“Milena was wonderful with my 7-year-old pug Ginger! I was scared to leave my furry baby but was very pleased with how responsible and caring Milena was during the entire week I was away. Ginger was well-cared for. Milena stayed overnight in my house and followed my doggie instructions carefully and took good care of the house, too. Thank you, Milena! I will call you again when I need help with Ginger!”
“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!”
About: I love dogs and I love taking care of them as well as playing with them. I have a lot of family and friends who have dogs so I have experience in taking care of all types of dogs.I have a few years of experience with dogs and I just love being around dogs.

“I had a great experience with Nabria. My dog and cat were very comfortable with her. She left my home spotless and I could not be more grateful and pleased. I would 100% use her services again and highly recommend her.”
About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.
“Lisbeth has been a great dog sitter. She took care of two dogs and did a great job with everything. She provided updates every day and sent doggy photos. Both of our dogs loved her.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
“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!”
About: Animals have always been family to me. I grew up with dogs and now share my home with two cats who are truly my kids. I’m the kind of pet parent who wakes up in the middle of the night if they need me, or rushes to the vet the moment something feels off. When I lived with my parents, I cared for their two dogs with the same devotion. From daily walks and playtime to the less glamorous tasks, I did it all with love. What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to treating every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing play and structure, or a senior pet who deserves patience and gentle care, I bring reliability, compassion, and the kind of attentiveness that gives pet parents peace of mind. With me, your pets will feel safe, loved, and cared for as if you never left. I work full-time as a Human Resources Benefits Administrator monday through friday 8–5, but outside of those hours I’m available for pet care. On Fridays I work remotely, which gives me extra flexibility. I can do daytime visits, evenings, or overnight care the night before. I make sure to plan around my work schedule so your pets get the attention they need. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I care for pets like they’re my own. I follow your routines so their day feels normal and stress-free, whether it’s mealtime, playtime, or quiet time. I keep things clean and safe by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and tidying up after walks or play. Every pet is different, I pay attention to what makes them happy, extra cuddles, space to relax, or more play.
“Elissa was so great when she house sat for us to watch our cat and dog. She sent plenty of updates and made sure she had all the information she needed, like double checking the feeding schedule and making sure there were no medications to administer. Will definitely see if she’s available the next time we need help with the pets!”
About: I started my experience dog walking 2 years ago for a professor’s friend in Winchester, Virginia. Twice a week, I would walk her hyper pups. She then recommended me to her father, whose dog I began walking twice a week as well. From there, my mini business boomed through word of mouth. I began dog sitting in people’s homes as well for multiple individuals for varying time spans. Most of the dogs I interacted with were seniors and required extensive care. However, all dogs owners loved and recommended me to others! I still walk the original dogs and add in others as my schedule allows with two other jobs. I am sad to leave my extensive clientele in Winchester, but I am moving back to New Jersey for graduate school and excited to meet new puppy friends!! For the summertime, I am incredibly flexible with nothing planned. I prefer weekly walks / drop ins, but also like sitting as well. In August, I start physical therapy school at Columbia University so my availability will decrease but I’d be willing to provide services on nights / weekends. During breaks, my availability will open up again! Whenever walking / sitting, I respect the owner’s rules, no matter what. I long to maintain utmost cleanliness and adherence to routine as physically possible. I am also very communicative and honest, building trust with my clients.
“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.”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She came to my home and took amazing care of Charlie, my Maltese, for the entire day. She arrived on time, was very respectful of my home, and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She took Charlie for walks, fed him, and made sure he received plenty of care and attention. Charlie was so happy and comfortable with her. Olivia is kind, reliable, responsible, and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend her and would gladly book her again!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Megan! She took wonderful care of our 11-week-old poodle puppy while we were away for ann evening. Communication with her was excellent from start to finish, and she was very easy to work with. Our puppy was happy and well-cared for when we returned, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Haledon
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!
Joeli took fantastic care of Boomer! It was our first time using Rover for an overnight sitter (without first getting to know someone with walks) and she was great! Watched our pup for - 5 day trip. She had Excellent communication and we came home to a happy dog an a clean house.
Savana was fantastic with our dogs. She was kind, reliable, communicated throughout the stay, let our home in perfect condition and our pooches were happy and well cared for in Savanas capable hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering her as a petsitter or dog walker.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Haledon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Haledon on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 18,437 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Haledon. 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 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

- 97% 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.
