“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
“First time making boys stood with Stacia and everything was GREAT! She communicated the entire time and sent pictures of what they were doing throughout their stay. Definitely rebooking! My boys are very spoiled and she spoiled them as well. She is amazing.”
“Penny’s stay with Jessica was everything I could have hoped for. Penny looked so content and at home in Jessica’s place and made a good friend in Butters. Jessica makes everything super easy and is very communicative. I received daily photos and texts. I’m generally nervous about boarding stays but not anymore! We will be booking with Jessica again!”

“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cranford
So incredibly grateful to have found Meghan and Jason. We had a meet up prior to our booking dates and felt more than comfortable to have them take care of our baby Armin. A big plus is that they have one of the best dog parks their community, it’s huge! We received plenty of videos and pictures daily. Armin was even laying upside down in their care, which he only does when he’s extremely comfortable and we have yet to see that with any prior rover experiences. Armin easily gets diarrhea if he has any changes to his food or treats but Meghan and Jason did great with his regimen. We got him back with healthy poops lol. They even accommodated to drop him off at the end of our booking which we desperately needed. I can’t say enough good things about them and am excited to have found a future pet sitter with zero worries 🙂

Kate and her family are wonderful! She watched both of my dogs for a whole week while I was away. She sent pictures of them every day in the morning and the evening. My dogs looked happy and comfortable. Kate is caring and professional. I'm very pleased with her services.
Victor & Lessly are amazing! They are the perfect tag team couple to care for our pup. Our guy is a bit high maintenance with all his drops, medication, food, and FOMO for when we leave him for vacation. Victor & Lessly gave him extra attention and frequent recaps and photos to keep us at ease. We even landed late and had to pick him up the next morning in which they went out of their way to feed him a home cooked meal in which we failed to provide an extra. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
Javier took exceptional care of my fur baby and went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable from the very beginning. It was clear that she was well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates, kindness, and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Griffey seemed so comfortable and happy in his first stay with Tynesha and family! This was his first stay with anybody outside of our family, and we immediately knew he was in great hands from the initial meeting. The regular updates and photos kept us reassured that he was having a great time. We will absolutely be coming back to Tynesha for any future dog sitting needs!

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.
95% of sitters in Cranford 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 Cranford 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 Cranford.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cranford 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.
