About: I have been responsible for the care of cats and dogs inside and outside of my home since the age of two. I trained my family dog from eight weeks old, and have experience managing aggressive behavior. I am familiar with cats, having cared for them from kitten age to the end of their lives. When granted the responsibility to look after others pets, I show up with the utmost respect and care that I would want for my very own. I am a full time college student home for summer. I chose to spend this summer focusing on my summer coursework. With that completed, I have plenty of free time to care for your pets needs. I babysit as well. I am highly capable of whatever your needs may be; feeding, bathing, walking, keeping up with your training schedule. I have reliable transportation and am available to visit your pet(s) multiple times in a day in order to meet their physiological needs as well as engage with them in activity and play. I am also available to sit in-house.

About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.

About: I have been taking care of and pet sitting animals, whether it be my own, my family’s or friends basically my whole life. More recently, I have been involved with The Seeing Eye since 2018, as a puppy sitter as well as a volunteer Puppy Raiser, and I have been bathing and grooming dogs professionally since early 2021, working with little puppies for their first grooms all the way up to senior dogs who need a little more love and patience during the grooming process. I have several years of experience working with puppies on basic obedience, and potty training. In addition, I have a 6 year old german shepherd who I have raised and trained myself who I love with my whole heart. I currently work 5 days a week as a groomer, however my schedule can be flexible. I am available most nights after 6 pm and all day Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I do not pet sit in my own home, as I live in a small apartment. However, I would be more than happy to stay over a clients home if needed!

About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore them. We lost our two babies within months of each other and I miss them terribly. I would love to spend some time with other doggies. I work part-time so have a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to drop in or take your dog(s) for a walk. I’m happy to also just hang out with them. Unfortunately my two doggies are no longer with me but I miss taking care of a dog so I would love to be able to help someone out.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I’ve helped walk friends’ dogs, played with them, and assisted with their care when needed. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or extra affection, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and always follow your instructions carefully. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! Dog walking fits easily into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability during the early mornings, evenings, and some mid-day hours depending on the day, which allows me to consistently take on walks. I’ve helped walk dogs for friends and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable building this into my schedule regularly. I make sure to plan ahead and keep commitments organized so each dog gets reliable, attentive care and a consistent walking routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. For dog walking, I focus on giving each dog a safe and enjoyable walk based on their energy level and personality—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things clean, and make sure pets are safe and happy at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Danielle! I’ve been the proud owner of a chocolate cockapoo, Hershey, for 11+ years now. Although I’m very familiar with mixed breeds as a result of owning one myself, I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes. I can’t wait to meet and play with your dog soon! I’m currently working at home with a flexible schedule. I’ve always been a dog-lover and hope to integrate more dog walking and pet sitting into my weekly routine. I’m very familiar with all sorts of pet care, from dog walking to pet sitting. I frequently take my own dog on long walks/hikes, to vet/grooming visits, and more!

About: I have lived around dogs and cats my entire life since I was a young kid with my family. I love all dogs and cats equally and treat them as if they are my own child. I currently have one kitten that I adopted from a rescue, she is four months old and super friendly and playful. I would love to babysit, walk or check in on any dog or cat that is in need. I am currently working from home due to the pandemic so I can give 24/7 attention to any pet at any day or time. I love working out on a daily basis so dog walking would be an absolute pleasure! I live near a nice waterfront park which would be great for walks. I’m currently working from home due to the pandemic so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and show them the love and affection they deserve! I am very active so I love playing with dogs and cats to keep them busy and keep them moving. It tires them out so they sleep well through the night

Sheila was a life saver for me when I needed to find someone to check on my dogs during the day while at the office. Keanu and Wiley don’t like just anyone but they liked her immediately. Sheila was shrewd enough to ask me if she had to worry about either of the dogs escaping when she comes in, and she was right to ask because my girl Wiley will sometimes be in the mood for a freedom run achieved by escaping between someone’s legs if they hangout with the door open too long! Very professional, great to work with

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - New Providence

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New Providence on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 25,372 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New Providence. 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 New Providence 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 New Providence 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 New Providence 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 New Providence. 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.

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.
