About: Pups have been a huge part of my life ever since I was a child. Besides taking care of my own dogs throughout my life, I’ve also been a reliable contact for any friends, family and/or local households who need anything pet related- anything from a quick potty break to a extended overnight care! I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both pets and their owners🐾 I am a teacher who is currently off for the summer. This makes my days very flexible for owners who need any last minute help or need more frequent visits for their pup! When caring for pets, I make sure to follow their establish routines, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and ensure they always have access to fresh water and a safe environment. I carefully monitor pets during walks and playtime, respect any special instructions provided by owners, and maintain open communication with regular updates for owners who may want a little extra peace of mind!
About: Hello! My name is Madeline and I am 29 years old. I live in a luxury building in Hackensack, NJ. This building is complete with a fenced-in play area for dogs, as well as multiple paths for walking! I live alone with my 5 year old mini golden doodle Miley. Miley gets along with all dogs of all sizes, and she loves to play, so she’s a great companion for your furry friend :) I’ve raised and trained Miley since she was a puppy, and before that, I helped raise 3 different family dogs of all ages. I work from home sometimes, and am always doing something with my dog when not at work! I am happy to entertain your dog at my home, or to take them for a drive to a dog park or local trail. I love all dogs and have always grown up around them, and will be sure to send many pictures updating you on our activities! I currently work full-time, so I am available for weekday evenings as well as weekends to watch your doggos and cats! If you have date nights or weekend getaway trips, I am available to come over to dog, cat, or house sit! If you need something during the day starting at 3:30, I can make that work too. I give my girl Miley a lot of attention. She has a lot of energy, so we love to play after work and on the weekends. Miley loves to go for long walks outside at the park, and also the dog park where she can play fetch off the leash and socialize with other dogs. Miley likes to grab whatever is on the ground and eat it, so I make sure to keep a very clean environment as well as always pay attention to what my dog is doing. Miley also loves the snow, so I always make sure to clean/wash her feet when we come inside. As much as I love paw prints, I hope to keep them off my floor and furniture, and I will do the same for you! I will be sure to always be paying attention to your dog, as well as send lots of fun and cute updates as to what we are doing! :)

“Monica had been the best dog help we could dream of. our Charli loves her so much.

We are booking her again june to november while im away for travel work… we love you Monica”
About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.
About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

“Elizabeth is a gem. I had to go away for a week and wanted a house sitter who would be able to handle my fragile, high maintenance 16-year-old Golden. I really didn't think it would be possible to find anybody up to the task but I came home to find a thriving dog. Elizabeth really knows her stuff and her love for animals is obviously deep and genuine. She's also very pleasant around people!”
About: I’ve had many dogs in the past and have plenty of experience caring for them. I make sure they get regular walks, lots of playtime, and plenty of attention.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, doggie walker, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
“Joannie is a kind and nurturing. She was respectful of my shy guys comfort zone and took good care of my little dog. Joannie did drop in visits for my older timid Yorkie and worked hard to try to win him over. Would recommend her and plan to use again in future.”
About: My journey began with a genuine love for animals and a childhood dream to be a vet—every pet I care for receives that same dedication and heart. I’m a full-time student with free time outside of class, so I’m happy to care for and check in on your furry babies whenever I’m available . Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I try and create a calm, loving environment where your furry friend can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. When caring for them in your home, I follow routines closely, make sure they’re comfortable, and keep everything just as you like it. You can trust me to keep you updated every step of the way!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mahwah stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Mahwah 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Mahwah with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
