“Angela is amazing - super nice and easy to work with! She took the time to understand my cat’s needs, handled everything nicely, and sent me lots of photos of my cat.”

“Susanna is an incredible sitter and was able to come in on time to check on our cat, Mila. She is very detailed with her visits and ensures Mila is a happy camper while we’re away. Thank you!!”

“I had to go on a last-minute trip and asked Javier if he could come the very next day. He was able to come on such short notice, arrived on time, made sure my cat was fed, and sent me photos. He’s very responsible and reliable!”


“Leslie as fantastic. I booked him last minute after finding out that I had an unexpected long evening at work. He kept me up to date on everything and followed all instructions. He sent tons of pics and played with Coco after feeding her. I would most definitely refer him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup”

“Klaudia is an amazing cat-sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her exceptional care and attention to detail surpassed all my expectations, and my furry companions were in safe hands while I was away. She promptly responded to my inquiries and made sure to keep me updated throughout her visits. The most important thing is her genuine love for cats. My cat usually dislike strangers but she loves Klaudia! They built a genuine bond during their time together. Thank you for taking care of my cat and I will definitely be reaching out to you for future cat-sitting needs.”


“We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️”

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I enjoy spending time playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention, feeding them, going on walks, and making sure they are happy and comfortable while their family is away. I will care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with each pet parent’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I grew up around animals, and pets just make everything better. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats: walks, cuddles, playtime, all of it. I pay close attention to each pet's personality because every animal is different. I also follow routines, like, feeding times, walking routes, medication schedules if needed. Your fur baby will never sit alone wondering where everyone went. Senior pets and anxious dogs get extra gentleness from me -no rushing, no stress. I'll send you updates and photos because I know you'll miss them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work regular weekday hours (9 to 5), but my husband works from home frequently, so pets are never left alone for long. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins on weekdays (time tbd), and have a general flexible availability on weekends. I keep a consistent routine: same walk times, same feeding windows because pets thrive on predictability. Our home in Union City, NJ is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. No loud chaos, no other animals to stress yours out. I take leash safety seriously on every walk, no distractions. I'm comfortable with crates if that's what your pet is used to. I'll always follow your specific instructions because you know your pet best. Any concerns and I'll text you immediately.
“Christine went above and beyond. She was very communicative, punctual, and gave me amazing advice about how to curb some of my cats behavioral issues. Definitely will rebook”

About: I love dogs and have always been a dog person growing up. That said, I have 2 cats! I have worked with a lot of dogs, taken them on walks and pee breaks and would be happy to care for your dogs as my own! I work a hybrid tech job so I can come by during the mornings and evenings and might be more flexible during the day depending on the day of the week. Please drop a message so we can figure out the schedule! I am very meticulous when it comes to pet safety - whether it is looking out for an approaching dog, caring for a cat/dog that is a shy/skittish etc.

