“Diana was really great with all of our pets. She was extremely flexible and accommodating with last minute changes to our booking and has great communication skills. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Andrew always does such a great job taking care of my 2 cats (one senior and one kitten). He asks great questions about their care, leaves detailed notes, and sends lots of pictures. I’ve booked with him a few times now and would highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend this sitter! She always sends the report cards and uses the items left behind for your pet (ie sniff mat that was set up or ball). She is amazing and truly cares for your pet!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and can’t imagine a home without them! I’ve had my own pups since I was little and currently share my days with my dog, Jagger. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which makes my schedule very flexible. I love spending time with dogs & cats and giving them plenty of love, playtime, and care. My goal is to make things easier for you while ensuring your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved. Please let me know if your dog or cats has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of—like medication, dietary restrictions, or separation anxiety. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m great with dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels, but it’s helpful to know their personality and what makes them happiest!
“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.”
“Scarlett is wonderful! We will continue to trust her with our boy as long as she continues to dog sit! She is reliable, attentive & our dog absolutely loves her. She has also helped us when we’ve needed help at the last minute and we are so appreciative!”
“I always feel at ease having Bryndon check up on my pup. I always worry since a corso is not an easy dog to manage but he always has tons of fun with Bryndon. I also enjoy all the cute pics I get :) he’s very respectful of our house rules too”
About: I've had many pets in my life, I've raised 3 dogs and have two cats. I've given basic training to my cats and given senior care to many a dog. I'm in school virtually so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and am open to traveling for services. Owning cats also allows me to be free in case of emergencies (they are really understanding). My railroad style apartment was decorated with two frisky kittens in mind so my place is pretty tamper proof. It's easy to isolate them from the rest of the space when (or if) introducing guests and easy to navigate for them with adequate space for play/sleep/snacking or whatever their little hearts desire.
“Sherri is amazing to work with. Very communicative and was able to accommodate me on short notice. I felt completely comfortable leaving our Luna in her care. Sherri is definitely our go to for pet care!”
“Arina was great with my dogs! She was able all three of them and would highly recommend her for anyone worried about getting a sitter for multiple animals!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: As a teacher, patience, responsibility, and clear communication are part of my everyday life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, follow care instructions carefully, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. During the summer I am working less hours I am available Monday- Friday after 3 pm and the weekends I am free all day. Caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, so looking after other pets fits in naturally. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches your dog's energy level and routine, whether they enjoy a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. During drop-in visits I am capable of doing anything that is needed to care for your dogs needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Hackensack
Helen was an amazing dog sitter! She watched our Siberian Husky, Esko, for five days and took such great care of her. She came beforehand to meet Esko, communicated with us throughout our trip, and sent pictures every day. We felt completely comfortable knowing Esko was in great hands. We will definitely use Helen again and highly recommend her!
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.
Andrew was a great cat sitter. He took care of our two cats, making sure our older cat got attention and food (while also giving attention to our very friendly younger cat too). He communicates well and went above and beyond helping with a litter robot issue. I highly recommend Andrew for cat care.
Lillian was absolutely wonderful with our two Shih Tzus, Smokey and Bandit. From our initial meet-and-greet to a last-minute request for a walk and feeding, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us updated, responded promptly, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Smokey and Bandit, and they were happy and well cared for every time she looked after them. We highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Katie has been a wonderful sitter for my cats! She was easy to reach and very responsive. She even agreed to an emergency visit when my cat toppled the water fountain over. I was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies :) Thank you, Katie!
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.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Hackensack stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 South Hackensack. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters 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 pet, 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.
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 sitter.
