“Brian was fantastic. I was in town and needed a babysitter last minute for my dog, Daisy, so that I could go to an event in NYC. He took great care of her while I was gone.”

“Simply a wonderful pet sitter. Our 100lb ridgeback and 10lb cat loved her. Our house was pristine on our return. She sent daily photos and updates. Would happily book again.”

About: Having grown up on a farm and surrounded by various animals, my pet care experience is extensive and deeply ingrained. From nurturing newborn alpacas to handling our pets everyday needs, I have a wealth of knowledge in tending to their well-being. Additionally, having cherished pets of my own over the years has further honed my understanding of their unique requirements and behaviors. My background instills confidence in providing compassionate and skilled care for any furry or feathered companion that comes my way. As a software engineer with a wonderfully flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. My love for animals makes them an essential part of my life, and I prioritize their well-being with the same dedication I give to coding. Whether it's feeding my pets, taking them for refreshing walks, or engaging in playtime, I ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. It's a win-win situation that keeps me both productive and connected to nature. Living on the second floor of a quiet community with a courtyard just outside my door and nearby woods, I provide attentive pet care both at home and for clients. In my home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and secure space to relax, whether it's a cozy pet bed or their own crate if preferred. Regular walks and adventures in the nearby woods offer them ample exercise and stimulation. With plenty of playtime, love, and a variety of pet toys on hand, I make sure they feel right at home and well-cared for throughout their stay.
“Giselle is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond in every way. Our elderly cat, who is usually skittish with new people, took to, her right away. My dog Cody was smitten, and we felt at ease the whole time we were gone. The pictures we received each day were proof positive they were happy. Giselle has a real gift with animals. This was our very first Rover experience, and we hit the Jackpot with her!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.

“Izzi was great house sitting our two cats. One of which is a picky senior kitty. They sent pictures and responded quickly and thoroughly, as well as left our place clean. Would highly recommend Izzi :)”
“Cheryl is an absolutely incredible sitter. I can’t say enough good things about how well she cares for my puppy, Remy. I have such peace of mind while traveling knowing that she is caring for Remy. She provides consistent updates and sends the cutest pictures. I HIGHLY recommend Cheryl.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I currently have three dogs of my own and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my beloved senior dog who lived to be 17 years old. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different each dog can be, from energetic pups who love to play and explore to older dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! ❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available on weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays when needed. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat every visit as an opportunity to give them the same love and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, exercise routine, and any house rules their family has in place. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave things clean and just as I found them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a big family of pet lovers where dogs and cats were always running around, so caring for animals comes naturally to me! I currently have three dogs of my own, including my sweet 15 yr old yorkie and a lively tuxedo kitten. Because of my experience with my senior dog and my kitten, I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy kitten playtime to gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience or meds. As a nursing student, I bring a detail oriented, calm, and responsible approach to every visit, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. I am currently in nursing school, which gives me great availability in the afternoons and evenings for walkies, drop-in visits, feeding, and play sessions. I am also fully open and available for overnight house sitting! I make sure to structure my routine around your pet’s exact schedule so their day feels completely seamless. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and treat every animal like my own family. During house sitting or drop-ins, I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication instructions, send frequent photos and updates, and ensure your home stays secure. My nursing background means I’m naturally attentive to subtle changes in energy, behavior, or comfort.

