About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
“Pete did an amazing job with all 3 of my dogs, one of them is special needs as well and he was able to walk and feed them and follow their care instructions with great communication updates. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone in need of a trusted walker/sitter and look forward to relying on him more and more in the future.”
“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea is doing a wonderful job with my little man, Romeo. She is very attentive to his needs and whenever there a scheduling issue she has no problem changing things around. Lots of purrs and snuggles when I came home, definitely recommend!”
“Wonderful job taking care of our bunny. Daily drop ins were a success. She went above and beyond when our bunny ran out of pellets and ran to Petco for a refill. She even brought in our mail daily. She provided updates and pictures daily! I would totally trust Jenn in the future! She makes it easy to vacation knowing our bunny is in good hands.”
About: I have experience dog sitting and walking family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Hi! I’m a dependable pet lover offering drop-in visits and dog walks in the Bergen County area. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if needed), and plenty of attention so your pet stays comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for family and friends’ dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’ve also raised three cats since they were kittens (my oldest is 7 years old). Living with cats has taught me to pay attention to body language, routines, and the little details that help pets feel safe and relaxed. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time with each pet rather than rushing between visits. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I aim to be reliable, communicative, and gentle with every animal I care for, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience and care I give my own. I provide safe, reliable drop-in visits and dog walks to keep your pets happy and comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is safe and enjoyable
About: Ever since my family got our first dog, I absolutely fell in love with them. I offered to always watch after my friend’s dogs whenever their family would travel. I would walk them, play with them, and always send cute updates about their pup! I am currently unemployed this summer so I will have plenty of time to play and walk your pups! I’m typically available any day of the week and I am also open to same-day scheduling. If I am not available I will let you know as soon as possible! Having dogs myself, I have learned how to take properly care for them and understand the importance of keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I always follow owner’s instructions, make sure pets have plenty of food and water, exercise, and lots of attention!
About: I've cared for dogs for 18 years as an owner, so I know the day-to-day realities of feeding schedules, exercise needs, and reading a dog's mood. I also served as a foster caregiver, acting as the transition home between rescue organizations and a dog's new family — which means I'm comfortable with dogs who are anxious, adjusting to a new environment, or still learning house manners. I treat every dog in my care like they're my own, with patience and attention to their individual needs. And I have a sister with over 2 years of consistent, 5-star reviews in South Jersey - we're a dog lover household! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm available weekday evenings and weekends (with occasional flexibility weekday mornings/afternoons too). This means I can offer reliable, consistent walks and visits without rushing, so your pet gets my full attention every time. Since I focus on walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize your home's security every visit — locking doors behind me, following any specific instructions you leave, and sticking closely to your pet's normal routine. I stay alert to their comfort and body language throughout, so they feel safe and at ease with me the whole time.
“Lauren was wonderful with our 4 cats. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will be asking her to drop in daily for us again. Our oldest cat required medicine in her food which Lauren was no stranger to, as she has done that with her own animals. The most timid of our cats came out for head scratches by the end of the 5 days - a sure sign that she is gentle and knows animals. She was also able to drop in around the same time each day, which was important for the cat that needed medication and was good for the animals. They are probably less anxious with a routine visiting time. 2 thumbs up!”
“Valerie is so kind and caring and it is so comforting leaving our puppies with her. It is so clear that she loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to take care of them. She texts updates and answers right away. We will absolutely be using Valerie again and again! Such a great person and great puppy sitter!”
“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
About: I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“Sara was great to work with! She is very timely, took care of our kitties like they were her own, and checked in with pictures and updates. Our normally shy kitties came out to see her so that tells me only great things! We also felt that our home was safe and treated with care too. I highly recommend her and we will be using her again for future trips. Thank you so much!”
“Casey did a drop in visit for my cat and dog while I was away and she took excellent care of them and my home. Amazing communication skills! I will definitely be using her again.”
“Cheryl & Elmar each dropped-in to visit my new 10 week old puppy who is adapting to his parents going back to work. Hudson absolutely loved playing with them and they provided plenty of pictures and videos to ensure Hudson was comfortable and having a great time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Milford
I’m always nervous booking a new sitter, but upon meeting Maia she was very friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. She took great care of our two cats and while we were on vacation and brought in the mail and watered our plants everyday. I will definitely book her in the future!
Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.
Katie has been a wonderful sitter for my cats! She was easy to reach and very responsive. She even agreed to an emergency visit when my cat toppled the water fountain over. I was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies :) Thank you, Katie!
Sara is a supreme cat sitter and you can trust her with your pets. She was flexible when we had a family emergency and is always reliable to make sure my kitties are well. Even my shy kitty who doesn’t like most people will excitedly greet her. Highly recommended and we will be booking her again and again!
Natalie is an amazing sitter - she has an intuitive understanding of animals, a kind & loving approach, and took great care of my dog. Her adherence to instructions and attention to detail were excellent, and the communication was great throughout the process. Will definitely book 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 New Milford 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Milford. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
