House Sitting Montvale

About: Hi! My name is Roisin and I have unwittingly become the go-to dogsitter for family and friends alike. I have watched a variety of dogs — very large ones who need lots of exercise, dogs with nervous stomachs, and 4-month old puppies who needed frequent potty trips in the middle of the night. While housesitting, I make a strong effort to maintain your pet’s routine — including feeding, treats (or lack thereof), walks, medication, and time playing. I am a full-time teacher, so most of my care is best scheduled for afternoons and evenings. On the weekends, I am much more able to keep my schedule open but altogether, I try to be flexible! I think it’s super important for dogs to be played with and given TLC while their families are away. It’s one thing to refill water bowls and take a dog for a walk, and an entirely other thing to make the dog feel at ease and loved. I make it a priority to spend time playing fetch or simply cuddling so you can rest knowing your dog is happy! When housesitting, I make it a goal to keep your house as you would like it! I tidy daily and will strip beds and do a deep clean of the areas I used prior to your arrical home.

“We are so happy that we found Maggie to stay with our dogs. She was a great house guest, and took such great care of our two dogs, with frequent walks and time outside playing fetch. She was really communicative and proactive, which we also appreciated. Our dogs are excited for her to come back again in the future!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

“My dog got kennel cough before we were traveling and I needed to find last minute arrangements at our house for him since he could not be in a group setting. I looked on Rover and was lucky enough that Julia had a last minute availability. Little did I know that Julia would be everything we needed and more! Julia sent frequent updates on Boulder and another bonus was that she is a photographer and takes beautiful photos!! She cared for Boulder so well and I was completely comfortable even though he was sick. I will absolutely be using her again!!”

“Brandon F. was FANTASTIC! He gave regular updates and sent photos of our Lucy to us. It was so great to be able to relax and know that our beloved pet was in good hands with Brandon. Would absolutely book him again!”

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have previously provided pet care and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I am responsible, caring, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that means going for a walk, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. When caring for your pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit or walk, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! I’m available for house sitting and walking your pets if you need someone to care for your best friends that’s me! I’m available 9-11am during the week. & full time on the weekends. I would care for pets in my clients home, would like to know everything about your pet before coming over, also taking your dog for a walk is something I’d love to do!

“Ori watched our dog April for 4 days and he was amazing! He was very communicative and took such good care of April and the house while we were away. From daily walks to spending time outside and cuddling on the couch, we knew our energetic girl was in the best hands. Thank you Ori!!”

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

“Faith was super friendly and extremely helpful with a last minute request. She provided excellent for my older dog and respected my home. I would definitely recommend!”

“Bhavika was super sweet and Lola took to her right away. So grateful she could watch her with such short notice. Very communicative and gave updates throughout the evening. Would definitely use Bhavika again, highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. I cared for neighborhood pets, family pets, and my own! I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even reptiles, and birds! There is nothing I love more in this world than animals<3 I am looking for something to keep me busy throughout the summer. I will be available after five once the school year begins due to commuting. I am extremely welcoming and will be sure to accommodate your pet. I will follow directions/advice given by pet owners and clean up after your pets.

About: I grew up caring for 2 dogs and 2 cats, as well as pet sitting for friends and family! Even though some have passed away now, the fur babies always leave a print on my heart. While I am unable to house pets where I reside, my heart is ready to meet new friends on my traveling journeys! I work remotely as and English/ESL teacher, so my schedule remains flexible to meet all pet needs and responsibilities. I have yet to run into a schedule that I could not tailor to my current workload and personal needs. Due to my flexibility, I have no issues waking up early and being around for specific care requests that are needed through the day. All of my previous engagements have felt confident and felt pleased with the attention, safety and comfort I am able to provide with the consistent presence.

“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. As a lifelong dog lover, I care for every pup as if they were my own. I just moved back home from Nashville, TN. Where I was consistently dog sitting in my apartment for the 4 1/2 years living there. Previously before that, I was doing it in my Hoboken apartment for 3 years. We do have a family dog, a border collie / blue heeler, Luna who is 11 years old. She is used to being around other dogs, as we previously had a husky lab as well before she passed away. Luna tends to keep to herself and only cares about her frisbee. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs, including blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs and also senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medication (including daily insulin injections) and even handling tasks like diaper/band changes. ***(Additional charge of $10 will be applied for any dogs with special needs)*** Many of the dogs I’ve cared for have anxiety or don’t do well around other dogs, so I’m very experienced in creating a calm and safe environment for them. A quick note: Rover takes a percentage of my earnings, and my rates are set with that in mind. Also, most people I meet through Rover end up booking with me directly afterward, so my repeat clients listed on the app aren’t an accurate reflection of my true base of returning families. As I also gain clients from other places as well. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have or provide references from repeat clients, both through Rover and privately. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! First thing in the morning, I take pups outside to start the day. If I have work that morning, I make sure they get a nice long walk beforehand. After work and before dinner, we go out for another walk, and then I always do a shorter one right before bedtime. On days I don’t work, I like to take longer mid-morning walks or head to the dog park (with your permission). I love spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air—especially on nice days. Of course, if your pup prefers naps and cuddles over constant activity, I’m just as happy to make that part of our day too :) *currently unable to take any boarding requests* For house sitting: I’d love to care for your pets and make your home feel like a home away from home while you’re away! I’m happy to follow their normal routine with potty breaks every 4–6 hours, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m looking for pets who are comfortable being left alone for a few hours at a time. I’ll be staying at your home throughout the booking, but I do need to be able to leave for work, errands, appointments, or other normal daily activities. I’m not the right fit for pets who require someone to be home 24/7 or who cannot be left alone at all. I want to make sure we’re a great fit from the start! I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care, respecting your home, and keeping you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. 🐾

About: I have a love for animals and it shows in my level of care. I am a future veterinarian. Growing up my house always resembled a zoo, I’ve had dogs , cats, rabbits , turtles, fish , iguanas , birds, and even a crow. Yes a crow! Lol. I was always that person to bring home animals and take care of them whether I asked my mother if I can have them or not. I’m a caring soul with a caring heart and I hope to see and connect with you and your fur baby soon. A side from being a mother my other full time job would be this. I have a large amount of free time so my schedule is open. As things start to pick up availability is subject to change. I offer a safe and controlled home for your fur baby to relax comfortably. My home is clean and animal friendly. Plently of space for long walks and new scents.
