Rachel was super communicative, on time and went above and beyond our instructions (washed food bowls before and after dinner, washed their water fountain and vacuumed). Would definitely book Rachel again!

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!

Angela deserves her name 100%. She was an Angel” for my kitties and me. She took great care of them and their mishaps while I was away. Very supportive, caring and sweet during the very difficult time of the tragedy of losing my father. Always in my heart! Thank you Angela.

About: I've always been the type of person to greet every living thing with a waving hello to a cow, smiling at the turtles at the pond, and asking your pet's how their day has been. Since I've stared on Rover, I've had the pleasure of meeting many pets through repeated housesitting, and going out for walks. Every pet is unique with their own needs and wants. I'm attentive and pay close attention to any scheduled meal plans, checking in on their stool, and make sure everything is clean. If you ever have any concerns, I'm available to answer your questions :) At the moment I'm available at anytime, so any scheduled weekly routines or long periods of housesitting would work with me. If you have any trips coming up please let me know, I'll be happy to work with you. I see your pets as your family, so I care for them very dearly and make sure they have all the love and attention they need. I'm always taking notice if they want a treat, need a walk, or want some social times with other dogs their size. If they simply need company, I'll make sure they have everything they need, and create a nice, warm, relaxing vibe for them where they feel comfortable. Depending on how you like things to be done, I would love to follow your lead with whatever makes you feel comfortable. I want you to know that you and your pet are in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Janise. Traveling can bring out the best and the worst in anyone and I’m here to make that trip, whether it’s a quick getaway or a long haul, as easy as possible. Let me lend a hand! 🤚🏾 Between me, my husband, our kids, and our dog Frankie, your pet is walking into a full house of love. We have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play while working together as a family to make sure your fur baby gets the attention and love they deserve. Pet care fits in really well with our routine. I work, but I’m in and out of the house throughout the day, and so is my husband and teenage son, so there’s almost always someone around to walk, play with, and check on your pet. Weekends and holidays we’re all home, so your pet will get even more attention those days For boarding, your dog stays right in our home with the family they’ll have a dog to keep them company, a big backyard to run around in, and plenty of attention from all of us. They’re treated like part of the family, not just a guest. For walks, I keep things consistent with whatever routine your dog is used to same schedule, same pace, whatever works best for them. For pick up and drop off, I make sure the handoff is easy and stress free. I’ll communicate with you the whole time so you always know your pet is in good hands

About: I am very reliable, punctual, trustworthy, and flexible! I love dogs, but never had to chance to have one since I grew up with a mom being terrified of dogs. However, that didn't stop me from spending time with dogs and animals outside of my home. I have had some experience volunteering at the local animal shelter in college and have done multiple dog sittings for my friends and neighbors. I already enjoy walking around the city and would love to have your pupper around for additional company! I would love to have the opportunity to care for and provide some love to your pup and keep them happy! I am also currently a PAWS Volunteer in Philly for both cats and dogs. I also can petsit cats too! I will follow all instructions and will adhere to any specific requests you may have for your pet! If I am scheduled off that day, I have the entire day to take care of your pet. Whether it's stopping by the place to change your cat's litter, or walking your dog, I am pretty flexible on the days that I am available. Safety is my number one priority for your pet. I will make sure to adhere to any specific instructions you may have, whether it's keeping your dog away from other dogs, or ensuring your home is appropriately locked up after my visit.

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!

Alena was simply amazing with my cat Athena. She took care of her for over a week and always made sure she was happy and well cared for. After every drop-in, she would let me know how everything went, send me amazing pictures, and provide a detailed update. You can tell Alena truly loves animals. She’s caring, polite, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Athena was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Alena to anyone looking for a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Alena!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals and I wouldn’t want life without them! It’s always my goal to offer peace of mind for pet parents when they are away. I am in school full time and work part time, but have many breaks throughout the day, including time in the mornings and nights, to give your pet all the care and attention it deserves. I am a guest in your home and hold myself responsible for the safety of your pet. I am very clean and organized and will bring that with me!

About: Hi ! my name is Jesse im 28, I have over 15+ yrs taking care of dogs/cats etc; from pet sitting/walking for friends and family as well as previously fostering and used too having fur children of my own💜Its my priority to make them a priority💜 Flea & Tick Prevention Policy For the health, safety, and comfort of every pet in my care, I require all dogs staying for boarding or daycare to be actively receiving flea and tick prevention. Prior to confirming a new booking, I may request some form of verification of current prevention, such as a recent veterinary record, medication receipt, or photo of the current preventative product. This policy is in place as a preventative measure to help maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal staying in my home. Because pets are sharing the same environment, preventing the spread of fleas and ticks is an important part of keeping everyone healthy and comfortable during their stay. My number one priority is making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay—and ultimately goes home just as happy, if not happier, than when they arrived. ❤️ Thank you so much for understanding and helping me maintain a safe and healthy environment for all of my furry guests! 🐾 I have a pretty flexible schedule and for me its an honor and a privilege to spend my time taking care of your sweet fur babies ! taking care of animals is my favorite thing to do and its the best use of my free time, I always want to make time to fit you and your precious babies into my schedule ! 🩷 when caring for your animals its important that im very good and thorough at following instructions and making sure im always paying attention to the animal(s) in more ways then one, as well as making sure they are safe and always properly cared for...as for pet sitting at my place I have alot of space, toys and extra rooms for your fur babies to have their own space if they want it but my home is their home so they can hangout wherever ! they are always welcome to cozy up wherever they please. I also love going to the park and theirs many in my area to choose from for good walks or doggy picnics, with the summer heat im very cautious when walking to make sure doing more frequent short walks instead of long walks to avoid any issues with heat...with cats im down for a chill respectful "stare at eachother from a distance" haha (unless they want cuddles) then my lap or any of my furniture or high up ledges is their throne haha for me the most important thing is that every pet gets treated like their my own and it should feel like a vacation away from home ! always happy to provide constant updated photos/video/facetime etc with you and your fur baby 🩵 im also experienced in giving cats/dogs medicine if they ever need that as well as training in understanding that kind of body language as I have fostered a few animals back to health and just fostered for the sake of doing it, im excited to provide a loving fun get away for your fur baby 🩵 Experienced with -special needs cats/dogs -puppies/kittens -senior animals -cat friendly🐈💜 -rescue animals in training -big dog friendly -pit bull friendly💜 -experience handling multiple dogs/cats at once ( feel free to ask me any questions before booking, your pets needs and comfortability is priority ) Flea & Tick Prevention Policy For the health, safety, and comfort of every pet in my care, I require all dogs staying for boarding or daycare to be actively receiving flea and tick prevention.

Carolina was very polite, sweet, and communicative. When she experienced a commute delay on day one, she was proactive about keeping us updated with frequent ETAs. She was very gentle and clearly cares about animals, though her play style leans more toward calm affection and casual rather than the high-intensity hunting play that our high-drive cat needs. She made a good effort and would be a wonderful match for calmer, affectionate, or senior pets looking for gentle company.

Cannot say enough good things about Sophia. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found her. She takes such amazing care of our little ones — from attending to their litter to playing and giving treats, Sophia is simply the best. And we know our boys feel the same; they love Sophia! It’s truly the best feeling to be able to be away and not worry. Thank you for everything, Sophia!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Bergen

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.

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:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
