“Melanie is fantastic and great with animals. Our dogs immediately took to her because of her calm and loving personality. Highly recommend Melanie and we will use her services again!”
“Dana was terrific! We were in town to catch a baseball game and needed a sitter for our 9 week-old pup, Chester. She was available on very short notice. She immediately put us at ease: Chester loves her! She updated us throughout their visit. She even gave us useful advice about miniature schnauzer nutrition and separation anxiety—she has mini schnauzers of her own. We couldn’t have been any happier, and we look forward to booking Dana the next time we’re in town.”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl and gave us frequent updates and photos while we were gone! I had no doubts our dog was in the best hands, 10/10 recommend and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Sara took such great care of our Kane! It’s so reassuring knowing he’s in caring hands while we’re away. Kept us updated and sent us photos all through the day. We’re grateful for the love and attention she gave him and we have already booked her again. Highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! 🐾”
“Maddy did an exceptional job watching Cinnapop! She was very professional, worked during our meet & greets to make sure Cinnapop liked her, and was great at keeping me updated while we where away! She left the house in great condition when we got back, and Cinnapop got along so well with her that she actually started looking for Maddy at the door the day after we returned!”
“Kristie was great with our dog Turtle! She is very friendly and sent pictures which put my mind at ease. This was the first time anyone but family has watched Turtle and it was a great experience. Definitely will be booking with Kristie again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Emma was great with our 3 dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. I got multiple updates with photos and our girls were obviously comfortable with her. We came home to a clean house, she even had our bedding in the wash when we got home. We definitely recommend with her and will keep her on our short list of pet sitters for the future.”
“Gretchen was the most fantastic sitter I could have ever asked for. We learned we needed coverage last minute, and that was no problem for Gretchen. She set up a meet and greet to learn the dogs habits and needs and make sure the chemistry was on point. Then she had them Covered for the whole weekend. Sending regular updates and pictures. We loved the pup-date pictures and the “day in the life” pictures we got! She also took care of our shakey baby pup through a thunderstorm. 10/10 will 100000% be rebooking Gretchen when we need help!”
About: Thank you for considering me! I’m new to Rover, but for me, animals have always been family. Growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my family’s two dogs. I would walk, feed, and play with them on a consistent schedule. Nowadays, I have four cats with my fiancée and I’m loving every minute of being a pet parent! My top priorities as your pet sitter are safety, communication, and comfort. I want you to feel at ease knowing that your animals are in good hands, just as I want your pets to be comfortable with me checking in on them. I will always respect any boundaries, especially with shy/reserved animals! I have a full time job in Bellevue, where I work 8am-4pm Monday thru Friday. I am able to drop in before and after my shifts, as well as anytime on weekends! Dog walks are better suited for after my work shifts. I’d only be available for House sitting typically from Friday evenings to Sunday evenings/Monday mornings, although don’t hesitate to reach out as it’s possible we could get something coordinated. Communication is key! Safety is huge for me. Having multiple pets that are escape artists has taught me to be very vigilant when opening our front door. Your pet’s safety is my top priority!
“Ann did a wonderful job taking care of Teddy in our home. She was professional, responsive, and kept us updated throughout. Teddy was happy and well cared for when we returned. We highly recommend Ann and would absolutely book her again!”
“Eric’s was amazing! She took great care of Rocket and gave him plenty of cuddles and walks. I’ve already booked her for a longer stay with Rocket. I just hope he doesn’t want to go home with her when I return.”
About: Hi I’m Allyson! I love all kinds of animals, I’ve taken care of every kind ever since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets while I have fun doing it! Every pet I meet has a special place in my heart ♥️ My schedule is flexible right now which gives me more time to pickup a side work to take care of your lovely pets! :) 🐾 I have a quiet home with one cat at our friendly neighborhood. I’ll always keep an eye and care for your pet when I visit/walk/feed them.
About: My love and passion for animals of all shapes and size has been visible from a young age. I will be attending Vet Tech Institute this summer, so I promise that your fur-baby will be my #1 priority! I will treat not only you, but your furry friend with the upmost compassion and respect! I promise not to disappoint! 🐾 Even in attendance at Vet Tech Institute, I will never have enough animal time! This will allow me to focus on my school work, but also give some love to your pets! My fur-babies are what you call... SPOILED! They will be given the absolute best treatment followed by plenty of love and treats! I respect the boundaries of any client, whether it be your pet's or your own! I promise to do my best to make you feel worry free while your furry friend is in my care! I am currently in between jobs, so I have all of the time in the world to love and care for your pups! I accept same day appointments! 🐾 Unfortunately, I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets. When I am in your home, I will treat your property, but most importantly, your dog with the absolute most respect. I will tend and cater to your pup's needs as directed and needed. I will treat your furry-friend as if they were my own and continuously spoil them during our time together!

“Brianna was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, reliable, and took such fantastic care of them while we were away. She followed all of our feeding instructions and routines perfectly, kept us updated with great photos, and left our home in great shape. It gave us total peace of mind on our trip knowing our pups were in such caring hands. We would love to have her back and highly recommend her to anyone!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Susan went above and beyond while caring for our dogs and looking after our home for several days. She was attentive, responsible, communicative, and treated everything with such care. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. We highly recommend her!
Jarett was great! We were visiting the area from out of town, and needed someone to hang with our boys. He was punctual, friendly, and great with the boys. I appreciated all the picture updates as well. We would highly recommend and will definitely reach out when we visit again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Meadowlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,326 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Meadowlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Meadowlands walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Meadowlands maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Meadowlands 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meadowlands. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
