“I was so nervous about leaving our dog. My hunting partner. After I met yvette that all went away. She cared for my Izzy like she was hers . Long walks and lots of attention. Def use yvette. I will be again soon.”

“Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“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!”

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.
About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!
About: I previously had a cockapoo for 15 and a half years! My parents and I would love to have a dog in the house again and I am happy to help watch pets while I am home from grad school! I am a Vanderbilt graduate student, and have Thursdays through Sundays completely off which gives me more than enough time to care for your dog! I am available during the day on Mondays and Tuesdays, and early Wednesdays. I make sure I know where food, water, treats, leashes, toys, etc. are placed, and always keep a close eye on them if they are in the yard. I make sure they are fed on time and feel comfortable.
“Alexandra was just wonderful. She understood my cats and gave the best of care. She sent me pictures daily accompanied by funny tidbits about them. She stayed in my home for two weeks and when she left it looked exactly as it was when she arrived. I was so grateful for her superb care and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”

“Pete is one of the best dog sitters I've ever worked with. He's very much a dog person and had an intuitive sense for how my dog Bandit was doing. He was very effective in taking care of Bandits' needs including some special medical foods and procedures required. And he's flexible -- he was able to also take care of my daughter's dog Brandy for some of the time while he was also taking care of Bandit. He also is an effective communicator and regularly sent us texts and pictures, as well as knowing when to ask questions if there might be a problem that arose. He's just very good. I highly recommend Pete (although please don't hire him when I need him). Thanks.”


“Above all, trustworthy. She genuinely loves dogs. That much is obvious in how she cares for our puppies. But on top of that, Alessandra emanates trust. It’s hard to find someone that’s worthy of being left alone in your home alone with your furry family members. This is the first time we have felt comfortable with someone.”

“Marco went above and beyond to care for our senior dog! Our pup is a bit particular and he doesn’t cuddle newcomers often. However Rocket warmed up to Marco and even slept with him! Plus Marco took wonderful care of our home. We’ll book him again in a heartbeat.”

“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.”

“My husband and I just came home with 2 puppies and were worried for our first day back to work. Mia made sure we had nothing to worry about. She texted us all day, sent photos, updates, provided above and beyond care to our puppies and is the most caring and kind person. We are so thankful we found Mia and are so lucky to have such a wonderful person to watch our pups with full care and attention for our 10 hour work days. She makes sure our puppies are safe and loved and we would recommend her to anyone needing excellent dog care.”

“We are so grateful for Rhinesca and Julio. We were taking a very last minute and long trip, they were great with updates. Our dog is reactive and strong, they did an excellent job when meeting him for the first time and controlling him on walks. We'll definitely reach out again.”

About: I been talking care of animals, like dogs, cats, guinnipigs, ferrets. I love playing and being active with the animals. I love taking long walks with dogs to the parks. Going to the park, laying down watching tv, I take them out several times a day, and do what the parents wants me to do with them. I have cameras to keep an eye on them if I step away, I also have a Furbo for doggy’s, a play pen if they need to go and use the bathroom.
“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: 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.
“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Oradell is $60

Yvette was great with jojo! She’s responsible, warm, communicative and sent adorable pics of jojo cuddling with her. She was able to give jojo her meds no problem which I was super appreciative of. I felt relaxed leaving her for the weekend knowing Yvette was there. I had a wonderful weekend away with no worries. She’s great!

Jacob was amazing! From the first moment he established a great rapport with our 5 year old Golden Retriever Maximus and treated him with kindness and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for throughout the entire stay. We received regular updates, photos, and excellent communication, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came home to a healthy, happy pup, and we booked the next house sit right away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.

Samantha was absolutely fantastic!!! Could not recommend her more highly. She kept us fully up to date throughout our time away, asked appropriate questions to verify when there was a discrepancy (my fault) between the instructions and what was there. Samantha took care of our Maggie like she was her own! Please consider Sam for your next extended time away!

Mia stayed with our dog, Trudie, for 3 nights last week while we were away. We had a very positive experience when we first met Mia last month. Trudie was very impressed with her and so was I. She was warm and friendly and seemed very professional and responsible. Her stay with Trudie went very smoothly. She stayed in touch with me throughout, she sent pictures, and overall gave me a good feeling of confidence that Trudie was in capable hands. Oh and our house was as neat as a pin when we returned. All in all a great experience with Mia.
Above all, trustworthy. She genuinely loves dogs. That much is obvious in how she cares for our puppies. But on top of that, Alessandra emanates trust. It’s hard to find someone that’s worthy of being left alone in your home alone with your furry family members. This is the first time we have felt comfortable with someone.

Amanda took exceptional care of our 17½-year-old dog, who requires very specialized care and definitely isn’t easy. From the moment we left, she provided compassionate, attentive care and kept us updated with thoughtful texts and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. On top of that, our house was immaculate. We are beyond appreciative of Amanda’s kindness, professionalism, and dedication. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with an elderly pet, and we are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!

Jill was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch Teddy and Frankie. Teddy had plenty of walks and play time and Frankie even came out to spend time with Jill (and she’s not normally friendly). She made us feel less stressed on our trip because our pets were being well taken care of.

Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oradell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 18,723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oradell. 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 Oradell 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 Oradell 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 Oradell 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oradell. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
