“David R loves my baby Luther and they had an absolute ball hanging out together. David goes above and beyond making your pet feel loved and well cared for. Plus he takes really nice pictures of your dog and keeps in contact regularly so you won’t worry about a thing. Highly recommend.”
“Purvi, as always, was fantastic with our puppy! Naturally, he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up. She’s incredibly good with him, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care while we were on vacation. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Amanda did a great job with our dog Jojo! She was patient and caring. She sent pics and updates to us!! She allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not be worrying about the dog! We are thankful:)”
“Our pooch had a wonderful time hanging out at Steven's house. There is a lot of indoor space and a fenced yard to play in, and other doggy friends. Steven sent us photos every day of all the fun. Steven was very easy to communicate with and perfectly accommodated our schedule. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful situation so close to our home in Hopewell.”
“My dog had an excellent time staying in Carole’s home while I was working. She has a beautiful home with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. Would definitely recommend!”
“My dog Kai had the greatest time! I could tell when I picked her up that she wasn’t antsy to leave and looked healthy and cared for. She didn’t seem stressed out. Kimberly did such a great job at making me feel at ease and I didn’t feel worried at all with Kai being away. Will definitely be using Kimberly again!”
“Finding a pet sitter is one of the most stressful aspects of moving. Meeting Kim when I moved to Bethlehem was a Godsend! Kim watched Tuck on numerous occasions in the 1 12 yrs I was there and was always so accommodating and took such good care of my old man! She even dealt with his raw food diet, which not ever sitter will. She helped with some minor ailments,as well. And, we became good friends. I left the area this week and leaving Kim was the worst part! Hopefully, I will find someone half as good in Pittsburgh!!”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“This was the first time that we have used rover to board our dog while on vacation, and we were incredibly pleased with the care provided to him by Johanny. Our dog (Benny) was just diagnosed as being hypothyroid and was dealing with many different associated conditions that required medicines and a lot of extra care. This was why we decided to try Rover rather than just boarding him at a kennel. Johanny was available at late notice and was amazing with Benny. We received pictures each day and she had no trouble administering all the medications. He was healthy when we returned and we are incredibly grateful for the care that she provided. We will DEFINITELY be using her again in the future.”
“This was our third time booking with Matthew for Phoenix, and at this point I honestly can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else. Finding someone you fully trust with your dog is rare, and Matthew consistently gives us complete peace of mind every single time. Phoenix is always so well taken care of, happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while he’s there. You can tell Matthew genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and it makes such a difference. We also really appreciate the updates, communication, and overall reliability throughout every stay. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we trust this much with Phoenix, and we’ll absolutely continue booking with him in the future. Highly, highly recommend.”
“Bobbie took great care of our old dog - giving him meds and making sure he was comfortable and happy. She also sent daily pictures and updates. Our pup seemed perfectly content when we picked him up and we’ll definitely use her again!”
“I have never met a dog sitter as kind, loving, wise, and experienced in providing the very best care for dogs as Yoko. She treats people with the same warmth and kindness as well. Her husband is also a truly wonderful person. They took care of our elderly dog, and when his condition suddenly worsened, they gave him the most attentive and compassionate care without ever sparing their time or effort. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful that we entrusted our beloved dog to Yoko. Yoko and your husband, thank you so very much.”
“Carole is fantastic! She is very caring and sends videos and communications throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Zoey was getting loving and was being so well cared for. We will definitely be taking Zoey to Carole again.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app and Valerie made it a great experience! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was very safe with her and he had so much fun! Will definitely be booking with her again soo!”
“Kathleen is reliable, highly observant, and genuinely passionate about animals. This was observable through her friendly and warm demeanor, and compassionate verbal and physical interactions with Haru and his responsiveness to her. Her photo update was sincerely appreciated and gave a secure sense of transparency. The environment was clean, organized and provided ample free space for indoor and outdoor movement.”
“Kim is the best! She consistently keeps us updated with photos and videos of our Mikko every day of his sa. He enjoys the walks and staying over, always having a great time with other fur friends.”
“Sara was incredible with Khloe, if Khloe would have went to a normal boarding facility I know she would have been in a crate for 23 hours a day as she has some aggressive tendencies with other dogs. Khloe was given special attention and care since she wasn’t able to have a typical boarding day with the other dogs, Sara kept Khloe with her and she got to spend some time on the farm. Thank you Sara for taking such great care of our girl!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alpha
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!

There are 979 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alpha. About 91% of Alpha sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
