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

About: I have been around animals for my entire life. My family always had a dog and a cat. At a young age, I began walking our dog and was the main person in my household to play with our cat. As I grew up, my love for animals grew and I started caring for other small animals like hermit crabs, fish, and hamsters as well. I have enjoyed spending time with these animals and caring for them. Over this time I have learned to be patient and let these animals show me who they are. Whether your pet is high energy and needs frequent walks/play or would prefer to lounge around and take in some always welcomed affection, I am more than happy to indulge them.

About: I have taken care of my pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medication to small dogs (under 30lbs). I also have experience walking and feeding larger dogs. I enjoy doing activities outdoors and have more availability in the summer as I am a teacher. I am a teacher, so during the school year I have availability after 3:30PM and on the weekends. However, I have a very open schedule for the summer! I have a fenced in yard and no other pets in my home at this time. There are no little children in my home. My family members all love dogs!

About: Dogs are not our whole live, but they make our lives whole! I love dogs and have experience dog walking and sitting. I can handle any size dog. I volunteered for three years at the Bergen County Protect and Rescue shelter. I enjoyed this experience tremendously and have learned to handle any dog temperament. I attended Bergen County Technical high school and graduated with a dog grooming certificate. I am even dog CPR certified! I have owned dogs of different sizes the biggest was a large chocolate lab and the smallest is a morkie. I will get to know your dog and what makes him or her happy. I have lots of energy and love taking dogs to the dog park. Give me a call if you would like to meet! I recently graduated college with a marketing degree. Taking the summer off from working full time! I like working on rover because it gives me flexibility in what my schedule looks like. I always request a meet and greet at the clients home with both them and the animal present. I like getting a feel for the land and the animal and at the time I would answer any questions and or special request! All while making friends with the pup making sure they know I am a safe person. My first priority is that your pet feels comfortable with me and I feel confident in doing the job. At that time I would book the service if all goes well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and understand how important routine, patience, and trust are for every pet. As a dog owner myself, I know each dog has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, enrichment, medication, or simply calm companionship, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your dog. My goal is to create a safe, consistent environment where your pet feels comfortable and secure. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly care. I’m also happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for their pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know they’re in good hands.

About: I have been a dog owner for several years now! I understand what it’s like to worry about our four-legged children while we’re away from them. Not all of us get to have the luxury of having family and friends care for our pets when we can’t ourselves. My mission is to make sure they get enough play time, lots of love and yummy treats! I love taking my pups to the park, or on a hike as much as the weather permits, so if there’s a park nearby I’d be happy to bring them by to let off some energy. You won’t be disappointed with the care and attention your pets will recieve from me. So, rest assured they will be in good hands.

“Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is often a stressful for an owner but knowing Craig is keeping a watchful on them for drop in visits aleviated a half stress. Craig was punctual and provided consistent communication. Craig is very kind and understanding of my senior dog’s needs. His punctuality ensured there were no potty accidents. Despite terrible rain storms during the visits, I returned to find my home clean and my dogs content which is a testament to Craig’s respect for me home as well. I highly recommend Craig for drop in visits.”

About: Hi! My name is Jessie Rae! I am not only a pet caretaker, but a pet owner myself! I know the importance of making sure your pet gets the best attention and care possible! My love and knowledge for animals allows me to guarantee that your companion's health and happiness come first. I'm most comfortable with small/medium dogs (Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Beagles, Shiba Inus, Bulldogs, Shelties) and with certain larger breeds (Pitbulls and Lab/Retrievers). Over the years of taking care of dogs (and cats too!), I've understood that each pet is unique and cannot be treated like another. I promise to treat your pet like my own, and fully cater to their needs. I hope to bring joy and excitement to your pets life, in the most efficient way possible. :) I currently work from home, so I will be available to stay with your pet around the clock! I occasionally step out to run errands or go to the gym for no longer than 3 hours. I live in an apartment, where there is enough space in the living room for play time. Walks can be given as requested by the owner, but if no schedule is given I will do three 30 minute walks.

