About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including both large and small dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, and fish. My professional background includes working at a veterinary clinic for several months, followed by a year and a half at an animal humane society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals with diverse needs. I currently work at a doggy daycare, where I continue to build my knowledge of canine behavior, safety, and care. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided dog and house sitting services for family friends. I am experienced in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and specialized care they require. As a lifelong animal lover, I also care for a variety of pets of my own, including three dogs, five cats, a rabbit, and a betta fish. My hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments allows me to provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive care for every pet as if they were my own. I work Monday through Friday, typically from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which gives me plenty of time each afternoon and evening to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I also have weekends completely free, allowing me to dedicate full days to giving your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and always follow the owner's instructions and routine. I strive to provide at least 30 minutes of playtime and enrichment activities during each visit. For pets without access to a fenced yard, I also provide approximately 30 minutes of neighborhood walks, depending on the pet's age, size, energy level, and overall health. Afterward, I continue engaging them with indoor play or enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.
“I wish I could give 10 stars to Ashleigh!!!! I will definitely be using her again to watch my dogs when I go out of town. She sent me photos every day and kept in great contact which made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I just can't say enough good things about her. She did the best job ever! My doggies loved her. I am sure they are going to miss her. She became part of the family right away. What an amazing experience!”
“Alexa house sat for our almost 16 year old dog named Elvis. We were concerned about the stress of him being boarded away from home at such an old age. She was wonderful! She came over and met Elvis and us prior to our booking her services. She kept in contact as the date came closer and sent daily pictures of our pup with status while we were away. She contacted us the day we were coming home to make sure our flight was on time and that Elvis would be ok if she left at the time we had designated. Alexa even helped get our mail and brought in some packages that were delivered while we were gone. We would definitely use Alexa again.”
“Jana is the best. Took excellent care of our active 1 year 8month old golden retriever for 13 days. She kept him very active and took him to see his fur buddies everyday at the dog park. She works from home so she was able to be with him most of the day, which he is used to. She also took great care of our home, retrieved our mail and watered our plants. I would give her 10 stars if I could. Definitely using her again.”
About: I'm a freelance animation writer and dog lover who has had dogs his entire life and enjoys walking and sitting his friend's dogs. Now I'm looking to walk and sit even more dogs to supplement my writing income while also taking advantage of my extremely flexible schedule. I'm very patient, attentive and affectionate with dogs. When I walk, my attention is on the dogs (not my phone) and when I dog sit, I treat your home how I'd like my home to be treated if someone was staying there (i.e. not really wandering around and/or touching stuff, ha) and again, all attention is on the dog. Otherwise, I'll just be writing away on my scripts. I absolutely love dogs and have raise several from puppies. This is also an outlet for me after the passing of a beloved elderly dog that I had since she was a puppy. I'd be happy to take excellent care of your dogs.
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique personality and routine.

I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning food and water bowls, and respecting the client's space.

“Heather was excellent - I would highly recommend her. She stayed overnight with my 15 year old dog and gave him his meds as well. I felt very comfortable with her in the house and Munson, my shitzu, loved her.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our in-home pet sitter Tonia! She stepped in on very short notice and immediately put our minds at ease. From the moment we connected, her professionalism and genuine love for animals were clear. She did an exceptional job caring for our two dogs, not just meeting their basic needs, but truly engaging with them. It was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Beyond caring for our pets, she treated our home with the utmost respect, treating it as if it were her own. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. We could not be happier with the experience and feel so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate care for their pets and home.”
“John took care of our babies while we were gone for a trip! This was the longest we’ve been away from them and our nerves were all over. He eased our anxiety by providing pics multiple times a day and giving us updates on them. We can’t recommend him enough!”
“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“Julie did a great job caring for our dogs! She sent lots of picture updates and was a quick communicator. Julie was able to be at our home with the dogs the majority of each day to keep them company. She gave them new toys and spent a lot of time with them playing outside!”

About: I have grown up having cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love taking care of them and giving them as much love as I can all the time. I have experience with walking mine and my friends dogs, and I've also volunteered with dogs and walked dogs from shelters. I currently work part time as a pet counselor at Petland where some of my responsibilities include helping take care of small animals and assisting the kennel technicians with the care of our puppies. I am newly married and am wanting to make some side money while working part time. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my free time than with dogs and cats and loving and caring for them. I am extremely flexible to help out, I was a previous college athlete and I'm very active throughout my day, I can help with dog walking, as well as looking after your pets. I am trustworthy and can guarantee I'll give your dogs/ cats plenty of kisses and cuddles. I love walks myself and love to take dogs on long walks. I can bathe them, brush them, feed them, and overall just play with them and give your dogs and cats lots of attention.

Katelin is wonderful. I was scrambling a bit to find someone for a night when my regular sitter wasn’t available. Katelin replied right away and came to meet my boys the same day. Excellent communication, updates and pictures while I was away, and always a quick response to any message I sent. All around, a lovely human. She took great care of my boys and I am just so grateful that I found her. : )
Katelin is amazing! She is wonderful with my pups and sends pictures and videos to make sure I get to see them while I'm away. She takes extra care to give them all the attention I would give them if I were home with them and that means the world to me!! She is very communicative and kind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Overpeck. 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 Overpeck 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 Overpeck 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 Overpeck 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.

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.
