“I would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisy’s stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisy’s stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.”
“Jose has taken care of Ginger several times now to Great satisfaction. Recently shes been requiring extra care and attention and Jose made sure she was kept clean and comfortable. Thank you for everything you do”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”

“Katie was great to work with and my dog came home tired and happy. Communication was easy and I received lots of photos. She lives near a nice park which my dog had a blast exploring. I would definitely book again with her!”

“Anky is wonderful. Great communication while we were away and providing daily photos of our pup. I could tell our puppy really liked her because when we picked him up and Anky was walking away, he stood on two legs looking towards her wagging his tail till she was out of sight. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amanda and her family took great care of Roy at their home. Amanda provided lots of updates and clearly gave Roy a lot of attention. He returned home very happy!”
“Na was amazing in taking care of my rescue dog who is generally very nervous and shy around strangers. She took the time to let him get to know her and gave him plenty of space to play and took him on many walks. The communication throughout was also top notch, I got so many pictures and updates, which made me feel at ease that he is happy and safe with her. At the end of the stay my dog was so comfortable that he wanted to go back into her house! Which says a lot! I’m sure both my dog and I will be happy to go back.”
“Maria is always amazing with Argos! This was another great experience, even though it was just for one night. Argos loves going to her place, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well cared for. She’s reliable, caring, and someone I feel comfortable trusting with my fur baby. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Brianna was amazing, very communicative. I have two big dogs and she was very comfortable with them. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking.”
“We have a nervous pup who had never been to a sitter before. Margarita was clearly up for the challenge. She worked with him to to make him feel comfortable comfortable and as she promised they eventually became BFFs before the end of the weekend. She sent us constant video updates which made us feel comfortable and at ease. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jennifer was such an amazing pet sitter!!! She cared for my cats for what was supposed to be 5 days but I ended up dealing with a last minute travel nightmare which prevented me from picking up on the agreed date and time. Jennifer was so gracious and kept my cats 2 additional days last min. She sent frequent videos and pics to let me know they were ok. Jennifer is also super sweet 🤗. If you're in need of a cat sitter I would highly recommend booking with Jennifer. Thank you again for your kindness and for being so accommodating when I was in a bind!”

Vernisha was absolutely amazing and accommodating. She took my booking very last minute as I had an unexpected trip. Thank you so much for making everything convenient for me and keeping me updated every day you had my pup. My dog means the absolute world to me so also thank you for taking care of him. Will definitely use your services again in the future.
Jennifer is amazing! Our bay girl, Coco, absolutely loves her and her dogs. She gets so excited for doggy daycare and overnight stays when we go away on vacation. Jennifer truly goes above and beyond and takes such incredible care of her while we’re gone. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Coco is happy, loved, and in great hands. We’re so thankful we found her — and Coco is too!

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 Carteret 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 Carteret 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 Carteret.
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 Carteret. 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 Carteret 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.
