“I can’t thank Stephanie enough for the amazing care she provided for my dog, Oreo. He’s a very picky and spoiled pup, but Stephanie was incredibly attentive to all of his needs. From the moment I dropped him off, I had a good feeling—especially knowing her daughter and Oreo would become instant besties (and they did!). Leaving your pet behind is never easy, but Stephanie made the process so much smoother with her warmth, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to watch their pet in the area. Thank you again, Stephanie—you truly gave me peace of mind and Oreo a second home! 🐶❤️”
“My two dogs had a great time with Stacey. I was nervous because my one dog barks a lot on leash and hasn’t been for a doggy sleepover in 3 years- Stacey relieved my anxiety. I got pictures and updates. I got stuck in traffic and had changed both my drop off time and pick up time and Stacey was super accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“She took my dog in last minute and Liz is awesome. My dog was super comfortable in her home. Love her dog Kylo! She kept me updated on a daily basis and my dog loves her ! Will use her again for future sitting needs !”
“Martin and Annette are great with Layla Nicole! She fully enjoyed her stay with them. When we went to the Meet & Greet; Layla was immediately comfortable in their company and home. She went to both of them for love when we got inside; her tail a wagging! We were pleased with her response. After spending time with Martin and Annette, we felt confident that this was a good match for our family. They work well as a team and spoiled Layla as much as we do. We r sharing our experience with everyone we know who has dogs. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE MARTIN AND ANNETTE IN THE FUTURE!! They r a blessing to have in our circle of friends. Ty again Martin and Annette and may God continue to bless u.”

“I highly recommend David and Phyllis! They’re great people and really love dogs. We are so grateful to have them watch our dog, Toby!! Toby love’s going to their house which gives us a lot of piece of mind.”
About: Hello! My name is Cookie, and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. As a pet parent myself to a 9-year-old Yorkie Poo and a 3-month-old kitten, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have spent much of my life caring for dogs and cats and have experience pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors while they were away on vacation. Through these experiences, I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is the time, attention, and affection I can provide. As a newly retired individual, I have a flexible schedule and can devote plenty of one-on-one care to your pets. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I am happy to accommodate their routine. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to safely explore and play. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to giving your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. As a newly retired individual, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available every day beginning at 7:30 a.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's schedule and needs. Because I am retired, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, exercise, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I have the time and availability to ensure your fur babies receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture and are free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable. Dogs are taken for walks approximately every two hours and have access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and fresh air throughout the day. I follow each pet owner's feeding schedule and care instructions to ensure their routine stays consistent while they're away. In addition to meeting their basic needs, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. As a newly retired pet lover, I have the time to provide personalized care and companionship, helping your pets feel happy, safe, and right at home. If caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow their established routines and provide the same level of attention, affection, and care to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Hands down the most amazing sitter! The pictures and videos sent showed how loved my baby was. So much so when I came to pick her up. She greeted me and went right back into their home. Will 100% book with her again and highly recommend”
“Nicole took excellent care of my two little dogs for a whole week! I would absolutely use her again! She had a big enclosed back yard and she sent me updates regularly which made me feel more comfortable about being so far away!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Danielle was great! She was very attentive to our dog Dylan, who stayed with her and her two pups for three nights, and Dylan got along with her dogs--Gunner and Ruby--swimmingly. She gave him his meds on schedule and took him for walks. She also greeted us outside when we arrived and invited us in, which was much appreciated. Oh, and she sent multiple pictures Dylan each day. We will use Danielle again.”
“Alyssa and Marcus were great. They took great care of Barney and kept me posted with pictures during his stay. I would recommend them to others looking for good and responsible dog sitters.”
“David was great. Lots of pictures sent everyday. When asked him to change and do something else he was willing to do whatever I asked. I will be using David again on my next trip.”
“Dierdre took great care of my dog, Baxter, from April 24–May 5. She sent frequent photo updates, and he was clearly happy and well cared for. Her family was warm and welcoming, and Baxter even bonded with their dog. Highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Kevin loved our puppy, Sunny, like one of his own. It was her first time away from us, and he sent lots of update pictures showing her having a great time with Zeke and the other dogs he was watching. Will definitely use Kevin again!”
“Many heartfelt thanks for taking care of our pup for the weekend! Gina was responsive and understanding and kept me updated to make me feel at ease even though my little guy is 4 years old. I knew he was in the care of someone who is genuine. Her family was super friendly also! Thanks so so much!!”
“Nicole and Alexis were great with giving updates and sending pictures. Ruby seemed happy when I picked her up. Would use their services again.”

“Katie is a wonderful. I’m a repeat customer with my dog Sparky. Sparky loves staying with Katie and her family! Katie is great about sending pictures showing Sparky is doing well during his visit. I highly recommend her”

Stacy did a great job with Burt. He seemed to enjoy their animals and looked like he may have gained a “happiness” pound…usually he looses a bit with being away from I’m home and his routine, but this time he filled out a smidge and that was a good sign. Stacy always sends us pictures and lets us know how Burt is doing. We enjoy taking Burt there knowing that he will be well cared for and happy.
Adrianne was wonderful with Lucky! From the very beginning, I really appreciated how available, responsive, and communicative she was. She kept us updated on Lucky throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like he was in great hands the entire time. I felt very comfortable leaving Lucky with her. I would definitely recommend Adrianne to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet, and I would absolutely leave Lucky with her again!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
Our dogs had an amazing time at Danielle’s place! She sent frequent updates so I felt totally confident they were in great hands. Both pups felt so comfortable with her — a testament to her patience and kindness as a home away from home!!! I would absolutely LOVE to book with her again!!
Aivy was absolutely wonderful. We were so grateful to have found her when we needed care on short notice, and she graciously allowed us to extend a day when we needed it. She was kind, attentive, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Ollie came home happy and healthy. We would love to have Ollie stay with her again and highly recommend her!

There are 3,067 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Blackwood. About 89% of Blackwood 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
