About: Hey there! My name is Halley, I'm 26 years old, and I've recently relocated to New Jersey from Seattle, where I’ve been working as a Rover petsitter and dog walker for several years. (Find me on trusted housesitters to see my other 20+ 5 star reviews!) I've got special experience with: - large dogs (leash aggressive) - elderly animals - administering medication (mostly to dogs, cats, and horses) - kittens & puppies - taking care of farm animals, especially chickens and horses! (: I’m currently working remotely, so I am flexible for mid day walking needs and especially free on weekends! My mornings and evenings are also wide open For in-home pet care, I like to make sure that we maintain as much of their usual routine as possible so they don't feel too anxious or sad about you being gone! We can do all kinds of fun outside or indoor playtime, and I love nothing more than being all piled on the couch reading a good book with a sweet pup or cat <3

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!

“Sara was an absolutely amazing pet sitter for the week. She took such good care of my two cats that this was the first time they weren’t mad at me for days after I returned home. She sent plenty of pictures everyday that really put me at ease and showed me that my babies were happy. Sara also went above and beyond when my flight home got cancelled and she was able to go and feed them for an extra day. Sara was great with communication and anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets. I will definitely be using her for any future vacations!”

When I was worried I would have no one to watch my Nori over the holidays, Julia came through and was very transparent about what she needed in order to gjve Nori the best care! She was super flexible and sent frequent pictures and updates and let me know whenever she would need some flexibility on her end, which I was happy to accommodate! I will definitely be considering her in the future if I ever need a cat sitter again! :)”

About: Hello, neighbors! My name is Min, and I’m a technical writer and editor. For many years, I shared my life with a sweet Pomeranian who was so much more than a pet—she was my best friend and, in every sense, my little girl. Even though she’s been gone for some time, I still find a little piece of her in the eyes of every animal I meet. Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my own little one, as well as with my friends’ dogs and cats. Those experiences are what inspired me to join Rover in the first place! 🐾 Ever since moving to NYC, one of my greatest joys has been getting to know my neighbors’ four-legged family members, saying hello, and spending a little time playing with them. I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. To me, every dog and cat is special, and I genuinely cherish the time I get to spend with them. So please, say hello! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members. And who knows? If they’re interested, I could even teach them a little Korean! 😂🇰🇷 Perhaps we can start with a few K-dramas on Netflix. 🐾🤗 Hello, I currently have a full-job, but hours are flexible and I usually work from home! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play. Your dogs/cats will be my sole focus when I am with them! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play.

About: As a dog dad and future medical doctor, I bring a unique blend of compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to pet care. My experience in healthcare has trained me to be observant, reliable, and adaptable, which are qualities that are essential when caring for pets. I understand the importance of trust and consistency, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy dogs, providing gentle care for older pets, or administering medications, I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As a student currently applying to medical school, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adapt to fit your pet’s needs. My routine is structured yet flexible, ensuring that your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away! As a dog dad myself that has used Rover on numerous occasions, I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain routines, and ensure plenty of exercise, play, and affection. With my healthcare background and attention to detail, I’m always mindful of a pet’s well-being, keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or distress. Your furry friend will be in responsible, loving hands—just like I’d want for my own dog.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends and giving them the attention they deserve. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends, so I'm comfortable handling everything from small, energetic pups to larger breeds with different needs and personalities. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's routine—whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while you're away, and I make sure they get plenty of care and affection. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walks in the Edgewater/Fort Lee, NJ area — weekday evenings after 6pm and all day on weekends. I’m currently working full time but I still try my best to spend as much time with pets as I can. I’m available anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with the cutest cat in the world — my British shorthair his name is Uni. He’s shy so we can only host quiet and gentle cats and dogs at mine so they can have their own spaces.

From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! Growing up, I had all kinds of pets. Today, my furry best friend is Twix, my playful male Yorkie, who keeps me smiling every day. Since I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also live just minutes from the George Washington Bridge and Newark Liberty International Airport, making drop-offs and pickups especially convenient for travelers. Im also close to a beautiful park and walking trails, providing the perfect setting for long walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of fresh air. Whether your pet loves adventures outdoors or relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I am able to feed and walk my pets at set times, and build in play breaks into my weekly schedule. I’m available for home visits, extended stays, drop-ins, walks, and in-home care as needed. I’m flexible and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs.

About: I’ve been around animals, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I’ve had boxer and pit bulls my entire life growing up, I treat them like family. I am very good and patient with playing and taking dogs on walks and getting their energy out. I am currently getting my masters degree and in my internship semester, so I have availability Monday and Wednesday up until 4pm. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday I have availability until 12. I think taking dogs for walks on leash is best, and if you have a fenced in yard I would never leave a dog unattended outside. I

About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - South Hackensack

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in South Hackensack is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $35 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 November 2026, there are 26,534 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across South Hackensack. 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 South Hackensack 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 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in South Hackensack with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
