“Lori took excellent care of our doodle Arlo. She took care of him for 8 days while our family was on a cruise. She was so accommodating, especially when our flight returning home was delayed. I received so many pictures of their daily walks and activities. Lori is a sweetheart and you can truly see how much she adores being a caregiver. I will use her services from here on out. Book with Lori! You and your beloved fur babies will not be disappointed!”

Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics!

Thanks for caring for my baby like he was your baby!”

About: Hi there! I’m an lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve had pets throughout my life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is full of energy, a little more laid-back, has some quirks, or requires specific care instructions, I’m happy to accommodate and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I work from home in a spacious house with a large, fully fenced-in yard, which means your dog will have plenty of room to play, explore, relax, and enjoy their day. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I also have plenty of indoor space to comfortably accommodate dogs of all ages and sizes. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 11 years, I’m looking forward to sharing that same love and attention with other dogs who need a safe, happy, and loving place to stay. Whether it’s daycare while you’re at work or an overnight stay while you’re away, my goal is to make your dog feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pup is being cared for like one of my own! Since I work from home full-time, pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine! I’m home throughout the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give dogs attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, and plenty of companionship. My large, fenced-in yard makes it easy for pups to get outside and burn off some energy, while there’s plenty of room inside to relax and get comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daytime daycare, overnight boarding, or following a specific feeding, walking, or care routine. I love having dogs around and would treat every guest like one of my own! My approach is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and right at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, dogs have plenty of indoor space to relax, a large fenced-in yard to enjoy, and someone home throughout the day to give them attention and companionship. I always try to maintain their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions their owners provide. I understand that every dog is different, so I adjust my care to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide photo updates throughout the day!
“I was very pleased with the care Prince had with Rebecca. She was very thorough & kept me informed with how he was doing. I also was thankful for the pictures daily.. this was our first time leaving him the information and pics made it so much easier.. She was very patient & understanding with Prince. I was very pleased with everything!!”
“Alana did a great job watching Brooke! We got plenty of updates and had excellent communication from her. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”
“Angela responded to my questions promptly, and made me feel at ease leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover caregiver. She texted with updates and photos. Boomer was in great hands, and I’ll definitely use her again!”

Beth Ann was a lifesaver. She was able to watch our new dog last minute. She was professional, kind, and attentive. She gave us regular updates. She bonded with Enzo right away and made him feel comfortable and at home. She was also great at administering his medication. We highly recommend her and will certainly book again in the future!
Pat is a wonderful caring sitter. Our Daisy is a rescue who has some anxiety issues. Pat managed her beautifully. After a couple days in the photos we saw a relaxed and happy dog! It was great to actually enjoy our vacation while she enjoyed hers! Thanks Pat for a job well done!
Both Lisa & Tim were great to my dog Oreo. Lisa sent pictures all the time and said she was good with her family and friends. Lisa and Tim went out of their way to help me when I needed it. I would recommend them to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet. They treat your pet like family. I would definitely go back to them from now on . Sincerely Donna
Patricia was absolutely amazing with my dog! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of her, and I could tell right away that she felt completely comfortable and at home with Patricia and her husband. She had the best time playing with Patricia’s dog, and it made me so happy knowing she was having fun and getting lots of love while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs! 🐶💕
When my dog,Millie, first met Karrie I could have sworn she recognized Karrie as a long lost friend! Karrie welcomed my Millie into her home and sent me pictures of Millie looking extremely relaxed and tired from all her exercise. Karrie is a confident and capable dog sitter and very kind. This helped us relax and enjoy our Christmas ! We look forward to scheduling with her again! Thank you.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Absecon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Absecon home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Absecon.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Absecon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Absecon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
