“This is our second time using Hannah and she was great! My cats go to her with no problem. My one cat needs medicine. He is comfortable with her and allows her to give it to him. My mind is at ease knowing that she's taking such good care of them. I already told her that i want to use her for our vacation in August!”

About: I’ll take care of your beloved pet as if they were my own — with love, kindness and patience. Most of all, I will be sensitive to their needs and limitations (i.e. making sure pavement is not too hot, monitoring them for cold/ heat exposure, etc.) I will make time to fit you and your pet's schedule to walk your dog at the optimal time. Flexible with regard to weather, esp. for pets who are sensitive to heat and cold. During each walk I am prepared to keep your pet safe and protect them from other animals and traffic depending on where we walk by carrying bear spray, air horn, head harness, water bowl, or whatever the situation calls for. I also have an access to car pick up if there is an emergency. Ask me about the charity I am donating to, and a promo code to save money on your first booking! I am à school speech therapist and have limited availability. Right now I am willing to take on 1-2 clients per day. If you are able, please request a free trial / meet and greet before your first booking. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to a park for a fun outing! If they are not up to walking on that day, we can just play or smell the grass together! My goal is for your dog to have an immersive, engaging walk so they are can rest when they get home- dog and human together, enjoying outdoors with all 5 senses!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years through fostering, pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering with animal shelters. I’ve spent more than 10 years volunteering with shelters and also have experience helping train service animals, which has taught me so much about patience, consistency, animal behavior, and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention, exercise, and structure to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and a little extra patience and TLC. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship while they’re with me. And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, you can expect plenty of photo updates so you can see what your best friend is up to! ❤️ I have a full-time job with flexible hours, which allows me to fit pet care into my schedule consistently. I’m most available on evenings and weekends, and I always make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a house with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and settle in. I’m very mindful about safety, routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have a friendly 6-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to use a crate if that is part of your dog’s normal routine, and I always do my best to keep pets feeling safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have always considered them part of the family. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I understand the love, patience, attention, and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s beloved pet. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat mine—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾❤️ I currently work full time so I am available after 6pm weekdays, and most of the day on weekends to play and care for you fur babies. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines and the instructions provided by their owners. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and supervised, while giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of every home and treat it with the same care I would want for my own. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since my early 20s. I began fostering dogs in my early 30s and even had some foster failures. I have always been that friend, neighbor, stranger that will stop and help and animal in need or just stop the world to say hi to a four legged love ! I have full open availability! I am a teacher and am home during the summer so I can meet most needs. I am also willing to travel to help a pup in need. I prefer to board at home and I have two small pups at home, Eli and Gidget. Eli is a 12 year old Havanese and Gidget is a 2 year old Brug. They are sweet and get along with all animals and people.

About: Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm a lifelong animal lover, and I share my home with my dog Jax, who is the heart of everything I do. I got into pet sitting because caring for animals isn't just my work — it's my passion. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified, so your pets are in safe, trained hands whether we're out on a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or settling in for a cozy stay. I have reliable daytime availability and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Every pet gets treated like family — with patience, playtime, and plenty of love. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule revolves around your pets! I'm available seven days a week from 8:30 AM to 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, day care, boarding, and house sitting. I plan my day around each pet's routine — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Because pet care is my livelihood, you can count on consistent, reliable availability and quick responses to your messages. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified and trained to handle emergencies calmly. In my home, dogs get a secure, pet-friendly environment with structured routines, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection — plus my dog Jax as a friendly companion (with slow, supervised introductions for boarders). In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it: feeding schedules, medications, house rules, and favorite spots. I use secure leashing and harness checks on every walk, keep a close eye on dogs during play, and send regular photo updates so you're never wondering how your pet is doing.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 ****Unfortunately I do not offer 24/7 care**** I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. However I DO NOT offer 24/7 care as I have pets of my own to care for. For your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my homes and have had additional experience with birds, fish, chickens, hamsters, mice, snakes, geckos, bunnies, and others over my last 30 years. Though it hasn’t been my full time profession in years, I spent many years managing a boarding facility alongside an animal hospital, which remains to this day my absolute favorite job. I find no greater joy than helping ease the anxiety that the animal babies feel when they are away from the comfort of their own homes. I have successfully trained a number of puppies including large “bully breeds” and I especially enjoy helping rescues find comfort in new homes after questionable upbringings. Above all, my heart pours love and gratitude into animal babies because I believe they deserve the same unconditional love that they give to us humans. I work part time and make my own schedule. I am incredibly flexible and am used to a swing schedule where I can get up early or stay up late in order to accommodate the needs of my clients. I have a multiple acre wooded property. Though it is not entirely fenced in I am skilled at leash walking/training and my property backs up to miles of trails that are part of a wildlife refuge. I currently have a one year old female Beagle/Belgian Malinois mix who is crate trained but also does stay at home alone freely at this age with no incidents. She is incredible with other dogs and people, overall very sweet and friendly. I am willing to crate your pup if that is what you prefer, but am also ok with a free roaming pup. I work only on a free-lance basis and do all of my work based around my pet sitting, drop in, and walking schedule. So your animals are my number one priority! I have added a fence on my wooded property to accommodate pups that need some freedom from a leash to do their ‘business’ 😆 and of course my sweet, friendly, playful pup Rainy is always ready to wrestle, chase, or cuddle her new friends!

We had Jaylene visit our 2 dogs, let them out, feed them dinner and hang out with them while we were at a wedding. She did a great job with them, especially our dog who takes a long time to get accustomed to strangers. We got great updates and pictures, which provided peace of mind while we were out. Thank you!!

would like to sincerely thank Kathryn for the wonderful care she has given to Rocky Duke and for overseeing Blair. She is a genuinely caring, trustworthy, and dependable person who always goes above and beyond. Knowing they were in her care gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone compassionate, reliable, and dedicated. Thank you, Kathryn, for everything you did for my babies.

Liv was absolutely fantastic with my big boy! He cried at windows when she left and he hasn't done that with anyone but me. She actually played with him when she was over and he was SO happy and relaxed after she left. I will most definitely be using her again when I need pet care 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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Netcong

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Netcong is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 4,561 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Netcong. 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.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.

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.
