“Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!”
“Julissa and her sister took great care of sparky. He came up tired and had a great time playing with them. They also sent pictures of him. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Kate was great and was so flexible with our crazy holiday travel plans. She sent frequent photos and assured me my dog was doing just fine. She was communicative, prompt and was a total life saver for us! Would absolutely book with Kate and her sweet family again.”
“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!”
“For Gita’s first overnight stay, we chose Jessica and we are so glad we did. We had peace of mind knowing that Gita would be at an attentive home with only small dogs. We received many photo updates and could tell Gita was having a ball- making friends and getting all of the cuddles! We will definitely choose Jessica in the future.”
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“I am very thankful and appreciative for your care and love for my dog. I really enjoyed receiving photos and update while I was away, that really eased my mind. I highly recommend !”
“Margarita is a wonderful pet sitter as well as a kind and thoughtful person! Cody stayed with her for four days and I got multiple pictures and videos of him enjoying his stay. Margarita was great about communicating and so accommodating when our flight was delayed getting in and I had to do a late night pick up. Highly recommend!”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
“Jillian and Andrew are wonderful doggy hosts! Our Boston Terrier Boo feels right at home with them. We've booked stays with them a few times now and they are the first call we make when we need a sitter for Boo. They've really come through for us and I absolutely recommend them!”
“Sadie was well looked after with Areli and family and she enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with other dogs. Areli was quick to respond to communication and sent us photos and updates on how Sadie was doing whilst we were away. Areli was also happy to accommodate Sadie for an extra night at short notice. We would happily have Sadie stay with Areli’s family the next time we are away.”
“Inna took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She would send me update pictures unprompted and my dog absolutely loved staying with her and her family. I highly recommend Inna to take care of your pets. =)”
“I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Whitney but Michael was wonderful (as were their kids). Very quick to respond to all messages and kept me informed of how my pup was doing frequently. He was also very accommodating when our trip got extended by a day. Skylar seemed happy as a clam when we picked her up and told me she'd be happy staying with her new friends any time! We'll be back - highly recommended.”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”
About: I've been caring for dogs since 2013, when I welcomed my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dogs and sharing everyday life with them. I now have Cooper, a mixed breed dog who joined our family in August 2025. My experience also includes volunteering for dog walking field trips with St. Hubert's. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I look forward to learning your pet's routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable in my care. I'm usually home Monday through Sunday, so I can offer care on weekdays and weekends. Boarding and day care fit into my home routine, and I can arrange drop-in visits around each pet's needs and my existing bookings. I'll confirm the schedule with you before booking and keep my calendar updated for travel or other changes. I welcome dogs of all ages up to 80 pounds. My current home is a small house on a spacious, unfenced property, so guest dogs will be supervised and kept on leash outdoors, away from our eight free ranging chickens. Cooper, our 53 pound mixed breed dog, is friendly with other dogs and has his own crate. I'll arrange a meet and greet, supervise introductions, and discuss compatibility and any separation needs before accepting a stay. Two children, ages 8 and 11, are with us every other weekend. When they are present during a booking, I will personally supervise them and their interactions with guest dogs. Children and guest dogs will never be left alone together. Please share how your dog behaves around children, other dogs, and birds. For drop-in visits in your home, I'll follow your care instructions and your dog's usual routine, and agree on updates and emergency contacts before the booking.
“Lisa was great! Ellie stayed with her for two nights and is now home and sleepy from playing so much with Lisa’s dogs. She sent pictures and kept us updated. And her home was super dog-friendly. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
“Auggie and I had an amazing experience with Heather and her family. This was the first time my pup had stayed with anyone new outside of my own family, so I was a little nervous about him being anxious. We did a meet-and-greet the week before, and Heather (and her very sweet family) made me feel completely comfortable and confident. During the stay, I received many fantastic, detailed updates and photos of Auggie’s long weekend of fun. Heather has great, well fenced yard that Auggie enjoyed many zoomies in - even on the day it rained. Auggie can be challenging to walk in public due to some dog reactivity, but Heather took great care to follow the tips I passed along when I dropped him off and I felt totally at ease. 100/10 would (and absolutely will) be returning again!”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”

Highly recommend Debbie! My first time using Rover and she took all my fears away the minute I met her. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated on how she was doing with photos. She took care to slowly introduce my dog to hers to make sure they got along and even checked on her in the night. Highly recommend.
Karina was fantastic! She took great care of our dog Cooper, showing him a lot of love and attention. As did her kids. She was very responsive to us, and sent us updates every day along with multiple pictures. We plan to use her again in the future, and would highly recommend her.

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.
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 Bernardsville 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 Bernardsville 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 Bernardsville.
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 Bernardsville. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Bernardsville 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.
