About: I have over 6 years of experience in pet sitting for friends and family. My husband and I have a super friendly and playful Labrador Retriever who we absolutely adore! Together, we love playing, cuddling and training/exercising her every day. We love going to the dog park and take walks to a nearby lake. We also like making new pet buddies. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. I work from home and will be with your per throughout the care period. My house is spacious with a huge fenced backyard, so you can be assured that your loved pet will have plenty of space to run and play around. I am aspiring to get certified as a dog trainer and learn as much as I can :) I will be happy to watch after your babies while you are away! Rest assured that I will communicate their well being regularly and share pictures. I work from home and am available for Day care on weekdays. Day care is 8 hrs stay, and extended hours will be charged $8/hr. I am also available for boarding during the weekdays and weekends. Pets will be taken care of as per specified instructions. Your pet will play in the fenced yard. Pictures will be shared throughout their stay with me.
“Alissa is so thoughtful and caring of our pup, Lulu. It’s a comfort to know our dog is in such good hands. She always leaves details and she shares the best photos of our pup.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.
“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”
“Absolutely incredible service. Julie’s attention to details was outstanding. We would recommend Julie over and over again. If you want someone to care for your fur babies while you are away, this is the person to contact. My cat Elsa is not the friendliest to strangers but she warmed right up to Julie two days in. Look forward to have her take care of my babies when we go on our next trip. The visit information that I received assured me that my pets were in good hands. Always on time and great communication with me with the status of the each visit. Julie thank you so much !”
About: Hi! We're Gina and Alana, a dedicated mother-daughter duo with years of experience caring for all kinds of fur babies, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small rodents. Over the years, we've rescued and adopted over 15 animals, giving us experience with a wide range of personalities, breeds, and ages! We've been our neighborhoods go-to sitters for over 10 years. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. In fact, Alana loves it so much that she became a professional dog groomer. Our friends, family and clients joke that we're animal whisperers because animals seem to gravitate toward us wherever we go. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go on walks or simply have someone nearby, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. We know how much your pets mean to you because we feel the same way about ours. When they're with us, they're family. ❤️ We can't wait to meet your babies! We’re now caring for pets full-time, which means more flexibility, more attention, and more kisses for your fur babies! Just let us know when you need us and we'll be there. We currently have 8 fur babies of our own, all with different personalities, routines, and care needs, so we understand that every pet is unique! Just let us know any special instructions, preferences, quirks or routines your pet has and we'll follow them. Whether it's a specific feeding schedule, a favorite toy, a bedtime routine or even needing a special phrase before they'll eat!
“Joclyn was great with Buster and communicated with us really well to understand his "quirks". We came home to a happy dog (and cats and fish!)!! We would definitely recommend Joclyn to anyone and would have her back anytime we need someone to help us out with Buster!”

About: I am a teacher in Secaucus who recently moved to Rockaway. I love dogs and my greatest joy in life is spending time with my dog, Bronxie! I’m a teacher who is looking for summer work which makes it perfect to do pet care with an open schedule! I am available Monday-Friday in mornings and afternoons. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for dogs of all ages. Also, I make sure all dogs get along together and have their own space when they need it.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, cats, and neighbors dogs for the entirety of my life. I love animals and have been around them constantly! I’m currently working full time.

I’m very comfortable and familiar with dog care and all different types of pets. I’m able to accommodate to any different type of setting and any type of dog
About: Hi!! I would love to help you with your pet care needs. I have a dog of my own who I have had for 6 years, since he was just a puppy. I have pet & house sat for friends and family members for years, often seen as a good “go to” person because of my love for animals. I’m also comfortable with providing care for plants, lizards, etc. as I have cared for them in the past! I work remotely so I am quite open to working around your schedule. Whatever works best for you will work for me! I walk my own dog 3 times a day so I can work your pet into that, or we can set up separate timing. If my dog is also welcome to stay at your home or on walks, he can be a great companion for pets who want a friend! He loves other dogs, cats, humans, etc. If you would prefer that my dog not join, he can stay home with my roommate. Let me know!
“Mylene is an amazing sitter! She recently watched our babies while we were away for a mini trip, and we couldn't be happier. From the moment we met her for the meet-and-greet, we knew she was the best choice, and she didn't disappoint. Mylene is super communicative—we received perfectly timed walk updates every morning and evening. She is incredibly reliable and prompt with her replies, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking her services again.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She watched our cat, Shrimp Toast, over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were out of town visiting family, and we felt SO at ease. She communicated great with us, provided us the cutest pictures of Shrimp Toast, was considerate, and most of all, our cat loved her! I look forward to having the peace of mind I did on this trip as I do my next :)”

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 Stanhope 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.
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 Stanhope 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 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.
To find sitters in Stanhope 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 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.
