About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every dog I meet. To me, dogs are never “just pets”, they’re family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave a family member in someone else’s care. My goal is always to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I also have two years of professional dog walking experience, which has helped me become confident with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very affectionate, dependable, and attentive, and I always take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel happy and secure. Whether that means going on long energetic walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them comfort and companionship, I’ll always care for them with kindness, patience, and love. I truly enjoy building a bond with every dog, and I treat them the same way I would want someone to treat my own. 🫶 Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I have open availability and can adjust my schedule as needed. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, so I’m able to take on walks, drop-ins, or sitting whenever I’m needed. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. I follow all instructions carefully: feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means playtime, long walks, or just being there with them so they don’t feel alone. I’m very clean and respectful of the home as well, so I always leave things the way I found them. Most importantly, I pay close attention to how each pet is feeling and adjust my care based on their personality, whether they need a lot of energy and stimulation or a calm, gentle presence.
About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.
“Philsung took such excellent care of my pup Nala and was a great communicator the entire time we were away, I’m grateful we found Phil and will absolutely continue working with him. Highly recommend his service!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for practically all of my life. My family and friends would ask me to take care of or walk their pets and I’d always be there when they needed. I’m also used to taking care of puppies and kitties and enjoyed it no matter how tiring it may have been. My schedule right now is completely free other than going to school and so I’ll always have time to be able to walk a dog or take care of them. In my clients home if I’m pet sitting I’ll make sure I ask where their food is, where I take their water from and if there’s anything in their house that is specifically for their pet and remember that spot for future uses.
About: Walking dogs calls for a lot of patience which I have after raising 3 kids and being married for 20 years. I love animals alot I only work part time and have a lot of extra time, I also walk my own dog various times a day because I enjoy it. I’m very careful with each and every pet I take care of. I will make sure they do not get into other interactions with other dogs
“I was nervous leaving my cat alone for an extended period of time but Selina took excellent care of my girl and helped me out with some things around the apartment as well. She is a pet smart person who knows animals. 10/10 would rebook.”
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover my entire life and I love the fact that I can spend my days doing what I love; providing exercise, love, and care for animals! I believe that taking care of animals involves more than a simple check-in or walk. I am always looking for ways to mentally stimulate your pet, provide daily exercise, basic training and giving lots of belly rubs. Honestly, It’s about taking the time to connect with and bond with the pets I have been entrusted to care for. *Sits with me include regular daily updates, regular walks, cuddles, fresh water refill, food and treats (as instructed). On days when the weather is less than ideal (extreme heat, cold or severe rain), we will go out to take care of business and spend the rest of the time indoors playing fetch and cuddling on the couch. **I am committed to providing you with a full-service customer experience** **Your pet's health and well being are my top priority, prior to providing care, I require a meet & greet where we will discuss your pet's needs to customize a plan suitable for your pet. **I take my job as a pet care provider serious and am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge of the Pet Care industry to offer the best care to all my clients (furry and human). Please contact me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet! Have a pawsome day! Betsy

About: I’ve been around horses, cows, chickens, cats and dogs since I was young! My childhood dog was an American Eskimo whom I loved so dearly! I have availability during the week which gives me time to care for your pet and I’m able to give them my full undivided attention. I have no pets at my apartment but I plan on it once I have a house with enough space to create a safe space for them. I will consider how your pet is taken care of, your expectations and respect them and your boundaries when caring for a pet.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I helped my parents raise 2 puppies and now I've raised my own! I know basic training skills to the extent of what the internet has taught me, but when it comes to the care of dogs, I have a full lifetime's experience. I work full time, however I love animals and am more than happy to drop in, or even walk after. I am also capable of being home full time if there is a boarding request If you ask me to take your baby for a few days in my home, with your permission I’d be more then happy to take them on a nice long walk or hike too!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old. In my home country, I worked as a veterinary assistant and gained experience caring for dogs of different ages, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training, hygiene, and giving medication if needed. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay attention to each dog’s personality, comfort, and safety. I love animals and will care for your dog with patience, kindness, and responsibility. I currently work only two days a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The rest of the week, I have a flexible schedule and enough free time to provide pet sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and loving care. I do not have a yard, but there is a park near my home where I can take pets for walks and fresh air. Inside my home, your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always make sure pets receive attention, love, and proper care. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while they are with me.
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since she was a tiny puppy, and I treat her like my own little child. I do the same for other people’s pets too - I love to give them food, give them some cuddles, and make sure they’re happy. And always remember to give your furry friend a special treat! As a remote worker, I find flexibility in my work schedule. I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine, which allows me to connect with nature and exercise while having the flexibility to do so with my dog. Through play, companionship, and nourishment. Will stay by the dog and keep the place organized and clean so it is a fair space for the house and the dogs
“Valerie is so kind and caring and it is so comforting leaving our puppies with her. It is so clear that she loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to take care of them. She texts updates and answers right away. We will absolutely be using Valerie again and again! Such a great person and great puppy sitter!”
About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all kinds — from playful dogs and curious cats to small animals who need a gentle touch.

