“Michael was perfect for our needs! Our pup was recovering from being sick and we had to be gone for 5-6 hours. Normally he’s fine for that long but we wanted peace of mind and to give him a little company half way through. He’s great and our boy loved him!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.

She is very kind and you can tell she loves animals, she treated my babies as her own and went above and beyond!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is.”

About: I loveee animals. I grew up with many pets from cute little bunnies, turtles, lizards, birds, dogs and everything in between. I’m very caring which will show in everything I do. Your babies will be my babies, I promise :) I currently work full-time as an elementary teacher. I’m available for boarding your babes on weekends, and weekdays after 4pm. Sometimes I’m off on holidays and I would board then as well. We will always have a great time. Your babe will be free to roam my apartment under my supervision, of course. I also have a large yard, but will keep him on a leash. I can also crate him or her if you prefer. Either way, we will have tons of fun together.

About: With years of caring for pets belonging to family and friends, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal needs and behavior. Ever since welcoming our family dog five years ago, I’ve become especially skilled at working with puppies with care and consistency. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! I am currently a college student so I have some extra time to spend with your pets! My schedule allows me to accommodate last minute bookings. Everyone has a different way for caring for their pet. I will be sure to treat your animal with kindness and love like I treat my own but also enforce the same “rules” you may have for your pet.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats throughout my entire life whether it was for working families, friends and neighbors in NJ! For a few years, I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter where I’d help bathe kittens, take their dogs outside and play with our furry friends seeking homes. Being around younger or older pets for years has allowed me to pick up signs and stay calm if accidents happen, whether your pet missed the litter box or regurgitated their meal. I’m always glad to help out where and when I can! I mostly work from home where I have a bit more control over my schedule. Early mornings or late evenings are always flexible! If I receive enough notice, I’m glad to accommodate your pets needs throughout the day on any weekday or weekends as well! I have prior experience being with a wide range of larger outdoor pets and smaller indoor pets who are cage trained or not. I’m glad to keep them company, spend time with their favorite toys and make sure they’re cleaned up after! From previous experience, I have a keen eye on a pets body language and can get a sense if some may need more space than others. However, I’ll always be accommodating if some pets need to let their energy out more than others! Similar to my own cat, on a daily basis, I make sure to set aside 30 minutes of play time with them in the day time and the evening to lessen the “zoomies”!

She went above and beyond making sure to play with them each day too. Cassie is reliable and very friendly to coordinate with. We feel lucky to have found such a great pet sitter for future trips as well.”

About: Pets have always been part of my life. I've had dogs, cats, goldfish, betta fish, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. Currently in my care are the adorable bunny brother-and-sister duo I call the Wonder Twins, a senior Staffie mix who doesn’t like going down the shore so we’re weekend buddies, and Sassafrass, the “fraidy" cat. Each of these animals has its own rhythm and needs, and I've learned to pay close attention to what makes each one comfortable, whether that's a quiet room, a clean habitat, or a gentle, familiar routine. Since I'm retired, my days have a lot of natural flexibility built in. I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, not just squeezed-in slots around a nine-to-five. Pet care isn't something I fit around my life. It's become one of the things I structure my life around, alongside my own dog, Mojo. All of my care happens in your home, not mine. I come to you for dog walks and feeding visits, so your pet stays in their own familiar space with their own food, bed, and routine. For dogs, that means a walk at their pace around your neighborhood. For cats and smaller pets, it means fresh food and water, litter box or habitat cleaning, and some quiet one-on-one attention. At this time, I don't board pets in my own home. Keeping care in your space is part of what keeps things low-stress for your pet and simple for you.

Nicole even went back to my house one day because I got an alert from the litter robot that something was wrong. She’s very prompt in her responses and updates, which makes it easier for me to leave knowing my cat will be well taken care of 😻”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

Kyra is the BEST! Helped me out with a last minute request for a walk and hangout session with my new rescue pup. Kyra is so kind, warm, welcoming, and loving. My pup Rosie loved her the second they met, and the rest is history. Kyra was so communicative and kept me posted on how she was doing, which was very important to me as a new dog dad. Thank you Kyra for taking such good care of both of us!

Hi Michael! Sorry for the late response - after the 2am time back from VEG Saturday morning then the move-in on Sunday, I’m tired!! Thanks again for helping out and for the update. Moose (with his medicine) slept through the night without a coughing fit last night so he seems to be recovering. Now we just have a high energy dog who can’t go to day care at all this week! 😂 I hope you have a great week! Also, we’re seeing A Few Good Men at Lincoln Center on Sunday November 8, so we’ll request a drop-in if you’re around!

We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Little Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little Falls is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 27,080 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little Falls. 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 .

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 , 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 Little Falls. On Rover:

  • 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
