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.

I am so grateful for Lauryn watching my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, and she provided me lots of peace of mind since this was my first time leaving my cat home alone. I think my cat really liked her, because he would be meowing at me angrily if he didn’t. He seemed to adjust pretty well. Thank you again Lauryn ??????

Would definitely recommend Angela, very professional. I was always updated and knew that my cat had fresh food/ water and his litter box was clean. He usually makes a mess on the floor when he eats - after a week everything was sparklingly clean. My hamster also had his fresh meals regularly and Angela daily washed his sleeping / toilet area.

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.

About: There are many dogs in my family and so I have had quite the experience with them, during all stages of life. Now, it’s been a few years with my own pup and making the most of every day and walk with him. I hope to be able to do the same for other families! I have my own dog, a mini poodle who is now 6 years old. As such, I am used to pet care on the daily. I put a strong priority on safety and trust with your pet and family. While caring for a pup while in your home, I will abide by respectful rules and whatever is asked of me!

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 have been surrounded by pets and caring for them since I was a child. For years, I’ve been the go-to trusted pet sitter for my family, cousins, and neighbors, helping them feed, walk, and look after their furry friends. Currently, I am the proud owner and primary caretaker of my dog, Jet. Having my own pet has taught me so much about routine, patience, and the unique needs of dogs. I will treat your pups with the exact same love, dedication, and attention that I give to my own. I currently balance my schedule with flexible part-time commitments, which gives me plenty of open hours and flexibility to dedicatedly look after your pups. I have ample time throughout the week for structured walks, engaging playtime, and maintaining their usual feeding routines without any rush. Whether it is providing dedicated care during the day or keeping them active, my schedule allows me to be highly attentive and completely present for your dog's daily needs. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I provide a highly secure, welcoming, and loving environment where your furry family member will feel right at home. I make sure to closely supervise all activities, follow your specific house rules, and strictly adhere to any feeding, walking, or medical guidelines you provide. Your dog will receive constant attention, care, and a safe space to feel completely comfortable, happy, and loved while you are away.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a trusted pet sitter on Rover since 2018, and I’m proud to have received all 5-star reviews from my wonderful clients. My dedication to pet care has even been recognized by Business Insider, where I’ve been featured twice for my pet sitting services. I specialize in house sitting, and my goal is always to leave your home better than I found it. I treat your space with the utmost respect and your pets like family. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos, so you’ll never have to worry about your fur baby while you’re away—you’ll always know they’re safe, happy, and loved. I would love to care for your pet and give them lots of love while you are away! I will walk your dog, play with your cat, and give lots of enrichment to ensure they stay active and happy. I also provide regular updates through photos and videos so that you'll never have to worry while you're away! Working remotely for myself gives me the freedom to offer consistent, high-quality care throughout the day. I’m experienced with all types of pets and special needs—from giving insulin shots to diabetic dogs to helping a cat with asthma. I also regularly care for my parents' two dogs, so pets are a part of my everyday life. If you’re looking for a reliable, communicative sitter who will care for your pets and your home like they’re my own, I’d love to help! I work from home and own my own business. I'm a full time content creator and freelancer and have all the flexibility to give your pet the best care at all times! I may even feature your pet in my content if you're okay with it. I may leave the house here and there to go to the gym or attend an event. I have no issues staying home with them as long as they need it! I make sure to give your pet the best care I can! 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’ve been taking care of cats when I was teenagers. My first cat was 17 years old. I just got my new cat, I bought everything for my cat. I am good with keeping everything as clean as possible, vacuum everyday. I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I took care of my step daughter's two Yorkshire Terrier dogs when she was travelling, One of them is more than 10 years old. I fed the dogs and clean the dog's face, comb their hair, play with them. It was fun time. They like me more than my husband, haha. I’m free after work, I work at Wall street Manhattan, living near Fort Lee NJ. I will be available after work Monday to Friday, weekends will be more flexible. I bought everything automatic for my cat. The automatic litter box, I clean it every day. Water fountain has filter, I wash and change the water every 3 to 4 days with boiled water (cooling down) due to my cat only has one kidney. Cat food, I feed him with wet can food twice a day and with dry food automatic feeding. I mix different cat food due to his sensitive stomach.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m patient, loving, and always attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. I also have experience walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with basic care routines and giving oral medication when needed. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule. My work is light and meeting-free most of the day, so I’m home almost all the time. I take regular breaks to walk dogs and spend quality time with them — giving your pets plenty of attention, play, and care throughout the day. I live in a spacious 3B3B apartment that’s quiet, clean, and pet-friendly with my husband. Even though it’s an apartment, there’s plenty of space for pets to move around safely and comfortably. I always keep doors and windows secured, monitor pets closely, and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walks, and medication if needed. For safety, I never leave dogs unattended outdoors and ensure cats stay in secure indoor areas. We’re just an 8-minute walk from a beautiful dog park and a riverside trail, perfect for safe, relaxing walks and playtime. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals (cats, hamsters, chickens, goats) since I learned to walk. I was raised with German Shepherds and couldn’t imagine life without my big fur balls. I will walk (and love on!) dogs of all shapes and sizes for however long your fur baby needs. I’ve helped raise and train three shepherd puppies to date so I am happy to help with training as well. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work part-time in childcare so I have a highly flexible, open schedule. I’m generally available 8am to 9pm on a Monday to Friday timeline, with weekends occasionally open as well. Check my schedule for particular days as I get booked at random, and please reach out if you need a recurring walker. I treat every pet with kindness and empathy. I am a positive reinforcement-only trainer and will always lead with enthusiasm. I’m very receptive and can be quiet with a scared pup, athletic with an energetic one, or strong with a worker breed. I maintain safety at all times and will treat your pup with the supervision and care they deserve. Finally, I’ve handled everything—slobber, snot, dirt, poop—you name it, I’ll take care of it and return your dog happy, clean, and content.

This is my first time using rover and at first I was skeptical because I have a very anxious and not so friendly Pitbull. I introduced her to Alex and while he met her he was calm and letting her sniff him. I had warned him that she doesn’t like to be pet and he respected that and let her be the one to get close to him. After meeting him and letting him walk her 3 times I was able to go on my trip for 4 days and he would go to my house and walk her with no problem. We have cameras and I saw how comfortable she was with him which was unbelievable to me and my husband. He kept us updated every step of the way and sent us multiple videos a day. To say I’m beyond satisfied with Alex’s service is an understatement. Will definitely book him again in the future!

About: I treat dogs as real babies and children. I have had my dog Hachi for over 3 years now and understand the expectations and standards that I would require from someone caring for him. I intend to uphold those same standards when it comes to supervision, walks, feeding, playtime, and other various needs. I am in college working at a steakhouse part time roughly 3-4 nights a week. Looking for morning to mid-day gigs throughout the summer and partially when school begins again. I wake up at the same time every morning to walk and feed my dog and the same time every night. Both my dog and cat are fed twice a day with varying diets depending on their health needs. They are shown constant love and affection and my dog gets plenty of play time and time outside

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - North Bergen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in North Bergen on Rover is $35.52 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 26,982 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.