That means I’ve got lots of time during the day to spend with pets, whether it’s going for walks, hanging out, or just making sure they’re comfortable at home. Honestly, caring for animals is one of my favorite parts of the week — it keeps me active, happy, and always surrounded by good energy (and wagging tails!). When I’m in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pets’ routine the same so they feel comfortable and secure — whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company.

Kaosi was amazing and we absolutely recommend her and plan to book again. Sebastian loved her and she was very attentive to his needs and updating my family on how he was doing each day. We felt comfortable with her and have no complaints, she followed all of our instructions and was very pleasant during the meet and greet. Book Kaosi!
Wen was just amazing to work with during my family vacation! It was the first long vacation we’ve ever had because we worried about our fur babies. But after met Wen before booking, she was knowledgeable and professional for dog and cat. She send us lot of pictures and comments if needed and always arrived the time we were discussed. We will definitely ask her later to care our fur family! Thank you so much for your work and care. 🙏
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond while watching him. She provided thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Brady was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Knowing he was treated with so much love and attention made all the difference. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.
Tatiana goes above and beyond and is by far the best pet sitter/walker Penny has ever had. She is reliable, communicative, responsible, patient, and so kind. She takes Penny for long and scenic walks, plays fetch with her, and takes time to sit with her and give her plenty of pets and treats. I would recommend her to anyone!
Mariah was nothing but amazing with my 2 dogs! I felt so comfortable leaving her to care for them as I was on vacation. She’s great at communicating and sends updates with cute pictures of my dogs. I would highly recommend Mariah and will be using her in the future.
Meredith was amazing with my two dogs, Nico and Bandit! She went above and beyond by doing a meet and greet ahead of time and kept me updated with lots of videos and messages, which really helped ease my anxiety while I was working long shifts. My dogs can be a bit of a handful, and she handled them with so much care and patience. She even took the time to clean up a couple of accidents, which I really appreciated. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!
Kathryn is just incredible! She is thorough and knowledgeable. She is very sweet and loving with my baby girl, and my dog took to her immediately. She is always met with tail wags and wiggles. Kathryn is the best person to look after your fur baby, she treats my girl with so much love and kindness!
Rachel is an amazing sitter, she braved the elements through this snowstorm to take care of Petey and I couldn’t be more grateful. She also takes the initiative to determine what Petey needs and will walk him more than once if necessary. She lets me know that she cleaned Petey’s bowls before feeding and giving him fresh water, things that are important to me, I feel better knowing that someone is giving him the same care I would. I’m thankful to have Rachel as a person I can contact when I need help with Petey.
Philsung went above and beyond to take care of Petey. During this snowstorm, he walked the rest of the way to my apartment when his car got stuck. When you’re not able to be there with your dog, it’s a terrible feeling, I was so worried Philsung would not be able to make it there but he did. That’s reliability and dedication and a true love for animals. He is an excellent sitter.
Kate is incredibly reliable and takes excellent care of our dog, Frankie. She is always on time, keeps us informed, leaves detailed notes about the visit, and is very gentle and patient with Frankie (who is an anxious dog). We always feel confident entrusting Frankie with Kate.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palisades Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Palisades Park 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Palisades Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
