“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Karina spent a full week caring for my dog J. They were a great fit together .. and I was very pleased with how much she enjoyed her time with him. Abundant communication throughout each day: pictures, videos, and notes about activities, and how he was adjusting. It was a great comfort to know he was being well cared for, and given so much positive attention & love. Truly above and beyond my expectations. I am sure J is looking forward to seeing Karina again.!!”
“Gail did a great job with Raven. We usually are worried about whether Raven will adjust to a new sitter, but Gail quickly sent us pictures and a note letting us know how quickly she bonded with Raven and how calm she had become.”
“Vivian and Kathy are very easy to interact with. They have a calm demeaner and my dog who is usually anxious seemed relaxed with them. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and clean. Really appreciated the daily photos. It was our first stay and a long one. We will be returning!”

Highly recommend to anyone who might be feeling anxious about leaving their dog for the first time - they’ll be in great hands with this sweet family!”

“My pups loved Jessica! It was my first time using Rover for our 9 day trip and everything went so smooth. My mini doodle is usually skittish but he went right to her and from the daily photos we received, he loved cuddling and staying by her side. He had plenty of other small doggies to play with and get his energy out. Thanks Jessica for making boarding not so scary!”
“We left our 3-year old female cockapoo for 5 days with Katie and she seemed to have had a great time while we were away. The host family was nice, attentive and caring. We got daily pictures and updates about our dog, which was very nice. We would highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone. Thx”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I recently lost my Beagle and while I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, I truly miss having a dog around. Caring for your pup feels like the perfect way to have some extra four legged company while giving your dog lots of love and attention! I’m responsible, patient, and dependable and I’ll treat your dog like they are my own. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine and give them a safe and loving atmosphere! I work during the school day Monday-Friday, but I’m available after work and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a clean, calm and loving home environment where your pup can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty routines, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll also keep a close eye on your dog throughout the time I’m in charge of them. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I’ll treat your dog like they are part of my family.
“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.”
“Caroline was amazing at keeping me up to date with photos and videos of my dog’s stay. Her family made Harper feel welcomed, loved and super comfortable. I highly recommend her !!”
“This is Finley‘s second overnight with Chris and all went well once again. I would definitely recommend Chris as a Dogsitter. I appreciate that he sits for only one client at a time so I am sure that my dog is getting the care and attention that he needs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brookside
Andres was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Lance! From the moment we dropped him off, he made Lance feel right at home in a comfortable, welcoming environment. It was clear Lance got plenty of attention and genuine care, and Andres kept us completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!
This is the second time that Maui was with Andres And. she was so happy to see him again. It is important to find someone you can trust. Their home is beautiful and Andres is very attentive to Maui. I highly recommend Andres to care for your dog. He’s careful and extremely patient since Maui has lot of energy and love.

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.
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 Brookside 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 Brookside 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 Brookside.
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 Brookside. 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 Brookside 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.
