“We're just getting started with Leslie, but the first week was great. He pays attention to details, and he's been very flexible about changes in my travel schedule.”
About: Hi! My name is Raphael and I love cats & dogs. I currently have two 7-year-old cats - they are sisters & are named Cherry & Suki - and I also occasionally pet sit my wife’s family’s dog, a Schnoodle named Tisbie. Over the years, I’ve also taken care of many of my friends’ pets in NYC. I’m currently working as an editor for my post-production company as well as freelancing in the film industry, and therefore have flexible working hours and can watch your pets whenever is needed. I have an apartment with a pet safety door between both rooms in case separation is needed as well as an outdoor patio that is fenced.
About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for dogs and puppies across every stage of life — tiny learners discovering the world, energetic adolescents building good habits, and sweet seniors who move at a gentler pace. I’m experienced in training support, reinforcing routines, and providing thoughtful senior care that honors each pet’s comfort, mobility, and dignity. One of my greatest abilities is earning genuine trust. I move with intention, speak softly, and let pets come to me on their own terms. My patience is exceptional — the kind that helps anxious, shy, or cautious animals feel safe enough to open their hearts. Whether I’m guiding a puppy through new skills or supporting an older dog through slow, tender moments, I show up with calm confidence and deep respect. I’ve always believed animals — like children — are some of the world’s greatest gifts. Their honesty, purity, and emotional intelligence inspire me every day. If I could rewrite my career, I’d be a veterinarian. But even as a project manager, my long‑term dream is to work in a field that protects animals and contributes to their preservation. Caring for your pet isn’t just a service to me — it’s a calling. I honor their individuality, their needs, and their spirit with warmth, consistency, and genuine love. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I’m always attentive, present, and able to give pets consistent care, supervision, and guaranteed genuine connection. All I need is my laptop! From anywhere, I create a calm, structured environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow all routines exactly as given, keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and maintain a clean, hazard‑free space. I’m attentive, gentle, and always present — especially since I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. Pets feel safe with me because I move slowly, respect boundaries, and build trust through consistency and patience. As a project manager, structure is very important to me
About: I am my neighborhood’s designated pet watcher and I also own three big dogs of my own. I have experience with very energetic dogs as well as dogs with anxiety. My dog Bear has epilepsy so unfortunately, I am used to giving medication and taking care of his special needs. I am a college student at Columbia University working a part-time remote job this summer with the US government. My schedule is super flexible. I wanted to find another job that I would always enjoy. I am currently working a part-time remote job at a consulting firm this summer. I am a rising junior in college with a car and loads of time. I am willing to drive just about anywhere and make sure your beloved pets are safe while you are away. I am very reliable, prompt and professional.
“As usual, Remy was VERY excited to see Aashree and was perfectly fine when I left him for the afternoon. As long as she’s available, I’ll continue to use her!”
About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.
“Jade & Scotty have been so wonderful. I was so nervous going online and finding someone but knew I had to with my busy schedule. Jade & Scotty made time to come meet Us prior to us booking our first visit. I knew that day this was going to be a great fit. We have had several visits, my dogs love them and they are always sure to give me updates and pictures! When I get home my dogs are calm and happy after their visit and I feel good knowing they are not alone all day!”
“Alyssa is always dependable and goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are cared for. I trust her in my home and feel so fortunate we found her. Having a reliable pet sitter makes travel easier!”
“The best dog sitter we could ask for! Franklin absolutely adores them—on days they aren’t scheduled, he literally waits by the door looking for them. That says it all. Reliable, caring, and clearly someone my dog feels safe and happy with. Couldn’t recommend more highly.”
About: I love all animals, but dogs will always have a special place in my heart! I took care of my own dog for his whole life, and I have been the person people asked to walk their dogs in my neighborhood since I was 11! I love all dogs and have taken care of/walked dogs off all breeds and sizes! I'm currently taking classes part time, so I have plenty of time to walk dogs! My hours are very flexible, so I'll be at your (and your dogs) disposal!! Shorter 15-Minute Puppy/Senior Walks Available too! Need a quick mid-day relief or stretch-and-sniff for your pup? I offer 15-minute express visits for $12. Just message me for a custom booking request! Before every walk, I carefully verify that harnesses, collars, and leashes are correctly fitted and secure. During walks, I avoid high-traffic areas, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs and off-leash pets. I respect your home and follow all entrance/exit instructions closely, including double-checking doors, gates, lockboxes, and alarm systems. Upon returning from a walk, I wipe dirty paws, refresh clean drinking water, administer owner-approved treats or meals, and settle your dog safely back into their designated space. Building trust with you and your pet is my top priority. After every walk, I send a detailed Rover Card with photos and potty stats, so you always have full peace of mind.
About: I've had experience watching, cleaning after, playing, and caring for both large and small dogs at a doggy daycare. I have also rescued and caretake street kittens around my neighborhood. I am interested in working both full-time and part-time. I can do mornings and afternoons almost every day of the week and on weekends. Monday is the only day I am unavailable because of my class. I own a small doodle puppy and a indoor bicolor cat; along with two more cats I've recused and adopted. I take care of them with food, drink, love, and care as if they were my own kids.
“Yasmin was great! My cats normally don’t like strangers, but they warmed up to her very quickly, and she sent me a lot of cute photos and videos of them”
“Lisa is the ultimate bestest of the best! She is a bonafide lover of dogs and take to her like a magnet. She is able to take on my crazy Great Dane in walks and has patience with my pitbull who decides to be a boat anchor on her walks. I trust Lisa with caring for our fur babies and home while out of town. she is ultra-responsible and communicative. Choose Lisa for you dog sitter/walker needs— you will be very glad you did.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs from a young age. My family always deemed me to the go-to when they had to go away and wanted their doggies to be in sweet and well-kept care. I have experience with different breeds, age groups, and attitudes of course. I am currently on a hybrid schedule with my University, which means I am able to do my lessons online or in person. This leaves my schedule free to fit other responsibilities. In my home I try to give the pet the same energy their family gives them at home, if I know their home tends to leave the TV on for them, I will always do that. If it’s a quiet home, we will turn all devices off and make it a laidback spot. In a client’s home, I will follow the same routine instructed by pet owner.
“Hailey came to our rescue with only one week notice during the holiday season! She texted photos and details of her visits every day and followed my many notes. Our cats were shy with her at first, but the Christmas tissue paper we left for them to play with was well clawed up, so they ended up having a great time! Thank you Hailey! ”
“Joanna did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were on a long vacation! She made friends with Max and managed her medication perfectly. I will definitely book her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Bergen
Tatyana was absolutely amazing! Great communication, wonderful pictures & just an amazing person. My dog absolutely loved her. Roxie gave her kisses & rolled over for belly rubs. I was here from California for a wedding & festivities. Tatyana took care of everything & made me so comfortable. She was so flexible & made extra time for us. I'm so appreciative! She is truly amazing! That you, Tatyana!
Vanessa has watched Frankie, our 3-month old mini-Aussie with boatloads of energy, twice now, and both times have been absolutely amazing. Frankie loves getting to play and run around with Vanessa, and has even learned new tricks! We really appreciate Vanessa's time and patience and would recommend her to anyone in need of a caring petsitter!
Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!
Martina took wonderful care of my dogs and gave them the attention they needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d happily book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Bergen is $35 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $50 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.

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.
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.
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
