About: I have experience with brachiocephalic breeds as I have three of my own! I have experience working as a Dog Handler at a popular doggy daycare who handled up to 30 dogs. I have experience with puppies and seniors with arthritis. I’m currently working full-time as a Medical Assistant at an Urgent Care and have a few days off during the week where I can fit walking your pup at a daily! I am very careful with anything that is laying out when it comes to my puppers especially living with two pugs who will eat anything and everything!
“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She not only cared for them with so much love, but also paid attention to little details I hadn’t even mentioned. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. Truly grateful for her care!”
About: Give your pets the Excitement and Excersize they need. I can guarantee long walks, safe trips, and fun filled time. I am patient, loving, gentle and outgoing with my furry friends. As they are a member of your family they are treated as such in my home. Giving them the time and attention they deserve they will have so much fun with me, they will not even realize they left home. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for several years for close friends and relatives so i do know that some dogs need special attention.With your busy schedule and my love for our furry friends lets make life alittle more stress free by putting the paws of our pets in the right hands. Any specific routes they like to take, any favorite parks? Let me know and i will be happy to accomodate. I look foward to meeting you and your loved one When I don't have a booking on Rover, I do deliveries, which I make.my.own schedule on. This means when I have a booking I am not doing deliveries I am either in my home or yours with your pet the entire stay. When I have a stay or a sitting I stay with your pet the entire time unless I have a quick errand to run. If the dog can fit in a carry bag I take them with me everywhere unless they have travel anxiety. If I have to leave I put the TV on so they hear something happening in the background and don't feel alone. They are allowed on my furniture and most likely will sleep on my bed. When I have a Drop in if the dog is in a cage I let them out to play, feed them and provide water. After they are done I'll clean their bowls. If they are in a cage I put them back in and secure the cage. I follow any instructions that are provided by the owner. When I have walks I follow the lock box instructions, enter the home slowly and make sure not to open the door wide in case of any loose pets. If they are caged I find the leash and harness and let them out to put it on. Follow any walking instructions given by owner such as triggers, keeping on a tight leash, distraction from other dogs with positive reinforcement and treats etc. If their are cage instructions I follow them as well. Any service provided, there is garunteed great energy given to your pet through the entire booking.
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether it was at my grandmothers house or down the street at the neighbors, I have always been the first one my loved ones call to feed, walk, and cuddle dogs, cats, and any other pet under the sun. I have been around animals my entire life, starting with frequently visiting & caring for my brothers dog when I was just 10 years old. I began pet sitting in middle school, and then this passion grew into my summers at college. I often watch my friends pets in the city when they’re away on trips & am now looking to expand my animal-loving world through Rover. I enjoy taking long walks through the parks, playing outside in the grass, discovering new games, balancing exercise with rest & treats, bathing & lots + lots of cuddles :) Currently I am working part time & remotely, so I have super open + flexible availability! Most of the work I do can be done on my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to make for your pet! Weekends are also generally a great time for me as well. I am happy to oblige to any house rules you may have for your furry friend! (ie on or off furniture, caging around bedtime, feeding/treat schedule etc.)
“Valerie is a wonderful person and care giver. My cat actually looked behind me for Valerie. My cuddles has never been interested in watching TV before. But Valerie found a channel on YouTube for him. She sent me pictures of him watching a cartoon fish program. She maintained his liter box and his feeding to perfection. It's no small feet to trust .”
“This man is the perfect sitter. In fact, he goes over and beyond the call of duty with regard to punctuality, professional manner and knowledge of cats and their behaviors. Aside from the maintenance issues like food, water, litter, etc., he spends considerable, gentle time engaging with the pet with play and -- if the pet isn't too shy -- affection. I highly recommend his services. DSB”
About: Hello!! I am an absolute dog lover, I’ve dog-sit for friends and family including feeding, walking, and playing with their animals! Im very attentive to detail and making sure feeding and walking stays consistent with their daily schedule. I have experience with very high energy dogs as I’ve primarily taken care of dogs from the range of 1-3 years old. I’m free all days of the week from early mornings to late evenings. I am also available to do multiple walks throughout the day if needed. While I am not providing care in my own home I would typically clean up, make sure there is nothing that is of danger to the dogs. I also will remove any food or drink off my counters, typically for the larger dogs that may be able to reach them.
“Ambroja is a fantastic sitter - she jumped in on short notice to care for my cat Birdie when I had to travel for work. She is communicative and goes above and beyond in her sitting duties. I knew Birdie was in good hands with her!”
About: I have have dog sat my neighbors dogs since I could remember. I enjoy taking them on walks and engaging with them physically so they can be happy doggos. I currently work Part time so hopefully during my day I can meet your lovely pet(s) and give it all the TLC it needs. I know how important it is to exercise and get that energy out of your furry friend! My Boston Terrier can keep your doggy company. I am always stocked with food and doggy treats and plenty of toys as well. I exercise my dog on a daily basis.
“Stephanie has been absolutely amazing looking after our two cats whilst we’ve have been away on vacation - she is so reliable, trustworthy and kind. She is also amazing at keeping us updated with her detailed reports and photos. The cats have loved having her come in every day! We will definitely have Stephanie come back and look after them when we next go on vacation. We would 100% recommend her!!”
“Javier took great care of my cat for two weeks and was always kind, reliable, and responsible. I truly appreciate his dedication and would definitely ask for his help again. Highly recommended.”
“Mari was great to work with. It was my first time using Rover and I'm happy that I chose Mari. She asked me a lot of great qualifying questions about my pet and how I'd like the service to be handled. And then she followed through with all of the directions I provided. My cat Randy warmed up to Mari right away, which I could tell from the photos and video she sent to me once the stay started. I would highly recommend Mari for any of your pet sitting needs and I'll rely on her again when needed. Thanks Mari!”
About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my cat Himi while I was away for a week. In addition to taking care of the cat, she responds to messages promptly and left the house neat and tidy. I would trust her with my cat again any time!”
About: Hello my name is Jose but I rather be called JC. I’ve been a dog walker for 5 years now. I have two dogs so I know how to deal with more than one dog while walking around. I usually walk around my dogs around riverside or central park cause it open and has a lot of fresh air. I’m not used to house sitting but I'm willing to but a week in advance. I'm also not used to taking care of cats but if needed I will take care of only hypoallergenic cats. (just in case I'm allergic) I love animals of all shape and sizes and I'm looking forward to anyone that is looking for my services. 3 word to best describe me will be responsible, reliable, and punctual.
“Selina was wonderful! I appreciated her detailed updates and cute photos and videos. My cat clearly loved her which is always a huge relief. I would definitely book again!”
“Lana was a loving mom to our cat Aeva! Lana not only gave food and cleaned poop, she played and spoilt Aeva until she purred contentedly... Lana even visited her twice on a day where she had a family event and is not business minded whatsoever!”

