About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs starting since high school and through college. I have watched several dogs over weekend periods and which included walking, giving medication, feeding and providing proper attention I am currently working part-time from home so have lots of availability and time to look after any pets. Can be flexible with taking them out at certain times/hours and manage time based medications I currently have one dog at my home with me who likes to play with others. We are a short walk from a local dog park and in a quiet neighborhood that allows calm walks and ability to be outside
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I currently work at a doggy daycare and I spend 90% of my time with dogs and I’ve worked with every type of dog and dealt with all different personalities. I'm currently attending school but I am available to take care of your pups usually after 2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday and Wednesday I usually leave around 3 pm and I am free all weekend at any time. I can create a comfortable and safe environment for your dogs. For example being alert for any dangers outside especially with reactive dogs. I have been trained to understand and read body language whether we are in the home , outside or interacting with other dogs.
About: My name is Nasima, and I genuinely love caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always tailor my care around what makes them feel safest, happiest, and most comfortable. I live in Teaneck, just minutes away from Overpeck County Park, with plenty of other nearby parks, shaded walking areas, and space for safe, enjoyable walks. Whether your pet loves long adventures, relaxed strolls, playtime, or simply extra attention and companionship, I tailor their care around what makes them happiest. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I have Tuesday through Friday most weeks free, weekends sometimes too, while I’m studying throughout the week. I’m pretty active so I love going outside frequently for walks, getting fresh air and enjoying nature. I am very organized, clean and mindful. I’ll respect your home and space and do my best to leave it better than I found it.
“Layla is absolutely great! My cat Magnus adores her and she always sends updates and cute pics of Magnus when I am away which always make my day! I would recommend her as a reliable, trustworthy and deeply caring cat sitter.”
About: I have been watching dogs for 7 years now and have a special spot for elderly dogs, and dog that are anxious. But I have experience with a wide range of ages and breads. I have experience with dogs with anxiety as well as giving oral medication to dogs and have many repeat owners coming to me. They all feel loved and special at my home. Which is why I only watch one dog at a time to give my full attention to them as well as it helps most anxious types to be alone. I also love giving dogs a bath if the owner is ok with it AND the dogs are ok with it 🙂 I have a somewhat flexible schedule for my job. I walk the dogs in the morning and leave around 9am and am usually back 3pm (Monday-Wednesday). When I come home in the afternoon I give the dog another walk as well as their evening walk. I am pretty flexible and am present most times and I am very free from Thursdays through the weekend. This depends on the personality of the dog. If the dog loves being pet, they can hang with me on my couch where they are pet. If they love playing I throw the ball around with them. I am attentive to their food and drink and talk to them 😂 and let them know how cute they are. Every dog is different in what they like and need for their care. So that is something that is discussed before hand with the client.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently have a senior small dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets need at all life stages. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and helping them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I recently graduated with my master’s degree and currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship for your pets. I work hard to provide your pets with comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always provide a calm, caring, and attentive environment.
About: Howdy! My Name is Pierre! I am about to be a graduate student at the University of Hartford! I came home from the summer to find out that my dog for the last 6 years had moved out of my childhood home and in with my brother (HEARTBREAKING 💔) I joined Rover so I could care for my lovely four-legged friends, without the commitment of having to keep one before having to travel back to college again! My family for all 23 years of my life has had at least a dog and a cat (RIP Tiger). And we currently shelter baby kittens until they are old enough to get adopted! I have a passion for Animals and miss having my buddies around so I believe Rover would be a perfect fit! Currently I am not employed and only leave my house for 3 hours a day to workout out! (I am a college basketball player!) My girlfriend Min, however, is a stay at home type so your companion will NEVER be without supervision! I have sheltered kittens for years so I know the responsibility of being super vigilant over pets cause things can (and will) get crazy sometimes! I have a completely fenced in back yard! I also will take videos and FaceTime calls at the owners request so they can always check in on their companion I work from home as a video editor so I am always available to take on new pets and care for them whenever the need arises! I have a fenced yard, as well as a nice spacious living room pets can play and live in, and a restless dog is a destructive one 😂 so we make sure to take them on walks and exercise to get them nice and tired.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
About: I had a cat for 6 years and plenty of experience handling and taking care of dogs - I volunteered in an animal shelter with dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for 4 years. I am 5’7” and relatively strong so I am also able to handle larger dogs and some pulling. I have 3 years of experience as an EMT, so in case of an unexpected accident I am able to provide emergency first aid if necessary (helping a pet often involves the same basics as helping a person!) I have a lot of availability at the moment. Weekdays and weekends are nearly always free, especially for walking and check-ins. I love to be outside and walk/run, especially with dogs. I don't have any pets living with me right now, so I will be free to focus on yours. I am active and love taking dogs for a walk or run anywhere and for however long they need.
About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.
“Alex did a fantastic job checking in on our cat during our vacation. He bonded with her right away and sent us great photos on a regular basis. If you need someone to take of your cat, look no further than Alex.”
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.
About: Hi Im CeeCee (30). Leaving your baby, is already anxiety inducing, and frustrating as it is. And finding a trusted sitter just adds more to the mental load. With that being said, I make it my business to provide the most reassurance to You and your baby that there will be nothing but love and cuddles while you’re away. I have worked with animals since 2015 getting my start at Camp Bow Wow in Elmwood park and have worked at many prestigious hospitals in multiple states since. I love animals whether it’s cats/dogs or birds and reptiles. They are all so amazing to me. Grooming and distributing medication can be done at your request. I dont mind large dogs at all. Puppies are also welcome. I love to exercise, so your pup and I shall be doing some running around outside. Photography is my side hobby so please be prepared to be flooded with lots of pictures. All pups will go on 3-4 walks a day. More walk can be requested. Am walks: 6-7 am Afternoon walks: 12pm-1pm Pm walks:6pm-7pm Late late walks: 11pm-12am I treat all fur babies how I’d want my own to be treated. In case of emergency I live very close to multiple animal hospitals.

About: I’ve cared for many breeds since such a young age and the one common denominator I’ve noticed in all dogs is- we don’t deserve any of them: They are all truly awesome. I WFH in the afternoon/night and have plenty of time during the day to care for your pup! And when I am WFH id love to take a break with your best friend and go for a walk! I live in a closed complex with plenty of grass by a river. I also live next to a park where I would love to walk with your fur baby!
“I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maywood
I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!
Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
Varsha is an incredible pet sitter with a genuine passion for animals. My little pup, Sundae, absolutely loves spending time with her. 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!
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 -

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Maywood is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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.

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.
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 Maywood 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 .
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.
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 .
