“Katie was incredible! This was our first time leaving our new rescue cat for a couple of days, and she eased my nerves immediately. She is reliable and trustworthy. Our little guy was so happy to have her company. She played with him and sent us updates. Would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a kind and confident sitter!”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Joseph as our very first dog sitter! Leaving our dog Skye with someone new was not an easy decision—she’s extremely protective of me, not very social, and her size can be intimidating. But Joseph handled her with calm confidence and patience. To our surprise (and relief), she warmed up to him faster than we imagined. Once she connected with him, we knew we had found someone special—Skye doesn’t give her trust easily, but when she does, you’ve got a loyal friend. Even our shy cat Anona, who typically hides from strangers, came out every time Joseph was around. That alone spoke volumes. Joseph truly has a gift with animals, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. We’re absolutely happy to use him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents looking for someone they can trust”

“This was my first time trying Rover & I’m extremely pleased?. Cynthia took the time to come & meet Blue and he loved her from the start. That made me very at ease because I was leaving the country for 9 days & he's never been left alone or with other ppl. She followed all instructions given & sent a video of him after each visit. He was his normal self & displayed no signs of anxiety ??. I will definitely be using Cynthia again for ALL upcoming vacations. ❤️”

About: If you're looking for a dog-lover and loyal caretaker, I'm here for you and your pet! I'm happy to provide a loving space for your pet while you travel, or walks when needed. I work from home mostly--I am in the office two days a week (every Tuesday and Wednesday.) All other days I am flexible with my schedule. Pets are welcome on my furniture--while they are here, they are free to make themselves comfortable! Playtime, walks and car rides (if they like them) are encouraged.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through regularly dog sitting for my friends and their pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet I care for like my own! I am currently working full time but I have weekends off, and sometimes a day or two during the week so weekends are best but feel free to reach out about weekday availability! I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play. I also have a cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for pets and making sure everyone has a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s individual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

About: i'm lisa. i have a big heart for animals and would love to help take care of yours. i have a cat, maple, who is my best pal. my main experience with pet care is dog walking and pet sitting in the owner’s home. i cannot pet sit in my own home, as it would make my cat uncomfortable. feel free to reach out! i work full time during the week but am available weekends, occasional weeknights, and a weekday here and there if i take the day off. my condo is on the third floor (one set of stairs) and is pet friendly. we have space to hang out, do some bird watching, and go for walks around the complex.

I’m available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and some Mondays so feel free to ask me and I enjoy spending my free time making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel most at ease. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer providing care in my clients’ homes. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I always make sure to follow their regular feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions provided by their owners. Safety and cleanliness are very important to me, and I make it a priority to respect both your home and your pet’s individual needs. I also believe communication is key, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Upper Saddle River on Rover is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $39 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 26,380 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
