“Geoff was absolutely wonderful!!! We have an extremely challenging German Shepherd who we were nervous about leaving but Geoff was kind and firm with him. He sent quite a few pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease. We will definitely have him in again to take care of our Bo.”
“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”
“Andrew was such a wonderful sitter for my two cats. Both warmed up to him quickly and I felt confident they were in good hands. Andrew kept me up to date with detailed notes and amazing pics. I am so happy to have booked with him and will for sure rebook for future sitting needs.”

I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”

“Diana obviously had a natural connection with/understanding of our dogs. She communicated openly from start to finish and did exactly what we asked. Highly recommend moving forward! :-)”
About: I feel as though i have an ability to communicate with animals in ways I cannot communicate with humans. I believe all dogs are gifts from god and we are fortunate to experience their unconditional love. I currently work from home, which allows for a very open schedule, and affords me a lot of freedom when necessary. I can also adapt my current situation to make special accommodations. we have a fenced in yard, I also have a county park located at the end of my street, which also has several dog parks included within it.
About: Have raised and owned pitbulls, German Shepard, Dalmatian, experience with huskies. Great with all breeds. Walks of any duration, none too long or short. Any and all special instructions and dietary needs will be followed...trust! I currently have open availability and can take requests at any hour, any day. Am willing to do light travel. Just send a request and we'll make it happen! I take my two dogs out for no less than 90 minutes a day each. I have a fenced in back yard for little breaks when I'm in and out of the house and play with them frequently.
About: As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and clear communication are part of my everyday life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, follow care instructions carefully, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. During the summer I am working less hours I am available Monday- Friday after 3 pm and the weekends I am free all day. Caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, so looking after other pets fits in naturally. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches your dog's energy level and routine, whether they enjoy a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. During drop-in visits I am capable of doing anything that is needed to care for your dogs needs.
About: I have been a dog lover and animal rights advocate all of my life and I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity. Making dogs happy has always been such a fulfilling goal of mine so walking and playing with your dogs is one way I can do that. I have previously worked at a dog hotel and know how to handle different sizes and temperaments so I am experienced in all situations. I am a big advocate for the more cuddles the better so your dog will feel loved for the entirety of their time with me! I currently work from home and it is flexible so I will be able to walk your dog as often as they need to. I have two dogs of my own that are super sweet and loves other dogs so your dog will fit very well into our already existing routine. I am respectful by following the rules of your home when I come into your home to pick up your dog. I will never do something that you do not approve of first whether it be giving a certain treat, going to a park, etc. Trust is the key!
“We booked Rivera last year and rebooked this year. Our kitties immediately remembered her and started bugging her for attention the minute she came through the door! Big thanks to Rivera for taking such great care of them, especially sticking to our medicine regimen. We always appreciate the photos and visit summaries. Will be booking again when needed!”
About: I’ve been caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take pride in providing personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and will fit you and your fur baby into my schedule. I am a very calming, sweet person and look forward to meeting you and your pet! I cannot have pets in my home, but I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I will follow and instructions you have and will ensure your fur baby is taken care of!
“She watched Daisy and did a fantastic job. Daisy was a little nervous at first but she worked with her and by the end of my vacation they were sitting on the backyard stairs cuddling!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little for family and neighbors. I can bathe, walk, feed, and care for dogs. I have 5 cats so I am very well known with how to care for a cat, I can clean litter boxes, feed, and care for all cats. During the week I am available early in the morning before 8am, and I also am available after 3 most days during the week. I am available on weekends at any time. I have 4 cats and feed them everyday. I also give one of my cats medication everyday. I take very good care of my cats, I have watched over a cousins dog in my home and it went very well, the cats never messed with him and he was very happy. I have also dog sat my brothers dog many times since he was a puppy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Passaic
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!
Andrew was a great cat sitter. He took care of our two cats, making sure our older cat got attention and food (while also giving attention to our very friendly younger cat too). He communicates well and went above and beyond helping with a litter robot issue. I highly recommend Andrew for cat care.
Christina is awesome! She made sure our boy got plenty of love and exercise and gave very detailed updates. Not only that - we had an issue with a tricky lock and she went above and beyond to communicate with us and get in the house to ensure Jet was taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely look to her again when we are looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Christina!
Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!
Melissa was the best care taker for my 3 cats including my elderly one! I was traveling for my daughter’s wedding and this was the first time I didn’t have any available family members to care after my cats. Melissa took great care of them and I didn’t have to worry or stress about if my cats were okay while I was away. I would highly recommend her!

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 Passaic 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Passaic. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
