About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m looking to make some extra income so I can continue being a stay-at-home mom, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m happy to work around their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention and care.

Mike immediately was one of Freddy’s favorite humans. He had a natural positive energy when he met Freddy for the first time and it’s still like that. He’s communicative and shows up on time. It’s great to have someone reliable to take care of our furry family member while we’re working.

About: I’ve had experience with animals for most of my life! My family had a red beagle growing up and an orange tabby cat. My sister currently has a lab/golden retriever mix that I help out with when it’s needed! I have cared for other animals as well for friends and family if they’re away on vacation or if they’re not around I work full time during the week in the school system, but I can help out after hours and also help out on weekends! During the week I could help out after 4pm and weekends can vary with time. Our family beagle used to have an invisible fence to keep him inside the yard. Currently with my sister’s lab/retriever mix, we put her on a lead in the yard when she needs to go out. If she’s outside with no leash/lead, she’s in an enclosed space where we make sure she can’t get out of.

Mylene is an amazing sitter! She recently watched our babies while we were away for a mini trip, and we couldn't be happier. From the moment we met her for the meet-and-greet, we knew she was the best choice, and she didn't disappoint. Mylene is super communicative—we received perfectly timed walk updates every morning and evening. She is incredibly reliable and prompt with her replies, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking her services again.

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs, and I’ve been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I have a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian who are the best of friends, and we enjoy our twice-daily walks together. I’ve grown up with Rottweilers, so I know exactly how to handle big & small dogs —especially when they’re feeling anxious or need some extra TLC. I work from home 3-4 times a week and always available on weekends, so I’m always around to keep your pet company and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m here to make sure your dog feels loved and cared for, just like my own. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I’m always available to give your pet the attention they need. My own dogs get two daily walks, and I make time for play and snuggles in between. Whether it’s a walk or some quality time, I’m here to ensure your pet feels loved and cared for all day. I make sure your pet feels right at home, whether they’re here with me or in your home. My place is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I keep a close eye on them, ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. At your home, I stick to your pet’s routine and follow any special instructions to keep them feeling secure and loved.

She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger. I have had multiple dogs! I would love to include your fur baby in on the fun! I’ve also worked at 2 dog daycare/ boarding facilities!!! I’m visiting my hometown in Rockaway, New Jersey, until the beginning of October. I’m available to watch your furry friend at any time. Whether it’s letting them out for a walk or twice a day, or keeping them at my place, I’m quite flexible. This will be my sole source of income, so I’m committed to making it work. Your fur baby will have a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while staying with me. I do have two tenants who live downstairs, and we share the backyard. The pups are welcome to enjoy the backyard, but they will always be supervised while outside. I’m also happy to take your fur baby on walks for exercise and potty breaks, and of course there will be plenty of cuddle time, playtime, and attention throughout their stay. I want every pup to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home! Tyson and I are excited to hear from you!!!! 🐶🐾

About: Ive been giving out love to every pup possible, for as long as I can remember. Dogs have been my true passion all my life and nothing makes me happier, than getting to meet new ones and give them love. I am a vet tech and absolutely love what I do. Caring for animals of all size, age, and condition is what makes me happy. With being a vet tech, I have experience with administering medication, care of many health conditions, and caring for dogs of all sizes and age. I do work full time, but have a pretty flexible schedule of days and times. My work schedule is the same weekly with alternating Saturdays. I feed pets and keep to their schedule, when it’s breakfast or dinner time for them. I also give lots of attention, walk, and play with them.

It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Mount Arlington on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,434 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Mount Arlington 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 Mount Arlington 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 Mount Arlington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Arlington. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
