About: I have been a dog owner for several years now! I understand what it’s like to worry about our four-legged children while we’re away from them. Not all of us get to have the luxury of having family and friends care for our pets when we can’t ourselves. My mission is to make sure they get enough play time, lots of love and yummy treats! I love taking my pups to the park, or on a hike as much as the weather permits, so if there’s a park nearby I’d be happy to bring them by to let off some energy. You won’t be disappointed with the care and attention your pets will recieve from me. So, rest assured they will be in good hands.

About: I've always loved animals and had a dog my entire life. I currently have three dogs who love going on hikes, to the dog park, beach, puppy playdates, and snuggling at night. I have an older dog with diabetes that I care for. I can give insulin shots if necessary. My current schedule is flexible, so I can stop in or walk your dog(s) almost anytime. I also accept last minute requests so don’t hesitate to reach out! I have experience walking dogs of various sizes and different levels of leash training. I will offer walking dogs or letting them out in the yard/stop ins.

About: I will absolutely speak to your pup in a baby voice! It is likely that we will become friends immediately. I am a medical student and have had experience balancing my studies with caring for pups. I can help with a bit of training practice, play in the park near my place, or acclimate your dog to public spaces. Whatever your dog may need, I will provide it! I am currently a medical student! Most of my weekday is spent at the hospital, and I would love to unwind on a walk after work in between the study sessions. Although I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space for your pup and a crate if needed! No other dogs or animals, just a dog loving boyfriend.

About: Hi! My name is Debora and I am Pom mom & insured & have First Aid/CPR certificate. I have 50+ positive reviews in another platform and have experience with dog walking and pet sitting. I have a 4 year old Pom which leads me to be a dog lover and dedicated pet caregiver. I work in higher education teaching and advising students. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I make sure to give each pup patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, boarding or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel confident that your pup is safe and happy while you’re away. My goal is simple: providing paw-sitivity for your pups! 🐾———————————————————————— Hola! Me llamo Debora y soy mamá de un perrito Pomerania.

Ya sea un paseo divertido, tiempo de juego, hospedaje o simplemente acompañarlos, trato a cada perro como si fuera de mi familia. I currently work full time and have time for morning or evening walks during the week. I am available full time Friday evening-Sunday as needed. In your home, I follow your dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I give attention and reassurance while keeping you updated with messages and photos.

About: Hi there! I’m Maria, and I absolutely love caring for animals — they’ve been a part of my life since I was little. I’ve volunteered at Paws NY and other dog-focused organizations, and helped friends and family with their pets over the years. I also have special experience with senior dogs, having cared for my own Bichon Frise, who lived to 16. That taught me patience, compassion, and how to make pets feel comfortable and loved at every stage of life. I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, play, and attention💗🐶 **What I Offer: - One-on-one care: Only one dog at a time, so your pet gets my full attention. -Never alone: Your pet will always have company and care. -Calm, safe home: Private, quiet, no kids or other pets. -Perfect location: Very easy access, calm, family-friendly and beautiful neighborhood! -Active or relaxed pets: Walks, play, and exercise for energetic pups; gentle, patient care for older or calmer pets. -Health & safety: Administering medications (pills, injections, topical treatments), following special diets, and monitoring senior pets. -Enrichment & comfort: Puzzle toys, scent games, and extra care for anxious or nervous pets. -Frequent updates: Photos and videos via WhatsApp or your preferred method, so you can see your pet happy and safe in real time. -Flexible scheduling: Drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended care tailored to your pet’s routine. -Grooming basics: Brushing, paw checks, and keeping coats clean and comfortable I have a very flexible schedule and can care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings — whatever works best for you! I love keeping dogs and cats happy with walks, playtime, and cuddles. We care for pets as a family — my mom, dad, and I all share the responsibility, so your furry friend will never be alone while staying with us 💗 I have my own apartment in a very calm and beautiful neighborhood— it’s a very pet-friendly area! Safety, calm, and love are my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels secure, happy, and cared for. I adapt to each pet’s personality and routine, creating an environment you can feel confident leaving them in.

About: Pets have always been part of my life. I've had dogs, cats, goldfish, betta fish, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. Currently in my care are the adorable bunny brother-and-sister duo I call the Wonder Twins, a senior Staffie mix who doesn’t like going down the shore so we’re weekend buddies, and Sassafrass, the “fraidy" cat. Each of these animals has its own rhythm and needs, and I've learned to pay close attention to what makes each one comfortable, whether that's a quiet room, a clean habitat, or a gentle, familiar routine. Since I'm retired, my days have a lot of natural flexibility built in. I can offer morning, midday, and evening visits throughout the week, not just squeezed-in slots around a nine-to-five. Pet care isn't something I fit around my life. It's become one of the things I structure my life around, alongside my own dog, Mojo. All of my care happens in your home, not mine. I come to you for dog walks and feeding visits, so your pet stays in their own familiar space with their own food, bed, and routine. For dogs, that means a walk at their pace around your neighborhood. For cats and smaller pets, it means fresh food and water, litter box or habitat cleaning, and some quiet one-on-one attention. At this time, I don't board pets in my own home. Keeping care in your space is part of what keeps things low-stress for your pet and simple for you.

We are so grateful for Geoff! He recently helped us out on very short notice when we needed someone to care for our dog, Cayenne, and our two cats so that our whole family could travel for a college visit with our son. Geoff was incredibly accommodating, reliable, and took great care of all three of them, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Geoff has been wonderful with Cayenne and is someone we know we can depend on. It means a lot to have someone we trust caring for our pets, especially when plans come together unexpectedly. We highly recommend Geoff and truly appreciate everything he does for our furry family members!

Pete is amazing. I was gone for a business trip last week and Pete came over every morning to watch Oscar and see him off to daycare every day. Oscar was thrilled, as was Sandy, to spend so much time with his best friend. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Pete was taking care of Oscar, and it was amazing to have one less thing to worry about. I literally cannot put a price on that!! Thank you, Pete!!

I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Passaic

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Passaic is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 26,151 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Passaic. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Passaic 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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 Passaic with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Passaic. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
