About: Hello! My name is Janet, and I am dog mom to the 2 most wonderful rescue pups from DCAS, Georgie (our lovable and snuggly pittie basset hound mix) and Cleo (our sassy terrier mix diva with the fierce brows to match the ‘tude). I have had dogs in my home for most of my life, with ages starting from 11 weeks old up until the end of their precious and short lives... and from a wee few pounds up to 77 pounds of muscle! As my husband would say of me, I have never met a dog I didn’t love immediately. I love to play fetch or tug with the energetic pups, give belly rubs to the lush ones, and snuggle with every pup I meet.
About: Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a pre-veterinary student at Montclair State University, and I can't remember a time when animals weren't a part of my life. For the past six years my best friend has been my Border Collie, April. If you know Border Collies, you know they're incredibly smart, full of energy, and always keeping you on your toes. April is family to me, and that bond made me want to share that same level of care with other pets. I know trusting someone with your pup isn't a small decision. That's why I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet. It gives us both a chance to get to know each other, lets you see how I interact with your pet, and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions before making a decision. I take time to learn each pet's personality and specific needs, and I build my care entirely around that. My schedule is very flexible since I'm primarily focused on my studies, so I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I'm always happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable while you're away. You can expect regular updates, lots of photos, and a few smile worthy moments throughout the day. I'll make sure your pet's needs are met and leave your home just as I found it. If there are medications, feeding instructions, or any special requests, you can count on me to follow them exactly as you've outlined.

About: I’ve always been a big animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m available for walks every day as well as pet sitting during the week. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s schedule and needs. I provide a quiet, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and litter care, and always respect their space and personality.
“Lauryn is amazing! I just moved to the area and needed to take a trip I couldn't cancel and was in an absolute panic. My 16-year-old cat needs some medications and definitely a compassionate person, and I was so fortunate to find Lauryn. She was absolutely fantastic and very responsible. I'm also very iffy about letting strangers into my house but in this case I didn't need to worry about it at all because Lauryn left the place spotless. I would not hesitate to use her for pet care. I don't think you can find a better person!”

“I am so happy we found Candiance to check in on our doggy. She is so patient and understanding to our dog’s needs. She has great communication and it was easy for me to trust her to care for our dog.”

About: I’ve been around animals and dogs all my life. I grew up in the countryside in Ecuador and have coexisted with animals all my life. As a student on vacations it fits perfectly for any schedule or hour. Besides that I love dogs above all and love spending time with them. There are a lot of friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I never left them alone and I’m always petting and been active with all pets

About: Experience walking and caring for dogs and cats. I have fostered several animals throughout college and have trained dogs of all ages. My own pet is AKC Caine Good Citizen Certified and I have a research background in dog Vet Care and can make adjustments to care based on breed and any current health issues. I make time to take my own pet out on adventures and I'd love to be able to take yours out for some fun as well! I'm vigilant of potential dangers with care for a pet outside of their home. I take notice of areas/ other pets to avoid and will physically step in to protect your pets boundaries.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years — from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I’m patient, loving, and always attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. I also have experience walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with basic care routines and giving oral medication when needed. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule. My work is light and meeting-free most of the day, so I’m home almost all the time. I take regular breaks to walk dogs and spend quality time with them — giving your pets plenty of attention, play, and care throughout the day. I live in a spacious 3B3B apartment that’s quiet, clean, and pet-friendly with my husband. Even though it’s an apartment, there’s plenty of space for pets to move around safely and comfortably. I always keep doors and windows secured, monitor pets closely, and follow each owner’s care instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walks, and medication if needed. For safety, I never leave dogs unattended outdoors and ensure cats stay in secure indoor areas. We’re just an 8-minute walk from a beautiful dog park and a riverside trail, perfect for safe, relaxing walks and playtime. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

I also maintain clear communication with owners and provide updates for peace of mind.
“Katherine watched our cat when we went away for the first time since getting him. She did such an incredible job of keeping us updated and letting us know how our cat was doing, giving us so much piece of mind knowing he was being taken care of so well. Our cat very clearly had a great time and liked Katherine very much. Katherine was also so understanding when our plans changed and was incredible flexible. We will 100% be asking her to watch our cat in the future when we go away. She did an amazing job.”


