“Debbie sent pictures and all I saw were 2 small dogs who did not miss their human Mom. There was play time (smiles and action), down time (cuddling and relaxing). I was always under the impression they sat in a corner and missed me with all their tiny hearts, but no - Debbie had them going the whole time! One fell asleep on the drive home due to the days action, the other needed every minute of tthe days action! Her property is amazing! Gorgeous setting only maybe two or three miles from downtown Bernardsville. So much safe space to run and play in. Exploring is at the top of Louie's requirements and he had a whole acre of fenced in yard to get all his Terrier on! Thanks so much Debbie! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!”
“My dog Opal loves going to Jaclynns house! She stays with her every time I am in the area for work and it makes things so much easier for me. She is always exhausted at the end of the day from all the activities they do.”
“Excellent and caring provider. She takes the time to speak to you about your pet’s needs as well as spending the time to learn and experience your pet. She is extremely knowledgeable about all types and ages of dogs and their needs. She is very flexible with scheduling. She provided constant feedback throughout via texts, pictures and videos. My puppy had a wonderful experience with Jessica and her crew!”
“Kumud did a great job taking care of Harley! We were visiting family for a day & needed a last minute dog sitter and she made sure Harley was well taken care of, ate all of his meals, and had a lot of fun with the other pups.”
“Jackie was wonderful with our little puppy! She sent updates throughout the day and was very good to work with. We will be using her a lot in the future! She's a great communicator, too. Very caring and he was in excellent hands!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs and absolutely love spending time with them — playing, teaching tricks, and taking them on walks. I grew up around dogs and have a real passion for it! I only take one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and focus throughout the stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can walk your dog in the early morning, during lunch, and in the late afternoon/evening — basically as needed throughout the day. I live in a house with my sweet two-year-old daughter, who is gentle and great with animals (no grabbing or rough play!). Because of this, I’m looking to care for friendly, calm dogs who are comfortable around kids. If your pup fits that description, I’d love to give them a fun, attentive stay full of walks, play, and maybe even a new trick or two!
“Lisa was a wonderful dog sitter for Ellie’s daycare! She was so easy to communicate with for planning the visit, responsive for a meet and greet, and sent lovely pictures throughout the daycare stay. Ellie would love to stay with Lisa again!”
About: We love our dog but we aren’t crazy dog people. Our home is clean. We have a friendly husky and a large fenced yard. We don’t leave for longer than 2 hours when we have a dog over and generally take 1 guest dog at a time. We work from home and only watch when we can be here every 2 hours. We don’t go out for more than 2 hours with a dog staying. I have a big fenced yard and a friendly husky that will keep your pet entertained. We also have a great dog walking neighborhood and path.
“Jessica was great! I had a last min booking with her and she was super flexible with it all. She took great care of my dog and took her on many walks. She sent many photos of my dog playing with her dog and they were the best of friends. Thanks for caring for my pup! Looking forward to the next rebook!”

“Lupe was amazing from the initial conversation online to meeting in person. I could feel that our dog was in safe and reliable hands and he took such good care of him and got the best photos. Can’t wait to use him again!”
“Katie was amazing!!! She was on time and communicative the whole way. Even though it was cold outside she bundled up my baby and took her out for walks. Definitely re-booking with Katie!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering a safe, caring, and comfortable home for your pet while you’re away. I have an 8-year-old friendly, well-mannered dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My home features a large fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor breaks, and exercise in a secure environment. Since I work from home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I accept only a limited number of pets at a time so I can provide personalized care and ensure each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, cuddle, or simply stay close to people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m especially patient with pets who need slower introductions, extra reassurance, or a structured routine. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Whether you need daycare or overnight boarding, my goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I’d love to learn more about your dog and see if we’d be a great fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already have a friendly 8-year-old dog at home. I work with a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, supervision, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I am available for boarding, daycare, and weekend care, and I always try to keep pets comfortable with their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. I have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor play and a calm, pet-friendly home environment. My dog is gentle and well-socialized, and I introduce pets carefully to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I follow feeding schedules, provide plenty of attention, and can accommodate crate routines or special instructions if needed. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.
About: I have been pet foster parent since 2018, in this time I have been able to care for around 30 pets. Some come with special challenges but have thoroughly enjoyed and fallen in love with every one of them. Goodbyes have been tough, they have gone on to loving home and thrived. I am thankful to be a small part of their journey! I am currently on work break, which gives me plenty of time to play, take long walks, and give your pet the attentive, dedicated care they deserve. I live in a townhouse with a large living / dining room and if needed can create a separate area for the pet's comfort. I have access to a large non-fenced backyard and long walking paths.
About: I am a local college student available to care for your furry “baby”; providing love and care as you would while away. I have experience caring for range of pet ages understanding the needs of younger pets (exercise, stimulation) as well as older pets (mobility, meds, etc.). Either way I take my time and exercise patience in getting your dog comfortable and happy with me caring for them. My goal is to be their “stand in pet parent” and care and love for them as they way you do. I believe to do that it is important to gain trust and confidence with meeting beforehand if that works for you. I hope to make your pet feel comfortable so that their stay or care with me will be an enjoyable one for them, and a reassuring one for you. I am a college student - where I work my schedule to be available for your pet’s needs. I have taken care of my dog of 15 years and understand being available with the different needs of a young puppy to a more older dog. I will provide attentive, loving care by following their routine, giving plenty of affection, exercise, and patience, while creating a calm, safe, and loving environment.
About: I am able to build a genuine bond with each pet. I take time to understand their unique routines, behaviors, and preferences, so they feel safe, happy, and loved, even when you are away. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of affection, play, and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, medication, or just cuddle time, I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I have my own pet sitting business, and I have never turned down a client in the five years I have owned my company. I always find time for pets. I have a chocolate lab named Jumbo, who is treated the equivalent of royalty. As for the animals I pet-sit for, I walk them three times a day (more or less depending on the age), play with them for at least 30 minutes outside, feed them, and tuck them into bed.

Katie is absolutely amazing! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Hatchi and made sure that he was comfortable and happy the entire time. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how he was doing. It’s clear that Katie genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and Hatchi came back relaxed and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you Katie!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Basking Ridge commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
