About: What sets me apart is that I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while their family is away. I’m in school during the week, so I’m available to care for pets after school and on weekends. Pet care is already part of my routine because I help care for our family dog and regularly dog sit for a friend. I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention and care they need during the time I’m with them. I have a fenced yard where your dog can enjoy supervised outdoor time, and one friendly dogs to keep them company. I’ll introduce the dogs carefully and follow your instructions for meals, walks, and playtime. I can crate your dog if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow their usual routine and keep you updated.
“Maris was amazing and so accommodating with my booking. Constant updates with Maui and lots of cute pictures ! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, I’m so grateful that you took such good care of my boy. Thank you Maris so much!!”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Melissa took great care of our pup for two weeks, over holidays and on short notice. She was diligent and sent pictures every day to let us know our pup was comfortable and happy.”
“Rosario and her family were wonderful with Churro! I had to find care while I was away for 2 days. I was nervous to leave him with strangers but Rosario made me comfortable before I left. Lots of walks, playtime and activities for Churro even though it was raining. I appreciated the daily updates, photos and videos and I could tell my pup was comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Rosario!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have always been around dogs since a baby and have had one of my own as I got older. I also have had a cat raised from a baby when I was a teen and been around many others as well. I love playing and interacting with animals especially dogs and running with them because I like to be really active with them and to make sure that they are well taken care of. Animals are the sweetest creatures ever and they bring me so much joy and happiness to be around them. I am very compassionate when it comes to animals and have experience in training and fostering as well. I currently work full time during the week, so I will have plenty of time to interact and take care of pets on the weekends. I have a fenced backyard for them to play, and I also have a large crate to keep them in if I have to make a quick store run. If I need to get any supplies for the pets there are plenty of stores around me to get items from.
“Natasha was absolutely amazing with my 7yo Cavapoo - Champ. We had a meet and greet and Champ liked her from the get go. She was very patient with us while we were figuring out our travel plans and was very communicative throughout. Champ isn’t great with other dogs and has a couple of other “peculiarities” but Natasha was great at accommodating all of them. We were at ease and comfortable that Champ’s every need was being met while we were away. I highly recommend Natasha and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.”
“Provided excellent quality of care to my fur baby. They were attentive and communicative during the length of my booking. I would trust them to continue watching my dog for further stays as the need arises.”
“Brianna was amazing! I contacted her super last minute and she responded very quickly and took in my dog. She was super responsible and constantly sent me pictures while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“I’m usually very nervous about leaving Benji, he’s wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up. That’s why I was genuinely surprised at how quickly he trusted Akshay. While I was away, Akshay was consistently responsive and communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also extremely flexible and worked with me on dropoff/ pickup, which made everything easier. It’s obvious he truly cares about animals and has a lot of empathy; Sirus’s excellent manners are a reflection of that. When Benji got injured, it was heartwarming to see how much Akshay truly cared. He continued to check in even weeks after the booking ended to see how he was doing. I find it difficult to find people with his level of transparency who build a lot of trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Jo is AMAZING! My Wheatie Belle had such a great time hanging out with her, Callie and Presley…I’ve vowed to make sure they hang out once a month…LoL…that’s how GREAT she is!!!!”
“Lauren and her family were great! Our 5 month old Jack Russel had a wonderful time with them! Lauren sent regular message updates and pictures while we were away for a week! She even made sure to buy extra dog food in case they run out of the dog food I prepared (he's a growing boy!). I am very happy to have found Lauren on Rover and will definitely come back to her when we need a dog sitter again.”
“Adeel was great and Maxey had an amazing time! He was super responsive and sent me a bunch of photos during Maxey’s stay. I would definitely book with Adeel and his family again!”
About: I grew up with dogs around me since I was 10! I have experience with senior dogs and those that are sick or post-op. I also work well with high- (and low) energy dogs! I am also usually the go-to for boarding among my friends and family! 😎 I’m currently working a typical 9am-5pm full time job. My availability are as follows: available for boarding on weekends; can walk your dog(s) or drop-in after 5:30pm on weekdays but anytime on weekends; always available to house-sit! For boarding, I have plenty of space in my home for your fur baby(s)! I can easily crate them if needed. As I recently moved, I had to leave my fur babies behind with my family back home so it won’t be a worry if your fur babies don’t get along with other dogs :) For house-sitting/drop-in visits, anything you and your fur baby’s needs!
“From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!”
About: I am happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and care based on your pet’s individual personality and routine. I will do my best to make them feel right at home. I work from home on Thursday and I can provide boarding over the weekend as well. I can take walk based on your pet’s routine I have two bedrooms apartment so there will be plenty of space. There is dog park right across my apartment. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well.
“Blanca was super communicative and caring for my dog, Cosmo, and his specific needs. I really appreciated her sending me pictures and videos throughout my dog’s stay, and I could tell he had a lot of fun. Would absolutely recommend and Cosmo hopes to be back soon!”
“Benji had an amazing time with Linda during the dog boarding. I received pictures and videos several times a day. She was also willing to answer questions prior to the boarding. I highly recommend Linda for another boarding and would use her services for our next vacation.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Carteret is $60

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.
This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾
Our sitter was absolutely amazing! We had so much unexpected chaos during our trip from our original sitter canceling, to our flight being rerouted to Cleveland because of a storm. Through all of it, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. She made a very stressful situation so much easier for us by taking such great care of our dog, Lola. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her kindness, patience, and understanding throughout everything that happened. She truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️🐾
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!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
