and were happy to have her pet sit again.

I know my cat enjoyed Sarah's company because now she wants to play right after eating! Sarah was very conscientious and provided great feedback and photos. Would definitely book with Sarah again.

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.

Andrew was fantastic I am so glad we booked him to take care of Buggy! From the initial interaction and meeting Buggy was comfortable with him which made me feel so much better about knowing he would be taken care of well. Andrew gave us great updates about how he was doing each visit and made sure to include lots of pictures! We will definitely be using Andrew again when we need to be away in the future!

Allie did an outstanding job taking care of our Cali. Cali is a tough little girl and gets a bit of "separation anxiety". Allie handled it well and did a great job of making Cali feel comforatble and keeping us informed along the way. Would highly recommend her!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I understand that pets are much more than animals—they’re family. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, plenty of cuddles, fresh food and water, or all of the above, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. I currently work full time on a hybrid schedule (Mon- Fri, 9am to 5pm), but have the availability during lunch, after work, and during the weekends to help care for your pet(s). I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, crate routines, or any special preferences. I believe communication is important, so I’ll provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re gone. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own pets.

I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring animal sitter.

About: Hello friends, furry and small, hairless or tall! My name is Anthony, and I have been in love with animals of all kinds since childhood. I would always be the family member to watch others' households and pets while they were away. As of recently I've maintained a household of my two dogs, Eve (Lab-Pit Mix; 36lbs.) & Wall-E (Lab-Border Collie Mix, 55lbs.), and my two cats, Salem (Short Hair; 9lbs.) & Loki (Short Hair; 16lbs.), and I have successfully fostered several other animals. I have experience in caring for all dogs of all kinds, conditions and sizes, and the same for cats! I tend to care for animals as best they should be, focusing on their mental, emotional and of course their physical health with diet, snacks, exercise, grooming and any other special need! I am often willing to share my thoughts, concerns or suggestions making sure you understand everything I am offering you and your pets and what ever other ways I can help. I am CPR certified for both pets & humans, and I have some veterinary assistance experience. I have a flexible schedule currently as I am not working a full time job, I can't wait to meet you & your pets! I'm currently working part time and I have a very flexible schedule I can move things around if need be to accommodate almost any need! I have years of experience going into the home while following any previous instructions if necessary. I can also feed, exercise, play or just sit with your pet or however to best suit yours & your pets' needs!

Chelsea took great care of our pet while we were away on vacation. She was communicative the entire time and transparent about everything. She provided photos of our pet with each visit. Chelsea was punctual on all her visits with our pet and never late. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of a dog walker.

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.

My dog was recently diagnosed with vertigo which made her general care a bit more difficult. Joe showed up like the amazing guy he is and took SUCH good care of her! He followed my instructions to a “T,” asked clarifying questions, and gave me constant updates on how she was doing. You could tell that he became invested in her journey to recovery too!

Sarah was excellent! She sent multiple pictures every day not only of my cats but also feeding station shots, etc to give me a high level of comfort. My two cats clearly loved her based on the pictures and even my very shy cat started greeting her at the door. I found Sarah to be highly responsible, easy to work with and a real pet lover! I would definitely use Sarah again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Kinnelon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 19,741 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.
