About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime, to senior dogs who need extra patience, medication, and gentle care—I’ve done it all. I’ve built my own dog sitting and walking business over the years, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving lots of cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. ✨ Experience includes: • Dog walking & drop-ins (30–60 mins) • Overnight stays in your home • Administering medication • Caring for puppies & senior dogs • Feeding, playtime, and lots of love I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority 💛 Let’s set up a meet & greet—I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I work remotely every other week, which means more time at home for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and extra attention 💛 Even on my in-office weeks, I stay consistent and reliable—your pet’s routine always comes first! I have always loved animals ever since I could remember, especially dogs. Whenever I care for other dogs, its always a pleasure. I have fenced yard and I am located near a close dog park to make sure your fur babies are staying active. I also have a dog myself that can keep your dogs company.
“Taylor provided incredible service to our sick kitty. He is normally very shy and hides when strangers are around. He came out for Taylor which is a miracle. Taylor kept in touch with us and made us feel very comfortable being away.”
“Spencer was great! My cat warmed up to him quickly! He fed and played with her like how I asked. He communicated well and promptly. I asked him to drop off my packages and mail while I was away. He also agreed to do a neccessary last-minute task of picking up recyclables that had spilled out on at the front. Very helpful too!”
About: I have my own dog and have been caring for her since she was eight weeks old. She is now eight years old. So I know the ins and outs of dogs. They all have different personalities, routines, temperaments, you name it. I've watched other people's dogs, and the dogs love me because of my calm demeanor. I deliver the greatest quality of care! I am currently working full-time during the week, but I am available in the afternoons and on weekends to watch your pup. Please let me know! I go by my clients' needs for their dogs; if they need to be fed, walked, or even if they want me to spend a couple of hours with them, I will!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linden
Let me just start by saying Hannah saved the day! She was quick responding to my same day request for drop in visit, and easy to communicate with at all times. She sent photos, gave updates and truly let me feel like I picked the right sitter. I will definitely be booking my future visits with her!
Jada was amazing. She was super communicative and great with our cats, even when they had some hairballs and litter box challenges. We were so impressed when she told us our cats came out for pets because they’re so people shy! They really warmed up to her. It was so relaxing to go on vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.
Alison was amazing with my puppy! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to all of his needs. She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Alison and will absolutely book with her again!
Ellen was wonderful caring for my ten-year-old cat Taffy through drop-in visits while I was away. Taffy is ordinarily fearful of strangers, but took a liking to Ellen immediately. Ellen is also a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using her again in my future times away from home.
I’ve had a great experience with Taylor as my pet sitter! She is reliable and always takes great care of my cats. She sends plenty of updates and pictures, which gives me peace of mind while I’m away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Linden is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 27,127 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Linden. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Linden. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
