âAlexandra is so so wonderful! Whenever I go away and have her stay with my 3 dogs, I never worry because know they are being cared for by someone I fully trust. She is kind and thoughtful. Alexandra sends photos every day and makes sure to update me about everything! She allows me to relax when I leave and thatâs the most wonderful feeling! Thank you for being amazing to my fur babies đĽ°â

âWe just had Jalisa watch our dog Chewy for the first time and it was wonderful. Chewy is a bit of a nervous guy and Jalisa was very understanding. She gave us updates throughout the stay. We already have her booked for another weekend.â

âHe stayed at my home with my pup Bamba for a week and made the whole process so easy. He was respectful of my space â the house was spotless when I got back â and, most importantly, I came home to a very happy and well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!â

âTracy was absolutely wonderful with Daisy! She took such great care of her and gave me peace of mind knowing Daisy was in good hands while I was away. She was caring, attentive, and made sure Daisy was comfortable and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Daisy, and I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!â

âJackson was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for Rufus. Incredibly polite, a calm and kind demeanour and really communicative - Jackson sent us some updates whilst we were away to show how Rufus was getting on. We would thoroughly recommend Jackson for dog sitting - he is very knowledgeable about dogs and Rufus definitely relaxed in his company. Jackson is extremely trustworthy too and thoughtful - he asked plenty of additional questions about what Rufus likes and dislikes. Thank you Jackson we will definitely use you again to look after Rufus!â

About: As a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and a current medical student with flexible hours, I bring a high level of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine compassion to pet care. Having managed my own dogâs health, routines, and daily needs for years, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members. I always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness, which is why I only prefer walking or sitting one dog at a time! Whether they need a high-energy walk to burn off steam or gentle companionship while you are away, your pets will be in safe, loving hands. My routine with school allows me to be flexible with midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions, ensuring your pups get all the attention and exercise they need right when they need it. While I prefer bookings ahead of time, I can do my best to accommodate last minute walks/care! Your dogâs safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I do not overlap bookings to provide undivided attention and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and vigilance I would give my own pet. I am careful with secure leash handling, attentive to environmental hazards, and strictly follow any dietary, medication, or behavioral guidelines you provide. You can count on reliable communication, prompt updates, and peace of mind while you're away.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I've learned that great pet care goes beyond feeding and walking. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand that they sometimes need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it's shorter, gentler walks, keeping an eye on their mobility, following medication schedules, or simply providing a comfortable place to rest, I make sure their individual needs are never overlooked. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I know how stressful it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like family. You can expect plenty of affection, companionship, playtime, and attention to their usual routines. I also love keeping pet parents involved, so expect regular photos, updates, and little glimpses of your pet's day. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving them with me as they do staying with me! I do my best to keep my schedule flexible around the pets in my care. I believe pets feel most comfortable when they can maintain their familiar routines, so I prioritize their regular feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and rest. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay, while also respecting their need for quiet time and space. My goal is to make their time away from home feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home, even when their family is away. Before each stay, I take the time to learn about your pet's personality, daily routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when caring for senior pets who may need additional supervision or a gentler approach. I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys lounging around, I'll respect their individual needs and let them settle in at their own pace. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet's comfort. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2020, with experience providing dog sitting, overnight care, and boarding for friends, family, neighbors, and Rover clients. I have cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Iâm reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy spending time outdoors, making plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality time with pets. Iâm happy to work around each petâs routine and needs! I treat every pet like my own! I carefully follow their routine and any instructions from their owner while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home. Iâm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while youâre away.
About: Hi, Iâm Zoe! Iâm from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. Iâve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. Iâve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. Iâm very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and Iâll see what I can do! Iâm sensitive and receptive to each animalâs unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
âShariana came to the rescue last minute when our previous sitter had an emergency and couldn't watch over our pup and she was incredibly communicative in coordinating the booking under such a time crunch. As for the care, she was incredibly loving to our dog during the sitting experience and sent us consistent text/photo updates while we were away, which was all much appreciated! We're definitely planning on using her again and would recommend her to any/everyone!â

âCharlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!â

âTatiana was wonderful with our puppy! She was caring, playful, and very knowledgeable. She not only followed all of our requests but also went above and beyond with her own thoughtful touches. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in her handsâ

About: Iâve 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 itâs 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. Iâm available for walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly care. Iâm also happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works best for their pet. Your petâs safety and comfort are my priority. Iâll follow their normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. Iâll also send photos and updates so you know theyâre in good hands.
âAnna was great! She sent updates throughout the day, and my dog was happy when I got back home. The apartment was also clean when I came back home - Thanks again, Anna!â

âGwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.â

âMichele was great! My cat, Piper, warmed up to her immediately, and Michele was very mindful of keeping Pipers schedule and routines. Would definitely book with her againâ

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Teaneck
We had a great experience with Sierra. We could tell that she took great care of Yoda while we were gone and also accommodated his fear of rain over a very rainy weekend. She respected our space and left our home very clean. We have already booked her for our upcoming travels and will continue to do so.

Cheyenne was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and we felt so comfortable knowing he was in her care. He can be a bit of a handful at times, and Cheyenne handled everything with so much patience and understanding. We are so happy we found her and truly grateful for the care she gave him. We would absolutely book with Cheyenne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, Cheyenne!

Alexandra was amazing with our dog, Otis. She provided constant care for him, and gave us many updates while we were away. She was also very responsive, answering me immediately whenever I reached out. She was able to bond with Otis very quickly. She worked with him, gave him patience, and easily adapted to changes in his routine/diet. We came home to a happy and exceptionally cared for dog. :) We would work with Alexandra again in a heartbeat!

We are so grateful we have found such a wonderful pet sitter! This was the second time Stephanie stayed in our home and cared for our dog, Archer. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She also left our house impeccable, which was a wonderful bonus to come home to. We couldn't be happier with Stephanie and highly reccomend her.
Rachel was again amazing watching our Indie! She is so communicative and sends the best pupdates. She is so thoughtful and caring for both Indie and our home. She not only followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, but she also improved on them for Indieâs benefit. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Rachel knowing he would be loved and cared for. Rachel left our home in impecable shape. She is very thoughtful and caring and a real dog lover. I canât recommend her enough.

Maddie was by far the best dog sitter. I have two golden retrievers that love to run, play fetch and go on hikes. She did all of the above and more. she sent me pictures, took the dogs hiking at the reservation, they went on 2 mile walks, played fetch and were very well taken care of. She is kind, respectful, communicative, and truly loved our fur babies. I highly recommend her. I will definitely hire her when we travel. I cannot thank her enough!! đЎđŚ´đžđŚŽ

Lolla was amazing and took great care of Benson. He needs meds and has high anxiety and she did a wonderful job of making sure he was comfortable and looked after. She also handled my pet parent panic and anxiety incredibly! Would strongly recommend her to take great care of your pup!!

Amanda took exceptional care of our 17½-year-old dog, who requires very specialized care and definitely isnât easy. From the moment we left, she provided compassionate, attentive care and kept us updated with thoughtful texts and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned home, our dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. On top of that, our house was immaculate. We are beyond appreciative of Amandaâs kindness, professionalism, and dedication. Itâs not easy to find someone you can fully trust with an elderly pet, and we are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!

I canât say enough about the diligence and care that Sam provides for Clyde. He walks him daily and also babysat him for 5 days while I traveled for work (in my home). He connects with Clyde so well. I thank God everyday for his help! What a gem. Thank you, Sam!

Great experience! Communication was easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. She went above and beyond â Rocket is currently going through a hard time and she cooked fresh meals for Rocket every day and was able to get him to eat without vomiting, which has been a big challenge for him. She was also wonderful with Luna and made sure both of them were well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away. They were clearly happy and comfortable. I would definitely book again and highly recommend her! đž

Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Teaneck is $101 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $117 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 19,223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Teaneck. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Teaneck walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Teaneck maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
