About: I have been caring for dogs since 2020, with experience providing dog sitting, overnight care, and boarding for friends, family, neighbors, and Rover clients. I have cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy spending time outdoors, making plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality time with pets. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and needs! I treat every pet like my own! I carefully follow their routine and any instructions from their owner while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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. Tengo un Pom de 4 años, lo que me ha convertido en una amante de los perros y en una cuidadora de mascotas dedicada. Trabajo en educación superior enseñando y orientando a estudiantes. Entiendo que cada perro tiene su propia personalidad, nivel de energía y necesidades, y me aseguro de brindar a cada uno paciencia, atención y mucho amor. 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.

“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 !”

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.

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.

About: Hi! We’re Rossy & Wilvin — a dog-loving couple who genuinely enjoy having pups around and making them feel right at home. 🐾 We know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, so our goal is simple: lots of love, attention, walks, playtime, and a comfortable home where your pup can relax and be themselves. We treat every dog like part of the family and are happy to follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, walks, and any little habits that make them feel comfortable. We’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how your baby is doing. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply having company, we’re happy to adapt to their personality. We’d love to be your dog’s home away from home. 🤍🐶 I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and can provide full attention to your dog! Walk them, feed them or even groom them. I have a super friendly dog ( Margot) and we have plenty of space in the house with lots of toys. The neighborhood is safe and we have plenty of parks nearby.

About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. Pet care in my daily life and daily routine is something I have open availability for at this time as long as I am notified 1-2 days in advance. Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.

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!!

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!

Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Saddle Brook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Saddle Brook is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 26,204 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saddle Brook. 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 Saddle Brook 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 .

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 , 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.
