“I am so appreciative of Katherine puppy sitting our fur baby for a last minute booking. She is so professional and accommodating and caring. She provided pictures and videos. She followed our feeding schedule and was understanding about our puppy not being house trained and us needing additional time for the pickup. I would definitely recommend her and I will be calling her again.”
About: If you are new to Rover use the discount code https://www.rover.com/sit/rhi31973 I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“Last week we tried half day care at Mike’s home for the first time. My 1 year old puppy had a good time with him, his poms and his girlfriend’s dog. He has a nice fenced backyard where dogs can run and play. He remembered the notes I said about my puppy and made sure to follow it. He was also thoughtful and cleaned my puppy’s paws when they got dirty from the yard playing, he even combed him without me telling it. My puppy’s fur was soft and he smelled nice when I picked him up. Mike’s rates are reasonable too. My puppy loves other dogs and people so I will be sending him again to Mike’s home. I would highly recommend Mike for anyone’s pets care needs!”
“Jesus was very communicative and provided great updates throughout the day, both days Zeus was with him. Zeus loved playing in the backyard and always came home tired and happy!”
“The best! She does a great job and our dogs had such a wonderful time. Their excitement was our confirmation. She’s great and has a very sweet and kind persona. We will absolutely book her again! Thank you Jocelyn.”
“Honestly I am super satisfied and very happy with the care my pups received from Rocio. She kept me updated throughout the day with my pups, played with them, walked them, fed them, and loved them as if they were her own. The pups definitely enjoyed the care Rocio gave them and they even smelled good when I got them! Rocio was very understanding and flexible with what I needed in terms of schedule. I also love the fact that she has other dogs for my dogs to be exposed and got along so well with my pups. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was young, helping friends and family with walks, feeding, and playtime. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I have experience with puppies, active dogs, and senior pets who need a little extra care. Every furry friend gets the same love and attention I give my own! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits on weekday afternoons (after 2pm) and Saturdays. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and give your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

“Chloe was super communicative and kind, benji enjoyed his time under her care and she was patient with him and his puppy antics. She also accommodated our request to care for him last minute + same day adjustment to add an extra hour. I’m definitely booking w/ Chloe for future sitting!”
About: I provide a home away from home, pet sitting service. I have experience with various animals for over 25 years, which includes dogs, cats, and birds. Dog births, as well as puppy care, Your pets happiness and safety, are my top priorities. I’m currently working a part time schedule. I have plenty of time to provide tender loving care when you’re not there. I treat them as my own, and that comes from a genuine place. I don’t own any pets at this time, and I do not have any small children in the house. All my attention will be on the pet that’s in my care whether care is taking place at my home or clients home.
“I had such a wonderful experience with Corey and Stephanie! They took amazing care of my dog and truly treated her like she was one of their own. They kept me updated multiple times throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was safe, happy, and being well cared for. I especially appreciated how attentive they were to her comfort around the other dogs at daycare. They made sure she felt safe and even took the time to walk her separately so she could have some one-on-one attention. That really showed me how much they genuinely care about each dog and their individual needs. Corey and Stephanie are incredibly kind, friendly, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in their care, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own! 🐾❤️”
“This is Kudo’s second time staying with Susan. He looks chilled and comfortable at the place. Susan is very responsive to my questions and sends plenty pictures, which I absolutely love to see throughout the day. These are all the reasons why I chose Susan even though her place isn’t the closest to me. I can trust that she takes good care of Kudo as I go onto my busy day.”

“It’s Cub’s second time under Catherine’s care (and Cashew’s company). Even in brick weather, she takes the dogs for walks — which they love. Catherine is accommodating and makes sure the needs of both the fur parents and fur babies are taken care of. Thanks for the apples, too! Til next time. :)”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Demarest commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
