About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I'm home 24/7, your dog will never be left alone for long and will get all the attention, love, and companionship they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while your pup enjoys a happy, comfortable stay. I'll gladly send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they're having. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my fully fenced backyard, with a dog door so they can head in and out whenever they like. I work from home and I'm here all day, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm available 24/7, so whether you need daytime drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I can give your dog consistent attention and care while you're away.

“Michelle has been fantastic. My dog is a rescue and often takes a bit of time to warm up to new people. Michelle was so patient with him and continues to provide the highest level of care for him. Michelle is very responsive and always communicates before and after the visit. I’d highly recommend Michelle to help care for your pets!”

“Nicole was wonderful. Our kitty, Oscar, loved her. She is really an amazing cat sitter as she played with him to stimulate him when we were away. She has a fantastic feel for cats and gave use many pictures and videos to watch on our trip. Five stars! Keith”

“Clifmon was so nice and had the best vibes for my cat! He was on time and made sure my cat had food, water and all things necessary.. including pets and playtime! Thank you again!”


About: Hello, neighbors! My name is Min, and I’m a technical writer and editor. For many years, I shared my life with a sweet Pomeranian who was so much more than a pet—she was my best friend and, in every sense, my little girl. Even though she’s been gone for some time, I still find a little piece of her in the eyes of every animal I meet. Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my own little one, as well as with my friends’ dogs and cats. Those experiences are what inspired me to join Rover in the first place! 🐾 Ever since moving to NYC, one of my greatest joys has been getting to know my neighbors’ four-legged family members, saying hello, and spending a little time playing with them. I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. To me, every dog and cat is special, and I genuinely cherish the time I get to spend with them. So please, say hello! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members. And who knows? If they’re interested, I could even teach them a little Korean! 😂🇰🇷 Perhaps we can start with a few K-dramas on Netflix. 🐾🤗 Hello, I currently have a full-job, but hours are flexible and I usually work from home! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play. Your dogs/cats will be my sole focus when I am with them! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play.
“Megan was a great sitter for Nyla. She was very flexible when I added additional visits and requested changes in the visits. I will definitely be scheduling her for future visits.”

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.

About: Hi! I’m a Columbia University graduate student trying to get by. I have taken care of a large range of animals including hamsters, geckos, cats, and dogs. Friends and family have both trusted me with their furry friends. I treat animals like they’re my own (I spoil my cat son Hugo) and make sure to receive the best care! I work a full time job, but I am available on all evenings after 5 and mornings before 9am. I am also available during all hours of the day on weekends. I live in an apartment, but I am happy to watch your pets at your home. If needed, my apartment has a lot of space, and I live in a walkable, dog friendly neighborhood near a park!
About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!
About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
“Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!”

About: Long-term dog walker with years of experience and a big heart for animals 🐾 I’m gentle, patient, and love building trust with every pup. Whether your dog wants a slow sniffy stroll or a happy adventure, I’ll treat them like my own 💕🐕 I’m currently working part time.

“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

About: I’ve always been the type of person who gets excited whenever I see a dog or cat! Over the past 2 years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know each one. Some are super playful and affectionate, while others need a little more time to warm up. I never like to rush them and always let them come to me when they’re ready. I’m naturally patient, caring, and love making animals feel comfortable around me. Whether we’re running around playing or just relaxing together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like they’re my own. I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your furry babies! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, aside from Monday and Thursday mornings. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I have lots of time to give them the love and attention they deserve! I know being in a new environment can be overwhelming for pets, so I always give them time and space to get comfortable. I let them explore at their own pace while making sure they’re safe and supervised. I also try to stick to their usual routines so they feel as relaxed and at home as possible.

“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”

About: I've done a fair amount of animal rescue and have experience with a wide range of animals and various caretaking needs. I've cared for cats, dogs, bunnies, rats, birds, chinchillas, lizards, etc. I can administer most medications, and am also experienced with senior animals. I currently have 3 rescue special-needs kitties of my own and am a part-time rat mom. I teach part-time at Montclair State University and work in wardrobe and costumes on Broadway. I'm currently in-between shows and have quite a bit of free time take care of pets. I am flexible and versatile in care methods for your pets. I can go for a brisk walk with a Dalmatian, I can play tug of war with a Dachshund, I can cuddle with a Golden Retriever. I am happy to feed, play with, cuddle, brush, walk, etc.
About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for dogs and puppies across every stage of life — tiny learners discovering the world, energetic adolescents building good habits, and sweet seniors who move at a gentler pace. I’m experienced in training support, reinforcing routines, and providing thoughtful senior care that honors each pet’s comfort, mobility, and dignity. One of my greatest abilities is earning genuine trust. I move with intention, speak softly, and let pets come to me on their own terms. My patience is exceptional — the kind that helps anxious, shy, or cautious animals feel safe enough to open their hearts. Whether I’m guiding a puppy through new skills or supporting an older dog through slow, tender moments, I show up with calm confidence and deep respect. I’ve always believed animals — like children — are some of the world’s greatest gifts. Their honesty, purity, and emotional intelligence inspire me every day. If I could rewrite my career, I’d be a veterinarian. But even as a project manager, my long‑term dream is to work in a field that protects animals and contributes to their preservation. Caring for your pet isn’t just a service to me — it’s a calling. I honor their individuality, their needs, and their spirit with warmth, consistency, and genuine love. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I’m always attentive, present, and able to give pets consistent care, supervision, and guaranteed genuine connection. All I need is my laptop! From anywhere, I create a calm, structured environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow all routines exactly as given, keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and maintain a clean, hazard‑free space. I’m attentive, gentle, and always present — especially since I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. Pets feel safe with me because I move slowly, respect boundaries, and build trust through consistency and patience. As a project manager, structure is very important to me

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Moonachie
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!!

Emily was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond while watching him. She provided thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Brady was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Knowing he was treated with so much love and attention made all the difference. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.
Mariah was nothing but amazing with my 2 dogs! I felt so comfortable leaving her to care for them as I was on vacation. She’s great at communicating and sends updates with cute pictures of my dogs. I would highly recommend Mariah and will be using her in the future.

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 -

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Moonachie is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 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 26,533 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Moonachie. 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.
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 Moonachie 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 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.
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 Moonachie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
