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 cared for dogs and cats through personal and family experience, providing daily feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m very attentive to routines, hygiene, and safety, and I always make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their own home. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I’m reliable, punctual, and always prioritize consistency to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take safety and trust very seriously and always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, calm, and secure. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any changes in mood or appetite, and I communicate regularly with updates for peace of mind.

My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. 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: Reliable and compassionate pet sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications and providing attentive, personalized care to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Services include drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. Your pets will be treated like family every step of the way! I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare! I’m available for drop in visits and walks upon special request, due to my work schedule, but I’m available for overnight stays 7 days a week. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar environment while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and attentive to their comfort and well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and senior, I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, we maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, disposing of waste, and keeping living areas tidy. We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.

Emily was absolutely amazing. We had a very unusual situation where we lost power the night before leaving for vacation, which meant we could not leave Tucker at home as planned. Emily was incredibly understanding and stayed available in case the power came back on and we were able to leave. When the power was finally restored, she refunded us for the days she did not need to come, even though she did not have to. We had specifically asked her to remain available during that time, so we truly appreciated her honesty, flexibility, and understanding. Once we were able to leave for our vacation, Emily was wonderful with Tucker. She took him on really nice, long walks, communicated with us consistently, and did everything she could to accommodate our situation. You can often tell what someone is really like when nobody is around. We have cameras inside our home, and while I was not sitting there watching every moment, I would occasionally check in to make sure everything was going well. Every time I checked, Emily was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive with Tucker. You can absolutely tell that Emily is a true dog person. She treats the dogs she watches like they are her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, honest, caring, and genuinely great with dogs.

Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!

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 $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,451 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:

  • 90% 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.
