“Kourtney is super experienced and great! Kourtney knew exactly how to interact with my foster cat when she first met her, which was a huge relief because my foster was still settling in. She cares so much for my foster cat, so much so that she wants to hear whenever she gets adopted.”
About: I've always loved animals and have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I have my own pets so I know how important is to find someone you can trust with them. I'm happy to walk feed play with and give your pet lots of love and attention. I will treat them like they're part of my own family. I work during the week, but I have time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on what you and your pet need. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’ll follow their normal routine as much as possible, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated so you know they’re doing well.
About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all temperaments and needs. I have two of my own — a 15 year old dachshund (that lives with my mom) and a 5-year-old pitbull and an outdoor Bombay cat, that stay with me. My pitbull struggles with anxiety and can be destructive, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency it takes to care for dogs that may need a little extra attention. Beyond my own pets, I’ve cared for a variety of households: * Pet sitting for 4 Yorkies at once for a week * Managing 2 senior dogs and 2 cats in one home * Drop-in visits for dogs needing company throughout the day * And more.. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and reliable care. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort always come first! My work schedule is Mon & Friday 9am-5:30pm working from home. Depending on the distance I can provide walks/visits during my lunch break from 12pm-1pm and any time after 5:30. Available all day every Saturday and Sunday Open to any accommodations that your pet may need. Drop in visits, pet sitting at my home or your home, daily walks, trips to the park, car rides, whatever you may need I am open to hearing about your needs and discussing what we can do.
About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was five years old, and they’ve always been family to me. Over the years, I’ve raised and cared for dogs through every stage of life—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. As I got older, I naturally became the one fully responsible for their day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, vet visits, and giving extra love and patience as they aged. My dogs lived long, happy lives, and I truly believe that’s because of the attention and love they received. Caring for animals is what I would like to do full-time, and I’m here to support your pet’s routine with consistency and love. I have open availability throughout the week, including some weekends —whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or drop-in visits. Your pet will have my full attention, patience, and care whenever you need it. I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where each animal feels secure and seen. I have a bunny and three birds of my own, so I’m very mindful of maintaining a peaceful, clean space that respects each animal’s needs and energy. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, and I know how to read their cues—whether they need extra play, quiet companionship, or patient attention.
“We have Nicolle drop by 1-2x a week to let our dogs out for an afternoon break and play with them. She's great! The dogs love her and she's very flexible and easy to work with. Will definitely continue to have her drop in and would recommend her for others!”
About: As someone who has had many fur babies, I understand how hard it can be to leave them! My goal is to make that experience less stressful and ensure that you are stress free while away. I have had extensive experience caring for animals ranging from dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, fish, guinea pigs, mice, rats and hamsters. I currently have a cat and guinea pigs but have had all of the prior listed animals at one point or another. I am comfortable doing care for special needs animals and don’t mind the extra time that they need. I am available on short notice and during some odd hours due to grad school. I am a current grad student so I have flexible timing as well as last minute availability. I am available most weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. Given my experience with many pets, I know how to safely handle many species as well as care for cats and dogs. I am also trained in animal cpr and am comfortable dealing with any special needs an animal has as well as any emergencies that may arise.
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and have been around cats my entire life. I currently have three cats of my own, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to work around their routines. I’ll communicate with you throughout the stay and make sure your pet’s needs come first. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they’re in a safe and comfortable environment. I’ll also keep their food, water, walking, and bathroom routines consistent. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with respect.
“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”
About: I’ve recently moved to NJ about two years ago. Prior to moving here, I have walked many many dogs including Great Danes, Samoyed, German Shepherds, Yorkies, etc. On occasion I would cat sit my friend’s cats whenever they go on vacation. I love ALL kinds of animals, but do the best when they’re friendly to humans. Im high energy and like to be out going, so I do prefer dogs with lots of energy to play, walk, or run with! I’m a college student working part time over the summer. Despite that, my job is very flexible and I can move things around to fit whatever works best for you. My Saturday & Sunday are busy from 4pm-11pm and my Mondays and Thursday are busy from 11am-10pm, but I can move things around if needed. I only ask that I would get a week in advance notice! I absolutely love playing with animals. I’m high energy myself and seeing any animals happy makes my heart melt. I would take probably hundreds of photos of the fur balls! I work best with animals that are already tamed or don’t bite. I’m also very good with following any type of instructions and would ask questions to sort out any concerns prior to pet sitting.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, always having a dog and currently caring for four cats. I’ve raised baby kittens, which taught me patience, responsibility, and gentle care. I’m also interested in pursuing a veterinary career, reflecting my commitment to animal well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine through feeding, cleaning, playtime, and quality time. I’m available for boarding on weekends and after 3 PM on weekdays, and I’m flexible to adjust when needed. In my home, I care for pets with patience and genuine love. I take pet care seriously but always make sure animals feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy through consistent routines, attention, and gentle care.
“Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!”
“Jade was so kind and patient with our cat Nutmeg, our feisty girl! Jade sent detailed updates, included pictures and videos; and most importantly, really developed a bond with our cat. Jade is responsive, professional in her communication, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her for your pet!”
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
“Andrew was awesome. He took care of our 2 cats every day and on-time. He provided updates and several pictures of how our cats were doing. This really helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying too much and one of our cats is just 4 months old. He did a great job.”
“Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.”

Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰
Absolute amazing! Super thoughtful in taking care of our cat in our absence😌Sent us tons of photos and videos by our requests to put our minds at ease. She also did great work in cleaning up when our cat makes a mess🥲 Would 100/100 recommend Junhui for our furry friend.
Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!
Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!
naveah was a great care giver for my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while away for work. she’s extremely communicative, prompt, and attentive to my requests and changes to schedule when they arose. grateful to have found her and will be using her services again ✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Arlington is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 27,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Arlington. 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.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
