About: I have been a dog walker and pet sitter for a year so far! I've also had dogs ever since I was a kid and have had cats the last few years. People have entrusted me to stay in their homes to take care of their pets and also do daily visits and walks! Currently for me I have been working with animals as my main job while I have the time to do it and figure out more permanent work plans. I will do daily visits at my clients homes and can spend time playing or taking them on walks. I can also do overnights so they won't be alone! Since I have pets of my own at home I won't be able to care for them there.

“Katrina was great checking in on our 2 cats while we were on holiday. One cat is very skittish but she opened up and played by day 2. Katrina was prompt for all check ins and great with communication (even when we were slow). We will definitely be using her again to watch our babies.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

“I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !”

About: Need a patient sitter who understands your pet's unique personality? I'm an educator by day and an experience pet lover by night! I've been raising and caring for dogs since age 14, and recently expanded to offer cat check-ins too. My background in education means I bring a calm, patient energy to every animal, ensuring your fur babies feel safe, secure, and loved. My Routine & Availability SUMMER School is out, and I am available daily! I offer full-time care, potty breaks, and fun summer companionship. September - June I am a "Weekend Warrior!". My Fridays through Sundays are dedicated to pampering your pup. During the workweek, I am away at school during the day. However, I am open to hosting fur babies who are comfortable relaxing at my home while I am at work. My home is located on a quiet, low-traffic, cul-de-sac which is ideal for peaceful walks and minimizes outside noise for anxious pups. Furthermore, my home is set up to provide a safe, stress-free environment. Multiple floors, allowing separation of guest pets from my own pet whenever necessary for safety or quiet time. Finally, your dog will have access to a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for secure playtime and exercise.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have grown up surrounded by pets! My first pet was our family cat, Sadie, who lived to be 21 years old. After she passed, my parents welcomed two more cats into the family, whom I still love visiting and babysitting whenever I can. I am also a proud cat mom to my two fur babies, Stella and Sophia, who are both 2 years old and full of energy! In addition to my cat experience, I am an experienced dog walker and spent three years living with my roommates' dogs. During that time, I regularly walked and babysat them while their owners were at work. I truly love animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family members, give them lots of love and attention, and care for them as if they were my own! I am a substitute teacher and typically have afternoons and evenings available for drops in visits and walks. Because I have cats of my own, I cannot offer overnight care in my own home, but I would be happy to care for a pet overnight in their home! I look forward to creating a schedule that works for you! I live in an apartment with my two girl cats. I feed them wet food in the morning and evening, and keep a small bowl of dry food out for them to free feed throughout the day. My girls are brushed regularly and I clip their nails every two weeks. You might find some cardboard boxes from packages strewn about my apartment because those are their favorite toys! I have experience dog walking with a local company and loved meeting all of the dogs and getting to know their personalities and favorite places to go potty 😂 I treat every animal as if they were my own and look forward to caring for your babies!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep love for dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been responsible for their care, training, and overall well-being since I was little. I’m also a college athlete, so I’m highly active and love going on long walks, runs, and playing fetch to keep dogs engaged and happy. Before college, I was a frequent dog walker and sitter in my town, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Most recently, my family welcomed a golden doodle puppy named Frankie, and I played a big role in training her. Whether it’s caring for an energetic pup or an older dog needing patience and attention, I bring both experience and enthusiasm to every pet I watch I’m a college student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have availability mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Weekends, holidays, you name it in around. Happy and excited to help! Your dog will live comfortably in my home as if it’s a member of our family. I live in an amazing neighborhood with a dog park near by to walk your dog around. I also have a fenced in yard to ensure your pet is safe. I can also provide a crate if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for about 10 years and owned at least 1 since i was born! I just recently lost my mini schnauzer to brain cancer and would really love to help out where I can and hang out with some dogs (and cats) in the meantime! I have experience bathing, walking, and caring for senior dogs and puppies alike. I’m currently working from home and have a good amount of free time during the day to look after and care for your pup or cat! I live in a 3 story apartment and have no problem carrying a small dog upstairs if needed. I have room for a crate and surprisingly lots of room for your pet to roam around!

