“This time is my first time using her and she is very communicative about Brie’s diet and asked me first before giving her extra meat in her meals. She is also willing hold her a few hours after supposed time to pick up. I am grateful.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have loved having them as part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and how important it is to leave your pup with someone you trust. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection. I’ll treat your dog like family and do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home every day, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention and walks throughout the day. I can offer doggy daycare and boarding any day of the week, including weekends. I only board and sit dogs from one household at a time so your fur babies will be safe and only get attention from me. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to provide regular walks on a leash, supervised outdoor time, and plenty of play and attention. As an experienced dog owner, I understand the importance of following your instructions, maintaining your dog’s routine, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always respect their individual needs and boundaries.

“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Once again Bhavani was a perfect host for our Bernedoodle. She followed all our instructions and special requests and sent us video/pictures updates several times a day, so we were always informed and at ease during our vacation. We could not be happier with Bhavani’s services and will definitely use her again for our next trip out of town.”
About: I've been training (my own) and taking care of dogs for most of my life. From puppies to large/giant breeds, and even seniors — I can handle them all. I have been working from home for the last 12 years and have a very flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to be available at any time. I have a Great Dane at home. I'm open to caring for you pets here, provided they get along. In terms of care in your home — I think it's pretty simple. I follow you're routine.

“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”

Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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.”

We had a long flight delay coming back and they were so kind to watch her for the entire day without any hesitation and allowed us to pick her up very late in the night. We will definitely take our dog back to them again! Thanks Christian and Vivian!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley Heights
As always, Linda and Doug have taken excellent care of Shadow. He loves going on walks and playing with the other dogs. While he doesn’t always eat his usual amount of food when he is away from home, they accommodate him and his quirky behavior when eating. Thanks!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jenny! She is incredibly nurturing, kind, and genuinely sweet. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. She treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. What truly meant the most was her kindness and flexibility when my daughter had unexpected car trouble and couldn’t pick him up. Without hesitation, she went above and beyond and personally drove my dog back to my house. That level of thoughtfulness and compassion is rare. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable to care for your pet, I highly recommend her. Your fur baby will be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention!

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.
94% of sitters in Berkeley Heights 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 Berkeley Heights 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 Berkeley Heights.
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 Berkeley Heights. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Berkeley Heights 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.
