“We were in need of a sitter for our cat and this was our first time having Katie help us. She was always on schedule and attentive to details. She shared a lot of pictures of our cat and this brought me comfort knowing she was well cared for. Highly recommend Katie, and we will certainly have her sit for our cat again.”
“Alexa was great! She was incredibly responsive and took good care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated throughout, and we could tell she genuinely cared about our cats. We would absolutely book her again!”
“We had a great experience with Amanda for drop-in visits with our puppy! She was reliable, caring, and attentive to Sky’s needs. Sky was always so happy to see her, which made us feel even more comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We really appreciated her help and the love and attention she gave Sky. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ✨”
“Joannie is a kind and nurturing. She was respectful of my shy guys comfort zone and took good care of my little dog. Joannie did drop in visits for my older timid Yorkie and worked hard to try to win him over. Would recommend her and plan to use again in future.”
“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.”
“Omg! If you have not booked Joe already, you are missing out. Not only is he a wonderful person but he took care of my girls like they were his own. This is my first time hiring a dog walker and I was definitely a little nervous with the idea but Joe made the transition seamless and stress free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🙏 Thank you Joe for everything 🙏❤️”

“Lisbeth did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week. She was very quick to respond whenever I messaged her about any concerns or questions I had regarding my cat. I'd definitely book her again if I go away again.”
“Joseph dropped by to take of our cat for 3 weeks. For the entire 3 weeks Joseph kept an open line of communication and provided daily updates and pictures. Our cat loved Joseph. We highly recommend Joseph and will not hesitation to have Joseph watch our cat next time we are out of town.”
“Alyssa took great care of my cat during 2 long vacations so far. Our cat is not always the easiest to care for, but Alyssa listened and respected our wishes and tread carefully around ZELDA, eventually winning her over. Communication was excellent, will be booking w Alyssa in the future!”
“This was my first time trying Rover & I’m extremely pleased?. Cynthia took the time to come & meet Blue and he loved her from the start. That made me very at ease because I was leaving the country for 9 days & he's never been left alone or with other ppl. She followed all instructions given & sent a video of him after each visit. He was his normal self & displayed no signs of anxiety ??. I will definitely be using Cynthia again for ALL upcoming vacations. ❤️”
“Leigh is amazing! She took excellent care of our two fur babies. Right off the bat on the first meet and greet, we got an excellent first impression. She was friendly and brought them homemade amazing treats! When our trip came, she was in constant contact with us and sent so many wonderful pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip with the knowledge that our pups were safe and cared for. Leigh is a rockstar.”

About: I spent a year and a half raising a golden lab mix for the Guide Dog Foundation teaching basic obedience, house manners and socialization in busy public places. That experience taught me not only patience, consistency and how to read a dog's body language but also loving a dog with as much energy as him unconditionally! When it ended, I realized how much I miss having a dog in my life which is what brought me here. I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable with high energy pups and shy or chill ones too! I work from home Tuesdays, Fridays, and every other Wednesday so I'm available for walks and drop ins between 11am and 1pm and anytime after 4:30pm on those days. I'm also open to overnight boarding and I'll keep your dog on their usual routine with plenty of attention and photo updates. I live in a quiet house with no other pets so your dog gets my full attention! My backyard isn't fenced so all outdoor time is on leash or supervised. For overnights, your dog can sleep in a crate, dog bed or my room, whichever you prefer. Please send a crate or bed from home if your dog needs it to feel comfortable! The Glen Rock dog park is a short walk away for dogs who enjoy hanging out with other doggos. I can also follow your feeding and medication instructions if needed!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saddle River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 26,521 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saddle River. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saddle River. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