About: With over three decades of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and versatility to ensuring the well-being of animals. My journey began with a deep love for creatures of all kinds, evolving into a lifelong commitment to their care, training, and happiness. From nurturing playful puppies to providing specialized care for senior dogs, I’ve mastered the art of meeting animals’ needs at every stage of life. My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs. This diverse background equips me to adapt to any pet’s personality, needs, or challenges. I pride myself on creating safe, nurturing environments where animals thrive, whether it’s through customized training plans, meticulous health monitoring, or simply showering them with love. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a commitment to lifelong learning about animal behavior and care. With 30 years of hands-on experience, I offer not just expertise but a genuine passion for enhancing the lives of pets and their owners, making me a trusted partner in their care. As a former elementary art educator now a stay-at-home mom, I seamlessly blend my pet care experience into my daily routine, ensuring our animals thrive alongside family life. My flexibility and availability allows for a harmonious, pet-friendly environment with ease. Dedicated to care, love and enrichment, I ensure your pet’s safety, trust, and comfort in my home. My securely fenced yard includes a designated pet relief area, kept clean for hygiene. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs offer companionship, with interactions carefully monitored to suit your pet’s temperament. If crating is needed for rest or anxiety, I am happy to use your dog’s crate. My expertise spans puppies, senior dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and fish, allowing me to adapt to any pet’s unique requirements with confidence and care. I foster trust through transparent, personalized care, consulting with you to understand your pet’s routines, feeding, and preferences. My pet-friendly home is a safe, enriching environment, free from hazards, with spaces for rest, play, and feeding. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m present to provide constant supervision, ensuring your pet feels loved and secure. Regular updates and photos keep you connected, giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is thriving in my care.

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. ❤️

I have a nice fenced in yard and a beautiful park across the street. I live in a quiet neighborhood with nice streets for walks. There is also a dog park close by.

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my schedule is pretty flexible so I have a lot of time on my hands! My daily/weekly routine just consists of working and hanging out with friends! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

About: Hello! I’m Denise. I am a pet parent and have trained and raised small dogs for 20 years. I am currently raising a small dog that I care and love for so I understand the quality of proper care when a pet’s family is away. I plan to have my dog at home with your dog if you’re ok with it. Both dogs will eat, walk and play together freely. I don’t cage unless told otherwise. I work full time Monday to Friday, 9 - 5. I plan to pet sit weekends: Friday 12pm into the evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. I live in an apartment so I will plan frequent walks around the block and play time at local dog parks. Whatever the owner is open to is how I will host pets. For an easy drop off please bring a kennel (if needed), food, medications, a bed, personal toys or comfort items, a harness, leash and food.

About: I grew up with a dog that we lost at age 15, then I adopted a senior dog who I had for five years afterward. He had a variety of health issues I had to administer medication for, including epilepsy and arthritis. In March of 2024, I adopted a puppy, so I now have experience with younger dogs as well. I allow drop off/pickup between 8AM and 8PM. I work from home full time, M-F from 9AM - 6PM. I can take your dog out to pee numerous times throughout the day and can take them on longer walks 1-2 times per day, weather permitting. I only board dogs who are fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours at a time as I do not offer constant care. Please bring all of your dog’s supplies as I live in an apartment and don’t have extras: food, bed, treats, bowls, toys, chews/enrichment, leash and collar, and anything else you want to send them with to feel comfortable. I have poop bags and some toys they can share with my dog. I can only accept bookings with dogs who are friendly with others, as I have a dog of my own. If they do not seem comfortable together I have a baby gate I can use to separate them. My dog stays in her crate whenever I leave my home. Please note that I do not let dogs I am sitting sleep in my bedroom so they will be sleeping by themselves in whatever bed or crate you provide in my living room.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Teaneck

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Teaneck is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $46 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 26,341 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Teaneck. 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 Teaneck 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.

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 Teaneck with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Teaneck. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

  • 94% 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.

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.
