“As always, we had a great experience with Rachel! She took great care of our cats and even cleaned up any messes they made. We really appreciated the detailed Rover cards with updates and pictures after each visit—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was also very communicative and responsive throughout. Our cats love Rachel too. Would definitely book Rachel again!”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was a child. I have always loved dogs and cats and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I studied Veterinary Assistant in my home country and worked for one year at a veterinary clinic. This experience taught me how to care for animals, pay attention to their behavior, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. I currently have a 2-year-old rabbit and a 3-year-old turtle, so caring for animals is an important part of my everyday life. I have a pet in Colombia whom I miss very much, and spending time with animals here brings me a lot of happiness. This is one of the reasons I decided to join Rover. I would love to spend more time with animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away. 🐶🐱🐰❤️ I currently work from 7 AM to 4 PM, so I am available for pet care before or after work depending on the service and location. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I have much more flexibility and can spend the whole day with your pet. I am happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions about feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also keep their space clean and organized. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their family is away. I want them to feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable in their own home. 🐾❤️

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: Hudson county especially North Bergen!!! if you’re looking for someone with competitive prices to walk or check in with your pet I am your girl!!!! What sets me apart from other sitters is that my prices are considerable. I want people on a tight budget to be able to have the luxury of pet care without stressing about the price. I also not only have experience with dogs and cats I have experience with other small household pets so nothing is too out of the ordinary or too much to handle for me!! I am also a diehard pet lover! Another detail is that I’m very into dog breeds, I’ve been studying different breed temperaments and needs am able to understand what each one requires. Would mean the world to me to trust me with your babies as someone just starting out on rover!!!! Currently working part time to be able to fit in college and other job. Will go anywhere from North Bergen weehawken Union City West New York Hoboken Guttenburg and possibly Jersey city depending on how deep in!! Available Monday through Thursday anywhere from 11am to 4pm for drop ins and walking. Hours might change so hours will be spoken about when booking. I am willing to be pretty flexible and able to work or accommodate when needed and if able to. Will NOT offer services during holidays!!! I’m very committed to keeping your pets enriched and safe while also making sure their needs are met when they are walking or being checked upon!

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.

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’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My grandmother had a special gift for rescuing stray dogs and cats, giving them the love and care they needed, and finding them forever homes. Growing up with her, there were times when our home was filled with 8 dogs and 5 cats, which gave me a lifelong love and deep appreciation for animals. I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and know how important it is to recognize signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet as an individual and strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel happy and cared for. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and compassion. I have an open schedule. So I am open to most requests, just need a few days notice before accepting your beloved pet in my home. I have a fenced house. There are no other dogs in the block so there won’t be no barking wars or intimidation when the pups go outside. I do have a cat in the home. I have a flexible schedule as a work freelance so I can adapt to the needs of each individual pet and owner. I have a 11 year old boy who is gentle and kind and has been around pets since he was born.

Rachel is the best! I typically have a family member watch my two cats while I’m away, so this was new for me to trust someone I did not know with my two little loves. Rachel went above and beyond, in every way. My Rover Card was so descriptive and included tons of pictures. She took better care of my apartment than even I do, haha! An absolute pleasure to communicate with, and so receptive to adjusting to some unexpected speed bumps. She takes her responsibility very seriously and that offered me the peace of mind that I needed while being away. Thank you again Rachel!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - North Bergen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Bergen is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $47 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.

As of November 2026, there are 27,811 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Bergen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Bergen. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
