“I had such a great experience with Jinghong! My dog is usually pretty skittish around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. Jinghong has such a calm, patient energy that dogs naturally trust. She is reliable, communicative, and sends the sweetest updates and photos during and after each visit. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is with her. If you have a shy, reactive, or sensitive dog, I highly recommend Jinghong. She has been such a great match for my dog .”

“Andrew always does such a great job taking care of my 2 cats (one senior and one kitten). He asks great questions about their care, leaves detailed notes, and sends lots of pictures. I’ve booked with him a few times now and would highly recommend.”

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I'm home 24/7, your dog will never be left alone for long and will get all the attention, love, and companionship they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while your pup enjoys a happy, comfortable stay. I'll gladly send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they're having. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my fully fenced backyard, with a dog door so they can head in and out whenever they like. I work from home and I'm here all day, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm available 24/7, so whether you need daytime drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I can give your dog consistent attention and care while you're away.

“I have a really nervous and picky dog, and he warmed up to Chris within minutes!! I’ve had several pet sitters over the years and the only one he loves is his grandpa (husband’s dad). However, Chris has met him three times now and based on pictures alone I can tell my little guy is feeling more and more comfortable each visit. I am definitely a repeat customer! I have another trip in the next couple weeks and am SO glad I can go away without worrying about the stress levels of my pup. Thanks so much Chris + Jack!!”

About: I have two pets of my own, a cat and a dog. I know the needs to take care of both of them and would find it easier to handle yours. Worked at a pet hotel for a couple weeks and dealt with a variety of dogs (even cats) and know that each pet can be different and I'm ready to accustomed to your pet to ensure they feel comfortable and safe! I currently work at a nightshift so I would prefer to work during the evening. Depending on my schedule I would be able to work nightshifts on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Wednesdays. My dog is very playful and would enjoy having a bit of fun with yours! My cat is shy to newcomers so it might not interact with your pet.
“I booked Rivera a short time before a week long business trip. I had never used a dog nanny before. I live with two Dogs and one cat. Cat is a cat/no problem. Dogs are finicky and only pay attention to me. I didn’t know how they would act with another caretaker. I was so worried no one would be able to care for my beloved dogs. I asked Rivera to come by for a pretrip visit and the dogs just barked but surprisingly let her be in their space. Their attitude didn't phase Rivera at all. She knew just what to do! I left for my trip and she visited 3 times a day. Rivera sent txts, photos,and videos to me every visit. I could track my dogs well being and they were warming up to her! What I really like was she let the dogs be comfortable in their home. She took care of food, water meds. I could see each visit they were warming up to her and becoming more comfortable. Truly the best way to win them over. By the time I reurned home the dogs were good with their new friend Rivera. I know I can trust their care to Rivera. Nothing happens fast in this world but things done right in due time can be the perfect way. I would not hesitate as reccomending Rivera to you for your pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own dog during my teen years and continuing with my current dog, Jack — a 9‑year‑old German Shepherd/Chow Chow mix. I trained Jack through his puppy stage and still give him daily walks, playtime, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve also become the go‑to dog caretaker for friends and family. Whether they’re heading out of town or just need someone to stop by for a playdate, I’m always happy to help. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I’m currently in between jobs and have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m typically available throughout the week during the day for walks, check‑ins, or just spending quality time with your pup. I love filling my days with dog care, so I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. For drop‑in visits, I focus on making your dog feel comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow your feeding and routine instructions closely, refresh water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they get the playtime or quiet time they prefer. I always take a gentle, reassuring approach so your pup feels safe while you’re away. For dog‑walking services, I make each walk enjoyable and stress‑free. I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s energy level and comfort, keep walks positive and safe, and make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. After each walk, I ensure they’re settled and content before I leave. My goal with both services is to provide warm, reliable care that keeps your dog happy and gives you peace of mind throughout the day.
“Ashley doesn't just take care of our two high-maintenance cats - she makes sure everything in the house is safe, secure, and comfortable while we are away! I know it's all in good hands when Ashley is here.”

About: I’ve had family pets since birth, growing up with 3 dogs, and caring for family + friend’s animals on the side. I’m a cat owner with an ex stray and senior cat who knows a lot about reactive pets, and can provide compassionate care for animals of all emotional experiences. I worked with EASEL animal rescue in Ewing, NJ with their dog walking and cat adoption events. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, and have a car. I’m a college student with a car, *****and a flexible schedule. I have breaks in between classes I can drop in for walks, and on most days I can spend extended time with your fur baby!! I approach all animals with a genuine curiosity. W/ your help I get to know your animal well and will learn quickly what treats, food + handling style they love. I carry extra treats on me and make sure to win your pet over, and keep them company while you’re away. ** I’m an extremely neat person as well, I will leave your home cleaner than I found it!

