“First time using Rover. 4 year old yorkie with alot of energy. Emily is super professional and loving. Her care is a 10/10 and we will be using her services for the foreseeable future. Thank you Emily for your tender loving care with our baby Toby ✨️”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“It literally doesn’t get better. Amanda is so attentive both to our pup and to us. We get regular pictures and updates when away. Our pup can’t wait to visit Amanda again. I would highly recommend her services to every and anyone.”
“My dog loved his stay with Sarah. She took him into her home on short notice and was super accommodating. She made sure I received lots of updates and photos and I could tell that he was having a blast in all of them. I would recommend Sarah, her husband and their pups to anyone looking for an attentive sitter for their dog. :)”
“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”
“Melinda was amazing with her updates and communication and I will definitely be boarding my dog with her in the future! I was nervous at first because my beagle Oscar is timid and has never stayed at someone’s home before, but he slowly came out of his shell while he was with Melinda and he was obviously well taken care of the two weeks she had him. I absolutely recommend Melinda and have already passed on her information to a couple of friends who are looking for pet sitting in the future. Thanks Melinda, you made Oscar feel at home and I’m glad he stayed with you!”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
About: I can help you with housesitter at day or overnight and give the 100% attention to your pet. If you will be on vacation and you give me the facilities at your place (nothing fancy) I guaranteed that your pet will be on vacation too!! This will be my other part time job during the week, right now I am busy with a weekend job. However I know taking care of your beloved pet is a full time responsibility, and I will make sure they get fully taken care of when I'm with them or walking them. I spoiled them if I'm allow to. I enjoy to have them on couch and bed and play all time, go out to park, take them outside. Give lot of kisses and hugs. But of course I respect your rules and I will keep the your pets routine too. And about trust, I consider myself as the most honest and trustful person that you could know. I worked on houses (sitter/laundry attendant) and hotels (receptionist/night auditor) and I never grab something that is not mine.
“Amanda is amazing. We took a 4 day road trip and left our two small doodles with her. It was our first time leaving them home and we had a lot of anxiety and nerves but Amanda send us constant updates. She took them outside to play for hours and even bought a pool so they could maybe swim and cool off. There was other dogs that our pups got to meet and socialize with and they had a blast playing. The vibe was a doggy summer camp. I am confident she took care of our babies as if they were her own.”
“Carole was so great and I would recommend to anyone! She updated me with pictures and her home and fenced in area seems great for any sized dog. Thank you again Carole!”
“Valerie was amazing. This is our first time to use Rover and I was a little nervous. She communicated with me the whole time and also shared photos of my fur babies. I highly recommend Valerie!”
“We had a meet and greet to be sure Teddy would be a good fit for their family. Things went well so we scheduled his stay. There was good communication prior to drop off and daily updates with pictures during his stay. From pictures we could see they included him as part of the family and he got lots of attention and exercise. When we picked Teddy up he looked happy. Sarah and Doug said he did well and was welcome to stay again. We felt very good about the experience and would book again.”
“Steven was flexible and easy to work with. He seems to be very knowledgable about dogs and treats them with care. I received regular updates and photos while we were away. I think that Dusty enjoyed his stay!”
“Chandar was absolutely fantastic. This was our first experience leaving our dog, and Chandar did everything we asked plus more. He gave us updates twice a day and photos of our dog throughout the day. From the photos and the feedback from Chandar, you know that your dog feels at home, calm and cared for. Our dog ate, slept well and got walked twice a day. Chandar went above and beyond in every element possible. Thanks Chandar we look forward to traveling again in the future with a stay again with you.”
“Our two large dogs had a great time with Heather and came back so well-rested and happy! We really enjoyed receiving photos during their stay, seeing how much fun they had! Thank you, Heather!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Summer! She was happy and healthy when I returned from my cruise. I appreciated the communication, pictures, and attention to her raw food diet. Highly recommend your pet-sitting services!”

Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

94% of sitters in Alpha 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 Alpha 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 Alpha.
<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 Alpha 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.

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.
