“Steven is a great dog-sitter! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures to keep me posted on how Dusty is doing throughout the day. Dusty comes home happy and tired from playing with Steven's dogs. We are grateful to have found him!”
“Kristen did a fabulous job, she is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog had a great vacation in her place. She took a fantastic care of him. She regularly updated me with pictures and videos. She kept me posted frequently and that helped a lot. Thank you so much Kristen and I would love to be a repeat customer for my pet and greatly recommend her. Thanks again.”
“Kerri & Harry always do a great job with Layla! It's always obvious how much Layla enjoy spending time with them and how well Kerri & Harry take care of Layla.”
“Samantha was wonderful once again. Came through for me in a pinch as well. Took awesome care of Niko and kept me updated. Very grateful I found her as my sitter.”
“Tao took care of our dog for a week while we were on vacation. He sent videos and photos every day. When our flight was delayed and then cancelled, Tao was very understanding. Benji seemed very happy when we picked him up. We would definitely book with Tao again!”
“Kathleen is kind, caring, thorough and attentive. She really seemed to care for our pups the way we would at home, which is not always easy to find. She sent detailed updates with photos all throughout the day. Katie and Obi will definitely be back! Thank you, Kathleen!”
“Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Jolanta was the perfect sitter for our nervous puppy. She has a beautiful home with a fenced backyard, and our puppy loved getting to play with another dog during the stay. Jolanta sent great photos and videos and has such a warm, knowing way with dogs. It was clear our puppy had a wonderful time, and I recommend her with utmost confidence.”
“Kate did an amazing job taking care of my baby kitten, Bella! She provided frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my kitten was in great hands. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, and I truly appreciated her reassurance throughout. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Monica had our 4 month old puppy overnight for the second time. She’s wonderful. It was our wedding and with all the hustle of the day we forgot his food. She offered to feed him with no problems. He always comes home clean and happy. We will definitely be using her for our Goose many more times in the future.”
“Elliot had a wonderful stay with Thana and Subangi who were very good hosts. We really appreciated the frequent photos being sent and it is clear that they are very much dog lovers. Would definitely recommend them.”
“Absolutely the best experience having boarded my precious Maysie was Lisa and her family. Not once was I worried and a lot of that was because of the constant communication and pictures sent to us while we were away. Absolutely will rebook with Lisa as I knew my pup was treated as part of the family!”
“Jen and family took great care of Penny. Penny was excited to return to their house for her stay with them, after the meet and greet. Jen sent photos and updates every day and we knew Penny was getting plenty of lap time and love. Penny came home happy and we feel very fortunate to have found Jen!”
“Ceinwen was absolutely AMAZING with our little Penelope. She was so spoiled and loved on, I didn't have to worry about anything. We received daily pictures and videos, it was great. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Zoey was an excellent caregiver to our shy dog! It was our first time boarding her and we were so happy with the experience! She provided updates and pictures and we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries! We highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my special-needs pup, Dottie, for 8 years. She’s on a strict diet and takes meds too, so I’m good with following precise instructions. I have a loving and serene home where Dottie and I can welcome your pup. I work from home on Fridays, so I am available for boarding for long weekends. We could coordinate a Thursday evening drop-off if need be. On the weekends, I go to a pilates class and run errands, but am otherwise around as company for the dogs. My yard is only partially fenced, so I will be taking the dogs on leashed walks. Dottie sleeps in bed with me, so it’s okay if your pup needs to as well. If your dog is crate-trained, that is okay too.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Alexauken is $55

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.

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Alexauken 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 Alexauken 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexauken. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 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.
