About: Have always grown up with cats and dogs, have fostered some dogs and am an overall animal lover. I have a corporate job where I can work from home some days I am mostly on here just for fun and to meet people in my area. Just getting started so would love to make you my first client. I work from home several days a week so am flexible to accommodate other professionals during office hours. Available on weekends also. Happy to flex. In my home, the animal would be the only one present at any given time. I love animals and your pet would be well cared for. Any interaction in your home, I’d be respectful of your space.
“Charlene was an excellent sitter for our dog Daegi. She was very attentive and always provided feedback including photos. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Daegi with Charlene again. I highly recommend her.”
“We knew immediately when Sedona walked into Zuzel's home again and ran up and gave her several kisses that she would have another amazing stay. Our Sedona is such an important member of our family, it is so reassuring to know that when we are away from her she is getting the best care possible. Zuzel and Zia, we can't thank you enough for all the love, care and attention you showered on Sedona!”
“Highly recommend Jessica! She was so amazingly helpful when we were in a bind. Maggie loved spending time with Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Maggie”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. To me, they’re not just pets, but beloved family members and lifelong friends. I’ve always had a special love for small, fluffy dogs and enjoy keeping them looking their best. This passion led me to become a professionally trained dog groomer. My training and hands-on experience have helped me understand the unique needs of dogs of different breeds and ages. I share my home with my sweet, friendly 11-year-old Maltese, who loves companionship. We’d love to welcome a gentle, friendly little guest into our home! I only board one small guest dog at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and personalized care. From daily routines and playtime to grooming and special care needs, I’ll treat your dog like my own family, providing a safe, peaceful, and loving home while you’re away. Basic bathing is available for an additional $35 during boarding. Full grooming services, including haircuts and styling, are available upon request at a separate rate. I work part-time as a professional dog groomer, and my workplace is very close to home. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. I enjoy spending time at home with my Maltese, and I only board one small dog at a time to ensure each guest receives personalized attention, companionship, playtime, and loving care. My home is located in a beautiful, quiet residential community with an open yard and plenty of green spaces for daily walks. There’s also a dog park and scenic walking trails nearby, perfect for enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice. Dogs are always kept safely leashed during outdoor walks. I only welcome one small dog at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention in a peaceful, clean, and comfortable home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every guest feels safe, relaxed, and loved throughout their stay. I only accept fully house-trained dogs.
“Jordy did an amazing job watching my dog, Shadow, on the 4th of July! They took incredible care of him and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable during the holiday. Jordy was highly communicative throughout the day and sent great photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. I will absolutely look to hire him again in the future. Highly recommend Jordy to anyone looking for a fantastic, attentive pet sitter!”
“Jacquelyn was the best! Amazing yard and location, and she went above and beyond to make our pup feel comfortable. She also sent lots of picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

“Harleny was accompanying to a change in our pickup time, which was extremely helpful and much appreciated. She sent pictures and updates everyday. She gave Henry extra attention and lots of love. He had a great time. I will definitely be using Harleny again.”
“Best ever! From the second they met my pups they were so sweet and kind to them. She sent videos and pics and you could tell they were comfortable and loved on the whole week! I could not recommend her and her fiancée more! Will definitely be rebooking!!!!!!!”
“Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”
About: Hi, I’m AnnMarie! I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, but really started understanding the love and care they need when I got my first cat and first dog at 7 years old. I grew up with Labrador retrievers, a blue front Amazon parrot, cats, frogs, fish, hermit crabs, and some others I’m definitely forgetting as I write this. I currently have a dog named Maple, a spunky, confident, and affectionate 1.5 year old corgi who would love a few more friends like your dog or cat! She grew up in a home with a ton of other dogs and cats and is always up for playdates and sleepovers. I’m capable of providing whatever your animal needs - a long (or short) walk, playtime, snuggles on the couch, meals, and commands/trick reinforcement. I also have experience administering medications to dogs and cats, including eye drops, and can manage other normally challenging health conditions or issues. I currently work full time but have availability in the evenings (usually after 6pm) on weekdays for drop in visits or walks, and most weekends are completely free for boarding, day care, drop ins, or walks! I frequently update my calendar to give clients the best idea of my availability. If you don’t see something/the dates you’re looking for, please reach out and we can discuss. I have an extremely friendly dog to keep yours company, but if the preference would be separation between yours and mine, that works perfectly fine too! I have a spacious home with multiple bedrooms and a large backyard, though it isn’t completely fenced just yet! I’m also a short drive from a huge park, where I frequently walk my dog, otherwise I keep walks local.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Colonia is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colonia
Kristen was excellent. She kept me updated with texts and pictures the entire weekend she had my baby. She took very good care of her. I could tell when I got her back that she was very looked after. This was my first time using a sitter for my fur baby and I had a great experience. I will be booking Kristen in the future whenever I need a cat sitter again.
Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.
Michael did an amazing job watching Doodle! You could tell he genuinely adores dogs, lots of toys, a comfy bed, and he even took her on some fun outings while I was gone. Doodle had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend him if you want someone who treats your pup like family!
Sharisbel was so patient with my Louis. She even has a dog of her own and they got along so good. Louis did get emotional because he missed us but Sharisbel was very patient, made sure she walked him played with him and showed him love. We will definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you soooo much. You are the best!
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! ❤️🐾
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
Kexin came through during holiday period when no other sitter was available. She not only was available but she offered a very reasonable rate. She took good care of my cats also. She showcased professionalism throughout the stay keeping us posted. She genuinely cares for pets. She is definitely someone I would book with.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.