About: Hello! My name is Alena, and working with animals is my true passion. I have extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as an invaluable background working in the veterinary department of an animal center. I am also Fear Free trained, which means I use specialized techniques to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. This experience allows me to understand dog behavior deeply and handle pets with special needs, anxiety, or high energy. At home, I have a cat named Amber who prefers not to live with dogs. Because of this, my home boarding is exclusively open to foster cats. I am happy to offer walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fully adapt to your pet's established routine. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, timely medication administration, or structured walks, I ensure their day looks exactly like it does when you are home. Keeping a consistent routine is key to minimizing stress. Safety is my top priority. Thanks to my experience in a veterinary shelter department and Fear Free training I create a secure environment for every pet. I strictly follow all care instructions, and keep a close eye on their well-being. I am fully confident in administering medications and maintaining emergency protocols if needed.
“Murray was an excellent cat sitter. He fed and played with my cats every day and even got my most timid cat to come out of hiding. He also took care of some minor things when I asked him like a camera the cats knocked over. I am really glad I hired Murray and Ana to take care of my cats while I was gone - and my cats were glad as well.”

With reasonable notice, I am available pretty much all day long for dog walks and sits. I can always easily adjust my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to last minute arrangements. No issues moving dates around if my calendar is open. I have a fenced in yard and the house is plenty spacious. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet.

About: Hello, I'm Mike!!! I am a natural with dogs. I have been walking dogs for the last 10 years. I have helped take care of a chihuahua named Blacky, who was adopted and had trauma towards men. Blacky's trauma was so bad that he would bark at a mosquito. With a lot of patience, I began walking him and gaining his trust. I also helped another dog named Clyde. Clyde was aggressive, but by gaining his trust on walks, he lost his aggression. I am also a CKO kickboxing instructor, so I have lots of energy and stamina for an energetic dog for long walks and runs. I have always loved dogs, and I am happy I can work with them to make the world a better place, one dog at a time.
“Christella is the best. Don't hesitate, book her! She was so patient with my two puppies one of which is going through his a hole phase. I couldn't have found a better person to help out with them!”

About: I have pet-sitted since high school dogs of friends and family. I have played with them, fed them, walked them, and kept them entertained. I also have 1 dog and 2 cats of my own, so I am very familiar with having animals around. I am available most week nights, some afternoons depending on my class schedule. Mornings can also be arranged if given enough notice ahead of time. I always start by getting to know the owner's and listening to their requests. with that information I do the best job to take care of their pet depending on their needs, and make sure they feel safe and secure with me in their trust,

“Always great to have Daniela visit our two cats, who love to see her. She provides them their ‘evening’ treats and spends time to love them up when we are away. It’s a great comfort to have Dani visit and ensure all is well when we are away.”

Tiffany is a wonderful pet sitter! She did 3 drop in visits for our dog Truman and she was on-time, attentive and very responsive! She has great attention to detail clearly loves dogs - she's an all-star! We look forward to having her back. Thank you so much, Tiffany!

Itati and Ronald were amazing!!!! Holly was well taken care of by them!! They helped me tremendously with my anxiety of leaving her alone for the first time. They kept me up to date on her and sent me Pics! Loved that they let me know about her potty breaks and if she ate or didn’t. Thank you so much!! We will be booking again!!

Huge shoutout to Loretto for taking such amazing care of Amara! He was so attentive, dependable, and awesome with communication while I was away. Amara absolutely loved him, and it gave me total peace of mind seeing how well cared for she was. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone!

Katia was fantastic with our cat and dog. Shes friendly, followed our instructions, and was always super prompt and communicative - even helping us bring in a package. It’s so nice to find a reliable sitter in our new neighborhood. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her - thanks again Katia ☺️

Tessa has been wonderful 😊 Arya took well to her rather quickly which was impressive. She's always respectful and provides me a full detailed report. Of course, photos too! With my new commute and insane schedule, she has been so accommodating and a gem. Arya and I are lucky to have her 🐕🙃

Alena was amazing with Binx, she shared a lot of photos and I’m sure Binx loved having her company. Alena also really helped me out because I did a last minute booking. She is professional, punctual, and a real animal whisperer. I will definitely be booking her again!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 West New York 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
