About: I worked for Animal Loving Care (ALC) for 2 years when I lived in NYC. During that time, I walked dogs, I was a pet sitter and worked in the daycare department. The company wanted me to come back but I moved to New Jersey once I became a mom. It's a long commute for me to go every day taking public transportation to New York with my son. I've been walking and taking care of dogs from external clients that I have and who ACCEPT ME TO GO WITH MY SON. You can see photos on my profile. I'm a stay-at-home mom, fully dedicated to caring for and raising my now 2 and a half old son. I also walk some of my clients' dogs and feed their pets when needed. We can make an appointment to meet and meet the dog before. I can take care of your pet at my home for as many days as necessary. walk your dog as many times as necessary. Feed them and play. I am a stay-at-home mom raising my two and a half year old son. I am available full time to care for your pet, taking him/her for walks, feeding it, and playing with them. We live in an apartment, but we have parks nearby, and there is plenty of green space right downstairs. My son is a calm child, and he likes animals. He doesn't hit, bite, or scratch, neither the animals nor us.
“Honest feedback here - I was a little hesitant in using Xavier as he was young without too many years of experience, but I was in a bind and my last two sitters flaked - I saw that he was rated as a star sitter though with great reviews, so moved forward here and I am so glad I did. His communication skills are above the charts. He is extremely responsive, communicates very well (seems to truly care about your pets and their needs) and was always great about texting updates and photos - Too boot, he was extremely accommodating as the drive was a bit far, but he knew I was in a bind and took the job without hesitation - Moreover, he was very punctual and came at the times I needed him too. I can't tell you how nice it was to come home after my trip to a home where it was very easy to see my babies were well looked after and taken care of - Lastly, he has very good energy and I felt good leaving my babies in his hands even though was a stranger -”
“Xunzi did a great job! She kept us updated during her visit with our cats and sent a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend Xunzi for your cats.. Thank you Xunzi.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! I currently work as a secretary from 12pm to 5pm on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings before noon and after 5pm on weekdays. I have more flexibility on weekends and can accommodate house sitting when needed! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!
About: Hi! I have been an animal lover my entire life and I love the fact that I can spend my days doing what I love; providing exercise, love, and care for animals! I believe that taking care of animals involves more than a simple check-in or walk. I am always looking for ways to mentally stimulate your pet, provide daily exercise, basic training and giving lots of belly rubs. Honestly, It’s about taking the time to connect with and bond with the pets I have been entrusted to care for. *Sits with me include regular daily updates, regular walks, cuddles, fresh water refill, food and treats (as instructed). On days when the weather is less than ideal (extreme heat, cold or severe rain), we will go out to take care of business and spend the rest of the time indoors playing fetch and cuddling on the couch. **I am committed to providing you with a full-service customer experience** **Your pet's health and well being are my top priority, prior to providing care, I require a meet & greet where we will discuss your pet's needs to customize a plan suitable for your pet. **I take my job as a pet care provider serious and am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge of the Pet Care industry to offer the best care to all my clients (furry and human). Please contact me with any questions or to set up a meet & greet! Have a pawsome day! Betsy
“Mya was truly a blessing and the perfect kitty sitter! She was extremely attentive and loving to my two little spoiled cats. She was always on time and spent a lot of quality time with them. They were instantly in love with and felt super comfortable with her. I was away for work at my new job and wanted to fully committed without worrying. She sent many cute pictures and just went above and beyond. Hire her! But not when I need her 😅 (jk) you won’t regret it. ♥️”
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”

I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own.

I make sure she gets plenty of exercise through daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities in our backyard. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine closely, provide a safe and loving environment, and treat them with the same care and attention I give my own dog. I understand that every pet is unique and will tailor my care to their individual needs.
“Casey has continued to be a great source of help when we go away. She accepted the request that I sent with little notice which I greatly appreciate. She takes the extra effort to make sure we come home to a clean home too which I appreciate as well!”

“Diana and Andrew took excellent care of my furbabies while I was away for a week. Diana sent me pictures everyday from the visit which put my nerves at rest (this was my first time away from my kitties for so long). She was quick to respond and accommodating which I appreciated a lot. will definitely be booking again in the future should the need arise ?”
“Larry took care of our cat while we are away for a vacation and we’re extremely happy with his care and visits! He isincredibly professional, kept all of his words and very communicative. Our cat enjoyed his time together with Larry. We will definitely rebook his service in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I currently care for my own 14-year-old dog, so I’m familiar with senior pet needs, including slower walks, extra patience during mealtimes, mobility assistance, and maintaining a comfortable routine. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, exercising, and providing lots of attention and affection. I regularly take my Doberman, Claddagh on runs and help care for my sister’s dog, so I’m confident handling both large and energetic breeds. I’ve also cared for a rescued litter of kittens and have experience with cats of different personalities and temperaments. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower-paced routine, I’ll provide dependable care tailored to their needs. I’m currently a full-time student at Lincoln Tech, but I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am generally available between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM on weekdays, have open availability on Fridays from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and am available all day on most weekends. Outside of school, I babysit and care for family pets, so I’m used to balancing responsibilities and maintaining consistent routines. I always make time to provide attentive, dependable care and will communicate clearly about my availability when booking. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, exercise, feeding schedules, or other special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have experience with dogs, big or small, and have taken care of pets for neighbors and friends ever since I was young. I am able to handle pets with care and respect and understand body language and cues to ensure both of our safety and comfortability. I understand that pets are a crucial part of people’s families and I would never do anything to jeopardize the safety of one’s beloved fur baby. Monday-Friday I am available from early mornings until 2 PM and Saturday-Sunday I’m available by request! I am flexible though so definitely feel free to reach out and I can see what I can do! I pay great attention to detail, making sure any doors, fences, cabinets, etc that need to be closed to ensure the safety of your pet stays closed and double check before leaving. I am comfortable walking long distances for a long period of time so when it comes to walking, I’m your girl. I am extremely timely and am a perfect fit for anyone who likes to keep a solid routine for their fur babies and can feed them or walk them precisely at the times you need me to, based off of my availability. I have cared for dogs as small as a chihuahua and as big as golden retrievers, but I have never encountered a dog that didn’t feel comfortable around me, even ones labeled as “aggressive”. Any post clean up or care needed after walks or meals are a given, just give me the details and I will have them done!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Hackensack
We had a great experience with the pet care service for our dog, Cola! Jinghong was very patient and caring with her, especially since Cola is an older dog and needs extra attention. We really appreciated the regular visits, feeding support, walks, and overall communication. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of Cola — we truly appreciate it!
Emily was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond while watching him. She provided thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Brady was happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for the entire time. Knowing he was treated with so much love and attention made all the difference. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.
Tatiana goes above and beyond and is by far the best pet sitter/walker Penny has ever had. She is reliable, communicative, responsible, patient, and so kind. She takes Penny for long and scenic walks, plays fetch with her, and takes time to sit with her and give her plenty of pets and treats. I would recommend her to anyone!
I cannot recommend Maxibel enough! She has been absolutely amazing with my dog!! She is so kind, caring, and attentive. My dog genuinely gets excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m away. She is always punctual, responsible, and incredibly reliable. One thing I especially appreciate is how consistent she is with updates and photos, which always reassures me that my dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and treats every pet like her own. I’m so grateful we found her!
This is our first time using Rover and we felt so lucky that we found Karen. Karen takes care of our pets not only with full of experience and patience, but also with love and sentiment. She’s always so considerate, thoughtful and responsive and she gets along with both of our pets so well just after a couple of visits. We trust her 100% with our pets and will definitely rebook with her next time we are out of town. I highly recommend Karen.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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.
