“Kristen was amazing! She communicated often and sent great pictures of Baxter with her beautiful children. I felt very lucky to have found her on Rover. Especially because it was a last minute emergency.”
“Kathleen watched my dog over the weekend while I was away at an event. I was nervous, but she kept me updated with photos & msg the entire time. Her msgs help me realize that my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book again with Kathleen. She was sooo good to my dog”
About: Hi there! I’m an lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve had pets throughout my life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is full of energy, a little more laid-back, has some quirks, or requires specific care instructions, I’m happy to accommodate and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I work from home in a spacious house with a large, fully fenced-in yard, which means your dog will have plenty of room to play, explore, relax, and enjoy their day. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I also have plenty of indoor space to comfortably accommodate dogs of all ages and sizes. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 11 years, I’m looking forward to sharing that same love and attention with other dogs who need a safe, happy, and loving place to stay. Whether it’s daycare while you’re at work or an overnight stay while you’re away, my goal is to make your dog feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pup is being cared for like one of my own! Since I work from home full-time, pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine! I’m home throughout the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give dogs attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, and plenty of companionship. My large, fenced-in yard makes it easy for pups to get outside and burn off some energy, while there’s plenty of room inside to relax and get comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daytime daycare, overnight boarding, or following a specific feeding, walking, or care routine. I love having dogs around and would treat every guest like one of my own! My approach is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and right at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, dogs have plenty of indoor space to relax, a large fenced-in yard to enjoy, and someone home throughout the day to give them attention and companionship. I always try to maintain their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions their owners provide. I understand that every dog is different, so I adjust my care to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide photo updates throughout the day!
“I can't say enough wonderful things about my pet sitters! They were so incredibly heartwarming and welcoming to my dog, Brooklyn, right from the start. They truly took care of her like she was their own, and that made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The daily pictures and updates they sent were fantastic, and it was clear Brooklyn was having a blast. They even gave her extra toys and showered her with the utmost love. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my dog, and I appreciate them so much!”
“Deborah and Edmund are a hidden gem that we are so glad we found! We recently moved to the area full time and needed to leave our 1.5 year old pup for a full weekend. We met Deborah and Edmund before the weekend, and immediately trusted they would take great care for our 35 lb mini goldendoodle. They had a dog of their own for 13 years and seemed very comfortable, confident, and competent caring for our dog which helped us not have a worry over the weekend we were gone. They sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend of a happy pup that only confirmed he was in the best care and being treated like their own. We will absolutely be using Deborah and Edmund for any future boarding needs, and would certainly recommend them to anyone!”
“Denise was amazing with our pup. Sent plenty of photos. This was our 2nd time having our dog with Denise and would use her again. Our dog had a blast in the fenced in backyard. It was perfect for her.”
“Vanessa provided exceptional care for our dog. She consistently sent us updates with photos and videos, keeping us informed about our dog's stay. Her knowledge and warm-hearted nature were evident, and we're thrilled to have found her in central NJ. We wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future. ❤️”
“Our girl Nittany loved her time with Kateri & Mazey! Kateri was great with communication and sending updates and took great care of Nittany. She even sent us home with a report card of the stay. We’d recommend Kateri to anyone!”
“I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.”
“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
“My Leah is a wonderful dog but can become sad when we leave her. Joanna was amazing!!! She was very interactive with Leah the whole time she cared for her. Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”
“Michelle watched my old guy mini-dachshund, Mojo, for a little over a week while we traveled. I am always nervous leaving him anywhere - but Michelle was so sweet, sent pictures & check-ins, and took great care of him. Mojo seemed like he had a great week. :)”
“Anthony was a great host for our pup! He was extremely flexible in terms of our drop off time, and understood that we were looking for someone to just take Lucy for a half day rather than a full over night so that we could enjoy a day at the beach. Lucy genuinely didn't want to leave, and jumped out of the car to go back up the steps to the front door - so a glowing review from our pup! We'll absolutely look to use Anthony again when we're on the island, and have already recommended him to our friends and family in the area. Thanks again for looking after our pup!”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Bass River can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bass River home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bass River.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bass River. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bass River sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
