“Bryan and Jacquelyn and very loving couple and took great care of Lucy twice. They welcomed her into their home like their own dog and sent us pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
“Our experience with Ilene was wonderful. My energetic 2 yr old lab mastiff was right at home here and my disabled partially blind mini dachshund was totally safe and comfortable in Ilene's care. She has a great professional set up, text us pictures while we were away of how happy our kids were and had their beds fresh out of the laundry all packed and ready for pick up on our return from vacation. A true animal professional, Ilene is Kind, fun and a throughly devoted animal handler. We will use her again, for sure!! Thanks Ilene ”
“Our dog was in great hands for over a week! Natasha was incredibly attentive and provided plenty of updates throughout the stay. She let us know how our dog was acclimating, updates on his eating schedule etc. Highly recommend!”
“Carlos took in Barkley on a busy Labor Day weekend as I had a last minute business trip. I was a bit worried as Barkley had never stayed with anyone besides myself & an immediately family member. My experience was nothing short of amazing. Carlos made sure to keep me up to date throughout the day with updates. He included pictures/videos to make me feel more at ease. By the end of my trip I felt very happy that I chose Carlos. Great guy & Barkley seemed to love her stay as well. I’d recommend to any friend looking for a dog sitter & there isn’t anyone else I’d use for future trips. 5 star experience & I’d give 10 if it was possible.”
“Lucinda and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Their small beagle is very sweet and had no issues with my dog as well. Lucinda sent us photos almost everyday and even printed out some photos of our dog for us. Would highly recommend Lucinda’s services and would definitely rebook.”
“Kevin is a fantastic caretaker. He has a great dog run in his backyard that I love because my dog hates walking on the icy salted sidewalks in the winter. He provides a wonderful home with exceptional care and excellent communication. I’d definitely use his services again and recommend him to anyone.”
“Nicole was very accommodating regarding drop off and pick up hours. She sent some pix of my dogs relaxing, and when I picked them up at the end of their visit they seemed as though they had been happy and well-cared for during their stay. I would use Nicole's services again next time that I am in the area.”
“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”
About: Hi, I’m AnnMarie! I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, but really started understanding the love and care they need when I got my first cat and first dog at 7 years old. I grew up with Labrador retrievers, a blue front Amazon parrot, cats, frogs, fish, hermit crabs, and some others I’m definitely forgetting as I write this. I currently have a dog named Maple, a spunky, confident, and affectionate 1.5 year old corgi who would love a few more friends like your dog or cat! She grew up in a home with a ton of other dogs and cats and is always up for playdates and sleepovers. I’m capable of providing whatever your animal needs - a long (or short) walk, playtime, snuggles on the couch, meals, and commands/trick reinforcement. I also have experience administering medications to dogs and cats, including eye drops, and can manage other normally challenging health conditions or issues. I currently work full time but have availability in the evenings (usually after 6pm) on weekdays for drop in visits or walks, and most weekends are completely free for boarding, day care, drop ins, or walks! I frequently update my calendar to give clients the best idea of my availability. If you don’t see something/the dates you’re looking for, please reach out and we can discuss. I have an extremely friendly dog to keep yours company, but if the preference would be separation between yours and mine, that works perfectly fine too! I have a spacious home with multiple bedrooms and a large backyard, though it isn’t completely fenced just yet! I’m also a short drive from a huge park, where I frequently walk my dog, otherwise I keep walks local.
About: I'm a certified professional dog trainer (#KarinTrainsDogs) and pet mom to [now] 2 dogs and 1 cat. My other dog just passed away on 10/10/25. She was dog-reactive, so now that she is gone, I am able to accept boarding on a case by case basis. My dogs are Milan (13 years old - she is my working dog and sometimes helps in dog training) and her dad Jorge (17 years old - he has a high level of canine autism; he is the reason I became a dog trainer). They are both Beagles. Jorge lives in his own world. My cat is Theodore (about 10 years old - the nicest and easiest cat ever), but he lives in my bedroom so will only interact with your dog if your dog comes into my bedroom. I have a hybrid full-time day job so I go into the city 2-3 times a week at most. I also train dogs on weeknights and weekends. That said, I will only accept boarding on days when I do not have to be away from home for more than three hours. My dogs are place/spot/dog bed and crate trained. I believe that all dogs should be crate TRAINED. This does not mean that all dogs should be crated, but I believe all dogs should be crate trained at the very least so they are comfortable staying inside a crate - if needed. This does not mean that I will crate your dog; however, if you want me to informally crate TRAIN your dog (this is an actual training protocol), I can do that for free! I do not allow my own dogs on furniture. I sometimes allow them on my bed. I may be able to offer some training (formal/informal) to your dog while it's here. If you're interested, this can be discussed after your first booking is completed.
“Kristen was amazing! I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and found her. Her great reviews sold me on choosing her and it was the right choice. Very communicative and sent lots of photos! Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!”
“Kaitlin and her family took fantastic care of Poppy during her stay. She sent numerous photos and videos showing how happy Poppy was in their home. Could not have asked for a better experience.!”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Raheem was an excellent host for Willow. She went with him easily and was happy roaming his extra large fenced in yard. We appreciate you taking care of our dog. Would highly recommend!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
“We boarded our boy Milo at Parth’s for 8 days. Parth followed Milo’s schedule and sent regular updates during the stay. our boy had a fun time with Parth and Snoops. Will be using him again.”
“Boo had a wonderful stay with Jillian and Andrew over Christmas. Really wished I could have taken Boo with us but was so happy that she was in the care of Jillian and Andrew. They updated us daily with photos and texts. Really nice people. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

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!

There are 13,883 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Berkeley Heights. About 87% of Berkeley Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 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.
