“Adam did an awesome job with Roxy! Roxy's a strong dog with lots of energy who's not the right fit for everyone, so we were a little nervous leaving her. Prior to watching Roxy, Adam came by for a meet-and-greet and it was immediately clear that not only could he handle Roxy, but that they would soon be best friends. Knowing Adam was watching Roxy allowed us to go to a family party with complete peace of mind. On the day Adam watched Roxy, he took her for a long walk for exercise, played with her, fed her, and even cleaned her up after they were caught in the rain. Throughout the day, Adam sent updates and photos and Roxy looked so happy. We will absolutely ask Adam to take care of Roxy in the future.”
“Harley was amazing! Our original sitter canceled super last minute, and she stepped in to help us over the long weekend. She took such great care of Nala, gave her lots of love and attention, kept us updated regularly, and left the house clean and well cared for. We were so grateful she was able to help on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
“Natalia watched my dog over the course of a long 6 day house-sitting. She did a fantastic job with him and gave me great updates throughout the stay. She left my place more spotless than before and I felt confident leaving for my trip. Thank you!”
“Candiance is so thorough in everything she does. I got so many detailed updates and photos while she was caring for my pup. I felt very comfortable with her in my home, taking care of my baby. Highly recommend!”
“Madison was so incredible with Nala! She took really great care of her and sent me lots of updates, and took great care of the apartment. She went above and beyond to help Nala as Nala had recently had surgery, and was wonderful to work with.”
“Stephanie was kind and caring - she did a great job taking care of both our animals and our house. She even got our shy one to eat! Thank you so much for granting us peace of mind while we were out of town. Our girls had a great time and we would definitely use her again!”
“Bria watched our senior dog, Winnie, for 1 night and was absolutely amazing!! She was very communicative before the booking and during her time with Winnie. She sent lots of pics and videos and followed all the care instructions to a T! We really felt like Winnie was in good hands. Thank you so much, Bria!! I will definitely book again!”
About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“Becka has watched our dog twice now and both times has been so good updating us and willing to stay as long as we need! Definitely recommend and we will be using her for awhile :)”
“Daniel did an excellent job taking care of my two senior pups on such short notice for 9 days during the Thanksgiving holiday after i had an unexpected last minute cancellation from my other pet sitter. Daniel came to the rescue and was diligent about the medications needed to be administered for my pup Ray who has 4 eye medications to do on a daily basis. Daniel sent pictures and videos and kept me updated along the way. He also left the home spotless on my arrival and with happy pups! Will definitely be reaching out to him for the next time. Thank you Daniel!”
About: Well to begin with, I have experience walking numerous dogs since the day I could remember. My love for animals in general is immense, contributing to the positive well being of animals is my passion and being able to focus that into a career is something I would have never imagined simply by making sure dogs go when they need too. It all began by simply watching over my own dog, and then it lead me into walking my neighbors dogs and eventually I took it upon myself to walk others in the neighborhood. The first dogs I took care of was a chunky miniature pincher and a 70 lbs pit bull terrier, I am not prejudice towards animals specifically dogs since they are in my field and I have years of experience with different breeds of all sorts. As I am a new LLC on the rise I am in the midst of obtaining my ARC certifications for the health and general knowledge of animals, considering on a professional level I take this accordingly and not enough dog walking companies supply this for their walkers. Being trustworthy, reliable, respectable, caring and cautious are few of the many traits I carry and endorse for my business in which I believe are critical in the dog walking business. Every dog is unique, just like a person I would not want to disrespect their space and have them catch an unapproachable vibe from me. I like to make sure I build comfort and confidence with the dogs I will work with, considering not many may be comfortable with letting someone unfamiliar walk them, my specialty. Walking dogs for me personally is never something I like to do in a haste, I enjoy in executing my job correctly and efficiently. I make sure every walk is special at times they come back home with a better attitude than the dogs left in. My main goal for the dogs are exercise, safety, fun and making sure they are able to do their business enough. I am a full time dog walker and lifetime animal lover so meeting accommodations for him or her is never a problem. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile hopefully I gain the opportunity and trust of being able to walk your furry child! Taking care of pups is my daily life. I have my own pups so it comes to me naturally. To do what needs to be done to make sure our pups are well taken care of! I do this full time! First of all, i make sure the pup is as comfortable as possible make them feel as if the parents are home. I walked them as many times as possible, keep all their needs up to date & give lots of love.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and had 4 dogs at a time for most of that. I’m experienced with senior dogs as well as puppy training. I train dogs with maximum positive reinforcement. My dog/assistant grew up with elderly yorkies and is eager to lend a paw. I’m a freelance motion designer, part time e-learning professor and I work from home on my own schedule. My dog goes on at least 5 walks per day, with poops after meals. Doggy breakfast is at 7:30, dinner at 5:30. For boarded dogs my building is very dog friendly with a fenced courtyard. There are 2 dog parks within a 5 minute walk and several
“Emily did a fantastic job house-sitting Beau! She went above and beyond and made sure he got his energy out on long walks and during multiple play sessions. Beau loved her. She also kept our apartment super clean for when we returned. We're so glad we found Emily and will gladly work with her again!”