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve cared for my own senior dog with health needs, including giving medication, keeping an eye on any changes, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. That’s made me really detail-oriented and tuned in to each dog’s routine. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I always follow instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I want your dog to feel calm, cared for, and happy, and for you to feel at ease too. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to plan around scheduled bookings and keep my availability updated so pet parents can count on consistent, dependable care. I provide attentive care in both my home and a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, and make sure pets are not left alone longer than necessary. For walks, I focus on safe, structured outings that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I'm home 24/7, your dog will never be left alone for long and will get all the attention, love, and companionship they need. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while your pup enjoys a happy, comfortable stay. I'll gladly send photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they're having. Your pup will have plenty of room to play in my fully fenced backyard, with a dog door so they can head in and out whenever they like. I work from home and I'm here all day, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'm available 24/7, so whether you need daytime drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I can give your dog consistent attention and care while you're away.

About: Here’s what you should know before booking with me: - I’ve been on this app since May 2023 - I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, and I love them. They're one of my favorite animals, and I always treat them with patience and gentleness. - I can let you know how many pets I’m currently looking after if you’d like. - I usually reply pretty quickly, so feel free to reach out anytime! - I’m all about spending quality time with your pet. Whether it’s backyard playtime, walks around the neighborhood, or visits to the park, let me know what your pet loves most! - Crates are only used if requested by the pet owner. - I pay close attention to whether it makes sense to separate pets, and we can chat about this when you book. - I’ve got 4 years’ experience caring for cats. - I’ve given injections to dogs before, and if there’s anything specific I need to know for other pets, I’m happy to learn! - Need pet pickup or drop-off? I might be able to help depending on how far you are, and we’ll work out the details together. - I don’t offer grooming services. - Pet bath is not free. Before we book, just a heads-up that I’ll need a photo showing your pet’s up-to-date shots (including rabies). Can't wait to meet your pet! Since I’m around for most of the day at home, I can make sure they’re well taken care of, entertained, and feeling loved while you’re away. At my place or at the owner’s house, I always make sure to give pets the love and care they deserve by providing them with food, fresh water, and plenty of playtime. I also make it a point to follow their instructions on feeding, giving medication, and tending to any special needs. I believe it's important to make the pets feel at ease and secure while also honoring their owners' rules and routines.

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.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a big family of pet lovers where dogs and cats were always running around, so caring for animals comes naturally to me! I currently have three dogs of my own, including my sweet 15 yr old yorkie and a lively tuxedo kitten. Because of my experience with my senior dog and my kitten, I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy kitten playtime to gentle, attentive care for senior pets who need extra patience or meds. As a nursing student, I bring a detail oriented, calm, and responsible approach to every visit, ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. Im mostly available in the afternoons and evenings for walkies, drop-in visits, feeding, and play sessions. However, I can do mornings depending on the day, since I do work in the hospital in the mornings. I am also fully open and available for overnight house sitting! I make sure to structure my routine around your pet’s exact schedule so their day feels completely seamless. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and treat every animal like my own family. During house sitting or drop-ins, I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication instructions, send frequent photos and updates, and ensure your home stays secure. My nursing background means I’m naturally attentive to subtle changes in energy, behavior, or comfort.

About: I will absolutely speak to your pup in a baby voice! It is likely that we will become friends immediately. I am a medical student and have had experience balancing my studies with caring for pups. I can help with a bit of training practice, play in the park near my place, or acclimate your dog to public spaces. Whatever your dog may need, I will provide it! I am currently a medical student! Most of my weekday is spent at the hospital, and I would love to unwind on a walk after work in between the study sessions. Although I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space for your pup and a crate if needed! No other dogs or animals, just a dog loving boyfriend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Totowa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Totowa is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 25,588 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Totowa. 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 Totowa 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 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 Totowa 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 Totowa. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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.
