“Catherine was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and clearly loves animals. Henry stayed with her while we were on a trip to California, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. He had a wonderful time and already can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”
“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”
“I am very happy to find Lisbeth, she takes good care of my dog Ruby. Ruby is a senior with weak legs and slightly difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Lisbeth.”
“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!”
“Lisa is fabulous! This is the first time we left our puppies to go away. Lisa took such great care of our babies. She was super attentive and would send updates throughout the day. I recommend her as a sitter and look forward to working with her in the future when we need care for our pups!”
About: I've grown up around MANY cats and a dog most of my life. I’ve also helped out my family and friends were taking care of their fur babies when they’re on vacation. I currently work a 9 to 5 but I am available before or after that time. I can also stop by in the middle of the day. I’m also completely free on weekends! I live alone now, but I grew up living with anywhere from 3 to 9 cats, 1 dog, 2 birds who are rescues that (as you can imagine) have very different personalities. We had a set routine for them which I believe gave them enough stability and consistency to let them flourish and be comfortable in the spaces we shared. My family and I made it a priority to keep our cats healthy, happy, and well taken care of.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am an absolute animal lover, your pet will be in great hands with me. I’m responsible, reliable, and treat other peoples animals as my own! I’m fully employed but I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I can be available for your animal from 9am-11pm or if you’re boarding with me, I will be available for your pet all day and night. I am available 7 days and nights a week! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your animal to run around safely. I always like to monitor small dogs, as they’re more vulnerable so I’ll sit outside with them and make sure they’re safe. I currently do not have any animals at the moment, as I lost my Yorkshire terrier in October of 2022, so your pet will be the only animal in my house. I have gates that I can put up if you prefer your pet doesn’t do stairs. And my entire house is pet friendly!
“Florence was very nice and great at communicating with me. She was very flexible on my schedule which was very helpful for my trip over July 4th weekend. She sent great pics and videos of my dogs, too, which is always calming when away. Would recommend!”
“Gabby stayed with our 15 year old, newly diagnosed as diabetic, cat hunter for 4 days. She made sure he received all of his meds, including insulin injections, as instructed. Gabby sent photos and text updates throughout each day. Additionally, she took Hunter to the vet twice to receive his scheduled fluid treatments and made sure his litter box was cleaned daily. We arrived home to a clean house & a happy Hunter. Gabby is very personable, timely & a pleasure to know. I highly recommend Gabby as a responsible, professional & caring pet sitter.”
“Ori watched our dog April for 4 days and he was amazing! He was very communicative and took such good care of April and the house while we were away. From daily walks to spending time outside and cuddling on the couch, we knew our energetic girl was in the best hands. Thank you Ori!!”
“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”
“Alison was amazing with our dogs and the dogs loved her! She was ver communicative and sent tons of pics of the dogs having fun and on walks. 10/10 would recommend her! We will be using her again.”
About: I have a huge passion for dogs and always have my entire life! My family has owned dogs since before I was born, and we’ve had three over the years. With each of my dogs, I’ve had first hand experience with the puppy stage, all the way up until the senior stage. I’m consistently drawn to every dog I encounter, whether it’s a friend/family’s pet or a random dog on the street! I recently graduated college, and as I search for a full time position I’d love to look after dogs through Rover. Since I’m not currently working, my daily schedule is pretty open and I will be able to take last minute requests as well! I am easily able to accommodate any needs for your dog within your home. Just provide the instructions on how to go about watching them and I’ll do it!
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by them and have spent my entire life loving, caring for, and understanding their unique personalities and needs. To me, dogs aren't just pets, they're family. Having cared for dogs through different stages of life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and making them feel safe and comfortable. After recently experiencing the heartbreaking loss of my own beloved dogs, I realized how much joy animals bring into my life. Caring for other people's furry family members is a meaningful way for me to continue sharing that love. What sets me apart is that I don't see pet sitting as just a job. I genuinely love dogs and will treat yours with the same attention, kindness, and care I've always given my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. From morning walks and feeding routines to playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles, I can easily incorporate their needs into my schedule. I love having furry companions around, and working from home allows me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved without being left alone for long periods. Having dogs around has always made my days brighter, and I'm excited to share that love and attention with yours! A cozy home, a park just steps away, and lots of love to give! 🐾 I work remotely, so your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a double crate available for overnight stays if needed. Whether at my place or yours, I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!

I went to school to be a vet tech, so I’m competent with any special medical needs your furry child may have! I don’t discriminate on any breeds, size, or behavior, I’m an animal lover and just looking to show love to your pet while you and/or your family are away. I have a 1 and a half year old cat named figaro, and two dogs, one Is a Great Dane and the other is a Great Dane mix. I swear the cat thinks he thinks he’s part dog,! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your sweet fur baby.
“Maddie was by far the best dog sitter. I have two golden retrievers that love to run, play fetch and go on hikes. She did all of the above and more. she sent me pictures, took the dogs hiking at the reservation, they went on 2 mile walks, played fetch and were very well taken care of. She is kind, respectful, communicative, and truly loved our fur babies. I highly recommend her. I will definitely hire her when we travel. I cannot thank her enough!! 🩷🦴🐾🦮”
About: In the past, I have taken care of many dogs and cats. Those include my own pets and the pets of others. I have experience walking dogs, and have house-sat for people. I have approximately 7-8 years of experience. Most of my availability is on the weekend and I am willing to take on last minute jobs. While living at home, I have been taking care of 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 fish, 1 hamster, and 10 chickens. I hope you choose me to fulfill all your pet’s needs! I’m currently a graduate student, so my schedule often changes. However, I am always free on the weekends, and will occasionally be free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Feel free to reach out and ask for an updated schedule! I am a gentle caretaker who is willing to take care of even the most rowdy animals. Tell me how you take care of your pets and I’ll do my best to match it!

This was our first time using Katherine for dog sitting our 8 year old lab mix, Gus. We needed someone on very short notice who was willing to stay at our house. Katherine was very responsive and flexible to our needs. Our plans were difficult to nail down and Katherine was easy going and adjusted the reservation without hesitation. While we were away she was outstanding at keeping us in the loop with pictures and videos of Gus. Getting those reminders that Gus was being well cared for, played with and well fed was a big relief. I would recommend Katherine to anyone and look forwards to using her in the future!
We’re so happy to have found Eilleen! She is reliable, communicative, and super friendly. We felt so comfortable leaving our Lucy in her care, and Lucy loved her so much! They had a great time snuggling and hanging out together. We will certainly be rebooking in the near future!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Haledon is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $90 per night.

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 Haledon 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 Haledon 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 Haledon 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.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
