“Clifmon was so nice and had the best vibes for my cat! He was on time and made sure my cat had food, water and all things necessary.. including pets and playtime! Thank you again!”

About: Hi! I have been an animal lover my entire life and I love the fact that I can spend my days doing what I love; providing exercise, love, and care for animals! I believe that taking care of animals involves more than a simple check-in or walk. I am always looking for ways to mentally stimulate your pet, provide daily exercise, basic training and giving lots of belly rubs. Honestly, It’s about taking the time to connect with and bond with the pets I have been entrusted to care for. *Sits with me include regular daily updates, regular walks, cuddles, fresh water refill, food and treats (as instructed). On days when the weather is less than ideal (extreme heat, cold or severe rain), we will go out to take care of business and spend the rest of the time indoors playing fetch and cuddling on the couch. **I am committed to providing you with a full-service customer experience** **Your pet's health and well being are my top priority, prior to providing care, I require a meet & greet where we will discuss your pet's needs to customize a plan suitable for your pet. **I take my job as a pet care provider serious and am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge of the Pet Care industry to offer the best care to all my clients (furry and human). Please contact me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet! Have a pawsome day! Betsy
About: Hi Im CeeCee (30). Leaving your baby, is already anxiety inducing, and frustrating as it is. And finding a trusted sitter just adds more to the mental load. With that being said, I make it my business to provide the most reassurance to You and your baby that there will be nothing but love and cuddles while you’re away. I have worked with animals since 2015 getting my start at Camp Bow Wow in Elmwood park and have worked at many prestigious hospitals in multiple states since. I love animals whether it’s cats/dogs or birds and reptiles. They are all so amazing to me. Grooming and distributing medication can be done at your request. I dont mind large dogs at all. Puppies are also welcome. I love to exercise, so your pup and I shall be doing some running around outside. Photography is my side hobby so please be prepared to be flooded with lots of pictures. All pups will go on 3-4 walks a day. More walk can be requested. Am walks: 6-7 am Afternoon walks: 12pm-1pm Pm walks:6pm-7pm Late late walks: 11pm-12am I treat all fur babies how I’d want my own to be treated. In case of emergency I live very close to multiple animal hospitals.
“Scarlett is wonderful! We will continue to trust her with our boy as long as she continues to dog sit! She is reliable, attentive & our dog absolutely loves her. She has also helped us when we’ve needed help at the last minute and we are so appreciative!”

“Meredith was such a pleasure to have to come and take care of our pets. From the first day she came to meet them, she was calm, kind, careful, professional, and cared so much about what she does and our animals. She asked many important questions, showing her own interest to provide the best possible care. Her communication was wonderful before and during her arrival and her detailed accounts made me laugh and put me at ease. Shes an amazing sitter and I hope everyone has the chance to work with her. I will be working with her again whenever the need arises. A++++”

About: I have been around animals for my entire life. My family always had a dog and a cat. At a young age, I began walking our dog and was the main person in my household to play with our cat. As I grew up, my love for animals grew and I started caring for other small animals like hermit crabs, fish, and hamsters as well. I have enjoyed spending time with these animals and caring for them. Over this time I have learned to be patient and let these animals show me who they are. Whether your pet is high energy and needs frequent walks/play or would prefer to lounge around and take in some always welcomed affection, I am more than happy to indulge them.
“Rhinesca was wonderful! I booked her for drop-in visits with my dog, Stella, and she was always on time, loving, and attentive. She kept me informed throughout each visit and sent me plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Stella absolutely loved her! I would highly recommend Rhinesca and would definitely book her again.”

