About: I’ve had dogs since I was little, and I moved from my parents, I’ve always had pets at my places. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me with their furry loved ones. I'm currently not working and I am very active, so I have lots of time at home to play and take care with your loved doggy. I have a little fenced patio, where we can play and take breaks. I have also an American Bully, thats crate training in case your pet doesn't want to play.
“Maris was amazing and so accommodating with my booking. Constant updates with Maui and lots of cute pictures ! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, I’m so grateful that you took such good care of my boy. Thank you Maris so much!!”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient and quick to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I can help reinforce basic training, follow detailed care instructions, and give extra gentle care when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give I treat every pet like my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. For now, I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays. I may have flexibility on other days once I get to know your pet better or can adjust my schedule accordingly. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and play. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels comfortable and respected.
“This was my first time boarding my dog, Marley, and I highly recommend Rosario! From the very beginning, she reassured me that Marley would be well taken care of, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with the love, care, and attention Marley received while he was with her. She went above and beyond to help him adjust, feel comfortable, and even make new friends. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I am beyond pleased and incredibly grateful for everything Rosario did for Marley. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I will definitely trust you with him again!”
“Jian and his family took excellent care of my dog. They treated her like she was their own, with love, care, and respect. Jian sent lots of pictures and communicated often. I would not hesitate to recommend Jian and would love to use him again in the future.”
“Inna took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She would send me update pictures unprompted and my dog absolutely loved staying with her and her family. I highly recommend Inna to take care of your pets. =)”
“Shannon took amazing care of my Freddie. She answered all my questions before Freddie’s stay. He spent a weekend with her and I received nothing but the cutest photos of him! Freddie cant wait to go back! Thank you for taking such great care of Freddie Shannon!”
About: Have always grown up with cats and dogs, have fostered some dogs and am an overall animal lover. I have a corporate job where I can work from home some days I am mostly on here just for fun and to meet people in my area. Just getting started so would love to make you my first client. I work from home several days a week so am flexible to accommodate other professionals during office hours. Available on weekends also. Happy to flex. In my home, the animal would be the only one present at any given time. I love animals and your pet would be well cared for. Any interaction in your home, I’d be respectful of your space.
“Busta is always great in Vanessa’s care! This was our third time using her sitting services and we really appreciate her interactiveness with us during Busta’s stays. He is well taken care of and always happy!”
“Highly recommend Jessica! She was so amazingly helpful when we were in a bind. Maggie loved spending time with Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Maggie”
“Jacquelyn was the best! Amazing yard and location, and she went above and beyond to make our pup feel comfortable. She also sent lots of picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!!”
“Ryan took great care of our dogs. He provided lots of pictures with daily updates on how our dogs were doing. Our dogs loved their stay and were so well taken care of. Thank you Ryan!”
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
“Tiara was amazing with Bucket while we were traveling! She sent daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated and looked forward to every day. Bucket needed a little time to settle in, but Tiara made a few thoughtful accommodations for him and he became so comfortable there. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. The sweetest touch was the goodie bag Tiara sent Bucket home with, full of fun toys, treats, and even custom accessories. Such a thoughtful surprise! Thank you, Tiara, for taking such good care of my big baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.”
About: I’ve been around animals most of my life—growing up, our garage was home to a group of strays I helped care for whether if it were to create shelter for them during the pouring rain or leaving some kibble out for them to eat. I’ve also fostered cats short-term. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving them company, I’m here to help! I also provide a complimentary photo sticker of your pet during my visit ;) I use to work in medicine, but now I work full-time during the week in finance, so weekends are when I get to slow down—and I’d love to spend that time with animals. Pet care is a meaningful break from the hustle of my day job, and I genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a weekend walk or drop-in, I’m available and happy to help however I can. I’m also typically always available during the holidays. Please schedule a meet & greet with me if you feel comfortable. Over call works too! Please also feel free to include any specific request.
“Benji had an amazing time with Linda during the dog boarding. I received pictures and videos several times a day. She was also willing to answer questions prior to the boarding. I highly recommend Linda for another boarding and would use her services for our next vacation.”
“First time using this app and Cristian was the Best! Took great care of my puppy, walked her a few times a day, showed enthusiasm with her, and sent me photos and updates daily. Great caretaker, easy to communicate with and very understanding because I was a little late with my flight. Will be using Cristian again for sure next time!!!”
“Celeste was amazing to work with! I left on a trip and had no one to watch my dog Mika so I had Celeste take care of her for 1 week. Celeste was genuinely excited to watch Mika and she made sure to give lots of attention and affection. She created a comfortable environment and Mika quickly got used to staying in a different house. I received daily updates and photos and was 100% confident that Mika was in the right hands. 10/10 experience and I would not hesitate to leave Mika with Celeste again in the future.”

Kristen was excellent. She kept me updated with texts and pictures the entire weekend she had my baby. She took very good care of her. I could tell when I got her back that she was very looked after. This was my first time using a sitter for my fur baby and I had a great experience. I will be booking Kristen in the future whenever I need a cat sitter again.
Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.
Michael did an amazing job watching Doodle! You could tell he genuinely adores dogs, lots of toys, a comfy bed, and he even took her on some fun outings while I was gone. Doodle had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend him if you want someone who treats your pup like family!
Sharisbel was so patient with my Louis. She even has a dog of her own and they got along so good. Louis did get emotional because he missed us but Sharisbel was very patient, made sure she walked him played with him and showed him love. We will definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you soooo much. You are the best!
This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾
Our sitter was absolutely amazing! We had so much unexpected chaos during our trip from our original sitter canceling, to our flight being rerouted to Cleveland because of a storm. Through all of it, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. She made a very stressful situation so much easier for us by taking such great care of our dog, Lola. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her kindness, patience, and understanding throughout everything that happened. She truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️🐾
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
Kexin came through during holiday period when no other sitter was available. She not only was available but she offered a very reasonable rate. She took good care of my cats also. She showcased professionalism throughout the stay keeping us posted. She genuinely cares for pets. She is definitely someone I would book with.

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 .
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.

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.
