“Jessica was the absolutely best caregiver for my dog. I feel like my dog didn’t want to come back home due to the amazing care that Jessica provided. The updates and pictures flowed through all week and it appeared my pup had a better vacation than I did! I will 100% use Jessica again to care for my dog. Jessica was professional, very friendly, and the perfect choice for my dog Boots. Thank you again Jessica!!”
“Jessica is the best! We left our Harper with her while we were on vacation for 1 week. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Harper was in such good hands. We received updates and pictures every couple of hours. Jessica helped harper with her puppy nipping, leash training, and eating from the bowl. So overwhelmingly happy with the care Harper received.”
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.
“We had a lovely experience with Bhavani! She was very flexible and accommodating our our slightly uncertain drop-off/pick-up times. She was also very responsive to our texts and sent several videos unprompted to show how well Tala was settling in for her short stay. This was great for our peace of mind!”
“I truly appreciate Alex and the wonderful care she provided for my pups while I was away. She has watched my younger dog, Mila, before, and Mila is always happy and excited to see her. This time, Alex cared for both Mila and my 14-year-old Yorkie, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Knowing they were well cared for allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without any worries. I would gladly trust Alex with my dogs again.”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“Hollie did an amazing job taking care of Scooby. He stayed with her for a week and looks like he had a lot of fun. I received many updates throughout the day which I appreciated. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Shaun and his family were an amazing host! He took very good care of our dog, taking her on daily walks, playing with her and sending frequent updates and pictures. We highly recommend Shaun and will look for him in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alison was wonderful to work with! She was kind, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I truly appreciated her reliability and thoughtful updates, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing and so loving with Charlie. She was very communicative and gave us constant photo and video updates. Her kids were also wonderful with Charlie. We could tell Charlie had the best time because she seemed a little sad when she came back home. Highly recommend Ekaterina and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Leslie is great and was able to accommodate my two dogs based on their own individual needs. I trust Leslie always has thier best interests in mind and keeps them safe and happy.”

“Carine took such great care of our Daisy, and was really good with communication. Carine was also very flexible with a change in pick up time frame, which we really appreciated!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Gigi received! Gigi is a micro American Bulldog, and this was the second time she stayed with them. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure Gigi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gigi came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved during her stay. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but they exceeded our expectations both times. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Gigi—we will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“Jenny is fantastic! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We’re very happy with her service and would definitely trust her to care for our dog again.”

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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Berkeley Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Berkeley Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