About: I love caring for and being around animals. I have more than 5 years of experience caring for pets. They’re precious and deserve tender care. I have cared for dogs and cats through check ins, walks, and house sitting. I have mostly watched dogs or cats 3-4 or older. I have watched a few senior dogs and one kitten before, I would do it again. Communication is key for me so as long as you tell me the dogs needs, I will follow them. I am a recent graduate starting a new job. My current availability is spontaneous due to my varying work schedule so I always make sure to keep my availability on my calendar up to date. I would love to come home to your pets, check in on them, and spend time with them when I am not working. Caring for animals in my free time brings me great joy and I feel the animals can sense that from me so we have a good time together. I have pet sit overnight in homes for dogs and cats. I learn quickly and take notes during meet and greets to assure I care for any pet well. I like to ask clients about what they typically do with their pet in a day that their pet will expect outside of feeding and walking time. This might include playing with toys once they come home for 15 minutes or treats after walks. I take pictures throughout my time with the pets to keep the owner(s) updated on what’s happening.
About: I love all animals, but dogs will always have a special place in my heart! I took care of my own dog for his whole life, and I have been the person people asked to walk their dogs in my neighborhood since I was 11! I love all dogs and have taken care of/walked dogs off all breeds and sizes! I'm currently taking classes part time, so I have plenty of time to walk dogs! My hours are very flexible, so I'll be at your (and your dogs) disposal!! Shorter 15-Minute Puppy/Senior Walks Available too! Need a quick mid-day relief or stretch-and-sniff for your pup? I offer 15-minute express visits for $12. Just message me for a custom booking request! Before every walk, I carefully verify that harnesses, collars, and leashes are correctly fitted and secure. During walks, I avoid high-traffic areas, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs and off-leash pets. I respect your home and follow all entrance/exit instructions closely, including double-checking doors, gates, lockboxes, and alarm systems. Upon returning from a walk, I wipe dirty paws, refresh clean drinking water, administer owner-approved treats or meals, and settle your dog safely back into their designated space. Building trust with you and your pet is my top priority. After every walk, I send a detailed Rover Card with photos and potty stats, so you always have full peace of mind.
About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!
About: Hi! I'm Annie, a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs my entire life. I currently have a 2-year-old Bernedoodle who keeps me active and entertained, and I also have two childhood dogs who are now 12 years old (they dont live with me). Because of this, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pups who may need a little extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I'm attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, so you can count on me to stay on schedule with walks, feeding routines, medications, and any special instructions. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, a few extra treats (with your permission 😉). I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My fiance works from home 5x a week, and I am in the office 1x a week. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. I also have a terrace where your dog can hang outside during the day and use the restroom whenever they want! As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions. I'm very attentive to detail and believe consistency helps dogs feel secure and happy. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home, my home, or out on a walk, I'll provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. And of course, every dog gets lots of love (and maybe an extra treat or two, with your permission!)
“Kathleen was amazing! Helped us out last minute in a pinch for two days in a row. She was responsible and responsive. Cheese was happy to see her! Would love to book her again!”


About: Hi! My name is Natty, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs and cats, including my own pets: a sweet beagle named Harley, a golden retriever named Layla, and three rescued cats named Benito, Minnie, and Oreo, all of whom were adopted as strays and became part of our family. Being surrounded by animals every day has taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like family. I am very responsible, caring, and communicative, and I will always provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make them feel happy and loved! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and playtime! I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets at home. I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for, while keeping owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind.

“Lisa is the ultimate bestest of the best! She is a bonafide lover of dogs and take to her like a magnet. She is able to take on my crazy Great Dane in walks and has patience with my pitbull who decides to be a boat anchor on her walks. I trust Lisa with caring for our fur babies and home while out of town. she is ultra-responsible and communicative. Choose Lisa for you dog sitter/walker needs— you will be very glad you did.”

“My kitty had a great time with Christa last weekend! She sent me adorable pictures with each visit, so I know they hit it off! I would definitely recommend Christa to anyone looking for a sitter.”

Melissa was amazing and we will definitely book her again. She was so sweet with our new pup Stella and really helped us out in a pinch when our previous dog walker couldn’t make it. She sent great photos and detailed recaps of their walks and play time every day. Communication was quick and easy. She even sent pics and interacted with our cat whom she was not looking in on. Thank you so much Melissa!!

Amanda took amazing care of my very young puppy when we were in town for work. She was communicative, responsible, treated my pup with as much love as I would have wanted to give him. It gave me huge peace of mind to know he was being well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out when we’re next in town!

Martina took wonderful care of my dogs and gave them the attention they needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d happily book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter.

Sarah was fantastic! My arrival time kept changing—from 3 PM to 5 PM and then 6 PM—and she was incredibly flexible and worked around my schedule without any issue. Communication was excellent, she was punctual, and she followed my requests exactly, including simply sitting outside and keeping my dog company. She was kind, pleasant, and very easy to work with. I’d absolutely recommend her!

Faith was absolutely amazing! We received 5 pictures per drop-in and also a message with details on top of the report card! This was my first time using Rover and Faith made me feel so comfortable while also making my pup happy and safe! 10/10 would recommend!

Emma was fantastic caring for Dante. We needed drop in help last minute and she was a lifesaver. She shared photos each time to assure us he was in her great care, and she played with him to keep him smiling and loved. Would love to work with her again. Thank you, Emma!

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 Weehawken 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.

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.
