Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.

Irene was a fantastic cat sitter. She was reliable, communicative and very playful with our cat. She even brought her iPad to entertain our cat with cat games. He alap ate his wet food while she was around, which let us know he felt very comfortable and taken care of by her.

Nicolle did an amazing job doing a lunch time drop-in for our 2 dogs. Playing with them, giving treats and making sure they had a good chance to stretch their legs midday. Hoping to have her come by weekly on a regular basis!

Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!

About: I started working with animals at 18, from dog grooming to caring for friends’ pets. Over time, I learned that every animal has its own personality and needs, and that patience and compassion are key to gaining their trust. Now, as a proud mom of two dogs, my love for animals has only grown stronger, and it inspires me to treat every pet with the same level of care I give my own. currently work at a beauty salon from Tuesday to Saturday, but I have a flexible schedule, especially from Tuesday to Thursday. I’m fully available on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday, I can care for your little ones in the mornings or after 5:00 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are a bit more limited for me, but with advance planning, I’m happy to help. I can take them on walks, assist with feeding, or keep them company at night if they’re home alone. I adapt with love, commitment, and responsibility to their needs. I provide a calm, safe environment with lots of love and patience. I can care for your pet in your home or visit for walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m flexible, respectful of routines, and treat every fur baby like family.

About: I come from a family of veterinarians so I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t around animals or caring for them. I’ve been lucky to have an array of pets including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles and exotic fish. I’m currently in medical school and trying to earn some extra cash. I’m busy during the day due to school, but can study anywhere in the evenings to house sit. I can walk, feed, and keep pet company. I’m used to following long instructions for care, such as, different times and types of medications or supplements that need to be given.

About: Not only have I owned a dog for all of my life but I have also taken care of dogs for a couple of years now. The most I’ve taken care of at a time was 2. I’ve also taken care of puppies and senior dogs. I am a teacher so I’m out of my day job by 3:30 and have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to spend time with your pet. I can also go before my job to walk your pet, feed your pet and spend some time with them. Whenever taking care of pets, I make sure to leash them when walking, watch them when in the yard and ensure safety even in the house. I love on them, I’ll play with them and make them feel super loved while you’re away

About: My love for dogs started growing up with dogs in my family. Now with 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I'm passionate about providing reliable, attentive care for your furry friends. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—from energetic young pups to calm senior dogs. I understand each dog is unique, and I tailor my approach to match their individual personality and needs. Whether it's a quick walk around the neighborhood or a full day of companionship, you can trust that your dog is in safe, loving hands. Pet care is a priority in my routine. I'm flexible with scheduling and available for weekday walks, weekend visits, and overnight care. Whether your pup needs a quick midday walk or full-day companionship, I work around your family's needs. I'm committed to consistency so your dog knows what to expect. Safety is my top priority. For walks, I use quality leashes and stay alert in all conditions. In your home, I respect your space and follow all your guidelines. I provide fresh water, monitor behavior for any concerns, and maintain a calm, secure environment. I'm experienced handling anxious or energetic dogs and always ensure their comfort and safety.

I also own a seven year-old golden retriever that's very docile and she's very sweet to keep your pup company. I have extra food and water bowls, and also crate if needed!

Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Nicole was exactly what we needed! Our pup can be shy, but she immediately loved Nicole, and Nicole quickly mastered all of our girl’s quirks and routines. We can’t recommend Nicole enough!

Oscar might love Pete more than he loves us! He was THRILLED to go over there and spend some time with his best friends. I love that Pete gives us such detailed recaps and pictures - it helps put our minds at ease, and we're always thrilled to see and read how unbelievably happy Oscar is while we're out. He came home exhausted; he tried so hard to keep the party going, but fell asleep very quickly and was out for the night. Thank you so much again, Pete!!

Jadis was an excellent choice to watch my two dogs while I was away on vacation. From the very beginning, she made everything feel effortless…communicating clearly, showing genuine care, and keeping me updated so I never felt unsure about how my dogs were doing. My dogs were calm and happy when I returned, which says a lot about the attention and routine Jadis maintained. I could tell they were comfortable in Jadis’s presence. I’m genuinely grateful to have found someone trustworthy. I’d absolutely book her again for future trips and would recommend Jadis to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in North Arlington on Rover is $20.69 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 26,302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Arlington. 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 North Arlington 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 North Arlington 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 North Arlington 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 North Arlington. 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.
