“Emily did a fantastic job house-sitting Beau! She went above and beyond and made sure he got his energy out on long walks and during multiple play sessions. Beau loved her. She also kept our apartment super clean for when we returned. We're so glad we found Emily and will gladly work with her again!”
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease. It honestly seemed like Winnie had the best time with her—I’m not even sure she missed us! She was also so respectful of our apartment. It’s such a relief to come home to a happy pup and a home that’s just as clean as we left it. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Winnie!”
“Alena is the best! She takes such good care of my puppy, and he loves spending time with her. She has taught him many new tricks, as well as helped with basic training. Highly recommend Alena as a trustworthy and competent dog sitter”
“Jose took care of my dog, Yogi, for three days and stayed at my home while I was away. He was very responsive throughout the entire stay and consistently kept me updated with photos and messages from Yogi’s morning and evening walks. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Yogi was being well cared for. Everything went smoothly, and Yogi was happy and comfortable when I returned. I really appreciated Jose’s communication, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Deborah is very professional and absolutely the sweetest person I've met. She's naturally great with dogs and was very understanding and caring with my senior dog Bella as well as Hendrix who's bashful at times.They gravitated to her almost instantly! She always kept me updated with pictures and timeline walks with them. I definitely will have her care for my pups in the future! Thanks again Deborah.. much appreciated 🥰”
About: I've been a cat and dog owner since I was 7, I always loved animals and I have been through many stages of learning about them. In my life I've had more cats that I rescued from the streets to adopt them and give them a fair life, and with dogs I have the patience to understand them and emphatize with them to become their friend. I'm a student and part time worker looking for a new experience in my life and some new ways of having extra income to survive the city and pay for my own bills. I have a lot of extra time after classes and also some weekends and I'm willing and excited to make this work. I will follow instructions of the owner for extra care and will also add my extra attention to the pet I'm taking care of.
“Adeib was a great dog sitter! He stayed in my apartment and cared for my dog very well, following all instructions and communicating all throughout the stay. He welcomed my overly detailed instructions and sent pictures to updated me. I felt so confident that my dog was well cared for and would absolutely book him again!”
“Mike was our very first Rover experience, and I'm so glad we found him. He stayed at our home and took such good care of our dog and cat, sent frequent updates and photos, and was so communicative and kind. Our animals seemed very happy for all the round the clock care and attention he gave them, and it was such a relief to have them in good hands. Highly recommend Mike, and hope to have him back to take care of our animals again in the future!”
About: I grew up with a dog so I have lots of personal experience. I also had a dog walking/pet sitting job so I have professional experience as well! I have 2+years of cat sitting experience too. I don’t have a set schedule as of yet but I’m usually always available, I keep my availability updated on a regular basis and will let you know if I’m available. I care for pets in the client’s home based on what’s needed/requested of me. I always make sure to follow the instructions left for me and I make sure the pets in my care are safe and comfortable!
“Zuleyka was amazing! Spontaneous, very communicative and she handled the pups so so well! Thank you for taking such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dogsitter :)”
About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.
“We'd give 10 stars if that was an option. Alitha did everything we discussed and more. She took care of our Golden Retriever and cat and stayed in our home with them for 10 days. Her daily texts and pictures showed that the animals were happy and well-cared for. It was obvious that she was not only caring for them, but really spending time with them as her messages were always specific to the personalities and actions of each of them. Our dog takes medication daily, and we had complete confidence in Alitha. When we returned, the animals were calm and happy and the house was spotless. We plan to rebook Alitha again and again. The highest of recommendations to this fabulous, sweet, intelligent sitter.”
“Jean was super attentive to our senior cat! He was great with all his meds. He sent us photos and videos everyday and kept our mind at ease so we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was cared for. Highly recommend Jean! Will definitely rebook.”
“Dayshalis was great.. Came over to meet my dogs for a meet and greet. Then, day of, sent us pictures and let us know what was going on. Overall, a great experience. Thank you again!”
About: I've been around pets my entire life -- all 37 years. I've had dogs (had 4 at once at one point!), 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 7 hamsters, and 2 birds. I love animals so much. My oldest dog lasted until he was 17 years old! He was the goodest boy. I currently have a Pit Bull and a rescued outdoor (now Indoor cat). I'm a full-time notary, but make my own schedule. So, I have plenty of leeway to make time to care for your furry loved ones. Pets >>> Notary :D I have two pets at home, so my care would be only in your home. But I have a car to take dogs on rides if that's what they like to do!
“Chandler did a great job looking after our pup! She was responsive, sent good updates and took great care of our home. Will definitely reach out next time we’re out of town.”
“Yasmin took great care of my dog and cat. They sent updates daily, I never worried about them. I came home to two very happy animals! Would definitely recommend and will be booking again.”

We reached out to Monique last minute to help us and she was a life saver! Our puppy loved her and we loved her for putting up with us! She was so accommodating especially because we had to have her watch our loud little guy in a hotel room while we went out. She eased his anxiety and ours and really allowed us to enjoy our mini vacation! Thank you!
Kizzy was absolutely wonderful with Dante and Spanky! She took such great care of them, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. She was caring, responsible, communicative, and sent updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Kizzy and would definitely trust her with Dante and Spanky again.
Annie did such a wonderful job caring for our pup, Chip! She was very kind and attentive, keeping us updated throughout the day with photos and videos. Chip was so happy to spend time with her and we felt confident with Chip in her care for the day. Thank you, Annie!! :)
Bria watched our senior dog, Winnie, for 1 night and was absolutely amazing!! She was very communicative before the booking and during her time with Winnie. She sent lots of pics and videos and followed all the care instructions to a T! We really felt like Winnie was in good hands. Thank you so much, Bria!! I will definitely book again!
Nataly was absolutely outstanding. From the moment she met our animals, she was kind, compassionate, and clearly was experienced in caring for animals. She sent us picture updates numerous times a day, was always ready to answer any questions, and went above and beyond in making sure our pets were happy. You should hire her!!!
Linda was absolutely amazing with our senior King Charles. He liked her right away and it was the first time I’ve left him and not felt guilty and worried. She was so sweet and attentive with him and sent me updates and pictures several times a day- he looked so happy in all of them! I highly recommend!
We were in town for a couple of weeks and were grateful to have connected with Lorraine. She was sooo good with our little dog that just needed a friend to hang out with as we went out at night from time to time. We will certainly hope to reconnect with Lorraine next time we are in town. I highly recommend her!
My experience with Alitha was wonderful. My anxious and fearful dog took a liking to her immediately. I have never left him with anyone outside of our household, so I was very nervous. Alitha put me right at ease with her lovely demeanor. She sent me updates throughout the day and she made it possible for me to enjoy my daughter's wedding knowing Henry was in very capable and loving hands.I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Bergen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Bergen on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Bergen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Bergen walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Bergen maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
