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.
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”

“My elderly temperamental dog loved her time with Adeib. She immediately took to him, something that rarely happens. He kept me regularly up to date and I think the two of them had a great time. Would definitely book with Adeib again.”
“Ellie had a great time with Yeisha. They played and cuddled, which is a big deal for my pup, who often takes time to warm up to new people. Looking forward to using Yeisha again soon.”
About: Currently, I have 2 cats - Polka and Gray that I live with and my mom’s dog, Taco. I am great with all animals and specialize in gentle, quiet environments. I am very patient, kind, caring and I make sure that the animals feel comfortable before I interact with them. On the days that I am available, I am very flexible! I will be sure to provide the time and attention they need. Currently, I am available on certain days in the area. I will be very responsive and read all instructions very carefully. I will also be very respectful of neighbors and surrounding areas / animals. I make sure to properly follow the directions to any animals that need my care. I know safety is number 1 priority. I will be attentive and cautious first, providing the care the animals need second. Proper food access and nourishment followed by play is very important.
“I would highly recommend Asel as a pet sitter. She is considerate, responsible, reliable and wonderful with animals. Asel stayed in our home for 11 nights and took care of our dog and cat. Our cat is very easy, but our dog is a fairly new rescue who is a scared dog and often does not want to go outside for walks. Asel was very patient and bonded very quickly with both animals. She sent us pictures and updates every day during our trip. We came home to 2 very happy animals and our home was just as we left it!”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”
About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal. I’ll make SURE everything is ok 👍🐾🍇🌞 My schedule is completely open, so I can work at whatever hours are good for you. I provide all services except for taking care of pets in my house. I care for pets by making a connection with them, keeping them within there barriers and keeping an eye on them at all time. Ok
“Gigi is kind, respectful, tidy and great with my pets. I have three of them which can be a handful to look after but she did a great job at looking after them while I was on a business trip. They all seemed to like her, and when I returned she kept my place very tidy and clean. I will arrange a weekly walking service with her in the future so the puppy can let out energy throughout the day. It was a pleasure working with her!”
“Iris was great with our pup. She was always timely and had our dog smiling ear to ear whenever with her. We hired her many times and would highly recommend her for house sitting.”
“I had Arin watch my dog & cats for a few days while I was gone and she was so great! I met up with her prior to leaving and I immediately felt comfortable with her and trusted her to take good care of my pets/ be in the house. She was super sweet and my dog took to her right away. She sent me daily updates and pictures and I felt completely comfortable while I was away. Would definitely rebook :) thank you Arin!”
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.
“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Palisades Park is $60

Iris is wonderful - reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. She followed all instructions to a tee. She was able to bond with my pets immediately, even my pup who gets nervous when I travel. She left our home clean and orderly... I can barely tell she was here. I look forward to having Iris back!
Marine was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for my pup, Hunk! She kept me updated with constant pictures and messages and followed his routine perfectly. Hunk was so happy and in great spirits when I got home, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 — I highly recommend Marine! 🐾
Tatiana did a great job taking care of Ace and Jack while we were away! She was reliable, attentive, and followed all of their care instructions. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her!
My experience with Alitha was wonderful. My anxious and fearful dog took a liking to her immediately. I have never left him with anyone outside of our household, so I was very nervous. Alitha put me right at ease with her lovely demeanor. She sent me updates throughout the day and she made it possible for me to enjoy my daughter's wedding knowing Henry was in very capable and loving hands.I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
Rachel was again amazing watching our Indie! She is so communicative and sends the best pupdates. She is so thoughtful and caring for both Indie and our home. She not only followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, but she also improved on them for Indie’s benefit. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Rachel knowing he would be loved and cared for. Rachel left our home in impecable shape. She is very thoughtful and caring and a real dog lover. I can’t recommend her enough.
This was my first time using Noelle to watch both my epileptic cat and my new kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She stayed at my house for the weekend since my cat, RAMMY, needs medication three times a day. Before my trip, Noelle came over so we could go through everything together, including RAMMY’s medication routine. As a self-proclaimed paranoid cat mom, I told her I really appreciate updates, especially since it’s so important that RAMMY gets his medicine on time. She went above and beyond by letting me know every time he received his medication, along with sending pictures and little updates throughout the weekend so I knew both cats were doing well. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Noelle to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter, and I’m so grateful for all of her help!
Lolla was amazing and took great care of Benson. He needs meds and has high anxiety and she did a wonderful job of making sure he was comfortable and looked after. She also handled my pet parent panic and anxiety incredibly! Would strongly recommend her to take great care of your pup!!
Mohammed is the best! He was super flexible when my plans got rearranged. He stayed in my apartment and took after my kitties like they were his own. He sent updates and pictures every day, followed all my necessary instruction, and kept my home clean. 10/10 would book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Palisades Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palisades Park on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 19,186 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palisades Park. 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 Palisades Park 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 Palisades Park 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 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!
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.
