From there I have worked for a dog sitting company since 2017/2018. Besides for a job I’ve been around animals all my life!! I have been a horseback rider since I was 5 and do currently own my own and have my own cat my everyday is surrounded by animals! Your pets are in good hands and will be treated as if they were my own I currently pet sit part-time on weekends but are looking to open up more times during the week! Mainly night time visits on the week will be available! I have always done my care by the standard of the owner. Whatever your normal routine with your pet will be done when I’m there! I want your fur babies to feel comfortable and at ease when their favorite humans are away! Meet and greets prior to the first visit are a must, for me to get to know you and your pets in a safe manner!!

“Maxibel did an amazing job taking care of my two pups! From the start, communication was clear and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals my dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I came home to two relaxed and content pups, which says everything. I would absolutely trust Maxibel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I've owned dogs, big and small, since I was 8 years old and can't imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. While my 4 year old mini bernedoodle, Winnie, currently receives all my love and care, I'm itching to share that same level of attention with other pups far and wide! (NOTE: Winnie does not accompany me on house sitting bookings unless explicitly requested by the owner, as she prefers to hang home with her other pet-parent) I am extremely detail oriented, responsible, and have a flexible work from home schedule so I'm happy to drop by/sit just about anytime. I've handled dogs of all temperaments and am able to tailor my care to make them feel most at ease. I am personally a very active person and have no problem providing ample exercise for the dogs I look after, but I am equally as excited to lounge around with those who prefer belly rubs over running :) Pet parents will be sure to receive a minimum of 2x daily updates as well as plenty of sweet photos of their fur-baby when in my care. I work from home and have flexible hours, therefore I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I love going for long walks as exercise, so being able to bring along a furry friend is always a bonus :) I am an extremely vigilant caretaker and treat every pup I care for like they are my own. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority.

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

About: Hi! My name is Tefa, and I’m a loving and reliable pet caregiver originally from Colombia. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep connection with them—especially dogs and cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I truly enjoy taking care of pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’m very responsible, punctual, and kind. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry friend, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently living in Wayne, NJ and am available in nearby areas. I have a flexible schedule and would love to help however I can—dog walking, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention. Thank you for considering me! I can’t wait to meet your sweet pet! 💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets—whether it’s for daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so dog walking fits perfectly into my routine. I also make sure to give each pet attention, affection, and care based on their individual needs. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of every day. I take care of the pet as the client needs it, the main thing is with love and respect, I give the food, the outings and I am aware of them

About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several neighbors in various cities and can provide references from some awesome families. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.

“Cne has been my dog sitter and groomer for the past 11 years. She is also my neighbor and I’ve known her and her family for over 20 years. The entire family are animal lovers and totally dedicated pet parents. Cne is a natural with animals and my dogs love her! She is punctual, responsible, trustworthy and loving. I can relax without a worry when I’m away and Cne keeps me updated with messages and pictures so I can see how my dogs are doing. It makes my day to see how happy they are. I would, without a doubt, recommend Cne as a pet sitter. If you need a sitter, Cne is the person to chose. I can guarantee you will have peace of mind. Cne is AMAZING!!”

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 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: Hi there! I’m a caring person who truly enjoys spending time with animals—especially cats. I graduated from Teachers College, Columbia University, and I’m currently a PhD student studying the pedagogy of caring. While my research focuses on human education, I find that the same spirit of empathy and attentiveness naturally extends to how I care for pets. I study remotely from home, so I’m around most of the time to keep my furry friends company and make sure they feel loved and secure. At home, I’ve created a cozy and playful space for my pets. I decorate my home in a cute, comforting style, with plenty of soft corners, sunny spots, and cozy blankets for them to nap on. I keep a variety of toys—from feather wands to puzzle feeders—to keep my cat entertained and mentally stimulated. I also pay close attention to their diet, making sure they eat healthy, balanced meals and stay hydrated. I love spending quiet, joyful days together.

About: I’ve taken care of several different dog breeds since the age of 8. Mostly larger breeds ranging from a golden retriever to an Alaskan Malimute. My care ranges from basic walking , bathing, and grooming, down to medication management and insulin shots. Currently I’m looking for another part time job, but at the moment I’m eager to get started working with your pets full time. When I do secure employment it will just be part time in the mornings. With the utmost respect. Our pets are like our children and I would want someone to handle mine with care, compassion, and respect and I plan to do the same for you.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wanaque

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wanaque is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 October 2026, there are 21,302 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wanaque. 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 Wanaque 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Wanaque 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 Wanaque. 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 , 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.