Nicole was wonderful during her drop in with our 4 yr old Samoyed. Our pup instantly took to her and Nicole was so kind, patient with her barking, and very attentive to our routine. She is super communicative, punctual, and gave our pup all of her attention. We had peace of mind that our pup was safe and will definitely book Nicole again!
Elise is so thorough and patient with our energetic little pup! Finn can be a handful and Elise was so great about following the training outlines we had in place for him, and giving him lots of love and fetch. She also kept us updated regularly. He already can't wait to see her again soon!
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! We have two senior dogs, so we’re pretty particular about their care, and Hannah was incredibly gentle, attentive, and thoughtful with them. She was always right on time, very responsive, and kept us well updated throughout her stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and well cared for. We felt at ease knowing they were with her and would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!
Bridget is an amazing dog sitter! I really appreciate her attention to detail and the thoughtful care she gives my dog. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly takes her role seriously. I always feel confident knowing my dog is in such great hands. Highly recommend Bridget!
Collin is awesome! He’s really thoughtful and offered to meet my puppy before the Rover booking date (without me even suggesting this). He’s super communicative if there are any time conflicts and leaves great notes about how my puppy did during his visit. 10/10 would recommend!
Jonathan was punctual and arrived exactly on time. Whenever he needed to adjust the schedule, he communicated proactively and made sure we found a solution that worked for both of us. Most importantly, he took great care of our puppy. Nori warmed up to him immediately, and they got along very well. It was clear that he genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after while we were away. Thank you, Jonathan!
Luz is an amazing pet sitter. She is very sweet with our French Bulldog and British Short Hair. She is extremely professional, courteous, and clean! She communicates professionally as well. We have booked with Luz multiple times and will definitely book with her again in the future. I can’t recommend her enough.
Devin is SO incredibly kind and gave our dog Hampton so much love and care during her visit with him. 🩷 She was so attentive to our dog’s needs, sent us photo updates, and really put her heart into looking after him, which is all a dog owner could ever wish for! She has such a kind and gentle nature and we loved having her watch Hampton for us. So grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking again soon! ✨
Ryota has been walking my 18-year-old dog, Bambi, every weekday for the past month, and I can’t recommend him enough. Bambi has trouble walking and has several health issues, and he has always been so patient, kind, and attentive with her. He’s consistently punctual, reliable, and flexible when I need to adjust the schedule. Knowing Bambi is in such good hands gives me so much peace of mind and has made a huge difference in my day-to-day life. I’m incredibly grateful for all the care he gives her.
Rachel was an amazing pet sitter for my babies! When I arrived home, everything was spotless, clean, and well taken care of. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly received lots of love and attention while I was away. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

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 Bergen 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.

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.
