“We had a wonderful experience with Rachel and her family. She watched our princess, Demi from June 9th - 13th and sent me pictures and text on a daily basis. She also responded to text in a timely matter. We were so happy that we booked with Rachel again for the end of June. She is very committed and recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“My lab mix named Penny, stayed with Monica and her family for almost two weeks while I was away. Monica sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I felt so comfortable leaving penny with her and will definitely be using Monica again in the future.”
“Lineth did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was clear our cat felt so comfortable and happy with her. Lineth was so thoughtful and attentive that we never had to worry while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ilene is a wonderful pet sitter. Our sweet dog, Zoe, seems to love going and gets outstanding care and attention while with Ilene. On the most recent stay, Ilene administered two different eye drops multiple times each day, a difficult task as I well know since Zoe resists with every bit of her considerable boxer strength! Zoe came back with her eye basically healed. As long as Ilene is available, we use her every time we have to leave Zoe. We have absolutely no reservations in doing so.”
“Lucas and Katherine were phenomenal! They sent videos and pictures the entire time my baby was with them. You could tell they really love dogs and she was so happy to be with them. It was great to know that she was being well cared for and loved.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“We were so happy that we got a chance to leave our Dear Winnie with this super sitter ❤️ Very positive experience , especially that this was a very first time leaving her with anyone . Nasreen is amazing and very caring . Definitely a great choice for you and your pet :) Will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone . Great communication and updates thought-out the whole time Winnie was with her . Overall a great experience 😊”
“Gianna made our first time using Rover a breeze - she was super responsive, sending many photos and videos, and very flexible. Our pup seemed to warm up to her right away. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Jaime provided for our dog, Maggie! This was Maggie’s first time away from home, and since she is very fearful outside of her usual surroundings, we were nervous about how she would adjust. Jaime was incredibly patient and understanding, taking the time to make sure Maggie felt safe and comfortable. She truly cared about Maggie’s well-being, helping her acclimate to a new environment with both people and pets. It was amazing to see Maggie grow to trust Jaime enough to sit and even sleep near her! We are so grateful for Jaime’s kindness and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive pet sitter.”
About: Growing up, my family and I lived on a small farm with tons of animals, including horses, cows, chickens, cats, and of course, little dogs. I was taught from a very young age that any living thing should be respected and treated properly. Puppies and kittens have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Pet care is part of our everyday routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day. We have a fully fenced yard that’s just under half an acre, and my kids and I spend a lot of time outside playing with our pets. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and love every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and always make their safety and comfort a priority.
“Holly and DK were wonderful! Extremely professional and warm. They took great care of our pup while we were gone for the week. Highly recommend their care.”
“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”
“Alice was great. Sparky was so happy with her and comfortable that he almost did not see me when I came to pick him up. Would definitely recommend and we would be working with her again”
“Meet and greet went so well i felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. The overall stay was great, very friendly and caring towards peanut, sent pictures and updates (even bathed him) from the pictures i could see he was very happy, which made our time away from him more easy to enjoy knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Claudia again and highly recommend.”
“Maureen takes exceptional take of our pup. We don’t worry about a thing when he’s with her and her fur babies. He is always so happy there and loves visiting his furry friends.”
“Lori was incredible with our puppy, Frank! He was extremely anxious and challenging this trip, but she handled him with such patience, calmness, and care. It was clear she has a lot of experience and knows how to make dogs feel safe and comfortable. She kept us updated throughout his stay and gave us real peace of mind.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunellen
Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.
Charlene took great care of my Zoey! After a successful daycare session and trial overnight, I was at ease leaving Zoey with her for an extended period. She loves playing in her yard with her dog, Jack! Charlene made sure Zoey was comforted during the fireworks on the 4th and continued monitoring her for any signs of distress. She also tolerated Zoey digging in her garden (sorry!). Zoey loves being there and looks forward to going back! I highly recommend Charlene!!
When we first decided we were going away on vacation we didn't know what to do with Simba, so we were going to not go on our trip. However, we heard about the Roover app and we did our search based off our location. Isbath was the first name who popped up and we decided to go with her especially being close to home as well as hee reviews. Not only Isbath and her family were amazing. Their dogs were not just amazing but when we did our meet & greet it really helped Simba open up. Simba is usually anxious, but when Simba meet Isbath & her family he fit right in with them and automatically played with them and didn't run away. This was our sign to go with them because Simba felt comfortable around them and their dogs made him feel at ease. They also sent pictures and videos to us daily, we just knew he was having a great time away from us. Even my husband felt comfortable leaving Simba and knew he was in great hands. When and if we do go on another vacation, we will definitely be using them again. Thank you again to Isbath & her family.
Gianna and her partner took wonderful care of our boy while we were away! I received lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day—snuggled up on the couch, playing fetch, and thriving on his walks at the park. With Gianna’s knowledge and dedication to pet care, we felt at ease leaving him in their care. They handled his energy, anxiety, and heat sensitivity very well, and he seemed to have a lovely time during his week away home. We would absolutely recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a trusted sitter!
Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.
I truly appreciate Alex and the wonderful care she provided for my pups while I was away. She has watched my younger dog, Mila, before, and Mila is always happy and excited to see her. This time, Alex cared for both Mila and my 14-year-old Yorkie, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Knowing they were well cared for allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away without any worries. I would gladly trust Alex with my dogs again.
. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soham took excellent care of Phoebe and treated her like his own. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even in snowy and very cold weather, he made sure Phoebe got her walks and plenty of playtime, including her favorite game of fetch. Phoebe absolutely enjoyed Rizo’s company and she received so much love and attention throughout her stay. It truly felt like Phoebe had a vacation of her own! We are incredibly grateful to Soham and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter.
Leslie took great care of Finn overnight. He was comfortable with Leslie and her dog when we dropped him off. They had a great time playing and Finn was tired when he got home. Leslie sent pics and kept in touch,which we really appreciated. We were very pleased and will most definitely be asking Leslie again!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
