“Absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for better. My Oliver instantly loved her and so did I. Highly recommended and will be using Tatiana again. Couldn't be happier and feel more comfort leaving my baby boy- Thank you ; )”

“Ori watched our dog April for 4 days and he was amazing! He was very communicative and took such good care of April and the house while we were away. From daily walks to spending time outside and cuddling on the couch, we knew our energetic girl was in the best hands. Thank you Ori!!”
“Yvette spent a couple of days with Oliver and was great within. She provided timely updates and pictures, asked questions when needed and Oliver was great with her. Would definitely book her again.”
About: From belly rubs to insulin shots, I’ve got it covered! I’m a pet-loving pro who treats every fur baby like royalty—tails wag, whiskers purr! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my day—I’m organized, nurturing, and attentive, so feeding, playtime, and check-ins become meaningful, consistent parts of my daily rhythm. 🐾 I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe and seen. With patience, routine, and care, I build trust and treat them like family. 🐾
“Eric was an amazing sitter for Luna! We received daily updates of videos and pictures. It was the first time she wasn’t being taken care of by immediate family. Our girl is a fussy little eater but Eric was generously patient with our feeding requirement which needed boiled chicken on the daily. He walked and gave her all the play time she wanted. She got even more spoiled! He even ran out and got her extra Greenies and wet food when her supply ran out! We will definitely be asking Eric to watch her again when we can’t bring her with us. What a relief all around that we found such a great sitter!!”
“Alexander did a great job caring for my two elderly pets. He made sure my cat got his medicine and my dog went out frequently and ate his food. He was very communicative and responded quickly. Overall, I’m very satisfied and will definitely use him again if needed.”
“Paloma was wonderful! She took amazing care of Mylo, following all our instructions impeccably, communicated proactively, sending lots of photos and videos, and left our home pristine. It qould be our pleasure to have her sit with Mylo again!”
“Lisbeth was great with our furbabies! She took great care of our home & pets, and provided fabulous pictures while we were gone. She was very responsive to us, and also respectful in her updates, and not at all bothersome of our vacation. Our dog is high energy and pretty attached to us, and Lisbeth took excellent care of him, with lots of walks, fetch, attention and care, so he was happy while we were gone (& when we came back). We would ABSOLUTELY have Lisbeth stay again! Thank you Lisbeth - you’re a gem & rockstar!!”
“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have been using Rover for years. I love animals especially dogs. I always lead with care and kindness for all animals. I will make sure your pup is safe, taken care of and gets the best walk. I am full time student, who is usually free during evening times or afternoons. Perfect for the night walks or around lunch time. I am always willing to figure out a way to fit my schedule with the owners to ensure their pet gets the care they need. For my pup, he is very energetic,so we always take a walk around or play fetch. He is a happy dog,and I can ensure during my walks your dog will come out happier then ever.
“Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!”
“Pete went above and beyond! Incredible job as far as attention to detail and instructions. Very nice guy who kept us completely in the loop the entire time we were gone. Pete is easily the best dogsitter we’ve ever had and our dogs can’t wait to have him back. Whatever is above a perfect rating is what we’d rate him.”
“Angelina took such good care of our boy! She sent photos to update us and did a great job communicating and keeping us in the loop. She followed our instructions to a t and made sure Günther was comfortable, cared for, and entertained!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”

Lia was fantastic to house sit for my dog, Daisy! I got many updates while I was gone, including pictures and sweet notes on how Daisy was doing so I didn’t have to be concerned at all. Lia was respectful, responsive, and attentive, and I look forward to booking her again!
I’m so grateful for the wonderful care you gave my pup. ❤️ You treated him with so much love, patience, and kindness, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear how much you genuinely care about the animals you look after. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby! 🐾💕 I would absolutely recommend you and will definitely book with you again!
Alexandra was amazing with our dog, Otis. She provided constant care for him, and gave us many updates while we were away. She was also very responsive, answering me immediately whenever I reached out. She was able to bond with Otis very quickly. She worked with him, gave him patience, and easily adapted to changes in his routine/diet. We came home to a happy and exceptionally cared for dog. :) We would work with Alexandra again in a heartbeat!
Ori watched our dog April for 4 days and he was amazing! He was very communicative and took such good care of April and the house while we were away. From daily walks to spending time outside and cuddling on the couch, we knew our energetic girl was in the best hands. Thank you Ori!!
Jacob was amazing! From the first moment he established a great rapport with our 5 year old Golden Retriever Maximus and treated him with kindness and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for throughout the entire stay. We received regular updates, photos, and excellent communication, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came home to a healthy, happy pup, and we booked the next house sit right away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter.
Maddie was by far the best dog sitter. I have two golden retrievers that love to run, play fetch and go on hikes. She did all of the above and more. she sent me pictures, took the dogs hiking at the reservation, they went on 2 mile walks, played fetch and were very well taken care of. She is kind, respectful, communicative, and truly loved our fur babies. I highly recommend her. I will definitely hire her when we travel. I cannot thank her enough!! 🩷🦴🐾🦮
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!!
Great experience! Communication was easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She went above and beyond — Rocket is currently going through a hard time and she cooked fresh meals for Rocket every day and was able to get him to eat without vomiting, which has been a big challenge for him. She was also wonderful with Luna and made sure both of them were well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. They were clearly happy and comfortable. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her! 🐾
Hillary was absolutely amazing with our 17-year-old senior dog. Caring for an extremely elderly dog is not easy. It takes patience, experience, and compassion. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We had total peace of mind knowing that our dog was in such loving and capable hands. I can’t recommend her enough.
Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rochelle Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rochelle Park is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $65 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 19,003 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rochelle 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 Rochelle 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 Rochelle 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 Rochelle 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rochelle Park. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
