“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
“Christine was great. She paid attention to detail and took care of my guy while I was gone. Very thankful to have had here there watching my pup. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs, so caring for them has always been part of my life. I’ve regularly pet-sat for family members, and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re on vacation. I know how much pets mean to their families and I’ll give your dog the care, attention, and love I’d want for my own I’m currently taking online, mostly asynchronous grad classes, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care Monday-Friday. My only scheduled class is Tuesdays from 4-5pm. I’m also available on weekends with advance notice, so I can plan ahead and give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions for feedings, walks, potty breaks, and any special care, while making sure their pets get plenty of playtime and attention. I respect their home and send updates and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.
About: I care about your schedule, your animal's training, and their individual needs. I'm flexible, professional, and ready to make your fur baby happy!! I strongly believe in structure for the wellbeing of our pets so I will be punctual and professional but also fun! Your schedule matters the most to me. I always ask for a breakdown of the pet's schedule and any special needs. I respect all boundaries of your home and make sure your pet is safe and happy
“Allison came to visit our cats once a day while we were away for a long weekend. The cats seemed to have a nice time and were all in good spirits when we returned. She followed our instructions and reached out with any questions.”
About: We genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a husband-and-wife team, you’ll have two dedicated animal lovers caring for your pet, giving you added peace of mind and flexibility. We’ve been dog owners for over 20 years and have raised two dogs from puppies through their senior years. That experience has taught us patience, consistency, and how to care for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so we’ll always treat your dog like one of our own. Whether we’re stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, we’ll follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home, giving us the flexibility to schedule walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. With our two children in elementary school, we’re already active in the community and have a routine that allows us to provide dependable care before work, during lunch breaks, after school, evenings, and on many weekends. As a husband-and-wife team, one of us is often available, allowing us to be flexible and reliable for your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, a walk to burn off energy, or a little extra companionship while you’re away, we’re happy to help and will always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities. During every drop-in visit or walk, we’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications (if needed) to favorite walking routes and playtime preferences. We know that keeping pets on their normal routine helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. We’ll treat your home with the same respect we’d expect for our own by ensuring doors and gates are securely locked, keeping your home tidy, and making sure your pet is safe before we leave. We’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. We understand that every dog is unique, so we’ll take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and comfort level to provide patient, loving, and dependable care every visit.
“Aliyah’s absolutely hands down the best person to contact if you need care for your pet if you are near the Hackensack area. I have tried a few dog walkers and after seeing how well she cares for my pet I ALWAYS choose her now!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! Growing up, I had all kinds of pets. Today, my furry best friend is Twix, my playful male Yorkie, who keeps me smiling every day. Since I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also live just minutes from the George Washington Bridge and Newark Liberty International Airport, making drop-offs and pickups especially convenient for travelers. Im also close to a beautiful park and walking trails, providing the perfect setting for long walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of fresh air. Whether your pet loves adventures outdoors or relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I am able to feed and walk my pets at set times, and build in play breaks into my weekly schedule. I’m available for home visits, extended stays, drop-ins, walks, and in-home care as needed. I’m flexible and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs.
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! With 13 years of pet care experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a dog mom with experience caring for German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, I’m comfortable with large, energetic breeds, but I absolutely love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, feeding, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶❤️ I am available for morning and evening walks, feeding visits, and check-ins throughout the week. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will ensure they receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. In my own home, I care for my Belgian Malinois, who keeps me active and has given me valuable experience with energetic dogs. 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.
“Diana and Andrew are absolutely wonderful! We have used them twice so far and they are very responsive and send pictures during their deop in. We reached out to them very early in the morning requesting a drop in visit for the evening and they accommodated us with no problem! Thank you both for treating lala so well. We will definitely use them when needed!”
About: What sets me apart is my patience and how I read dogs instead of forcing them. I’m good with stubborn dogs, strong pullers, senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I stay calm, don’t rush them, and adjust to each dog’s pace and personality. I focus on safety, consistency, and trust, making sure every walk or visit is a good experience. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Ive also been around dogs of different shapes and sizes my whole life! Pet care is part of my regular routine. I plan my days around walks and visits so I’m not rushing and can focus on each pet. I stay consistent during the week and flexible when owners need adjustments. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walking, and potty breaks, and I give them time to settle in without rushing. I always supervise them, especially at first, to make sure they’re comfortable and calm. I keep my home clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they have a quiet place to rest. I also send owners updates and photos so they know their pet is doing good.
About: I have been using Rover for years. I love animals especially dogs. I always lead with care and kindness for all animals. I will make sure your pup is safe, taken care of and gets the best walk. I am full time student, who is usually free during evening times or afternoons. Perfect for the night walks or around lunch time. I am always willing to figure out a way to fit my schedule with the owners to ensure their pet gets the care they need. For my pup, he is very energetic,so we always take a walk around or play fetch. He is a happy dog,and I can ensure during my walks your dog will come out happier then ever.
“Peyton was amazing! We were looking for some last minute doggie care, and Peyton was very communicative, friendly, professional, and kind right from the start. Throughout her visits, she was always on time and gave detailed updates with photos. We knew our dogs were in great hands! Even when surprises were thrown her way, Peyton handled every situation with care and grace. We would happily have Peyton back to care for our beloved animals!”
“Andrew always comes in clutch at the last minute! I’ve used Andrew in the past and Timo already knows that when Andrew comes by it’s play time! As always Andrew is communicative, punctual and focused on full attention for Timo while he is here. Couldn’t recommend Andrew enough!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner since 1989 and have worked at high end cage free daycare facilities in California! I am well versed in doggy body language, helping with problematic behaviors, and caring for special needs and senior dogs. I have three day weekends so when you need some time away, I can make sure your babies are walked, fed, and showered with love. As a former professional housekeeper I can assure you that your home will be treated with the utmost care and respect while I care for your furry loved ones.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Teaneck
Jenn was amazing. Our cat is very nervous and scared. Jenn managed to make Phoebe feel comfortable with her by the end of the sit and they had a lovely bonding moment. I would highly recommend Jenn if you want a sitter who truly wants to make your pet happy along with being fed while you’re away.
Diana is amazing and provided a wonderful experience. She followed my instructions, communicated clearly throughout the visits, and took excellent care of my cat, which I could tell through the daily photos where I could see him warming up to her. She also went above and beyond by cleaning his wet food plates and cleaning up after he had gotten sick. I’m genuinely thankful for her thoughtfulness and level of care. I absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking her again the next time I need someone to check on my cat!
We hired Libby for two weeks of drop-in visits with our 4 year old cat, and we were SO happy with how she took care of our him! We really appreciated the extra time she took for a pre-booking meet and greet to meet us and our pet, her daily updates complete with cute photos, and the thoroughness of care she provided. Libby is a great communicator, incredibly detailed, treated our cat like her own, and went above and beyond in her care - even bringing in a package from outside during one of our visits. Our relatively shy boy was crawling in her lap by the end of the two weeks. We will definitely be booking Libby in the future!
Rhinesca took great care of Tyler while we were away. She took him for walks, made sure he had fresh water and food, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated knowing Tyler was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.
Amanda went above & beyond during her visit with Lucy. I couldn’t have asked for a better drop in. She was attentive to not only Lucy, but also the entire apartment letting me know if things looked out of place. I can tell Lucy was cared for & played with throughout the drop in. Will book again!!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Teaneck is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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.

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.
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 Teaneck. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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 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.
