“Jessi is awesome! Jessi is was very attentive to my cat's needs. Jessi communicated very well and sent photos and updates of my cat every day. I felt my cat was very well taken care of while I was away! I would highly recommend Jessi!”

“We were anxious as this was our first time ever using a service to have anyone watch our two dogs, and Veronika made us feel so comfortable. She did a wonderful job with the check-ins, provided great communication, and sent the best pictures of our boys. We will absolutely be booking again!❤️”

About: I’m excited to care for your pet! I love all animals and even wanted to become a veterinarian! I have a two Siamese cats who are good with dogs. I also have a two year old poodle named Tony. he LOVES to play with other dogs. We go to the Fort Gratiot dog park often! My family growing up raised golden retriever puppies, so I am comfortable with all energy levels! Personally, I am also trying to exercise more so I would love to take your dog for a short or long walk! Any other questions you have, feel free to ask! My pets keep me busy! I also have 9 chickens. I am happy to visit your fur baby anytime of the day! I’m happy to visit holidays and weekends too :). In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and on the bed. Food is given at scheduled times of the day - no free feeding so you would not have to worry about your pet eating other food. I am happy to house puppies and senior dogs. I can take them outside on a leash as I don’t have a fenced in yard. I have two acres on a dirt road in for gratiot.

“Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was young! Growing up we had dogs, cats, horses, cattle, chickens and more. I have taken many veterinary medicine related classes as well as exotics. I can care for senior pets, puppies, and everything in between with the same love and care that I would my own. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter where I have gained even more experience with animals of different temperaments. Your pets will be safe with me! I currently work full-time but I am always looking to switch up my routine. I am awake early for my job so walking or taking pets out for the bathroom and breakfast in the morning perfectly aligns. The same goes for when I am home from work. During the weekends, I tend to be outside so walks, hikes, trips in the car are frequent. I will follow all guidelines given to me by the pet parent. I will also pay special attention to medical cases, seniors or those who may need it. With me, there will be lots of snuggles, potty breaks, walks, and vital checks (if needed) just like with my own fur babies. I can crate if needed but I prefer not too if it is not necessary.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that animals have always been my biggest soft spot. I've spent my entire life caring for animals, with over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, birds, and pets of all ages and personalities. Caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me. It's simply part of who I am. Even today, I spend much of my time looking after the feral cats in my neighborhood. I provide food, shelter, and heated houses to keep them warm during Michigan's freezing winters. I also participate in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) efforts to help manage the feral cat population humanely. When I notice a stray who seems sick or injured, I do everything I reasonably can to help, even if that means paying for veterinary care out of my own pocket. I just can't stand the thought of an animal suffering when there's something I might be able to do about it. In fact, my lifelong dream is to own a little farm that serves as a sanctuary and hospice for senior and special-needs animals. A place where animals who might otherwise be overlooked can spend their golden years being spoiled, loved, and living their absolute best lives, right up until their very last days. I've always believed that animals give us so much unconditional love, and the least we can do is return the favor. There's something incredibly special about caring for an older animal, making sure they're comfortable, helping them feel safe, and appreciating every little moment with them. My years of experience have taught me that no two animals are alike. Whether it's keeping up with an energetic puppy, earning the trust of a frightened stray, comforting an anxious pet, or adapting to a senior animal's changing needs, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to the little things. To me, pet sitting isn't just about feeding animals and checking off a list of tasks. It's about making sure they're genuinely happy, comfortable, and cared for by someone who sees them as living, feeling members of the family. Until I have my dream farm full of happy, spoiled senior animals, I'd be honored to share some of that love with yours! I work from home and one of the biggest perks of that is having a very flexible schedule! I'm able to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that means potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. I'm also happy to accommodate puppies, senior sweethearts, and pets who need a little extra care or a consistent routine. Since animals are already such a big part of my everyday life, welcoming a few more furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! My flexibility allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve without making them feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first! I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My home has a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play and explore. I also have two incredibly friendly dogs who absolutely LOVE making new friends! However, I understand that not every pet wants company, so I'm happy to crate my dogs or provide separate spaces when needed. Introductions are always handled slowly and carefully to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect your space and stick to your pet's usual routines, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medications, or their favorite bedtime rituals. I'm also big on communication! Expect plenty of pictures, updates, and probably a few funny stories about your pet's day. Above all, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease, whether they're staying with me or I'm visiting them at home!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - West Tappan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Tappan is $44 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $56 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 301 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Tappan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Tappan. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.

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.

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.
