About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.
“As pet parents, our greatest concern is the safety and joy of our animals. When my pup Frank and I started working with Joannie, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about either while Frank was in her care. She has proven to be professional, caring, and patient when it comes to her time with Frank, especially considering he is in his puppy phase. She always provides great feedback and equally fantastic pictures from their walks together. I look forward to having her look after Frank more! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their fur family!”
“Lisbeth has been a wonderful addition to our family of pet caretakers! She is always on time and polite, and Ravioli always has a good walk- looking forward to having Lisbeth help us for a long time!”
“We also feel very safe and Emma has been so helpful at helping us book her on the app. Love that she sends pictures of our girl Blu which is refreshing to see and she seems to be very happy. I love seeing the pictures it just ensures shes doing a good job so now we are becoming a regular with re-booking a standing appointment!!”
About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! I am available most days during the day, weekends included. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I should almost always be able to accommodate your requests. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog, so your dog will be housed safely, and will have a four-legged friend to play with. I take my dog on frequent walks and would be excited to take yours along with us.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds for 10+ years. Pet sitting and dog walking experience of 6+ years! I have experience and am comfortable with dogs of all different temperaments, including puppies and kittens. I am currently home full-time and am available for drop-ins and or house sittings when needed! I am also available for last minute as my schedule is very flexible. I am available any time of day to care for your pets - including early morning or late at night. I have a friendly, golden retriever of my own and a fenced in yard. I am very good with animals of all kinds and sizes, including puppies and kittens.
“Alexa is amazing with my dog Houdini. He loves his walks with her. She offers genuine care, keeps him safe and is extremely reliable. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she offers when I’m traveling.”
“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”
About: Hello, my name is Tatiana! I’m a 28-year-old living in Woodcliff Lake, NJ, and a proud Rutgers University alumna with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine! I’ve been in love with animals of all kind for as long as I can remember, driving me to pursue this degree! While at Rutgers, I gained hands-on experience working with horses, cows, goats, sheep, and pigs on the university farm. Additionally, I’ve spent over five years as a veterinary assistant and surgical nurse at a pet hospital, specializing in the care of cats and dogs. I’m proficient in administering oral medications and subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. I also have experience with chemotherapy medications, having cared for my dog, who has had a bladder tumor for nearly three years. I share my home with a grumpy 14-year-old Bichon Frise/Shih-Tzu and a 4-year-old Scottish Fold cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, whom I rescued during my time at the veterinary clinic. My love for animals knows no bounds, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I offer a range of services including dog walking, overnight care, and pet sitting! So whether you're going on a weekend getaway or need someone to take care of your fur baby during the day, I've got you covered! I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet kitty or pupper! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for a snuggle session while I’m there! If you're interested in my services, please feel free to message me to discuss your pet care needs! I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology at Kean University with the goal of working with children. In addition, I wanted to continue my passion for working with cats and dogs, so I decided what better way than pet-sitting! I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Thursdays, I’m available from the morning until 3:30 p.m! Please note that my house sitting fee covers 10-12 hours overnight (depending on my availability) and one midday drop-in! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adhere strictly to their established routines to ensure the pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow the feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in stimulating playtime and exercise tailored to each pet’s needs. I also ensure the home remains secure and well-maintained during my visits. This includes tidying up areas like vacuuming around the litter box and cleaning up any pet-related messes. Additionally, I provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep the pet parent informed about their pets’ well-being!
“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I work full time so I have the most flexibility on Friday-Monday. For weekdays I am available 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm. On Mondays and Fridays I am also available between 12-2. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family members, and clients—including dogs with anxiety, especially while their owners are traveling. Many of these dogs had previously stayed in large commercial boarding facilities where multiple dogs share the same space, which often increased their stress and anxiety. I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference a calm home environment and personalized one-on-one attention can make. I am also certified in American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid, so I’m prepared to respond in case of an emergency and provide attentive care for your pets. I focus on patience, consistency, and gentle, loving care to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure. With dedicated attention and companionship, I’ve watched anxious dogs gradually become more relaxed and confident—sometimes they even seem reluctant to leave! :) I’m home full-time to care for your pup. This means your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular walks, and consistent, loving care throughout the day. I have the time and flexibility to focus on your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. I keep my schedule flexible, but I only care for one dog at a time to provide the best possible experience. Because of this, spots can fill quickly—especially during holidays—so please plan and book in advance. Located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, my home is designed to provide comfort, security, and plenty of room for your dog to relax and play. Your pup will enjoy a park-like backyard—nearly half an acre—fully fenced for safe exploration and outdoor fun. Whether they love to run, sniff, or simply lounge in the sun, there’s plenty of space to feel at home. In the summer, I also set up a dog-friendly swimming pool so they can cool off and have some extra fun. I share my home with a very friendly 9-year-old Black Lab who is gentle, well-socialized, and enjoys calm companionship with other dogs. To ensure every dog gets the attention, care, and comfort they deserve, I typically host only one dog at a time (with a maximum of two during holidays). This allows me to focus on your dog’s individual needs and create a low-stress, personalized experience. Your dog will be treated like family here—safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy because it gives me the opportunity to build lasting relationships with both pets and their families. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and nothing makes me happier than earning their trust and becoming a familiar face their pets are excited to see. Whether it’s dogs, cats, birds, or any other furry (or feathered!) family member, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two pets who are my whole world, so I understand how important it is to leave them with someone who is dependable, caring, and attentive. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. From belly rubs and playtime to cuddles and keeping routines consistent, I’m here to make tails wag, whiskers twitch, and pet parents feel completely at ease. After all, I believe a house isn’t truly a home without a pet! A teacher on summer break who loves animals! Available all day Monday-Friday for daily walks, check-ins and just a friendly face to keep your pets company while you’re away! Safety is my top priority! We will discuss safety measures and YOUR routine to ensure safety and security always! Secured, safe, and a fun time is a MUST!
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.
“Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.”
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 27,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Saddle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Saddle River. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Saddle River.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saddle River. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
