“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Jinghong was absolutely amazing and took great care of my kitty! I came back to a very clean apartment and a very happy cat. I couldn’t be happier with her service!”
“Christine was great. She paid attention to detail and took care of my guy while I was gone. Very thankful to have had here there watching my pup. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up in a neighborhood that had many dogs, and I would always go over to my neighbors’ houses to play with and take care of their fur babies. I currently have a happy 4 year old schnoodle who goes on walks every day and loves to play fetch. Account is run by Jennie! We are available for day and/or night boarding. I work from home three times a week (schedule is flexible, and my mom stays home on the weekends, so your fur baby will receive around the clock care. 😊 We can take the dog on multiple walks a day and we have a 13 pound friendly and happy Schnoodle to keep your dog entertained

About: I have been caring for dogs since 2020, with experience providing dog sitting, overnight care, and boarding for friends, family, neighbors, and Rover clients. I have cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy spending time outdoors, making plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality time with pets. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and needs! I treat every pet like my own! I carefully follow their routine and any instructions from their owner while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I've learned that great pet care goes beyond feeding and walking. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand that they sometimes need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on their mobility, following medication schedules, or simply providing a comfortable place to rest, I make sure their individual needs are never overlooked. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like family. You can expect plenty of affection, companionship, playtime, and attention to their usual routines. I also love keeping pet parents involved, so expect regular photos, updates, and little glimpses of your pet's day. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving them with me as they do staying with me! I do my best to keep my schedule flexible around the pets in my care. I believe pets feel most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines, so I prioritize their regular feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and rest. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay, while also respecting their need for quiet time and space. My goal is to make their time away from home feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, even when their family is away. Before each stay, I take the time to learn about your pet's personality, daily routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when caring for senior pets who may need additional supervision or a gentler approach. I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys lounging around, I'll respect their individual needs and let them settle in at their own pace. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's comfort. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Aliyah’s absolutely hands down the best person to contact if you need care for your pet if you are near the Hackensack area. I have tried a few dog walkers and after seeing how well she cares for my pet I ALWAYS choose her now!”
“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. 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!!”
“Rivera did a great job taking care of our cat and checking in on our place while we were away. She was excellent at communicating with us when we set up an initial meeting and then scheduled the visits. Every day while we were gone she sent us a detailed update on how our cat was doing and shared photos. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip more knowing that we could trust Rivera to take care of things.”
About: I was a proud dog mom for over 20 years. While my beloved pups have since crossed the rainbow bridge, my love for dogs has never faded. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and care. I would love the opportunity to treat your furry family member as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to each day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries. I believe patience and consistency are important in building trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether that means playtime, belly rubs (if they’re willing!), companionship, or long walks when weather and the pet’s needs allow, I will provide attentive care and treat them as if they were my own.
“Cannot say enough how amazing and helpful Rachel is and how happy I am with how she took care of my kittens and home. Will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!”
“Larry took care of our cat while we are away for a vacation and we’re extremely happy with his care and visits! He isincredibly professional, kept all of his words and very communicative. Our cat enjoyed his time together with Larry. We will definitely rebook his service in the future.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was a little girl. Mostly dogs and cats in my adult years. I haven’t gotten a new dog since I had to say goodbye to my last furry friend. Now I want to have part time pets to love I’m a photographer and a design coordinator who works outside my home a few weeks a year and spends most time home editing photos, or playing with my two grandsons. I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!
About: I love dogs and understand that yours is part of your family. I have owned dogs for over 18 years (male german shepherd mix and female pitbull) and I know what makes them tick! I have experience walking fussy/reactive, even aggressive dogs, both big and small. I just can’t live without them. With reasonable notice, I am available pretty much all day long for dog walks and sits. I can always easily adjust my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to last minute arrangements. No issues moving dates around if my calendar is open. I have a fenced in yard and the house is plenty spacious. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Ferry
Diana is amazing and provided a wonderful experience. She followed my instructions, communicated clearly throughout the visits, and took excellent care of my cat, which I could tell through the daily photos where I could see him warming up to her. She also went above and beyond by cleaning his wet food plates and cleaning up after he had gotten sick. I’m genuinely thankful for her thoughtfulness and level of care. I absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again the next time I need someone to check on my cat!
Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. 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!!
Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little Ferry is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $36 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 27,746 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little Ferry. 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 Little Ferry. 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 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.