About: I have two pets of my own, a cat and a dog. I know the needs to take care of both of them and would find it easier to handle yours. Worked at a pet hotel for a couple weeks and dealt with a variety of dogs (even cats) and know that each pet can be different and I'm ready to accustomed to your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and safe! I currently work at a nightshift so I would prefer to work during the evening. Depending on my schedule I would be able to work nightshifts on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. My dog is very playful and would enjoy having a bit of fun with yours! My cat is shy to newcomers so it might not interact with your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I’ve pet sitted for friends and family and enjoy walking and spending time with dogs. I like to be very accommodating since I understand the struggle of finding pet sitters on a last minute trip so I hope to help the people in my neighborhood. Since I am a college student and my classes are online I am free to pet sit and provide dog walking services everyday of the week. I will provide water but prefer food to be provided since every owner differs in which food is preferred to feed there pet. Dog walking is always available and let me know if your dog is a fan of any specific activities like fetch. I live in my parents home and they love having pets around so availability is never an issue. We also live in a fenced home so your pet has an extra layer of security.
About: I’ve owned a pekingese mixed with pug for 10+ years and a blue nose pit bull for 5+ years. I’ve cared for the dogs of family members in the past and for friends of the family. I find dogs enjoyable to be around, for I have been around them all my life. I am available all day, everyday, so anytime of the day would work. I have a large amount of patience, and I am willing to take longer walks to ensure that my duties have been fulfilled. I take pride in my work and you should expect nothing but the results you expect, if not anything better. Dogs have always been fascinating and fun to me, and making a little extra money taking care of them would be a pleasure for me. I’m currently doing part time freelance work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can do whatever service is needed aside from pets being boarded at my residence unfortunately. I tend to keep a close eye on pets unless instructed otherwise and likely to stay interactive with them to build a relationship. I've done boarding in client's homes as well as for pets with special needs, and I'm always willing to grow and learn to accommodate as many people as possible.
“Brooke is an all around wonderful person and it translates over to the way she cares for dogs. Our dog, Chancha, had the best time with her! It was a last minute booking, too! My boyfriend took me on a surprise trip to propose and if it weren’t for Brooke’s quick response and willingness to dog sit, he might’ve haven’t had that chance or made this trip happen! So, thank you beyond words!!! She is responsible, compassionate, and truly someone that loves dogs. I wouldn’t skip her over! She is 6 stars out of 5.”

“Casey was so accommodating and sweet! She was super flexible and let us change end times as needed! Thank you so so much for taking such great care of our baby, we’re so very grateful!”

About: I’ve always loved animals. Growing up, I was the friend who would visit just to spend time with their pets. Now, I live with two wonderful cats, Callie and Poppi, and I absolutely adore them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of my neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats—feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and even giving them baths when needed. I’ve also looked after stray and abandoned cats in my neighborhood, making sure they were safe and helping them find homes. I enjoy being active, whether it's going on hikes or runs, and I love having a furry companion along for the adventure. Every pet has their own personality, and I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the chance to look after your pets and give them the attention they deserve! I’m currently a student—but I do have some extra time to spend with your pups! I available on most weekdays after 1pm and weekends after 11am. When on dog walks, I take the safety of your dog very seriously. I’ll be able to keep your dog safe and out of harm's way.
“Travian took great care of our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. It was clear they both got a lot of attention and he also left the house spotless. Would definitely ask Travian to housesit again!”

“Elliyah rose to every challenge my dog presented her and was super communicative along the way. You can tell she loves all animals and is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Thank you Elliyah, so much!”

“Gabriel took great care of my senior dog for 2 days in my home. He was respectful, responsive and sent lots of photos of our sweet boy. He left the house spotless and Dallas was a happy boy when we got home. I would definitely hire him again! Thanks, Gabriel!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Caldwell
Danuta was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! I knew from the moment she walked in that she was the one. My dog took to her immediately, and he is a bit shy and reserved. I was so nervous about leaving them for two weeks, but she sent pictures and videos all day, I felt like I was with them. She was so good with my dog that I was afraid he wouldn't want to come with me! Same with my cat, it usually takes her a while to warm up to anyone, but she seemed so comfortable with Danuta. She was absolutely wonderful! I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend her!

Giselle is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond in every way. Our elderly cat, who is usually skittish with new people, took to, her right away. My dog Cody was smitten, and we felt at ease the whole time we were gone. The pictures we received each day were proof positive they were happy. Giselle has a real gift with animals. This was our very first Rover experience, and we hit the Jackpot with her!

Amara is fantastic - she leads with professionalism, care and communication. She took the time to understand exactly the type of care my dog needed, sent thorough and timely updates and bonded with my dog. Her level of care is exactly what I hoped it would be and I can’t wait to have her sit my dog again!

Mike did a great job with our crew while we were traveling over Spring Break. We have one dog who takes some time warm up, but she was calm and easy with Mike and was behaving well throughout his stay. Mike watched both our cats and dogs, followed their schedule and kept us in the loop. He was responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough great things about Lana! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with caring for pets. She treated my dog like her own making sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and got plenty of love and attention. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. When I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I will definitely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Caldwell is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $86 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 18,630 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Caldwell. 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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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.

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 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 .