“Alex came to our home to sit with our Ridgeback. He was on time and very attentive to Bodhi. He sent us videos and pictures throughout the day. Bodhi is a reserved dog but Alex made very effort to win him over. I would highly recommend him and will certainly use him again.”
“Denise is a blessing! I have no words to describe how grateful I am and lucky to have found Denise during the holidays. While no one was available on this app, Denise was flexible and kind to watch my senior dog while I was traveling to see my family for a week. I highly recommend Denise because she demonstrates everything that you hope for while you are away: she sends daily updates makes you feel that your dog is safe, she is trustworthy and honest, she is very flexible and communicates clearly. Thank you Denise and I will definitely rebook your services if your schedule permits. Sailor misses you!”
About: I have always been an animal lover. I believe all animals deserve respect including the smallest mice. I have 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and i’m looking to make it more! What makes me stand out is I genuinely bond quickly with even the grumpiest dog. Yes, even pugs I’m currently a stay at home mom looking to bring in some extra money for our family so I can go to school for interior design. At the moment I have an open schedule specifically for mornings, afternoons. I can work with evenings and nights as well if you let me know in advanced. Although I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, we have a giant park and dog park right next to us. Dogs deserve to have outside time and explore just as much as we do.
“Cecilia was the best! She showed lots of patience with my dog, Jojo, and she never hesitated to ask questions. I also really appreciate how often Cecilia would communicate via text. Good updates and even better pictures!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in West New York is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West New York
We were able to enjoy our vacation without a worry because of Alene’s excellent attention to our two cats while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Not only did she arrive on time each day and feed the cats and clean their litter boxes, she also spent time with them and even watered the plants. Alene is very honest and conscientious. She made sure the house was secured whenever she left and sent daily pictures of our happy pets. Our cats quickly grew close to her and I think the girl cat wanted to go home with her when we returned. It was a great overall experience.
Sofie did an amazing job caring for our two cats while we were away. Sofie was a great communicator, made sure our cats were fed at the scheduled times, groomed them, and made sure to provide them with needed play time. In addition, Sofie sent great photos and updates! Sofie went above and beyond and our cats seemed well taken care of when we returned home. We would highly recommend Sofie for both drop-in visits and overnight stays.
Alexis was fantastic and went above and beyond in taking care of our senior pug and senior pug-mix! We couldn’t have left them in better hands - we got plenty of pictures and updates, and our home was seriously cleaner than when we left it! Will definitely be asking Alexis back, and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a responsible, responsive, and loving pup sitter!
Vanessa was amazing! My wife and I wanted to go out of town on short notice, and looking on Rover for someone we found Vanessa. She made us feel confident from the moment we met her that our dogs would be in good hands. She followed every instruction we had to the letter, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates on our dogs. She was even able to walk all three of them at one time, which is an impressive feat considering they are all over 70 pounds. We will definitely be using Vanessa again, and if you're looking for someone to watch your dogs we couldn't recommend Vanessa more!
Bing has cared for our cat and dog a few times now. We can tell our pets really love her! She is super communicative and ensures we're always kept updated on their schedules and general day-to-day via texts and photos. It's so comforting to know our pets are well cared for while we are gone. Bing also took great care of our home while she stayed there. She's one of our top sitters!
Kerra was so wonderful. We were in a last minute bind and she responded quickly. She was confident and so communicative about our two dogs (one who is a senior) that we immediately felt that they were in great hands. She sent updates and kept us in the loop. Makes a lot of sense that she has many incredible reviews and we know who we will be calling next time we need a dog sitter! Highly recommended.
I cannot recommend Chloe enough! I was in need of a last-minute pet sitter for my kitty, who was dealing with a health issue at the time. I had never used a pet sitter before and was beyond nervous about leaving her, but Chloe was truly a godsend. I’m so grateful I was able to leave my cat in such capable and caring hands while I was away. Chloe administered her medication, sent me updates multiple times a day, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and reassured. My cat truly took a liking to her, which says everything! Chloe is incredibly professional, reliable, caring, and highly competent. Truly the best cat sitter in NYC! I will absolutely be using her again anytime I have to go away. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Anna took great care of Finita while we were away for a week. She was very responsible and attentive, gave her oral medication, sent us photos and updates every day, and made us feel reassured knowing Finita was in good hands :). We really appreciated her help and would completely recommend her!
Ariana really helped us out with a last minute sitting request. She was responsive and came early for a meet-and-greet to make sure everything would go well. When I returned, my dog was happy and the apartment was in order. Ariana is a great choice if you need someone to stay with your pet while you’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - West New York
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West New York on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 19,289 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West New York. 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 West New York 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 West New York 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.
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 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!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West New York. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
