About: I've grown up in a family surrounded by animals, even beyond dogs and cats, and now live on my own with my two beautiful kittys. It would be my pleasure to take care of your dogs, as I miss spending time with the ones that live with my family. I'm used to having animals of all ages and sizes, with special dietary restrictions, intense attention requirements, and specific health issues, so very few things will be enough to deter me from taking care of your babies. My job incurs a lifestyle which has me leave work relatively early, so I should have no problem being there for your pet by 3:00 P.M. at the latest every weekday and saturday (I typically don't work sundays at all). Adapting to the setting of your house is no problem for me, and so long as your pet is comfortable there I should have no issues looking after them in whatever way you'd like. As long as instructions are clear and concise, your pet will be well taken care of while I'm there.

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.

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!
“Nicole took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and made sure our cat felt loved and cared for while we were away. This is the 2nd time we’ve hired her, but it sure won’t be the last!”
About: I have had pets all of my life. I am a teacher so I am used to schedules, responsibilities, and caring for others with a high level of care. Our pets deserve to have the same love and care that they give to us! I am a teacher but will have plenty of availability in the summer months. I have early mornings, afternoons, and weekends otherwise during the school year. I am able to care for your pet in your home.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog Sugar since I was 12 years old, feeding him, walking him, cleaning his crate, and now changing his diaper in his older age. I am very responsible and caring when looking after dogs. After Sugar broke his neck and needed surgery, I helped him eat and take his medicine, as well as holding him in my arms and comforting him. I now take care of two other dogs as well, Rocky and Sparky. When I’m home, I walk Rocky every morning, make sure the dogs are eating and drinking, give them cuddles, and play with them. Also, 2 years ago, I dog sat for two dogs, one of them being an older dog named Lucky that is blind, partially deaf, and diabetic. I made sure to follow all the instructions given on taking care of them and administered Lucky’s insulin shots daily. As I was dog sitting, Lucky had a serious health scare and needed to go to the vet. I was responsible for taking care of him throughout the process, getting in contact with family members, and ensuring that he got the care he needed to recover. Thankfully Lucky is ok, and his family is very grateful to me for the care I provided him while they were away. I am a college student in New Brunswick, so my availability varies on the weekdays, but I have open availability on the weekends. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am available after 5:30 PM. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I am available after 3:30 PM I care for pets by following the instructions given to me by their owners and facilitating a caring and welcoming environment. The pets’ well-being is my top priority and I will ensure that they are properly taken care of.

About: I have a two senior furry friends that always seek attention. 🐶🐈⬛ My 12 year old pup was diagnosed with insulinoma about 2 years ago, and ever since she has been living the best senior life full of pup cups and Trader Joe’s salmon skins. ❤️ It is through her that I have learned a great deal in friendship and cuddles. 🫂 I am currently working part-time on Rover on the weekdays and weekends when needed. I do have a schedule on my pet’s meal time for 10am, 12pm, 6pm, and 10pm. 🕙 All times vary, and can be accommodated. ❤️ My home is right by the Leonia forest, so it’s the best for taking our fur babies on strolls to allow them to get more fresh air and whiffs of nature. 🌱 All standard necessities such as bathing, grooming, and feeding I am capable of. If needed, please do let me know your preferred routine, and any allergies, medications, or food diets for your pup(s) that I should be mindful of.
“Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and can’t imagine a home without them! I’ve had my own pups since I was little and currently share my days with my dog, Jagger. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which makes my schedule very flexible. I love spending time with dogs & cats and giving them plenty of love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make things easier for you while ensuring your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. Please let me know if your dog or cats has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of—like medication, dietary restrictions, or separation anxiety. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m great with dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels, but it’s helpful to know their personality and what makes them happiest!

Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Paramus stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Paramus 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.

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.

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.
