“Nicole was so great to work with! We had a meet and greet before left our two pups with her :) Drop off and pick up were super easy. She watched them over the 4th of July week and sounds like all were happy! Thank you Nicole! 🐾”
“Holy cow, Annette and Martin, I never came back to the site to review Ozzie's stay last month! It was great!! He was so very happy and we are so grateful for the care and love you showed him. I never worried about him for a minute of our very long vacation, and appreciated every photo and video you shared with us. Again, so sorry for this delay. Please know that we so value your wonderful treatment of our little guy.”
“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”
“Cindy was very flexible with scheduling and allowing Duke to have a meet and greet prior to our scheduled boarding. Cindy also shared photos and videos during the stay.”
“Megan and her family are AMAZING! We felt so comfortable having Cooper stay with them, and can’t wait for more stays in the future. It’s truly a pups home away from home :)”
“Zyiana was great! She was so flexible to accommodate my travel times. She sent great pics and videos during updates giving me great peace of mind while I was away.”
“Hands down the most amazing sitter! The pictures and videos sent showed how loved my baby was. So much so when I came to pick her up. She greeted me and went right back into their home. Will 100% book with her again and highly recommend”
“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”
About: I’ve loved animals from a very young age and have experience with all kinds of pets. I have about 15 years experience working in a very busy specialty veterinary hospital as a vet nurse for their emergency service. So you can trust your pets are getting the best care and I can spot a potential health issue/emergency if something were to arise. Along with my medical background I have a great deal of experience and interest in animal behavior and training. Having worked with my own dogs and worked directly with trainers for my own knowledge. The hospital I worked for was fear free certified, I absolutely carry those gentle and patient techniques over when working with your pets. Taking the time to gain trust is super important! I recently moved back to this area, I went to school in haddon heights. Since moving back my schedule is pretty open so I can focus on taking care of your pets! I have my own car and can come to your house so your pet(s) don’t have to stress in an unfamiliar environment. Alternatively I do offer day boarding in my home which has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to run. Whatever the circumstances, I am available by phone/text always and will happily send updates and pics as often as you’d like so you can enjoy your time away from your pets.
“Monica and Conrad did a great job watching over Murph. He really seemed to fit in with Pongo. I liked hearing the updates too. I’ll be going back to them in the future for more boardings.”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 we’ve always been a dog family. Even now at the age I am we still have dogs we walk them, take them outside every couple hours and feed them twice a day I have a passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I make time every day to feed pets, provide fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I keep a consistent schedule and can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra walks, medication, or sticking to their normal feeding schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I provide updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for during their time away.
“We were very happy with the care Luna received! David was very thorough and incredibly professional during our meet & greet. He kept us updated with daily photos and updates. A bonus was he also picked up and dropped off! We recommend using David and absolutely will be booking again.”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Our second time leaving our jack Russell mix terrier with Alyssa and Marcus and they were great. Our dog loves playing with their dog and they'd share photo updates throughout the days which we really appreciate. Highly recommend them as great dog sitters.”
“April was awesome with Harley! She sent many updates and photos. Harley looked, and was, relaxed and comfortable. Harley has Myasthenia Gravis and has a specific medication and food schedule, and April kept to the schedule perfectly. I highly recommend April to care for your furbaby!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
We were a little concerned about leaving our big, 12-year old, sweet boy, who had never been boarded overnight with a sitter. We needn't have worried!! Stephen and his family made Rowan feel so at home! Stephen sent multiple pictures every day of Rowan doing what he does best: just lying around the house, stretched out on the floor, or snuggled up on the couch - totally chill. The fenced yard was a real plus for Rowan! We couldn't have picked a better place and a better sitter for him. ❤️ We won't be nervous about taking trips without Rowan anymore! Thank you, Stephen!!
Megan and David and the whole gang really took such good care of Tunes today! All of my interactions with Megan and family have been extremely positive - I really appreciate the responsiveness and the offer for a meet and greet last week! Thank you guys so much for hosting her and special shout out to Bonnie for being such a calm and kind big golden retriever sis :)
I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Alfie, with John & Michelle for multiple weekends this summer! Alfie has some separation anxiety and behavioral quirks, so finding the right sitter can sometimes be challenging, but John & Michelle were incredibly understanding, accommodating, and welcoming. They provided excellent communication throughout the entire process and were quick to respond, even accepting my last-minute boarding requests. It’s clear that they’re experienced, attentive to specific needs, and genuinely care about the dogs they look after. They provided Alfie with a safe and comfortable environment and kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Alfie was clearly well cared for, felt safe and relaxed, and had a great time! I would absolutely recommend John & Michelle to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such great care of Alfie!
We booked boarding with Melissa last minute, and She was able to accommodate us. Boarded our corgi for 2 nights and Melissa was very patient with our anxious pup, She sent us updates and photos which makes us comfortable. Thank you so much Melissa! Very recommended if you want to have a reliable sitter for your pups! :)
Kevin is wonderful caretaker for our beloved two pups. We knew from our meet and greet that he is a great fit for our dogs. He understands dogs well and hence, being dubbed as the "dogfather" is well-put! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pictures of our dogs and has remained in contact for updates with us. We would love to have him puppy sit our furry babies!
Our dogs had an amazing time at Danielle’s place! She sent frequent updates so I felt totally confident they were in great hands. Both pups felt so comfortable with her — a testament to her patience and kindness as a home away from home!!! I would absolutely LOVE to book with her again!!

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.
