I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
“Great place for our dog to stay when we can't take her with us on vacation. Vickie provides great communication and updates on the stay. She spends a lot of time and effort to get to know your pet. Will definitely use their services again. Thanks for everything.”
“Nantikan was great with our dog Anna, who had a blast playing with all of the other dogs. Communication was always very quick and polite. I highly recommend if you want to be certain your pet will be loved just like you love them at home.”
“What a great experience with my first time using a dog sitter for my very laid back dog, Lucy! The family listened and understood exactly what Lucy needed to have a great time! She absolutely loved this family, & so did I. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed about leaving her in their care! We have already scheduled the next visit!”
“I highly recommend Christine for her services. My older dog was well taken care of in her home and got lots of attention and care. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and ai will continue to use her services.”
“Samantha was great. Very attentive to our dog and his needs and provided regular updates. Her dog cocoa was also very sweet. Would recommend to anyone in the area”
“Our fur baby, Kiri, loves staying with Kathleen and her family. We joke all the time that Kiri goes on vacation whenever we do! Kiri is always happy whenever we drop her off and we can tell that she has such a blast and is so loved on whenever she stays with Kathleen. My partner and I always look forward to the daily updates of Kiri's adventures and new doggo friends! It gives us piece of mind to know that Kiri is so well taken care of while we are away.”
“I couldn’t even possibly describe all my happiness in one post. They are the most phenomenal sitters! This was my first time using rover and they were so kind and described the process. From the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up all with ease. They sent so many pics!! And it truly put me to ease. They made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with family instead. I will definitely be working with them in the future without a doubt! And we love their dog Neo and their wonderful family!! The thought you put into taking care of them was just amazing!!!”
“Rebecca is absolutely amazing. I left her with my cat for 8 days for the first time and I was able to go on vacation without any worries. She took such great care of him and he loved it. I would use her again in a heartbeat, 100% recommended!”
“Melissa and Dan were great with our 8 month old golden retriever, Ginger. We were completely comfortable after our meeting. Ginger seemed happy and well taken care of. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I plan to leave our dog in their capable hands again and I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care for their pet.”
“Mónica did a great job watching our elderly greyhound. A lot of updates and photos while we were away allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing our old girl was in good hands. Mónica has a great yard and home set up for dog care, and her family really loves dogs. Very happy with the care our dog received.”
“Bri took very good care of Crunchie. He had a lot of fun playing with other dogs and came home very happy. Bri is very communicative and sent us photos and videos throughout the day. Would definitely have her watch Crunchie again!!”
“Leanne and Mark were awesome to work with. I was super nervous about leaving Ezra with a new pet-sitter, but they were incredible with him. Our dog played so well with their well-behaved dog - Astro - and didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up! I received pictures to let me know he was doing well, and it really eased my worry. I know that our dog got the attention and exercise that I was looking for with a pet-sitter. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsive and caring pet-sitter for their furry family member :)”
“Elias and family were so great! They sent so many photos and messages updating us on how our Comet was doing. We just moved to this town and will for sure be using them again!”
“Chandar was absolutely fantastic. This was our first experience leaving our dog, and Chandar did everything we asked plus more. He gave us updates twice a day and photos of our dog throughout the day. From the photos and the feedback from Chandar, you know that your dog feels at home, calm and cared for. Our dog ate, slept well and got walked twice a day. Chandar went above and beyond in every element possible. Thanks Chandar we look forward to traveling again in the future with a stay again with you.”
“Casey loves Catherine and it’s so nice knowing she’s happy and in good hands when staying there. I appreciated the updates and know Casey enjoyed her stay. We had some issues with her foot prior to our visit and Catherine was great to accommodate what we needed for her. She’s quick to respond and flexible; which is much appreciated. We would highly recommend Catherine!!”
“Lauren was awesome. She took care of my rescue Rambo while I was away with my family and he loved his stay. Upon meeting her she clearly showed her professionalism from beginning to end. I could tell she has a sincere passion for dogs. She was very responsive through text message and I felt very comfortable and confident leaving him with her. I would most definitely recommend Lauren as a sitter to anybody.”
“Monica had our 4 month old puppy overnight for the second time. She’s wonderful. It was our wedding and with all the hustle of the day we forgot his food. She offered to feed him with no problems. He always comes home clean and happy. We will definitely be using her for our Goose many more times in the future.”
“I had a great experience with Ivelisse! She took excellent care of my dog and made me feel at ease while I was away. She was very responsive to communication and always quick to reply to any questions or check-ins. I especially appreciated the regular updates, including texts and pictures.”

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 Cookstown 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 Cookstown 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 Cookstown.
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 Cookstown. On Rover:
- 87% 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 Cookstown 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.