About: I currently work at one of the top-rated doggy daycares in Elmwood Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have grown up around them my entire life, learning how to care for them with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. Working with dogs is something that comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. I work morning shifts five days a week, typically from 6 AM to 1 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. My days off vary each week, but I’m flexible and love dedicating my free time to caring for animals. I’m available whenever I’m not working and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My own pets are my spoiled babies, and I make sure they have everything they need to live their happiest lives from plenty of playtime and attention to regular meals, potty breaks, and the freedom to be their silly, lovable selves. I create a calm, caring environment where pets can feel comfortable, be themselves, and know they’re in loving hands. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with that same patience, affection, and care I would want for my own.
About: Growing up, my childhood home was affectionately known as "The Zoo"—and for good reason! From dogs and cats to bunnies, hamsters, hermit crabs, and fish, I’ve spent my life surrounded by a diverse cast of creatures. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve transitioned from a kid who loved animals to a seasoned caregiver who understands the nuances of pet behavior and health. I’m particularly well-versed in specialized care; I can confidently administer medications and manage complex health routines and I’m a dedicated "cat parent" to my own senior kitty who has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), so I truly understand the patience, vigilance, and extra TLC required for pets with chronic conditions. Whether your pet is high-energy or requires more care, they’ll be in experienced, loving hands. I am home all day with open availability and would love to fit your special furry loved one into my schedule and keep them company! I believe that every interaction should be rooted in building a genuine foundation of trust; when an animal feels secure, they can truly thrive. This bond is especially vital for pets requiring special care or medications—I take the time to move at their pace so that even during medical routines, they feel safe, happy, and relaxed rather than stressed.
About: Both my partner and I are currently semi-retired so our attention will be 100% dedicated to your furry friend. We quit our jobs to work on a camper van to travel the U.S. with our dogs! Our daily routine revolves around our 5 y/o Samoyed and 8 y/o Shiba Inu pups so we are familiar with different feeding schedules, routines, diets, personalities, etc. I'm currently taking a gap year so I'm pretty flexible and can accomodate a wide variety of schedules! My partner and I both spend our day walking and feeding our Samoyed so we are used to a routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. You can expect me to treat your pet and home as if it were my own. You can expect regular updates of what your pup is up to and rest easy, knowing they are in good hands! We've got no kids in our non-smoking home and our house is already set up to be dog-friendly for our own dogs, so we know what to look out for.
About: My love for animals is like no other. I have had many pets since I was born and given them all a wonderful life. I have sorted for family, friends, and strangers who have all trusted me to take the best care of their pets. I enjoy playing, walking, or just hanging out with dogs or cats of all breeds and sizes. My current dog is a rescue who is blind so I also have experience with medicine like pills, drops, etc. I am working part time and doing school online so I am very flexible with my times and availability I can be ready for you whenever you need me. I have a big fenced in yard for your dog to play and go potty and I also have a very friendly dog who loves all other dogs. All the dogs are welcome to all my house and will have treats and toys available!
“Claudia was great! Communicated with me the entire tire and was very patient when we had issues with our remote door lock system. Would recommend and happily use her services again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Passaic
Pete agreed to check in on our cat, Sandy, and feed her while we were traveling. He went above and beyond by checking in on her not, once, but twice! Sandy ADORES Pete and was thrilled by the (two!) visits. She told us all about it when we got home. Thank you, Pete!!
Olga took great care of Mango while we were away for the weekend. She followed our instructions and kept everything on schedule, sending updates and photos at every visit - which we really appreciated. Mango seemed comfortable and well cared for. We’d happily book Olga again!

Alicia is amazing and very kind! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt comfortable and safe during her drop in visits, which involved giving my cat medication. Alicia is reliable and professional. She communicated well and updated me with photos from each visit, which I appreciated very much.

Mariana was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely considerate, attentive, and thoughtful when caring for both of my fur babies, Loki and Pantera. They both adored her, which speaks volumes! 🐾 Even while I was away, she went out of her way to send me updates, giving me that extra peace of mind knowing my babies were in such good hands. Mariana is incredibly professional, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her kindness and genuine love for animals truly shine through. It’s not always easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️

Christina is AMAZING!!! She’s taken care of my cats a few times now, and every time she’s gone above and beyond, treating my fur babies like her own. They are both anxious cats, but love when Christina visits and plays with them while I’m away. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins and boarding for their pets. 🥰

Nicole has been a great sitter for my two cats. We were away for a week and she took really good care of them. My cats have special needs and she followed my request diligently. Her background as a vet tech allows her to handle my cats with confidence and care. She FaceTimed me everyday during the visit so I had great peace of mind. She was very gentle with the cats and they love her. I’ll surely book her again for my next vacation.

Sabrina was absolutely wonderful! Finding her was a true blessing, especially after a bad experience with a previous pet sitter. She was so caring and paid extraordinary attention to detail during every drop-in visit. We will definitely be rebooking with her for all of our future trips!

Michelle was great with my corgi. Communication while arranging the meet and greet could have been better but overall I’m very happy with the care she gave him for the drop-in visits. She listened exactly to what he needed and gave him lots of outside time. I would not hesitate to book with Michelle again.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Passaic is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $26 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 27,471 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

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 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.
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.
