About: I bring over 15 years of devoted experience caring for dogs of every personality and age. From energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch, I've been the person neighbors, friends, and families trust to provide calm, reliable, heart-centered care. What sets me apart is my patience, and my ability to make every dog feel safe, seen, and loved. I can assure you they are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion. Pet care fits natural into my weekly routine because I run my own business and have flexibility. I am able to coordinate the needs of your pet with you on an individual basis. I am very reliable, responsible and loving. Your pet will be treated with the same attentive, loving care I would expect. I provide pet care directly in your home, where your dog feels safest and most comfortable. I follow routine closely to keep everything familiar and stress-free. My focus is on creating a calm, secure environment in your space.

About: I’ve loved dogs for years and have 8 years of experience in short-term dog sitting and walking. I’m available weekends and provide love, care, and exercise. My little girl also loves dogs and enjoys playing with them, so your pup will get extra companionship and attention! I work full days but love spending time with dogs in the evenings and weekends, walking, playing, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m flexible and happy to follow the owner’s preferences to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety. I’m comfortable with live tracking, check-ins, and any other safety measures you’d like, so you can feel confident your pup is well cared for in a secure environment.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy because it gives me the opportunity to build lasting relationships with both pets and their families. I’m the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, and nothing makes me happier than earning their trust and becoming a familiar face their pets are excited to see. Whether it’s dogs, cats, birds, or any other furry (or feathered!) family member, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have two pets who are my whole world, so I understand how important it is to leave them with someone who is dependable, caring, and attentive. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. From belly rubs and playtime to cuddles and keeping routines consistent, I’m here to make tails wag, whiskers twitch, and pet parents feel completely at ease. After all, I believe a house isn’t truly a home without a pet! A teacher on summer break who loves animals! Available all day Monday-Friday for daily walks, check-ins and just a friendly face to keep your pets company while you’re away! Safety is my top priority! We will discuss safety measures and YOUR routine to ensure safety and security always! Secured, safe, and a fun time is a MUST!

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

About: I am an ER Nurse and travel Nurse who LOVES pets. I thought care for dogs would be the perfect way to do a side job while doing something I love. I grew up playing with my cousin’s dog. I’ve taken care of my family’s dog for about 3 years and then took care of my roommates dog for 2 years. I fed the dogs, took them potty, played with them, and took them for walks. I’ve also helped them learn tricks. I am energetic and caring when taking care of these dogs. I always make sure they feel comfortable in the living space and make sure they are getting enough physical activity throughout the day. I love playing with them and making them feel at home. I have a BIG fenced backyard where they can run and play.

About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I grew up in a family used to dogs and cats who have lovingly owned us 😁. I personally have owned mostly cats as I live in a building that does not allow dogs. I have experience in administering medication as well. I work per diem at West Point Military Academy and would not accept a house sitting or walking assignment unless I was truly available the days needed. I love to walk and am very active, so I have absolutely no problem with taking your dog out for walks and playing. My priority is to make sure your pet is secure and loved while you are away.

About: I have been around pets since I was 4. All of my family and friends trust and relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. I have worked as a veterinary assistant and a full-time pet nanny for dogs with special needs! I can ensure I will take care of your beloved fur baby! Currently, I am between post-undergraduate and graduate school, leaving me with plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your beloved furry friends! In a client’s home, I would ensure the pet is given more than enough attention and care including walking, feeding, and playing while keeping the home in excellent condition.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Upper Saddle River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Upper Saddle River is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 25,366 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Upper Saddle River. 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 Upper Saddle River 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 Upper Saddle River 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 Upper Saddle River. 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.
