“Absolutely incredible service. Julie’s attention to details was outstanding. We would recommend Julie over and over again. If you want someone to care for your fur babies while you are away, this is the person to contact. My cat Elsa is not the friendliest to strangers but she warmed right up to Julie two days in. Look forward to have her take care of my babies when we go on our next trip. The visit information that I received assured me that my pets were in good hands. Always on time and great communication with me with the status of the each visit. Julie thank you so much !”
“Ysela took excellent care of our cat while we were away. She was available for a last min weekend trip. She was incredibly responsive and took notes on how to care for our cat. We were updated on each visit with photos and feedback on our pet’s behavior and demeanor. We will absolutely have her take care of our cat again.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.
“Paola was so reliable and flexible. I had to change my request a few times and each time she responded quickly that it was no issues for her. She arrived exactly as requested and did all the tasks that I asked of her. She texted me when she had a question, which made feel so confident that she was taking everything very serious and didn't want to make a mistake. I will 100% contact her again when I go away.”
About: I am a teacher in Secaucus who recently moved to Rockaway. I love dogs and my greatest joy in life is spending time with my dog, Bronxie! I’m a teacher who is looking for summer work which makes it perfect to do pet care with an open schedule! I am available Monday-Friday in mornings and afternoons. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for dogs of all ages. Also, I make sure all dogs get along together and have their own space when they need it.
About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

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.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner, having been raised surrounded by animals. That being said, I always helped to take care of our pets since I was a young kid. Dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snails, crabs; you name it, I've raised it. I love animals and love to care for them. I am athletic so I am great at keeping up with even the most energetic pets! I would love to be of service to anyone who may need me. I have also petsit and dogwalked for others privately for pay before this, so I have proper experience as well beyond my personal life. I work from home and varying hours between 3-8 pm on Mon-Fri (Usually only 2-4 hours in the studio at a time), so I have plenty of free time for care! I have experience with free-roaming pets of all kinds, as well as cage-training and homes with limited areas the animal is meant to stay in, so I have no trouble remembering these things. I can send regular updates if requested, including photos!
“First time using Rover app service, Found Christine, she was great with Tiger and her job. Completed assignments that we asked her to watched over Tiger for 2 drop in visiting and took him for walk as well. Thank you Christine for help us checked in Tiger.”
“Christina was amazing always on time went above and beyond very trustworthy. I will use her over and over and over again without a doubt. I also like the fact that she always kept me up-to-date as to what was going on took wonderful pictures and really put my mind at ease while we were away. I cannot say enough good things about her.”
“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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, from bouncing puppies and feisty kittens to wise senior pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats — each with their own unique personality and needs. I specialize in puppy training basics, gentle leash walks, and helping new pets adjust to their routines. I also have extensive experience with senior pet care, including administering medications, providing mobility support, and making sure older pets stay comfortable and loved. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks, I make sure every pet feels cared for like family. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, respect, and lots of love (and maybe a few extra treats). I currently work in a hybrid setup so I can easily carr for your pet! Currently I am available on Mondays and Fridays throughout the day as those days I work from home, available on weekends, and after 6PM Tuesday-Thursday I believe that establishing trust is the key to every successful relationship with an animal — whether meeting a new pet or caring for one I already know. I approach each interaction with patience and respect, ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their individual boundaries, offering affection and playtime without ever pushing them beyond their comfort level.
“Desirae exceeded our expectations. Not only did she go above and beyond by keeping us consistently updated on our small dogs, but she did so without us even having to request it. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were truly commendable. Moreover, her polite demeanor, kindness, and punctuality made our experience even more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to utilize her services again in the future.”
“Alissa is so thoughtful and caring of our pup, Lulu. It’s a comfort to know our dog is in such good hands. She always leaves details and she shares the best photos of our pup.”

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!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
