“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.”
“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.”
About: I’m 25 years old and live with my parents and sister in a home where someone is almost always around throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a Shih Tzu and a German Shepherd, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Having dogs has taught me how to care for different personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I’d love to give your dog a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! Pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures throughout their stay!
About: I'm a super animal lover and excited to provide your furry loved ones with a fun, safe, attentive home away from home! Whether you’re looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, I'm here for your pets' needs. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, and exotics such as rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. There's nothing I love more than hanging out with animals, so I'll be sure to spend plenty of quality time with your pets, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing your furry best friends are in loving, reliable hands while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid 8-4:30 schedule, where I am in the office 2 days a week. My partner and I are available throughout the week and fully open on weekends for walking, boarding, and drop-ins. I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly, goofy 4-year-old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.
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.
“I am so grateful for the wonderful care that Natalie gave my dog. This was the first time leaving my dog in someone else’s care and I am so happy that I found Natalie. She checked in on him and made sure he got a good walk and plenty of attention. Natalie was reliable, caring, and was excellent in communication with me. I especially enjoyed her updates and am so grateful for the peace of mind. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend Natalie!”
“This is our second time using Donna’s drop-in cat sitting services for our two fur babies. Donna was informative, reliable, kind, and very patient. Will absolutely use her again for all of our future sitter needs. Thank you, Donna!”
About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several neighbors in various cities and can provide references from some awesome families. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.
About: [PSA: Aug. Sept. Oct. - limited 'high energy' bookings. Sprain Recovery] Hello! I have years of pet care experience under my belt. Throughout my childhood I was able to grow my love and knowledge of many animals. I had cats dogs and small mammals like hamsters and bunnies growing up I got to help care for and learn about. During my teen years I helped family friends and neighbors with their pets including cats, dogs and even goats and chickens. With a solid foundation in feeding, walking, grooming, medicating, and playing with animals, I look forward to meeting and helping out many more pets throughout my twenties and beyond. [Daytime sits: ends before 9pm] [Night sits: flexibility for me to tend to my critters and other local recurring bookings.] Currently looking to go back to school, growing my expertise as a pet walker and sitter, and taking care of my own pets. I’ll have the free time and consistent schedule to check in and provide care for local pets as well. Safety trust and environment are a must when it comes to pet care. Environmentally I have my eyes peeled for hazards that could harm or cause illness in an animal, and remove those things to where they can’t be a problem. In building trust, I start every interaction with pet psychology in mind. I let them approach me with all of their senses first. Once they become interested in getting to know me, I can continue to show them I’m a safe person through gentle and secure actions on my part like walking carefully and taking softly.
“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”

For my 30-minute drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care based on your pet’s individual needs.

About: Dogs aren't just pets to me - they're family. From bouncy puppies who can't contain their excitement to wise old souls who prefer gentle strolls. My journey started with my first pup years ago, and now I'm the go-to walker in my neighborhood. Whether your furry friend needs a quick midday energy burst or a leisurely afternoon adventure, I'm your person. I’m juggling a part-time job while finishing up my degree, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m usually free on the weekends and would absolutely love to spend some time helping out with your dogs! I do have a fenced in yard, but I prefer for the dogs to stay in there own home! Dogs tend to feel more safe when they are familiar with there surroundings.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for nearly 19 years, and I absolutely love being around them! 🐾 I’ve raised 3 dogs - 2 from puppyhood to adulthood. Over the years I’ve had plenty of experience caring for friends’ dogs and cats, from playtime and walks to keeping them company and sticking to their usual routines. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved and safe when their people are away. Because I’ve had dogs for most of my life, I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and ages. I’m patient, attentive, responsible and happy to give your pet the extra love and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member(s) and make sure they have a happy, fun and comfortable time while you’re away! I currently have a full-time office job in West Caldwell, NJ. I work until 5pm during the week, and typically available by 5:30pm during the week. Weekends are fairly open for lots of playtime with your furry family! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I know that pets feel most comfortable when they can stick to their normal routines, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime and anything else their pet needs. I love giving pets plenty of attention, whether that means going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch or simply keeping them company. I’m also very attentive to their individual personalities and will give them space if they’re shy or need extra time the arm up. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their home and make sure to leave everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident to at they’re in good hands while they’re apart.
About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.
“Erin had great communication throughout the whole process. Our meet & greet was seamless and the whole visit went great with our dog! Highly recommend. We will be booking Erin for future needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs since I was about 13 years old. My family has 2 rescues and I have grew up with dogs my whole life. I want to extend my services for my love for dogs to other families in search of a sitter! I am a grad student home for the summer looking for something flexible! I have an open schedule for dog walking and like to be outdoors. My allowing the dog/pet to open up to you first! Don’t be over bearing to them, let them come to me first! Additionally, asking the owners in advance of anything that should be noted, to keep the dog in the same routine!
About: I've owned dogs, big and small, since I was 8 years old and can't imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. While my 4 year old mini bernedoodle, Winnie, currently receives all my love and care, I'm itching to share that same level of attention with other pups far and wide! (NOTE: Winnie does not accompany me on house sitting bookings unless explicitly requested by the owner, as she prefers to hang home with her other pet-parent) I am extremely detail oriented, responsible, and have a flexible work from home schedule so I'm happy to drop by/sit just about anytime. I've handled dogs of all temperaments and am able to tailor my care to make them feel most at ease. I am personally a very active person and have no problem providing ample exercise for the dogs I look after, but I am equally as excited to lounge around with those who prefer belly rubs over running :) Pet parents will be sure to receive a minimum of 2x daily updates as well as plenty of sweet photos of their fur-baby when in my care. I work from home and have flexible hours, therefore I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I love going for long walks as exercise, so being able to bring along a furry friend is always a bonus :) I am an extremely vigilant caretaker and treat every pup I care for like they are my own. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kinnelon is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $29 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 20,326 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% 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.
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.
