“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“The timing of our rescue arriving & out pre-purchased/non-refundable/pet-free vacation couldn’t have been worse: we only had one week with our sweet London before we had to leave her. As such, we spent a LOT of time reading reviews for a sitter who would provide a lot of attention, affection, and consistency. We truly couldn’t have picked a better person than Denise. We explained the pickle we found ourselves in and Denise immediately understood & put our minds at ease. From the first meeting, we could tell Denise loved dogs. She has a great backyard full of toys that our pup adored, and above all, Denise’s kind and gentle demeanor made London right at home. The frequent updates and photos made us certain we made the right choice. They certainly bonded over their week together & we will be sure to use Denise in the future! We recommend Denise 100%.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! First time leaving our Sunny and Katie and John took care of her as if she were their own. Great communication, constant pictures!! Will definitely use again!!”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Kateri took great care of Yeti and he came back after a long weekend exhausted from all of the fun he had! Kateri sent plenty of pictures of Yeti playing throughout the weekend which we really appreciated. We would definitely let Kateri watch Yeti again if we lived in the area!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Adrianna was great. She kept in touch with a handful of photos over the two weeks she was sitting for me and she feel in love with my Chloe. If we need a sitter in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
“Tyler took great care of Tucker while we were spending time with family at the shore. Tucker ran around the yard, swam in the pool and hung out with Tyler's dogs. He was certainly tired at the end of his visit. I would recommend Tyler for others who are looking for a reliable and fun dog sitter.”
“Since this was a new location and person for Louie, I was a little apprehensive. After meeting Adrienne and her daughter, I knew he would be fine. They loved him and he even played with one of their dogs. I won't hesitate to use her again!”
“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!”
“I don’t enjoy leaving my Anna (my doodle) at all. But when I must, I do so with ease and with peace of mind, knowing that Mariah will take great care of her in my place. Thank you Mariah 🙏”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, she made both Murphy and me feel completely at ease. I usually prefer to give Murphy time to acclimate to a new sitter and environment, but Angela stepped in last minute and made it possible for me to keep my vacation plans. To my surprise, Murphy immediately took to her and her home. Everything went so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Angela!”
“Rose has watched our dog a few times now when we go away. We feel so happy to know he is in wonderful and loving hands while we are out of town! Thank you so much, Rose for taking such great care of our Jake!”
“This was our first experience using Rover for our dog Ziggy (70lb pit mix) for 9 days and Jared exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we dropped him off we could tell he was very comfortable with Jared and his family. We received photos and updates daily, giving us peace of mind that he was happy and having a great time. Can’t thank Jared enough! Highly recommend!”
“I’ve boarded Murphy with April and her family 2x and it’s been a great experience. She always keeps me up to date with how he’s doing and he takes very long naps when he gets home - that tells me he had a lot of fun. Murphy is looking forward to his next stay!!!”

“Jen did an amazing job caring for Rio! She kept us informed everyday by sending updates and beautiful pictures of him. Jen took him on walks, the dog park, and lake. She even taught him a new trick. Jen and her husband are both just really great, caring individuals. We were so fortunate to have them watch our doggie. Highly recommend!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dorothy
We were so relieved that we chose Jay and Pam. The videos of our 2 boys running around in their yard showed that they were so happy! They especially liked being outside at night with a campfire. I like that they had a house with enough grass to run and play. They even got along with their dog. They came home clean and happy! We will definitely use them again!
Pam and Jay were great with Gracie. From our initial request, they were responsive and accommodating. Upon returning home, Gracie immediately feel back into her usual routine: sleeping and snoring! Obviously, she was well cared for and recieved lots of attention. We will definitely book with them again. Thanks Pam and Jay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Dorothy home-away-from-home, 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 Dorothy.
<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 Dorothy 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 , 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 .
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.
