“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat sitter provided for our four cats while we were away. She followed every instruction carefully, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and our cats absolutely adored her 😸 Coming home to four happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for cats was the best feeling. She went above and beyond to make sure their routines stayed consistent and that each of them received plenty of attention and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our furry family!”


About: With over 10 years of experience pet-sitting, you can count on me to take care of your pet with love and care. I treat all animals like family, and I am looking to continue to build on my experience with pet-sitting. Please book me, and I can assure you your pet will be in good hands! Weekly Availability Schedule: Mondays through Thursdays = I am available anytime after 7pm EST Fridays through Sundays = I am available at anytime (I am willing to be flexible to accommodate for your fur baby)! Because of having two fur babies in my own home, I am preferably looking to care for other's pets in their own home, where they can be comfortable. I love a good routine, and I am efficient with being at a location at an assigned time, and am very reliable.
“Alondra took wonderful care of my two dogs and bunny while we were away. She was always punctual with her check-ins, made sure the dogs got outside to use the bathroom each visit, and kept us updated along the way. It was clear that all of our pets loved her and were comfortable in her care. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book Alondra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”

“Nicole did an amazing job with our 15-year old grandpa cat while we were out of town. She's friendly and attentive and was very persistent with getting our cat to eat his pill (a tough job even for us). Her Rover comments were detailed and always came with nice pics so we felt comfortable knowing he was being well taken cared of. He loves attention and usually is a little stressed when we return from trips after being without us, but this time he was the most chill we've ever seen him, thanks to the great care he got from Nicole. We look forward to having her catsit again!”

About: I’ve owned pets ever since I was able to and grew up with dogs and cats. I started walking neighbors dogs when I was 10, and have never stopped. Since having a family we raised 1 yellow lab - trained and and nurtured him in his elder years. We have since rescued a Shepard mix and a black lab. I help my friend care for area pets when she has overflow in her own pet care business. I’ve been an elementary teacher for 33 years- 20 years at a school for the deaf, so I do know sign language. I have summers off and am available during the school year as well. I would visit and play with your pet while you are away, as I know how I feel when we travel and need to leave our dogs behind.

“Paola was amazing with my cat, Jack! She sent great updates and adorable photos, which really put me at ease while I was away (especially since this was the first time I’ve left him for an extended period of time). She clearly cares a lot about animals and even brought in a package for me, which I really appreciated! I came home to a very happy cat and would definitely recommend ! :)”


“We had our first booking with Jonathan today. He was very responsive and arrived right on time. He remained calm around all three of our dogs. Will book Jonathan again.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl, having cats since a toddler. When my sister got her first dog, I watched after her a lot since I was studying from home and she was a puppy who we knew needed more often potty breaks and care. When she got her next 2 puppies, I also watched after them while they were little ones. I have cared for dogs who take medication and dogs who need a little more TLC. Ultimately, I have experience with dogs and cats and love both so much. My best friend is a vet and her husband an emergency vet (sadly they're in Georgia), but its comforting knowing I have them in my pocket for any emergencies. I currently work M-F but am off on the weekends. I have finished my board exams and awaiting the beginning of residency, so I am looking for something to do on the weekends I enjoy, and what better way to do that than caring for adorable animals! I care for animals in their own home. I’m very respectful of other’s belongings and find that animals tend to do better when they are in their normal surroundings.

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: Flexible hours available at your fingertips! With each pet having their own special personality, I easily adapt to its care. A lover of all animals and here for whatever they need. Ready to offer my five star service - if they like cuddles, they’ll get cuddles. If they prefer space, they’ll get space. With having two family dogs that I help take care of - both of which are almost 13 years old - I have plenty of experience and care to provide to make them feel comfortable and have a great time away. Whether it be a run/stroll through the park or comfortably watching television, I’m ready to make them feel easily at home and make you feel at ease knowing I’m with them!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve dog sat for friends and neighbors for the past couple years. Love all types of pets! I’ve trained my family dogs so have some experience with that aswell. My personal dog takes medication so I can handle pet care with medication assistance. I’m currently home from college this summer and working a part time job so I have a lot of availability to help out anyone who needs pet care! I can accommodate to any needs for the pet and owner. I car every much for animals so they will be handled with love and care 24/7.

Andrew grew up with a Jack Russell terrier, Boo, and Jillian loves dogs! We currently live in Montville and our daughters are young.

About: I am a proud owner of a beautiful pup at home that makes me smile everyday. Having her has taught me how to interact, love and care for dogs. This is an experience I can share with other dogs. I grew up I surrounded by many dogs at home and at my family's farm in my home country, so since a young age I have been interacted with them and has allowed me to understand how important they become to our lives. I speak Spanish as well Im currently working full time as a dog walker. Any other services like boarding plese text me to see if I can help you out! During our walk I can assure you that my time and attention would be directed to your pup, so it can enjoy our time together as much as I will.

Donna was amazing. We were in a bind at the last minute and she was accommodating and put our minds at ease while we had a family obligation that too us away. She was great with 3 rescue animals including one with significant anxiety issues. Highest recommendation.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes 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 .

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

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.
