About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.

“Rachel was absolutely phenomenal and the best Catsitter we have ever worked with. Of course she did the basics perfectly (litter, feedings, etc.) but she also took the time to play with our kitty and treated him like one of her own. She also took several pictures which gave me great peace of mind. Would 100% use her again!”

About: After moving from the UK and recently adopting a little pup from 10 weeks who’s now just under a year old, I’ve had lots of experience training, caring for and playing with energetic dogs! With dogs all throughout my childhood including my springer spaniel Meg, I will always look after your pup as if it were my own, tailoring the energy to exactly what they need. I’m available to walk your dog, have a play with them in your home or mine, or just drop in and feed them! I’m able to look after your pup on my days off from work so I can give them full care and attention! My husband also works from home regularly so will have lots of presence and get plenty of walks and plays in the area around you or our place. I am happy to look after your pup however you need for your home - playing in the yard, relaxing in the living room or just out on a walk, I can always be flexible!

About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.

About: I have lived with dogs for the majority for my life. While I may not have professional experience in pet care, I have taken care of/helped with many of family’s, neighbors, and friends dogs. I am currently a full-time college student, meaning my availability may be a bit on the shorter side. I can provide walks and check-ins, but cannot provide house sitting at the moment. If you are interested and have questions on availability/scheduling, please message me. I currently live with two cats, who I am not the primary caretaker but do step-in when needed and make sure they are safe and cared for. I will treat any client’s animal as if its my own, taking time to listen to their ways of communication in order to ensure the best care.

“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”

About: Hi, I'm Janise! Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to meet your pup and give them a home away from home. 😊 Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐶🥰 I'm a teacher's apprentice, so I work a school schedule. I'm home in the afternoons and off on holidays and school breaks. I live with my parents, husband and kids so your dog will rarely be alone. And of course there's my dog Frankie. She's kind, social, and always happy to make a new friend. I keep each dog on their normal routine for meals, walks, and any meds. Our backyard gives them room to run and play, with supervise outdoor time. New dogs meet Frankie slowly so everyone feels comfortable. We can also do a meet and greet first so I can learn your dog's habits and personality.

About: Though it's been some time, I gained hands-on experience caring for my grandmother’s Golden Retriever when I was younger (ages 6-12). I handled everything from feeding and playtime to washing and general care. This early experience taught me responsibility and a deep understanding of dogs' needs. My background in caregiving and fitness also adds to my ability to provide attentive, active care, ensuring every dog feels loved and well-cared-for. As a second-year Physical Therapy student at the University of Washington, I'm currently on break with no classes, giving me ample time to dedicate to pet care. This break allows me to be flexible and fully available to assist with your dog care needs, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they deserve! While I don't currently have a pet myself, my experience as a personal trainer and future Physical Therapist has taught me the importance of care, attention, and empathy. Just as I prioritize the well-being of my clients, I bring that same level of dedication to caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure that each dog receives personalized care, tailored to their unique needs, much like I do with my human clients.

She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

We had a successful meet and greet where Varsha introduced herself to Sundae and quickly built a rapport. Throughout the visits, Varsha kept me updated with frequent communication and sent me plenty of adorable pictures. As a first-time user of Rover, I am extremely grateful for Varsha’s professionalism and dedication, which made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Five stars!”

About: I love playing with my dog and always make sure he is feed, walked, and is having fun. I have also been around a few different animals and always try to taylor how I treat them towards them. At 8:30am and 6:00pm my dog gets a walk and I let out my dog whenever he stands by my back door into my fenced in yards where he is free do do as he pleases (there is nothing dangerous back there). I walk him around 30 min after his meals so he get a good bowel movement in. I would alway try to leave everything as it is and only to touch what I am instructed too. The would be taken the upmost care of.

They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️”

  • 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 Little Ferry 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.

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.

To find sitters in Little Ferry with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little Ferry. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
