“We had a wonderful experience with Ivy, who stayed overnight with our two Bernese Mountain Dog pups. She was incredibly attentive, engaging them with playtime and making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Ivy provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Above all, she was professional, polite, and courteous. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

“Mary Ann was absolutely a lovely person, and a terrific dog sitter. She is so in tune with the needs of each specific dog that she watches, and extremely proactive. Such a gentle and kind person, so it makes sense that she’s terrific with animals! We would absolutely hire her again, without any hesitation. She provided frequent updates, and our dog loved her :) She even left us notes of an observation on a potential medical concern. She loves dogs, and it is obvious in her care. Very professional, respectful, compassionate and kind. Thank you, Mary Ann!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am an absolute animal lover, your pet will be in great hands with me. I’m responsible, reliable, and treat other peoples animals as my own! I’m fully employed but I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I can be available for your animal from 9am-11pm or if you’re boarding with me, I will be available for your pet all day and night. I am available 7 days and nights a week! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for your animal to run around safely. I always like to monitor small dogs, as they’re more vulnerable so I’ll sit outside with them and make sure they’re safe. I currently do not have any animals at the moment, as I lost my Yorkshire terrier in October of 2022, so your pet will be the only animal in my house. I have gates that I can put up if you prefer your pet doesn’t do stairs. And my entire house is pet friendly!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give each dog the care and attention they need. I’m also comfortable following individual routines, instructions, and personalities because I know every dog is different. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved — and for their owners to have complete peace of mind while they’re away! 🐾❤️ I have open and flexible availability throughout the week, making it easy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m available for weekday walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s needs and preferred routine. Whether your pup needs a quick midday walk, some extra playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to help! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet stays on their normal schedule. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, starting with pet sitting for family and friends and later working as a dog groomer in high school. My dog Bailey really shaped how I connect with animals and understand their needs. Now, I work with dogs regularly through shelter photography and in home sessions, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is super flexible for your pup’s needs! I work Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday getting out by 4 PM on Sunday and Saturday and 6 PM on Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the week? I’m all yours! I’m also a total morning person, so even on workdays, I’m available for early walks and drop-ins before 9AM. Whether your pup needs some morning playtime or midday company, I’ve got the time (and energy!) to make it happen. After losing my dog Bailey, who was truly my best friend, I realized just how deeply I care for animals and how important it is to treat every pet like they’re your own. I’m incredibly attentive when I’m pet sitting always checking in to make sure your pup is happy, comfortable, and safe. I go on lots of hikes and adventures, but I never go unprepared I always bring an emergency kit and usually have a buddy with me, just in case. I also volunteer at shelters as a photographer, so I’m constantly meeting new dogs and have a lot of patience for pups with big personalities or nerves. Whether it’s cuddles, structure, or a good game of fetch, your dog’s needs always come first with me.

“10/10 would recommend! Jessica and Guillermo were so amazing at taking care of Zip. Zip is a reactive dog and we were quite anxious leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Jessica made us feel so comfortable for the entire week she stayed with Zip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures that made us know he was in great care. She respected all the instructions we gave for taking Zip on walks and was very comforting knowing we were a little nervous to leave him. We had some travel delays getting home and Jessica made accommodation to stay extra time so we didn’t have to worry about Zip. Jessica and Guillermo stayed at our apartment for the week as well and were incredible guest. They were clean and gracious and even cleaned up before leaving. Safe to say Zip has new best friends and we will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.

We cannot say enough about ho amazing Brittany is. Our puppy has high energy and can be a handful. I think he may have struggled to keep up with Brittany. She kept him active, happy and well entertained. We did not have to worry for one second while we were away. Brittany is the absolute best at caring for dogs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wanaque

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Wanaque is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $53 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 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 15,140 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 sitter’s 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 home’s security or appliances.

It’s 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.

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 .

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 .

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.

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.
