About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I highly recommend Katrina. She took very good care care of our two cats, was very professional throughout the process, and sent updates so we knew how they were doing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely book her again!”

“Ashley is great with my pets. They really like her. She is patient and sweet with them. I truly appreciate her communication throughout the visits to let me know they are ok and if it's still a good time to drop in. I am look forward to our next booking coming up in July. I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve attended dog grooming school and have professional experience in the grooming industry, along with years of dog sitting and caring for pets for families.

I have experience caring for pets of friends and neighbors, and I am good at following instructions, as I know how particular pets can be! I am in college and have the ability to work whatever hours fit your needs- early mornings, late nights, weekends. It can be hard to be with your pet 24/7, and I understand that and am willing to work with whatever you may need. I am in college with an irregular schedule, so I can fit your needs at times others cannot.

About: I’ve been volunteering with cats for over 6 years, and have owned several cats throughout my life. I’ve cat sat in my previous agency, where I worked making house calls for cat owners. I work remotely, and am usually available for most of the weekdays with flexible schedule. On weekends, I am available as well. I own a car, so being able to travel is easy. I have two very spoiled dogs and have fostered dogs throughout the past 7 years. I am responsible and reliable, and very communicative.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, having raised and cared for three of my own during that time. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand the importance of exercise, patience, attention, and consistency. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to recognize their individual behaviors and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and would treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet care during the morning hours, generally between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual routine. I always keep dogs securely leashed when outside, supervise them closely, and make sure they have access to fresh water and a safe environment. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care needs, and I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being throughout the visit. I also make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure so pets cannot accidentally get loose.
“Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!”

“Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!”

“Just wow - kristina is a TOP TIER cat sitter! One of my kittos was scared and wouldn’t come out - she was relentless in coaxing him out and has now throughly bonded with him. I’m so grateful! Her persistence and kitty know-how helped me feel so comfortable and sweet relief that my kitties were in good hands.”

Nicole was excellent! I highly recommend. She came by prior to the appointed day to meet our pup. She was great with our Mini right from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her after meeting her. She took great care of Mini and followed all my directions perfectly.

I am very grateful for Emnely because she took care of my dog while I was away. She walked him & gave him food. Emnely kept me informed when she picked up my dog and dropped him off. She even took pictures and sent it to me. I highly recommend Emnely. Thank you! Katherine

Morgan is awesome! She accepted my request last minute and was so sweet and attentive to my baby. I got a lot of updates and photos. She’s very communicative and gentle. I recommend 100% and I will definitely contact her again for future services. Thank you again for everything Morgan! 🫶🏼

Dan was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our fur kids. Both pets seemed very happy with each visit, we absolutely loved the photo check ins, and we were able to enjoy our vacation as a family knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend him for your pet care needs.
We had such a wonderful experience with Christina! 🥰 She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive with our puppy Chloe, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Chloe absolutely loved spending time with her, and Christina was always great about keeping us updated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶💕

Hi Michael! Sorry for the late response - after the 2am time back from VEG Saturday morning then the move-in on Sunday, I’m tired!! Thanks again for helping out and for the update. Moose (with his medicine) slept through the night without a coughing fit last night so he seems to be recovering. Now we just have a high energy dog who can’t go to day care at all this week! 😂 I hope you have a great week! Also, we’re seeing A Few Good Men at Lincoln Center on Sunday November 8, so we’ll request a drop-in if you’re around!

Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!

Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.

We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!

Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!
I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !

Kayla is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She’s reliable, attentive, and treats our dog like her own, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Nutley is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 26,326 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Nutley. 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 Nutley 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 Nutley 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 Nutley. 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.
