About: Early Retired with a heart full of love for animals and plenty of time to spoil your furry family member! I offer a safe, peaceful, loving environment with personalized, one-on-one attention. Whether it’s a walk, a daily check-in, or an overnight stay, your pet will be treated like family! I also offer some light grooming while pet sitting. I have cared for young & senior dogs as well as I unneutered & unspayed dogs. I retired early, and have availability to care for pets as if they were my own. My daily walks would include any dogs I’d be caring for. Your dog will enjoy all the comforts of home, including snuggles on the furniture and even sleeping in bed with me, if that's what they're accustomed to and you allow it! With 6.5 beautiful acres to explore, your pup will enjoy daily walks, outdoor adventures, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. Safety is always my top priority! Although my property is not fenced, your dog will always be securely attached to me by leash or long lead while outdoors and will NEVER be left outside unattended. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! 🐶
“Jenny and family were amazing. They gave my very senior boy so much love, attention, and expert care. He got the royal treatment! Communication was great and got many wonderful updates and pictures throughout. Her space was perfect to host pups with gates and dog steps. Would 100% recommend and book again.”
“Dierdre took great care of my dog, Baxter, from April 24–May 5. She sent frequent photo updates, and he was clearly happy and well cared for. Her family was warm and welcoming, and Baxter even bonded with their dog. Highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“A++++ Our puppy Lulu had the best weekend with Carrie & family! Everything perfect and she was taken care of as if one of their own. We could not be more pleased especially with this being the first time we were away from her, and the first time we tried the Rover app. Thank you so much!! - Highly recommend! 👍👍”
“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”
“Steven was great with my 2 large pups! He sent pictures and was very quick with responding. It was my first time leaving them with a stranger so I was nervous but Steven made sure they were well taken care of and comfortable. He walked, played and hung out with them each day. He even went and bought them a little extra of their food when they ran out! I would 100% use him again!”
“Sol comes highly recommended by us! This was our first time using a sitter and Sol made us feel so at ease leaving our fur baby. She stayed in touch throughout the day, made sure she was comfortable with a set up ready for our arrival - food, litter, treats, etc. Sol was very flexible and understanding as we were moving and had to adjust our schedule some.”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”

I was very pleased with everything!!”

No need to have any concerns about her dog Shakes...he is such a sweet, gentle, patient, older dog... Kloie clearly loved him! She and her family really loved on our little Kloie and we appreciated that so much! Kloie seemed to be living her best life while we were away LOLL”
“We are very happy to have found Lisa on Rover. As soon as we met Lisa for our meet and greet, we instantly knew she was an animal lover and felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her for a week. Lisa was very sweet and even sent us pictures and a video while we were away. We knew Tyco felt right st home and loved Lisa because he didn't care to see us when we picked him up.”

“Hands down the best Rover experience I’ve ever had! The meet and greet was incredibly thorough. I felt completely at ease leaving my two dogs in Brinyedi’s care. Throughout their stay, I received tons of updates and adorable photos that showed just how happy and well-cared-for they were. I’m officially a forever client. My dogs will always be staying with Brinyedi while my husband and I are away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Brooklyn was amazing as always! My dog Toby, who has separation anxiety, had a wonderful time even when he had a few whining episodes at night. She was so patient and sweet with him. When he came home, you can tell he felt loved the entire vacation. He ate, drank and slept like normal. He had a nice doggy vacation with Brooklyn and of course, we will definitely be booking again if needed. Thank you Brooklyn!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Clayton 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.
