About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and they've always been a part of my family. From playful pups to wise old dogs, I've learned how to care for them in many different aspects. I've also babysat puppies before, so I know how to handle the extra energy that comes with it! I’m currently a college student working a part time job. I have a lot of extra free time on the weekdays to hangout with pups. I am available most weekdays to go for some walks and drop-in visits! Your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a secure and clean environment, free from hazards. I'm experienced in recognizing signs of distress or illness and will immediately contact you. Dogs in my care enjoy regular walks, playtime in a secure yard, and plenty of cuddles on the couch. I ensure each dog gets personalized attention, catering to their specific needs and energy levels. At home, my own dogs are part of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every dog I will watch.

About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking experience and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! We are most experienced with dogs and cats, but could also care for bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small creatures! We treat all pets as family members. I work from home and we have our own dog. We love to take nice, long walks with our four legged, fury friends. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 wonderful years, dogs are my passion! They love me and I love them, from puppies to seniors, toys to giants. I am lucky have a fenced in, wooded, private, 2 acre property with plenty of room for zoomies. Boarding dogs is my main gig, so I stay home with them all day and night. They are never unsupervised, inside or outside my property. I live in a safe, wooded, quiet, 2 acre, fenced-in lot. There are lots of dogs on my block who love to socialize and have play dates if that's what your dog is into. I'm at the end of a dirt road, nowhere near any traffic, so it is very safe and private.

About: I’ve always loved animals, especially cats! I have a cat of my own and have spent years caring for pets. I’ve dog-sat for many of my friends, including caring for their dogs for stays lasting several weeks or even months. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a year, where I cared for and spent time with many different cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love to take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays, and I’m happy to discuss specific dates and times with each pet parent. I’m also comfortable caring for pets for extended periods when needed. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and personality and will follow their owner’s instructions closely. I have experience caring for dogs in their homes and my own cat, as well as caring for many cats while volunteering at a shelter. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, and care.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun.

Alex took wonderful care of my senior dog Georgie. He came to walk him, gave him a treat, and made sure his water bowl was full before leaving. He follows instructions carefully, is responsible and always punctual. I felt completely at ease knowing Georgie was in good hands. I will absolutely continue using Alex in the future, including longer stays. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Northvale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 25,728 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northvale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Northvale 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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Northvale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northvale. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
