“Teresa was wonderful with our dog, who can be a bit nervous in new situations. He settled in quickly thanks to her calm approach, and it’s clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. We’re very grateful and would happily book with Teresa again!”
“We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!”
“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.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better host for our dog Coco! Di was absolutely amazing—so loving and caring. From the start, she provided us with the attention and communication we needed to feel safe leaving Coco, who is like our baby, in her care. She kept us updated throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Coco was happy and well taken care of. We are so grateful for her kindness and will 100% trust her to watch Coco again in the future! THANK YOU DI!”
“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.”
“My first time leaving my dog with someone and he fell in love with Tammy and her family from the beginning(dogs know good people)! Updates and pictures of the dog made it all much easier. Coming home and seeing how calm and happy he was, was enough to know he had a great time! Definitely will be our “go to” person!”
“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!”
“From booking his stay to picking up my dog after my trip, Christabel was communicative and trustworthy. In the initial visit to her apartment, it was evident it was very clean, safe, and stylish. She proactively asked for documentation needed in case of emergency which is thoughtful. Throughout my dogs stay I received numerous photos and videos of him being walked or lounging, and he didn’t seem anxious like he usually is in new situations. He stopped eating like I mentioned to her, and she went out to get a different wet food for him which he loved! She also got him a small ball at the same time to try a new toy. I have used more expensive pet boarding services in the past, and decided to try rover to save money. Im glad to say the service provided by Christabel was so personable and comforting I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“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.”
“Diamond and her husband always takes such good care of our little fur baby! She is amazing and communitive and sends pics. I never have to worry about my fur baby and that feels amazing! I have come back to Diamond often when my schedule gets really busy!”
“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!”
“Faith was an amazing choice to look after my dog! She was very flexible with me needing someone at the last minute. During the stay she kept me updated with lots of pictures! I will definitely go to her next time I need a sitter.”
“Keisy was amazing. She took very good care of my dog (Cocoa), she asked all sorts of relevant questions beforehand so that she can meet all the needs of my Cocoa. It feels like I found a perfect place because she has 2 adorable dogs and it’s like having a play date for my Cocoa. She also sent pictures and videos that brought smile on my face even while being away from him. Oh!! I have to mention, Keisy has such a beautiful place, it is very nice, clean and organized, I was super impressed :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Grove
1st time user of Rover... I wish I did it sooner. Yuberkis was amazing. We took an extended trip and were gone for 10 days. Yuberkis kept our minds at ease that our pup was being taken care of. We appreciated every picture/video during our trip. If I could I’d give an even higher rating. So glad we used Rover and so glad we chose Yuberkis. Thank you for everything.
Caitlin was excellent! She took our dog for multiple walks, made sure he was comfortable at her home, and sent us lots of great pictures and updates during our trip. We felt very secure knowing Caitlin was watching our dog and will definitely be hiring her in the future!
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.
Bell was wonderful and I appreciate her accepting my last minute request to watch my separation anxiety prone Chihuahua/Yorky mix. She sent me several pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was able to keep my pup calm and happy while I was working. I highly recommend and would use again!
Valerie was great with my senior dog, Gerry, who she watched for about a week while I was on vacation. Between his age and his separation anxiety, Gerry isn’t always the easiest pup, but Valerie knew how to let him settle in — when to love him up, when to distract him, and when to give him space. She always updated me on how he was doing, and worked with me to find solutions if he seemed particularly grumpy. Gerry also has a bit of a complicated medication regimen, which Valerie handled perfectly. She clearly has experience will all types of dogs and their needs, and I felt confident leaving Gerry in her capable hands. I’d absolutely call Valerie 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!

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 Cedar Grove 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 Cedar Grove 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 Cedar Grove.
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 Cedar Grove. 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 Cedar Grove 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.
