“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Monica and Kelvin were kind and attentive dog sitters. It felt great to get so many pictures of my dog being happy in the sunny yard while we were away. On the business side, they were professional, communicated clearly and consistently, and were a pleasure to work with.”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“We had our 4 year old very active Lab stay with Peiyi for the weekend . Like any Dog parent I was extremely hesitant as it was our first time leaving her with them. Peiyi and her Husband both took great care of Coco and we had a happy puppy at pick up :)”
“We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!”
“Celeste did an amazing job taking care of my greyhound. Jolteon is terrified of cars and Celeste went way out of the way to make sure my pup was comfortable and safe. She gave him his medication without any difficulty at all. Her price is great for the care that she provides. I highly recommend booking Celeste to take care of your animals. I will be using her services be again very soon.”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“Cathy is the BEST sitter! My my little dog loves staying with Cathy and her family. She sends detailed updates every day and lets us know how she's doing. She is also very familiar with our local resources. She is the only sitter I ever want to use.”
“We had our dog stay with them for boarding, and we couldn’t have been happier! They were incredibly kind, took great care of our dog, and frequently sent us photos and videos so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend them!”
“Lisa was so loving and caring to Jupi during his stay. She made sure he was never alone and took the extra step to make sure he ate his food given he recently has started requiring add-ons to his regular dry food. She regularly sent me pictures and was always very responsive. Thank you for taking care of Jupi, we will definitely bring him back.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Elizabeth and Oleg and will continue to use them anytime I visit my family on the east coast and need a sitter. They’re trustworthy, communicative, and my dog now gets excited to go stay with them.”
“Thanks Ankita...They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of.”
“Christina and Nick provided a calm, loving environment for Ziggy. Christina sent daily updates and pictures, and there was no doubt in my mind that Ziggy was being well taken care of. That peace of mind was so appreciated during our time away.”
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“Eleanor is awesome!!! I reached out to her for an emergency to keep my 5month old GSD pupp for a day. She was kind enough to keep him and took every good care of my pupp.. I highly recommend her. My pupp loved her place and secured backyard is a blessing in disguise”
“Paola was incredibly sweet with our dog, Penny. She provided detailed updates and showed deep care and concern for Penny’s wellbeing. I would recommend Paola to take care of your furry friend!”

Highly recommend!! I was so nervous about leaving our very shy, almost 2yo mini golden doodle for 10 days (first time leaving him with non-family/friends), but Monica and Kelvin made us feel so comfortable leading up to the trip - explaining how they had a lot of experience with anxious dogs and answering all of our questions. Then on the trip, they provided very regular pix and updates and were super responsive when we had questions. Our dog looked like he had a great time and was showered with lots of love! And is acting fully himself on his first day home - which makes me feel even better! Truly everything you could want in a dog sitter. Highly recommend!! We’ve already booked them for our next trip!

Mi was caring; provided outstanding care to Lily. She was very attentive and supportive regarding Lily's needs. Mi sent us updates along with videos and pictures of Lily's day. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Lily was in good hands. For our next vacation, we would definitely use Mi again.

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.
95% of sitters in Allendale 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 Allendale 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 Allendale.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Allendale 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.
