I am so thrilled to have found Rachel as my kitties’ sitter!!! I just recently learned about this app. I scrolled through a few profiles, and chose Rachel because of her proximity and fabulous reviews. For my first booking, I had her come over to meet my kitties so we become acquainted with her together. I felt immediate comfort with her. My boy cat went up to her right away. He can always tell a person’s vibe from the first moment. She greeted us all with her warm smile, I then showed her around and instructed her on how they like things. She got right to it! She hung out on the floor with them after feeding them and scooping their litterboxes. Because of my anxiety, I have never left my cats alone over night with anyone, but that fear has gone! My family and I are now free to go on vacations and weekend trips together because of Rachel! She sent me pictures of everything she did and documented every step of her visits. When we got back home, I knew my cats were so content that they didn’t even get up from their cat tree to greet us. They looked at us and went right back to sleep. 😆😂😅 Thanks to Rachel, they were well fed and unbothered. 💞 I am looking forward to many more bookings with her!!

Lauryn did a great job taking care of my cats. One of my cats is usually very shy and hides whenever someone visits, but he quickly warmed up to Lauryn and even spent time hanging out with her. This same cat can also create a mess, and Lauryn went above and beyond by cleaning up. Lauryn also shared photos and detailed notes through the Rover card, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated her care and would recommend her!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs and have had them as part of my family ever since I was a kid. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide enjoyable, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. I have a pretty flexible day job, which allows me to easily fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because of that flexibility, I’m also available for pet sitting when needed and can provide reliable care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I am very thorough and make sure each pet has everything they need, including food, water, exercise, comfort, and companionship. I pay close attention to their routines and individual needs, and I always aim to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. I would apply the same level of care, responsibility, and attentiveness to my client’s pets as I do with my own.

She is absolutely the best! She was supposed to drop in for 30 minutes, but she spent several hours and even took my dog to the dog park because she knew I’m overwhelmed with the bar exam and moving🥹🥹🥹 I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of my own and other friends’ pets for several years. I take the time to get to know the pets I work with including what is healthy/enjoyable for them to eat and what activities they enjoy (ex: walks or play with pets). I’ve especially had practice with caring for energetic pets/ puppies. I work part-time as a medical assistant at a derm office, where I work 2-3 days a week. I have a flexible schedule if informed in advance. In caring for pets, I ensure that pets feel both love and comfortable in the environment that they are in whether that be by providing entertainment, lots of love, and a consistent routine. I always follow the rules and routines set forth by pets owners as they are the ones that know their pets the best and what will make their pet happy.

Tori was amazing! She took all the toy carnage my dogs did in stride and cleaned up the necessary stuff. She followed directions, took them for walks, played with them when they had too much energy, and cleaned an accidental pee spot … which I cannot see. I’d hate to highly recommend her, then not be able to book her for dog care in the future ? Seriously? Amazing work. ?

About: I love dogs and understand that yours is part of your family. I have owned dogs for over 18 years (male german shepherd mix and female pitbull) and I know what makes them tick! I have experience walking fussy/reactive, even aggressive dogs, both big and small. I just can’t live without them. With reasonable notice, I am available pretty much all day long for dog walks and sits. I can always easily adjust my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to last minute arrangements. No issues moving dates around if my calendar is open. I have a fenced in yard and the house is plenty spacious. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

About: Hi my name is Elle. I am an animal lover, advocate, and a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and have had a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. I have boarded dogs for both short-term and long-term stays (months to years). I understand the unique needs of different breeds and adjust care accordingly. I understand dog behavior, and needs-your dog is family, and I treat them as such. Full-Time, Dog Care - A Safe, Loving Home for Your Dog. Dog boarding is my full-time work and passion —caring for dogs is not a side job but a choice l've committed to for years. I provide round-the-clock care, ensuring every dog in my home is safe, happy, and well-cared for. I board a maximum of 1 dog at a time. My own dog is calm, friendly, and never interfere with your dog's care. All walks are on-leash, and I do not socialize your dog with outside dogs or humans unless instructed. Photo updates at least 3 times daily - so you can feel connected to your dog while you're away. I strictly follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, play preferences, and routines and only feed the food you provide, ensuring your dog's diet remains consistent.

About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I was born. 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 dogs, and then it lead into feeding them and eventually I took it upon myself to walk them. 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 very accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply the same 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 a bad vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort with the dogs I 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 use the bathroom 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 want to take care of others! 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.

I will walk them or take them out before I leave if needed. I can give medications or insulin shots if needed. I also have experience with administrating an inhaler to a cat with asthma. I can also take any type of safety precautions if needed such as closing gates, fences, doors and putting away hazardous objects or food. If they need to go in the kennel before I leave the home, I will gladly do so and be responsible of that!

About: I'm Back and Excited to Care for Your Fur Babies!! 🐾 After taking some time away to help my daughter with my new grandchildren, I'm excited to be back on Rover! Caring for animals has always brought me so much joy, and I'm looking forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home. I've had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I recently lost my sweet dog of 15 years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I promise to care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Why pet parents choose me: ❤️ Loving, calm, home environment 🐶 Pets are welcome on my couch and bed (unless you prefer otherwise!) 🐱 Experienced with both cats and dogs 💊 Comfortable giving oral medications 🏠 Pet-friendly building with great walking areas nearby 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing 🛏️ Large 42-inch crate available if your dog is crate-trained 🐈 Large litter box available for feline guests My Schedule I work Monday through Thursday about 20 minutes from home, so I come home at lunchtime for potty breaks and walks when needed. On Fridays I work from home, and I'm home most weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention and companionship. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playing, cuddling, relaxing, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work Monday - Thursday 9 to 5 twenty mins from home so I can come home at lunchtime to walk or feed your fur baby if necessary and I work from home on Fridays! I also wake up at 6 am every day so I can walk and/or feed your pet before I leave to work Mon-Thurs. Friday - Sunday I am home all day. I love snuggling and playing with pets so they can hop on the couch or bed with me or I can easily crate your dog if needed! I have waterproof protective pet covers on my furniture so that's all covered! Additionally, My dog had health issues so I got pretty good at giving him his pills with pill pockets etc! I also have my own large dog crate (42 inches). So no need to bring a crate if your dog requires a crate! I also have a large kitty litter tray.

Tez is amazing! My cats were feral, so they take some time for them to warm up to people and Tez has taken her time over the years to become best friends with them. We can barely pick up our cats and she was just recently able to pick up one of them so I think that speaks volumes to how good she is with cats. She has also been super nice in watering our plants a few times and bringing up our packages while we are away. I highly highly recommend Tez, your cats are missing out if you’re not using her as a sitter! One of our cats was even on Lexapro for some time and Tez was really good with giving him pills.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in North Bergen on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 27,832 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Bergen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Bergen stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
