I have always enjoyed being around animals especially Dogs🐶 growing up my family and I had all breeds of dogs (Havanese, Pitbull, Cocker spaniel, Rottweiler💙 caring for them throughout the years has taught me many skills that I will bring into my Dog-Walking and Drop-In experiences Thankfully as an RN, I have a flexible work schedule. Making it easy to add a hobby I have always wanted to do in my spare time, DOG-WALKING! I will be there Rain or Shine ☀️⛅️🌧️☔️🌈 Yo Hablo Español 🙂 We have Freddy our Beagle who is 2years Old and FULL OF ENERGY!! 🐶 As a dog owner, I understand that Safety is Always First when going for walks around town.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 11. I’ve had many cats, dogs, rodents, fish and reptiles in my care over the years, yours will be in caring hands! I’m working as a caregiver part time so I have good availability for pet care. Weekdays: early am-4pm Weekends: early am-10pm After hours available in request I start with a meet and greet, either via video chat or in person to make sure we’d be a good fit and take notes on everything you need me to know about caring for your pet.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have always had animals in my life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have a 9-year-old golden retriever named Kelso, who has been pretty much everywhere with me! He’s traveled to nearly 10 countries and is both a service dog and a therapy dog. We’ve also spent years volunteering together at different organizations, which has been such a rewarding experience. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from the little ones to the extra-large ones! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’ve also been on the other side of Rover as a pet owner! I’ve used Rover for Kelso when I’ve had to travel somewhere he couldn’t come along, so I completely understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone you don’t know. Trusting a stranger with a member of your family isn’t easy, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident that they’re in good hands. Please know that I would care for your pets just as I would my own. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, happy, comfortable, and getting all the love and attention they’re used to while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give you one less thing to worry about when you’re away! I work remotely and have the flexibility to make my own schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! Dogs will always be leashed outdoors and cared for in a safe, loving environment. My nine-year-old golden retriever is incredibly gentle and friendly with other dogs. As a lifelong dog mom, I have plenty of experience and will treat your dog with the same love, attention, and care as my own.
About: I have been caring for pets for my whole life. Not only have I cared for my own dog, I have also been trusted with my friends, families, and neighbors pets. I will value your pets safety, and comfort in all situations. I’m a college student, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to care for your pets! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I’ll follow whatever routine you normally have for them and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away.
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.

“Emma was amazing with Bronson. She took great care of him while we were away and he was happy and relaxed when we got home. He loved her from their first meet and greet, so we felt very comfortable leaving Bronson with Emma. We would be happy to use Emma again and recommend her to others.”

About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I also have experience working with horses, which has strengthened my confidence & awareness when handling animals. I'm currently working toward a career in dog training and have cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs through both professional experience and years of pet sitting. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (9 AM-3:30 PM), with occasional Fridays until 2:30 PM. I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.
About: Since I was born I have been in a house with at least two pets ranging from two cats at a time, 2 dogs, and a mix of both! I learned how to train and take care of a 3 month old puppy as well as how to administer pills and medicine to dogs who are getting older. I’ve always been around pets and love how much love they show us in return. During the summer, I’m free every day all day! I’ll be working full time and will be able to give my undivided attention to your furry friend. I’ve had a lot of pet caring experience such as going into friends and family’s homes to take care of their pets. I often find it better as the pet is more comfortable and makes it easier to be hanging out with a stranger! However I am happy to host pets as well which can allow more flexibility for you!
“Great communication while one the walk and took pictures of my puppy all happy on his walk. Also responded quickly and was available on short notice. Definitely would use again and recommend!”

Kaylee has watched over our pup Louie a couple of times now and we couldn’t be happier. She is clearly a pet lover and treats our baby as if he was her own. She sends updates and pictures, ensures that any concerns are addressed, and keeps our house as neat as she found it. We would highly recommend Kaylee for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Vernon is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 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 25,968 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Vernon. 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 New Vernon. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