“When my roommate unexpectedly moved days before a monthlong trip, I engaged Fatima to watch my stranger-wary kitty. She did a great job, eventually winning over my cat. When I had a work trip soon after this, I immediately hired Fatima again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.
About: I work shift based hours, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to accommodate visits at varying times of day, including mornings, evenings, and weekends depending on your cat’s needs. I am reliable and communicative, and I always plan ahead to ensure I can stick to your cat’s routine, whether that is regular feeding times, medication schedules, or check ins while you are away. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, so I am very respectful of their space, routines, and boundaries. I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding, litter maintenance, and any medical or dietary requirements. I have experience caring for senior cats and those needing extra attention, and I am confident administering basic care as needed. I take a calm, gentle approach and let cats warm up at their own pace, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for while you are away.
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”

About: Hi! I'm a local dog lover in Bergen County, NJ, and I know that dogs are much more than pets — they're family. As a reactive dog owner myself, I've learned firsthand how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when building trust with a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and triggers. Whether your pup is outgoing and playful or needs a little extra space and time to feel comfortable around others, I believe in respecting their boundaries and helping them feel safe. I want you to feel confident that your dog is in caring, responsible hands. Whether it's a neighborhood walk or a drop-in visit while you're away, I'll treat your dog with kindness and respect, follow your instructions, and do my best to make every visit a positive experience. I'm happy to learn about your dog's routine, what makes them comfortable, and anything I should know to help them feel at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule on weekdays and weekends, allowing me to arrange dog walks and drop-in visits around your dog's needs. I'm happy to discuss recurring visits or occasional bookings and work with you to establish a routine that suits your schedule and your pet. Your dog's safety, comfort, and trust are my priorities. Before a booking, I'll ask about your dog's temperament, walking habits, triggers, and daily routine so I can provide care that suits their needs. For dogs who are nervous or reactive, I understand the importance of patience, personal space, and avoiding unnecessary close encounters with other dogs. During walks, I'll stay alert to our surroundings, use the agreed-upon leash or harness, and choose a comfortable route based on your dog's needs. During drop-in visits, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I'll also make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. If I notice anything unusual or have a concern, I'll contact you promptly. I want every owner to feel comfortable trusting me with their dog, and I'll do my best to make each visit safe, calm, and positive.
About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—it’s second nature to me. Growing up around pets and now being a proud dog mom to my lovable pup Otis for the past 6 years, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your furry family members. I currently offer overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—whether that means sticking to a specific routine, giving extra snuggles, or just being a calm, reassuring presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for drop-ins and overnight stays. Whether you need an early morning visit, mid-day check-in, or evening care, I can adjust to what works best for you and your pet. Just send me a message—I’m happy to work around your routine! I care for pets the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, so I do my best to follow what makes them most comfortable. When it comes to walks, I don’t go by a strict schedule—I walk them as many times as they need, whether that’s short potty breaks, longer adventures, or just some time outside to sniff around and enjoy the day. Their comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first.
About: I have over ten years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve helped with walking, feeding, bathing, medications, and reinforcing basic training routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day and week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, maintain a clean environment, supervise interactions closely, and ensure pets feel secure, calm, and well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leonia
Vanessa has watched Frankie, our 3-month old mini-Aussie with boatloads of energy, twice now, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Frankie loves getting to play and run around with Vanessa, and has even learned new tricks! We really appreciate Vanessa's time and patience and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caring petsitter!

Leta has been watching my dog since she was a puppy, and I can’t recommend her enough! She has always been amazing with her, from handling all of her puppy energy to caring for her as she’s gotten older. Leta is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, whether she’s taking her for walks while I’m at work or staying with her for an extended period. Most recently, she watched my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone I trust. She sent me such great updates through out the trip. My dog loves her, and I always know she’s in great hands with Leta!

Helen was an amazing dog sitter! She watched our Siberian Husky, Esko, for five days and took such great care of her. She came beforehand to meet Esko, communicated with us throughout our trip, and sent pictures every day. We felt completely comfortable knowing Esko was in great hands. We will definitely use Helen again and highly recommend her!

Sam is the best! My two boys are getting to be in their senior years and are very different. Jimmy is on the bigger side around 40 pounds and rambunctious and Dwight is on the smaller side around 25 pounds and pretty lazy. Sam interacted and loved both boys and was so lovely and attentive on his visits to feed them while we were away on vacation. We are so glad to have found Sam 😌

Luz is an amazing pet sitter. She is very sweet with our French Bulldog and British Short Hair. She is extremely professional, courteous, and clean! She communicates professionally as well. We have booked with Luz multiple times and will definitely book with her again in the future. I can’t recommend her enough.

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.

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 Leonia 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.

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.
