About: Hi! 😊 My name is Eleanor. We accept only one client at a time! We are home full time. I have always loved dogs! I love discovering the unique personalities of every dog I meet whether it's on a walk, in my care, or at a dog adoption event. I have provided dog care for my friends and neighbors for 40+ years. I have also fostered many dogs and puppies for a local rescue group. I have experience with senior dogs and young puppies. Hi! I am home full time which means your dog will get a lot of attention and TLC. Playtime and potty: Numerous backyard time throughout the day Meal time: I typically separate the dogs during meals so they do not 'share' :) I require a meet and greet with your dog before a scheduled stay to make sure your dog gets along with my pets and feels comfortable in our home. You may want to book daycare before a longer stay so your dog gets used to our home. It is important that your dog is well behaved and is not aggressive or reactive to other dogs. Our cat keeps to himself most of the day. We live in a single family home with a fenced-in yard (6' high PVC) and 1 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. We also have a XL crate that can be used if your dogs prefers. The cat litter is kept in a room blocked off by pet gates where only the cat will have access.
About: i'm lisa. i have a big heart for animals and would love to help take care of yours. i have a cat, maple, who is my best pal. my main experience with pet care is dog walking and pet sitting in the owner’s home. i cannot pet sit in my own home, as it would make my cat uncomfortable. feel free to reach out! i work full time during the week but am available weekends, occasional weeknights, and a weekday here and there if i take the day off. my condo is on the third floor (one set of stairs) and is pet friendly. we have space to hang out, do some bird watching, and go for walks around the complex.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats by my side my entire life, and caring for animals has always been more than a hobby—it’s truly my passion and calling. I have 13 years of pet-sitting experience as well as hands-on experience working at a Humane Society, where I cared for animals of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications, supporting pets with chronic medical conditions, caring for seniors, and keeping up with happy, high-energy pups. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Trust and loyalty are at the heart of the care I provide. My goal is not only to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for, but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in dependable, compassionate hands. I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time focus, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. Your pets are my priority, and I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits based on their individual routine and needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my number one priority. While my home does have a fully fenced yard, I prefer caring for pets in their own home whenever possible, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for several years, both my own pets as well as family and friends. I have experience with all different sizes of pet and temperament, as well as different ages of pets from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I currently have availability M-F 3:30-9pm during the week, the weekends I have much more flexibility for any time of the day or night! I have a fenced yard at my home with lots of space to play outside! My home is also right by a park that is very friendly for pets. I can also crate animals in your home if needed.
About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.
“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”

About: I’ve pet sat for neighbors’ dogs of all ages since high school, and I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and cleaning up waste. I’m also very routine-focused—I stick closely to your dog’s schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a mutt who recently passed, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, lovin, and caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pup like my own and provide daily updates with photos, plus quick notes on meals and how their day went. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I work Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons into early evenings, and Sunday mornings into early afternoon. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and extended visits. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide consistent care, along with daily updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. 🐾📸 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any household rules you have in place. I make sure your pet always has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and comfort. For dogs, I’m careful with leash safety, door safety, and picking up waste on every walk. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean, make sure doors and windows stay secure, and respect their comfort level—whether they want playtime or quiet companionship.

“We had a fantastic experience having Nataliya take care of our cat while my wife & I were on vacation in Aruba. We really appreciated how Nataliya kept in touch with us & was constantly sending us pictures & texting us to let us know how she was doing while we were gone. Nataliya made us feel very comfortable & we definitely will refer her to our friends & family…”

I’ve been the first choice when it comes to watching people’s pets for a long time now.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Saddle River
Tatiana was a wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to care for our pet to our specifications. She is a natural and loving with pets. We were nervous to leave our cat for the first time for an extended trip and Tatiana was a lucky find for us (and our pet!)
We had a great experience with Melinda caring for our cat Ramen during our vacation. She communicated clearly and consistently, followed all instructions carefully, and kept our home clean and tidy. She provided wonderful company for our cat, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again.

Samuel took good care of Cactus for a short two day visit. He kept me up to date with photos and the Rover cards. The second day he came at 6:50am which I think was too early, but I said that timing was flexible and hadn't specified anything. Cactus was a happy cat when I arrived home. Thanks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,450 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saddle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
