It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.

“Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!”

“Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!”

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.

I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide.

About: I have over two years of professional pet care experience working for Animal Loving Care (ALC) in New York City. During my time there, I worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, and in the dog daycare department, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. The company even invited me to return after I moved to New Jersey, which I consider one of the greatest compliments to my work. I now provide reliable, loving, and personalized pet care in New Jersey. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability: • House Sitting (Client’s Home): I am available on weekends to stay with your pet throughout the day and evening. I return early the following morning to continue their routine, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, meals, and playtime. • Boarding in My Home: I can welcome pets into my home any day of the week, as long as they are friendly and comfortable around young children. • Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: I am available seven days a week for walks, feeding, potty breaks, medication (if needed), playtime, and companionship. Depending on the time of day, I can accommodate visits with or without my son, depending on the schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before the first booking so you and your pet can get to know me. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own. I’m an experienced and responsible pet caregiver with professional experience caring for dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home and available throughout much of the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and personalized care. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and special instructions, and I always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. Your pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Hackensack
Diana is amazing and provided a wonderful experience. She followed my instructions, communicated clearly throughout the visits, and took excellent care of my cat, which I could tell through the daily photos where I could see him warming up to her. She also went above and beyond by cleaning his wet food plates and cleaning up after he had gotten sick. I’m genuinely thankful for her thoughtfulness and level of care. I absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again the next time I need someone to check on my cat!
Alicia is amazing and very kind! She went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt comfortable and safe during her drop in visits, which involved giving my cat medication. Alicia is reliable and professional. She communicated well and updated me with photos from each visit, which I appreciated very much.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!
Christine was fantastic taking care of Minino while we were away! She came by daily to feed him and always sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a reliable, attentive cat sitter.

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.

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.
