About: I have 5 plus years experience with dog boarding (repeated clients),dog sitting and dog walking. My Pomsky who I've had since he was 3 1/2 months old, is especially fond of dog parks, so we frequently visit, he's a dog lover and very sociable. As a pet parent myself, I cannot stress enough how much I understand the need for,and also encourage text messages for daily updates, photos ,and questions. I'm free most of the week,in the afternoons and can offer flexible dates and times. I'm also available for same day bookings. I can only board dogs at my home but for anyone needing house sitting for cat(s) I am more than happy to arrange that. In all the services I offer,I strive to make both your pet and yourself feel above else safe and comfortable through the brief period of separation. I'm more than happy to oblige to any instructions or routines established in your home/pet's daily routine while also offering comfort, if experiencing anxiety. I'm located near a renovated park that has a beautiful bike/walking track with plenty of greenery for your dog to walk, play and run. I live with 2 very dog friendly pets. I have a 6 year old tabby cat, and a 3 1/2 year old Pomksy. To engage in play, I have a 6 foot bright colored/mesh collapsible tunnel and plenty of toys ! Please see pictures.
“As usual, Tuck had a GREAT time at Kim's! He has gotten very comfortable and gets excited on the car ride over. I know he is well cared for and loved on in my absence. He is even making friends with the other pups. I also greatly appreciate Kim's flexibility and help in scheduling.”
“Johanny is super sweet and pleasant and I can tell she loves dogs. She sent me updates and pics to let me know how Scout was doing. I will be a return customer for sure!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I’ve also cared for both indoor and outdoor cats and am comfortable with different routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and am happy to follow their usual routine. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. I’m committed to making time for pet care and providing dependable, consistent care. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting them in yours, I focus on keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. In our home, we limit care to no more than two pets at a time, giving each pet plenty of space and attention. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow all instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.
“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Steven and his family have taken very good care of our dog and provided updates everyday with pictures. We highly recommend Steven and will definitely use their services again.”
“Jim provided excellent care for my pup. I really appreciated his availability when my previous boarding arrangements fell through at the last minute. My pup is a finicky eater and Jim kept me up to date on her feeding habits and asked permission to add tempting meat to her food to entice her. She loves to run at full speed, so his fenced property was ideal. Jim also communicated with me as well as provided plenty of photos during her stay and a video of her socializing at playtime. Thank you Jim!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Matthew as our dog sitter! Our dog had an absolute blast playing with his pups, and it was clear he felt right at home. Matthew kept us updated regularly with adorable pictures and status updates, which made us feel so at ease while we were away. Both my husband and I were extremely satisfied with the care Matthew provided, and we would absolutely trust him with our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Stefanie was very good at communicating Abby’s activities and adjustments in a new setting. throughout her stay. All went well. It was obvious when picking up Abby that she had adjusted well to Stefanie’s home and family. She also included some pictures of Abby during her stay which made me happy. I’m very comfortable to use Stefanie again.”
“Joan was a great sitter for our baby, Nimer. I loved receiving daily updates on how he was doing as well as pictures and videos. We chose the boarding option, and Nimer had the best time at Joan's house, sleeping on her bed, playing in the cat tunnels, and climbing the cat trees. He also got along so well with her ferrets! Her house is free of any harmful products and is a safe space for just about any pet. Nimer will definitely be coming back when we go on our next trip. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Carole was so great with our 3 Bernese Mountain Dogs. It was very comforting not having to worry while on vacation knowing she was taking great care of them! They can be a handful sometimes. Carole sent pictures and an update everyday”
“Kaipo loved Scotts home. He was so excited to be there. Nice big yard to run around in and other dogs to play with as well. One of the biggest changes I noticed after Kaipos' stay was that he now returns the ball to me when we play fetch. He would never do that before. Keep away was his favorite game. Took him to dog park and I was throwing the ball for him for nearly an hour. He bought it back every time, dropped it and waited for me to pick it up and throw it again. That was a nice change and I want to thank Scott for fixing that. I had fun.”
“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!”
“Brooke and Jeremy are fantastic! They have a big yard which is perfect because our dog loves to be outside. And they accommodate our dog as if he is one of their own! 😊”
“Scott loves dog and my dog had a great time with him. What attracted my attention at the beginning was Scott’s long term experience of taking care of dogs and turned a rescued dog into a therapy dog. During meet and greet, Scott was transparent and he told me his life stories particularly with dogs by showing many pictures. He missed his last dog Jack very much. He also patiently learned my dog’s behavior in order to make my dog being less stressful and comfortable during boarding. He was willing to make changes to accommodate my dog’s behavior and he prepared well before I dropped off my dog. He updated me at least once a day with multiple pictures. I could see my dog was happy, playful and tired. When I picked up my dog, Scott reviewed details with me what happened during my dog’s stay. I highly recommend Scott being your dog sitter. Your dog will be in good hands.”
About: Hello Fur-Parents! I am an aspiring naturopathic veterinarian, with a desire to save animals lives and offer them a second chance at life! I treat every single animal as my own baby. I currently own two toy yorkies, bunnies, birds and chickens. I would be delighted to walk, petsit, or board your cat and/or dog! I have plenty of time to give your pet(s) the playtime, outdoor fun, and affection they deserve! I am dedicated to making sure the animals are happy! I have a huge property of 5.5 acres and two small yorkies to keep your pet(s) company! I have a lot of space, so if your baby is anxious or doesn’t respond well to other doggies i can also separate them from each other. I can give them as many bathroom breaks as needed. I can also walk them around my backyard and around my neighborhood so they can stretch their paws 🐾

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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
