About: I'm a super animal lover and excited to provide your furry loved ones with a fun, safe, attentive home away from home! Whether youâre looking for home visits, boarding, drop-ins, or daily walks, I'm here for your pets' needs. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, and exotics such as rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles. Iâm attentive to each petâs individual needs, routine, and personality. There's nothing I love more than hanging out with animals, so I'll be sure to spend plenty of quality time with your pets, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company. I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing your furry best friends are in loving, reliable hands while youâre away. I currently work a hybrid 8-4:30 schedule, where I am in the office 2 days a week. My partner and I are available throughout the week and fully open on weekends for walking, boarding, and drop-ins. I live in a condo community that is amazing for walking and also has a communal back yard space. I have one friendly, goofy 4-year-old dog named Pepper, and he loves other animals.
About: Full-time aunt to Kobe, a silky terrier 6 year-old sassy, well trained boy, with a strong personality. Part-time aunt to all of my friend's animals, cats/dogs, of all shapes and sizes. Super observant of animal behavior in order to understand animals needs. Highly prioritize communicating with owners about their animals, to learn and adapt to animals/owners needs. I enjoy active days, especially with a cool dog to run around or play ball with. I'm also just as good at lounging around as your cat is, if it needs someone to fluff around with, I'm that person too. I can hold down my own, when it comes to extra large sized animals or even the fiercest of them all- the tiny animals. Besides creating a fun environment for your animals, I'm also creating a positive active environment for myself. Nothing makes me happier than cool animals, they are great company. I am a fan of walks as it is, so to have an animal join me in my outdoor adventures sounds like the perfect day to me. I am currently in a space where I am working from home, so it's been nice to have the company from all the animals as well as a reason to get up from my desk during the daily walks. I am quite clean when it comes to animals, so wiping of the paws after entering from the outdoors is on a list of to-do's for me. They do after all, sleep in our beds and walk on our couches. I also do not like ingredients like wheat and filler, so I always make sure to have any/all treats or foods with ingredients that will elongate the life rather than cut it short. I do not actually have the space to board at this time, but I am more than accommodating to keeping animals in their home space to make sure they are in their most comfortable mental state, while their parent/parents are away.
âEric took such great care of my two dogs for the week I was out of town. He was so kind and understanding when my flight got cancelled and stayed with them. I highly recommend him. I donât leave my dogs with just anyone and he was incredible with them.â

About: Iâve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I canât have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I canât have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but Iâm very respectful of other peopleâs homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.
âTatiana was great! She was communicative throughout her stay, kept us updated on our dogs, and left our home spotless. Most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.â

âWe had a great experience with Amber! She kept our dog active with multiple walks and made sure he was happy and well cared for. Our dog looked completely comfortable and content with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very responsible and kept us in the loop about everything. Highly recommend!â

âIf you want the luxury of not having to worry about your pets for a single minute while you're away then Mary Ann should be your choice. She is polite, punctual and most of all attentive to all of your animals needs. I will 100% be rebooking! Our family can't thank her enough for the great care she gave to our dogsâ

âTricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.â

âLidia was so wonderful with my two pups. This was the first time we left them home without someone from the family and they did so well. Lidia sent me photos and messages everyday and paid special attention to the little details. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving sitter.â

About: Hiâ I have been a dog caretaker for over a year now, and have grained invaluable experience there. My goal was to become a vet, so Iâve already taken special care to understand the needs of the individual needs of each pet in my care. Iâve been the first choice when it comes to watching peopleâs pets for a long time now. I love them like my own :) As a part time student, Rover is a great way to schedule during the time Iâm not in school so I can give your pet the undivided attention they deserve. I have a fenced in yard, and a sweet pup of my own that would absolutely adore the company of another dog! Theyâd have a blast.
About: I have a huge passion for dogs and always have my entire life! My family has owned dogs since before I was born, and weâve had three over the years.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wanaque
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wanaque is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $49 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 15,257 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wanaque. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wanaque walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wanaque maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wanaque. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
