“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Cherie and her family were great hosts for our canine family member Gigi . Gigi received great care and had lots of fun with the family puppy and young son - whom Gigi now regards as one of her very best human friends (he knows how to really throw a ball).”
“Dalton & Leia were great! Our dog was anxious staying somewhere new and they did a great job making him feel comfortable. Provided updates and videos. Definitely recommend!!”
“Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!”
“Michele took phenomenal care of Chandler and made him feel like one of the family. Her house was spotless and in a great neighborhood not far from the Morristown dog park. Michele sent pictures as I requested and demonstrated compassion for Chandler’s old-age challenges and quirks.”
“Diana was kind, patient, and very adaptable. My dog had a nervous tummy during his stay, and she not only adjusted his food but also made sure he got plenty of cuddles and care to feel at ease in a new environment. Diana’s experience with dogs really shows—she understands their needs and well-being. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with her, and you can too!”
“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!”
“Bobbi was absolutely amazing! I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her while I was away on holiday. We got daily pics and my pup looked very happy in every one of them. Can’t recommend enough and would definitely use again 🥰”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog! Her correspondence was great and we knew our dog was in the best care the whole time we were away! Highly recommend her, she is lovely!”
“Amanda has been really caring and took care of my dog luna very well. She constantly updated me with the status of luna and her pics as well. There were instances where I received photo of luna playing with her and her husband. Overall during my dog boarding with Amanda, my dog luna felt as if she was with another family where she vacationed and had a blast. Thank you.”
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.
“Our two senior dogs always love their stay with Louis! He has a perfect yard for them to run around and play, and Louis is always great in taking care of them. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home away from home for their pups!”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing with our puppy. Lots of pictures and communication during the stay. She took excellent care of the puppy and puppy clearly enjoyed her visit. We would highly recommend Ekaterina and would love to have to watch our puppy again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, so welcoming another pup into my home feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable reading their body language, helping nervous or shy dogs settle in, and giving more energetic pups the attention, exercise, and play they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like I’d want someone to treat my own. I have a dog-friendly home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I also have my own dog at home, so your pup will be joining an experienced, dog-loving household where caring for dogs is already part of everyday life. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge around the house, follow you everywhere, or do a little bit of everything, my goal is simple: make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. Dogs in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches and can enjoy regular potty breaks, time outside in my large fenced yard, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. Whether they’re happiest relaxing nearby while I work, getting outside frequently, or looking for a little extra play and attention, they’ll have plenty of companionship and won’t just be waiting all day for someone to come home. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re part of the family, not just a guest. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside throughout the day to play, explore, and burn off some energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of activity and interaction or simply a comfortable place to relax. Safety is always a priority, especially when introducing dogs to a new environment and to my own dog. I supervise interactions, give dogs the time and space they need to settle in, and make sure their stay is safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible.
“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!”
“Violetta was an absolutely amazing sitter. We have almost never boarded our cat and were very anxious about how he would do. Violetta was so patient with him, though, and gave us regular updates during his stay. We could see how he relaxed within a single day, and how happy and settled he seemed when we went to pick him up. It was such a relief to know that our cat was with someone who made him feel safe, and we are so so grateful! Thank you so much!!”
About: Lifelong animal lover, experienced pet caregiver, and proud member of a four-dog household! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds — from hamsters, bunnies, cats, fish, and birds to countless dogs (and even a seahorse!). Today, I share my home with four lovable pups — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — so, needless to say, I’m no stranger to big personalities, lots of energy, or a little extra fur & slobber! 🐶 Beyond caring for my own pets, I have plenty of experience looking after others’ furry friends and volunteering with animal shelters, rescues, and adoption events. ❤️ I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means long walks, games of fetch, learning new tricks, feeding and grooming, or simply some quality cuddle time. 🐾 Above all, I want every pet to feel happy, safe, and loved! Whether your four-legged friend needs an energetic playmate, a reliable caregiver, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like family. 💕 Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life, especially with four dogs of my own! 🐶 Since I currently work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week, including weekends and evenings. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work around your pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or extended stays. My schedule is very accommodating, so don’t hesitate to reach out! My home is a very pet-friendly, loving environment! 🐾 I have four dogs of our own — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — who are incredibly friendly, well-socialized, and love welcoming new furry friends! I’m accustomed to having visiting dogs, including fosters, and our pups have always gotten along wonderfully with them. I also have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door for easy outdoor access, along with plenty of space for playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crating if needed. With four dogs at home, I’m certainly no stranger to fur, slobber, muddy paws, or big personalities! 🐶 I also have hands-on experience with basic pet first aid and administering medications. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being, and will always treat them like family. ❤️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cedar Knolls
Daiana was absolutely amazing!! ❤️ She took such great care of Samba while we were away, and it was clear he had the best time with her! He came home happy and completely exhausted from all the fun! 😂 You can tell she genuinely loves and cares about the dogs she looks after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Samba was in such good hands. We’re so grateful and would definitely trust her with our baby again! Highly recommend!! 🐾❤️
Michele took phenomenal care of Chandler and made him feel like one of the family. Her house was spotless and in a great neighborhood not far from the Morristown dog park. Michele sent pictures as I requested and demonstrated compassion for Chandler’s old-age challenges and quirks.
Todd was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever and took such great care of him during the five days we were away. It was clear that he treated our pup with genuine love, kindness, and attention, which meant so much to us. Leaving your dog in someone else’s care is never easy, but Todd made the entire experience feel comfortable and stress-free. Our dog requires medication, so finding someone responsible and trustworthy is especially important to us. Todd handled everything without any issues and gave us complete confidence and peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you, Todd, for taking such great care of our boy!
Christina did an excellent job taking care of our Cavalier, Stefon. She sent daily picture and video updates, and made Stefon feel as part of the family. She went above and beyond, even bathing Stefon when he got dirty playing outside (or peed on himself because of his long hair). Would highly recommend her if you’re considering boarding your dog!
Michele was wonderful with our hound mix, Wendy. We were apprehensive as we had never used a pet sitter before, especially since we were going to be away for two weeks. Wendy could be a handful, but we were kept informed about her days with numerous reports and pictures. It really seemed like our Wendy had her own little vacation! We would definitely use Michele again and would recommend her to others!
Audrey was the best sitter we could’ve asked for. I got stuck on vacation due to cancelled flights for 3 extra days, and Audrey allowed me to extend my dog’s stay with her with no issue at all. When I finally picked my dog up he was very happy/comfortable and I could tell he was taken care of. I would highly recommend her service to anyone!
Riti was absolutely wonderful! She watched our girl, Lady, for a few days and it was a great experience from start to finish. Riti was super communicative leading up to and during the stay, sending tons of photos, which I really appreciated. Riti took care to follow the long list of care instructions I left with her as well. I would highly recommend Riti, and I will definitely be using her again in the near future! 💖🐶
Alka is my pup’s and my new favorite person! I am so thankful I found someone I trust to take care of my Yorkie, Clover. As the owner of a recently adopted 8 year old Yorkie with a few health issues , leaving him with someone new was stressful. Alka immediately put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. He looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved❤️. I couldn’t recommend Alka more highly.
Mike did an outstanding job caring for our two Goldendoodles while we were away. From the start, he was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were comfortable and happy. He followed their routine closely, paid attention to all of their needs, and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and plenty of pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Most importantly, our dogs had an amazing time with him. It was obvious from the updates and from how happy and relaxed they were when we got home that they were well cared for and genuinely enjoyed their stay. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care Mike provided and would not hesitate to book with him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter.

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 Knolls 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 Knolls 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 Knolls.
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 Knolls. 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 Knolls 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.
