“Eleni is very caring and attentive to my dog's needs. It is reassuring to know she pays attention to the details. Eleni makes sure my dog is fed and goes on a nice long walk. Afterwards she spends time in the house with her turning on calming music before she leaves. She definitely has my dog's best interests at heart. Eleni is reliable and a great asset to have. We'll be using her again for sure.”
“Georgii was a great sitter for our pups! He came on time and was very communicative. He kept us updated about arrival time and sent videos of our boys playing and eating dinner. I highly recommend Georgii- very pleasant, and responsible. He followed all directions and went above and beyond. 5 ⭐️”
“Elaine does such a good job with our mini schnauzer! She gives him the love and attention he needs when we are not available to be there for him and she sends timely communications and updates about her visits with him. We highly recommend Elaine!”
“Katie is reliable and sensitive to our cat’s personality and needs. She also sent terrific photos while we were away, which were both amusing and reassuring to receive during our travels.”
About: Hello 👋 I am a force free dog groomer that is AKC Safe Certified. I specialize in giant breeds and anxious pets. I would love to meet your furry companion and take great care of them! I have 2 dogs of my own, a Newfoundland and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I travel all over the country grooming dogs for AKC dog shows and I am looking to take care of your special pets when I am home in Berkeley Heights. I can do overnight stays, drop ins and dog walks. I can come stay overnight at your home as long as I am available to pop in and out so I can take care of my own pets in my home as well.
“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”
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
About: Hi there I’m Amaya, a lifelong animal lover and local pet care provider ready to give your furry family member the love, exercise and attention they deserve! I’m a pet owner myself so I understand the importance of knowing they aren’t just pets- they are family, which is why it is important for you to find someone you trust to care for them when you are away…and I can help! •Focus on safety •Routine Consistency (feeding, house rules, walking) As a graduate student, my schedule allows me to be available during those crucial hours when your furry friend needs a potty break and fresh air most. Your furry friend’s safety is my absolute priority. As a student I’m used to high responsibility and attention to detail. I know routine change can be stressful for pets, so I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment.
About: I have always been around dogs and have had dogs of my own. I currently have 2 dogs, a bishon havanesse and a pitbull. They are fun, silly and definitely worth the chaos. I will take care of your babies like they were my own. This is currently the only thing im doing. I love to hang out with dogs, see their individual personalities and get to play with them. I have a fenced in yard and will make sure to keep my dogs in a separate part of the house if your dog isnt comfortable around other dogs. Any dogs comfort and safety is my main concern. I will take care of your dog like if they were my own.
“I was grateful to connect with Carlee who helped me care for my two cats when I was in need of assistance. The cats loved her and she did a nice job of making sure their needs were met. I am sure I will call on Carlee again.”
“Jill was wonderful taking care of our dog with drop-in visits while we were away. Communication was great and she took care of our dog like she was her own. We are so glad to have found Jill and hope to book her for all of our needs going forward!”
About: I've got a soft spot for senior dogs and tons of experience training puppies! I have learned how to gentle take care of senior dogs and how to be patient. Also patience is key with training puppies, I was home during Covid and my family had work so I would be the one taking care of my puppy. What really sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure to follow specific instructions closely, whether it's administering medication, sticking to a particular diet, or maintaining a certain exercise routine. I'm also super attentive and quick to notice any signs of discomfort or distress. Plus, I can send regular updates with photos and videos, so pet parents can see how much fun their furry friends are having! I believe clear communication and genuine care are key to building trust and providing the best possible service. I am currently babysitting 2 family’s, Monday - Thursday. I am also a student but do online school. I do have the weekends completely available. (I also want to point out I have 16 years on pet care experience because I have had dogs throughout my whole life.) When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I start by doing a thorough walk-through of the home with the client to understand their pet's routines, any specific needs, and house rules. This helps me maintain consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I follow the client's instructions meticulously, whether it's regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, or exercise routines. I also pay close attention to the pet's body language and behavior, to ensure they are comfortable and content. To build trust, I interact with the pet in a gentle and patient manner, offering plenty of positive reinforcement and affection. I also respect their boundaries and never force interactions. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.

Caleigh is awesome, highly recommend!! She’s so sweet, nice, and patient with my two cats, trying to know them and respect their own personalities.

Caleigh is also very easy to communicate and accommodate various caring tips for my cats! I am soooooo happy and grateful that I found her! Thank you for taking care of my babies!
Last-minute trip and poor planning on our part, but Victoria came through for us. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our kitties while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Providence is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 26,527 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Providence. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
