“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 :)”
“I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing Amanda was at caring for my dog. She clearly cares about each dog that she takes care of, even when my dog took time to warm up to them - she was patient and kind with him as he warmed up to a new environment. I appreciated all of the pictures with updates she sent each day. She also did a great job taking care of his injury and making sure he got his medicine every day. Thank you so much, Amanda!”
“Ridge had a great time with Tracy and Steve. They truly enjoy hosting dogs and keep them. They sent pictures on a regular basis and stayed in touch. We will definitely be bringing Ridge back.”
“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”
“I can't say enough about how amazing Suely (and her family!) is with my petite golden doodle Ollie. It is so difficult to leave him but Ollie is so happy at Sue's home and now I know I can go away rest assured that my pup is well cared for and loved! Thank you !”
“Ellie loved spending the weekend with Corinne and John. That was clear from the great pictures Corinne sent throughout her stay. They are true dog lovers who went out of their way to make Ellie feel comfortable and I was amazed at how quickly she took to Corinne during drop-off. I'm sure Ellie can't wait for her next visit.”
“I highly recommend Jaina as a dog boarder. She truly understands dogs and spent plenty of time playing with them. Jaina is conscientious, tidy, and very responsive. Very grateful she was able to take care of my dogs.”
“Briana took care of our dog Happy for 9 days while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job, and we could tell that she and Happy had formed a nice bond. She was very responsive to our texts. We received photos every day of them playing, going on walks, and relaxing together. We did a video call as well to check in. Happy was very comfortable, and enjoyed her time under Brianna's care. We'll definitely hire Brianna again in the future.”
“Roman loves staying with Caitlin and we love when he stays there too! Caitlin always communicates and sends updates and we can tell she truly cares for and loves our dog. Roman always comes back happy and content after playing with the resident dog :) we will continue to book with Caitlin for future needs!”
“Jonathan was amazing! We will be using him for all of our future vacations. Not only does he have extensive experience with dogs, but our dog loved him, and he even sent us pictures. We would HIGHLY recommend Jonathan.”
“Heidy was great! She took care of my pup Lady when I had to travel for a last-minute trip and it was incredibly easy. She’s easy to communicate with and I think Lady had a good time.”
“Molly was amazing! She was super communicative before and during our dog’s stay. He got plenty of exercise and play and snuggles. It was such a relief knowing he was getting such great care while we were away. I’d absolutely recommend Molly and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Great experience each and every time Manuel cares for our 5 yr old Frenchie, Layla. Reliable, friendly, and enthusiastic about watching dogs. All you could ask for and then some!”
“Melanie, simply put, is one of the very best dog sitters we have ever come across. Our beloved beagle is a senior dog with health issues and anxiety, and Melanie puts her right at ease. She takes amazing care of her, as if she was her own. Melanie sends us pictures and updates and it makes us so much more comfortable to know our dog is comfortable with Melanie. We can tell as soon as we enter her home that our pup is happy to be there. I really don't know what we'd do without Melanie! She's truly terrific and we are so grateful.”
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“Our dog Max's second stay with Rhea and Max went as wonderfully as his first! Rhea and Michael take extraordinary care of Max and provide consistent updates with his daily activities. Their large fenced-in yard is great for our active pup -- he loves it! Thanks again!”

So happy to have found John! He took extremely good care of my little velcro dog, while I recovered from knee surgery. He was in contact with updates & photos everyday, which is important to me. I miss that pup like crazy when she’s not next to me! She went on tons of walks & John paid extra attention to her when she was anxious about being away from home (me). John is truly a kind soul.
The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.
Veronica took great care of my Nutmeg! Knowing I was going to be away for two weeks, I was nervous about leaving her at a boarding facility where she's been stressed when I've taken shorter trips. After a meet & greet, I was already at ease. In addition to loving my sweet, old girl, I also received photo, and text updates. I'm so thankful I found Veronica, and look forward to future trips where I'll know Nutmeg is loved, and care for.
Leaving Rosie with Vanessa and her family while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, Rosie was beyond excited to be there and was treated like part of the family. Vanessa kept us updated with so many photos and videos of Rosie playing, relaxing, and clearly having the best time. It made being away from our girl so much easier and gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was so loved and well cared for. We could truly enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying for a second. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, communication, and genuine care Vanessa and her family showed Rosie. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Our dog, Coach, had a dream stay with Kristen over Christmas. He was treated like royalty. She handled his food and meds like the pro she is, but also carved out a path for him so he wouldn’t have to walk on the snow. She sent several videos a day, he looked SO happy. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to board him at Kristen’s house. He looked like he didn’t want to leave!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell 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 Caldwell.
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 Caldwell. 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 Caldwell 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.
