About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“My elderly temperamental dog loved her time with Adeib. She immediately took to him, something that rarely happens. He kept me regularly up to date and I think the two of them had a great time. Would definitely book with Adeib again.”
“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!”
“Bria was an absolute dream. We had originally booked her for 10 days to stay at our home with our cat and dog, but was totally amendable to adding my parents dog as well. She sent us daily updates and I could tell from the photos and videos that our babes were acting as they would when we're home, which is the best feeling in the world. We will absolutely be working with her going forward. Nothing is more reassuring when you're away then knowing your babies are cared for!!”
About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I could remember. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over my own dog, and then it lead me into walking my neighbors dogs and eventually I took it upon myself to walk others in the neighborhood. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply this for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business. Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch an unapproachable vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort and confidence with the dogs I will work with, considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they are able to do their business enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally. To do what needs to be done to make sure our pups are well taken care of! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
“Emily was fantastic. She was prompt and reliable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She kept me updated with great photos throughout, and it was clear Nova was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, she followed all instructions closely and made the whole experience seamless.”
“Amazing! I couldn’t recommend Alitha more. She stayed with our dogs at our house for more than a week over Christmas: they absolutely loved her and we wouldn’t want to leave our babies with anyone else honestly. Couldn’t thank her enough! She took such great care of them”
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal. I’ll make SURE everything is ok 👍🐾🍇🌞 My schedule is completely open, so I can work at whatever hours are good for you. I provide all services except for taking care of pets in my house. I care for pets by making a connection with them, keeping them within there barriers and keeping an eye on them at all time. Ok
“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”
“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”
“Alex came to our home to sit with our Ridgeback. He was on time and very attentive to Bodhi. He sent us videos and pictures throughout the day. Bodhi is a reserved dog but Alex made very effort to win him over. I would highly recommend him and will certainly use him again.”
“Joy is super great! She came to stay with my kitty, Mel, while I went out for a few hours. Mel loved her and she even got a video of him curling up in her lap. So sweet. Joy has a wonderful personality. One that is perfect for caring for our pets - she has a calming and caring way about her. I took to her right away and knew Mel was in good hands. I will definitely ask Joy to come back and Mel.”
“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”
“Stephanie was kind and caring - she did a great job taking care of both our animals and our house. She even got our shy one to eat! Thank you so much for granting us peace of mind while we were out of town. Our girls had a great time and we would definitely use her again!”
“Michele was great! My cat, Piper, warmed up to her immediately, and Michele was very mindful of keeping Pipers schedule and routines. Would definitely book with her again”
“T was kind, respectful, and took care of our home and our dog throughout the stay. Our biggest concern was communication and the assessment of an injury our dog sustained while we were away. Our dog’s paw injury resulted in an emergency vet visit and required stitches. We understand accidents happen, and we appreciated the steps T took to care for the injury. However, while we were traveling internationally, we struggled to get clear photos and details about the injury despite multiple requests, and it took until the following day to understand the severity of the injury. This made it difficult for us to make timely decisions while traveling internationally. We appreciated the care she provided afterward, but pet parents booking may want to have very clear conversations about emergency situations and communication expectations before booking.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Bergen
Nishita was genuinely one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! She took care of my cats while house sitting for several days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly responsive, patient with all of their individual needs, and proactive about communicating with me throughout the stay. She regularly kept me updated on how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, it was very clear that she treated my cats with genuine kindness, care, and love. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I would absolutely recommend Nishita to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring cat sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!
Desiree was awesome! My 8 month old pitbull puppy jojo can be a total handful but Desiree was perfect for her - was very high energy and absolutely great with dogs. Jojo loved her! And I felt so comfortable leaving jojo in such capable hands. I knew jojo was going to have a great time. Desiree was also very communicative the entire stay. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone!
Randy is proactive, thoughtful and goes above and beyond...but, the most important measure for us is how Boomerang, our senior dog (with anxiety issues) fared under Randy's care when Randy house sat with him. Through patience, experience and careful attention, Randy successfully eased Boomerang's anxiety and to our very pleasant surprise, Boomerang was able to sleep, ate a few bites and went for a walk. Randy cleaned up after Boomerang when he used his wee wee pad - above and beyond. Thank you, Randy!
Sarah was wonderful with Scooby, as always! She kept me super updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Scooby seemed so happy and comfortable with her and clearly had a great time. It’s such a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with Sarah. I’m always happy to have her look after him and would highly recommend her!
Lawrence took great care of my 6 months old puppy while I was traveling abroad for a week. He was also communicative and quickly responsive whenever I reached out or he had an update. I definitely recommend his services and would gladly book him again in the future.
Honestly, one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had! She was truly such a sweetheart and took amazing care of my dog. She was incredibly responsive, was able to come last minute, and sent me tons of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
This was our second time having Hannah watch our two senior dogs. She is very kind, personable and very communicative. Hannah is very proactive in sharing updates and photos of our doggos which we very appreciate. One of our dogs takes 4 medications and she navigated that very well. She sent pictures before administration to make sure everything is correct. Thank you Hannah!
We were able to enjoy our vacation without a worry because of Alene’s excellent attention to our two cats while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Not only did she arrive on time each day and feed the cats and clean their litter boxes, she also spent time with them and even watered the plants. Alene is very honest and conscientious. She made sure the house was secured whenever she left and sent daily pictures of our happy pets. Our cats quickly grew close to her and I think the girl cat wanted to go home with her when we returned. It was a great overall experience.
Alexis was fantastic and went above and beyond in taking care of our senior pug and senior pug-mix! We couldn’t have left them in better hands - we got plenty of pictures and updates, and our home was seriously cleaner than when we left it! Will definitely be asking Alexis back, and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a responsible, responsive, and loving pup sitter!
Vanessa was amazing! My wife and I wanted to go out of town on short notice, and looking on Rover for someone we found Vanessa. She made us feel confident from the moment we met her that our dogs would be in good hands. She followed every instruction we had to the letter, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates on our dogs. She was even able to walk all three of them at one time, which is an impressive feat considering they are all over 70 pounds. We will definitely be using Vanessa again, and if you're looking for someone to watch your dogs we couldn't recommend Vanessa more!
Kerra was so wonderful. We were in a last minute bind and she responded quickly. She was confident and so communicative about our two dogs (one who is a senior) that we immediately felt that they were in great hands. She sent updates and kept us in the loop. Makes a lot of sense that she has many incredible reviews and we know who we will be calling next time we need a dog sitter! Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Bergen on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 19,329 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Bergen. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
