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.

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!

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: I have taken care of every type of dog since I was 2! I am an avid dog lover, and I just finished housing foster puppies as well! :) I am currently working at home, so I am available at all times, and if I am not in the home my teenage daughter is. I offer a safe loving environment for your pups! My older dog recently passed away from old age (15), and my other dog is with my daughter in another state, so I am looking to dog sit until I am ready to have my own dog back with me!

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.

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.

I will walk them or take them out before I leave if needed. I can give medications or insulin shots if needed. I also have experience with administrating an inhaler to a cat with asthma.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West New York stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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 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. 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 West New York 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 West New York. On Rover:

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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.
