“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Purvi was so great and very attentive to my 5 month old pup! He spent 2 nights with her and was very well taken care of. Great communication during his stay helped our peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! Thank you Purvi :)”
“Could not have been more wonderful. I had a pretty last minute boarding request for Mariia - my corgi was going to stay with a family member who turned out to not be feeling well enough to take care of him. I feel so lucky that he spent the time with Mariia. She sent updates and photos daily and he was clearly in love with her! Thank you Mariia!!”
“Jason was great! He took such good care of our mini goldendoodle with separation anxiety. Loved getting picture updates, and she had the best time in his awesome backyard with the other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“We had our two dogs stay with Mr. Tao and family for more than a week. We could not be more pleased and thankful to Mr. Tao for taking the best care for Barney and Scooby. Mr. Tao was super accommodating to our schedule and our long list of instruction for feeding etc. He kept us updated and smiling on our vacation by sending us regular daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs loved staying with Mr. Tao and his family (including Riley of course). They were totally stress free when we picked them up after their stay. We could not ask for a better family to leave our dogs with. A big thank you to Mr. Tao and his family!!”
“Excellent sitter. Our dog is a senior (15 years old Shiba Inu), who doesn’t really have much hearing or sight left plus doggie dementia. Most times she just wants to naps or be left alone, and a really great appetite. It’s extremely hard to find a sitter that knows how to identify what works for her regardless of how much notes we write. Jia is experienced, intuitive, and great communicator. She was able to gauge what our dog style was pretty early on. Can’t recommend her and her family enough.”
“Roseanna is exactly how the reviews have described her. Absolutely awesome pet person. The family is very welcoming. Vinny, my 8month old is boarded there for the first time alone and she has been welcomed like a second home. Highly recommend Roseanna for her excellent communication and convenience.”
“Tanvi took good care our Kylo, she kept us constantly informed with pictures & videos. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends.”
“Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! This was the first time my one year old goldendoodle was being watched by a family member, but Melissa made sure not only Sammie felt comfortable, cared for, and loved, but also me! She sent daily text updates, plenty of pictures, and a video each day of my vacation. Sammie even was able to fall asleep with her in her bed similar to how she is at home. Sammie loved their dogs and had a great time playing in the back yard. I highly recommend Melissa, Dan, and her family for watching dogs. You will feel at ease knowing your pup is in wonderful, loving hands :)”
“This is our 2nd stay with Christine. She has always communicated well with us on Chewie's stay. We love that she tries to watch only 1 dog at a time to keep her focus on the care of 1. We are already booked with Christine in Sept.”
“Kathleen is amazing! My girls had the best time,fun and care ever! Status updates with pictures of how they were doing was invaluable. They can’t wait to come back!”
“Ryan was our 1st experience using Rover, or any boarding service. We have a very large very anxious 3yr old dog, and Ryan made the experience smooth and worry free for myself & my dog. He sent great photos showing how relaxed & happy my dog was while we were away, which my whole family loved to see. Highly recommended using Ryan for any services he offers.”
“Wendy and Daniel were absolutely wonderful. We get nervous leaving our Boston terrier if the person is not familiar with the brachiocephalic breed and they made us so comfortable at the meet and greet! Barney had the best time and can’t wait to book again.”
“So grateful to have Carol as a sitter for my puppy. Leaving her with Carol gives me peace of mind knowing that she will be well cared for and treated like one of the family. Carol is my go to sitter and will continue as such. Thank you Carol!”
“I highly recommend Catherine. She went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. I received lots of pictures and messages so I always knew how things were going. She has a beautiful yard for dogs and she is patient and kind.”
“I just moved to the area and needed a sitter while traveling on business. I have a senior dog with Cushings disease and cancer. It killed me to leave her for a few days. But Ceinwen did a great job caring for her, and it wasn’t long until I could tell she felt right at home.”
About: From a family of dog lovers, I have always had a dog at home to care for. Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go-to pet sitter. I love all dogs and have a very flexible schedule! I am currently a teacher on summer break which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your dogs on a schedule that works best for you! I have a friendly and playful dog at home, Murphy who can keep your pup company or be crated if needed. At my apartment we have two gated dog run areas and living downtown provides many fun areas to walk.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alexauken
Brooke is an awesome dog sitter! Our 8 yr old Olive stayed at her home while we were out of town and we felt comfortable immediately. She is communicative, caring and very responsible. We loved getting photos and our dog was at ease as soon as she got there. Brooke’s home set up with a front fenced-in yard was perfect for our curious escape artist terrier. Olive came home happy and relaxed. Thank you Brooke.
Nancy was amazing. We have two older, 70+ lb dogs a she took them for 11 days and cared for them as if they were her own. We got pictures of them on walks, napping, and sneaking into her bed. She was responsive and so caring. She even dropped them off at our house after our plane landed, making things so much easier for us. We will definitely be using her (and hopefully only her) for our future trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Alexauken home-away-from-home, 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 Alexauken.
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.
You and your Alexauken 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 , 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 .
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.
