“Nyema took really good care of my furry buddy Corky for a whole week. We did a meet and greet before my scheduled trip. Each day while I was away she sent a picture for me to see he was ok. She was even concerned that he wasn’t drinking any water or eating much the first couple days. After a couple days he adjusted and started to drink and show her his fun personality. He interacted with little ones too and played with them. I was in another state working but was never worried about him being away from me for so many days. I picked him up and he was happy. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Was so easy to schedule and book and super friendly and flexible ! Sent lots of pictures which was so nice ! Even treated my pup to some yummy blueberries! Can’t wait to have eve stay again sometime !”
“Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“We could not be more pleased with Kara’s care of our dog. This was our first visit and she treated him like part of the family with daily updates and pictures for us. We could not recommend her more. Thanks to her we had a relaxing vacation with no worries.”
“Sarah was fabulous! She took great care of my girl, Millie. We had an unfortunate situation arise on our trip away and had to extend our trip and Sarah had no issues at all watching Millie for longer than originally planned. Will definitely use her again to take care of our pup in the future and would recommend her to our friends!”
“Our second time leaving our jack Russell mix terrier with Alyssa and Marcus and they were great. Our dog loves playing with their dog and they'd share photo updates throughout the days which we really appreciate. Highly recommend them as great dog sitters.”
“Desi has stayed with them in the past, and they are wonderful! We had to add on a day last minute, and they were accommodating & sweet! They sent pics of our happy pup! We highly recommend, and (obviously) will use them again in the future! ♥️”
“Beth did such a brain job taking care of our three cats. One who is senior and needed quite a bit of medication and care. She went out of her way to make she they had what they needed including leaving a little faucet dripping so our finicky baby would drink water. 10/10”
“Did a great job to make my dogs feel comfortable and at home. One is kinda skiddish but he warmed up immediately. Would recommend to others and book again for sure.”
“Steven was great with my dog Luckee. He accommodated my last minute booking request and Luckee had the best time during his stay! Steven was very knowledgeable about dogs and I didn’t have any concerns whatsoever. I would definitely use him again.”
“Kathleen took phenomenal care of Atreus while I was away on a 15-day work trip. Leaving a pet for over two weeks can be stressful, but Kathleen made the entire experience worry-free. She consistently sent detailed updates, great photos, and fun videos that showed just how happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for Atreus was the entire time. Her communication was top-notch, reliable, and thoughtful from start to finish. I returned home to a happy, healthy pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend Kathleen in a heartbeat to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive, and I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”
“Just picked up our senior rescue Daisy from her first overnight stay (2 nights) away from us in the 11 months since we adopted her. We were nervous at first about leaving her in an unfamiliar setting but everything went very well. Donna is AWESOME! She sent pics regularly, texted updates and asked questions when there was something she was unsure of. Great communication, attention to detail and Donna went out of her way to be sure Daisy was comfortable, had plenty of walks, etc. Highly recommend!”
“Rose was responsive and sent update photos of Reina during her stay. Reina was so happy to have time at Rose’s house and loved her big backyard! Thank you Rose we will ask you to watch Reina in the future 😊💖”
“Kristina does such a great job with Oli, who clearly loves hanging out at her home while we are away. Kristina sends lots of pictures of her long daily walks and playtime at home.”

Amanda was wonderful! She sent me photos of my babies and gave me updates throughout the weekend. My Coco has some stomach issues and required medication and Amanda took care of her and updated me thoroughly. Amanda and her family let my puppies enter their home and their hearts. Amanda and her family treated them like their own. I would take my puppies back to Amanda in a heartbeat and highly recommend her as a petsitter.

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 Lake 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 Lake 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 Lake.
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 Lake. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Lake 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.
