“This was our first time using Karina and her family to watch our little guy so I was a little apprehensive but I needn't have been. During our meet & greet they just gushed over him. Karina and especially her daughter took such great care of Teddy when we were away. Though he was happy to see us when we returned I don't think he wanted to leave them! I received lots of pictures and updates and I knew he was in good hands. They're great, truly love dogs and I highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“Dilan was the best dog sitter I have ever hired. My dog was well taken care of. She exercised her twice a day and sent me videos and pictures while I was away. My dog appeared to be very happy…which made me very happy. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care Dilan provided for my baby! Thank you!”
“Monica was wonderful with Bailey during her week long stay. She was treated like one of the family! We also enjoyed receiving the photos so we knew she was in good hands. We would definitely use Monica again.”
“Amarilis was easy to connect with, punctual and a great help with my dog. I booked a last minute request and she was able to accommodate me by taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She followed his routine and it allowed for the stay to go smoothly. I recommend using Amarilis and I will be booking with her more often.”
“An absolutely wonderful experience! Leo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. The communication was excellent, with updates and pictures that made us at ease. We truly appreciate the love and attention given to Leo. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laxmi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person and a place 😊”
“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 and her family were awesome with our beagle, Buster! He had a great time and clearly enjoyed spending the long weekend. We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need a rover for Buster!”
“We had a wonderful experience with KAJAL D. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave us peace of mind while leaving our dog in their care. They were reliable, attentive, and made sure to follow all of our instructions perfectly. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed the extra attention. We also appreciated the regular video call, updates and photos—they made us feel connected even while we were away. I would highly recommend KALAL D. to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Honey was very comfortable with Jaimie during his almost 2 week stay. This was his second or third visit here. Jaimie is very responsive and sends regular updates on his food and activities. Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“We felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Gianna was so wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly responsive and gave us daily updates and pictures, and it was so clear that our dog felt right at home with her. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!”

Gianna and Billy took very good care of Maui during my business trip and understood that I needed her to have lots of attention and a lot of love. After all, these are our fur babies. I am very thankful to have found this beautiful couple. They are both kind and responsible and caring.
We had a great experience! They were very responsible, reliable, and communicative throughout our dog’s stay. Our dog got so much attention and love from their whole family, and it was clear he was very well cared for and felt right at home. We really appreciated the updates and felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend them and would happily have them care for our dog again!
Isbath was great! She was organized, experienced, caring, and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our boy, Dante, with her for 9 days. Isbath sent daily photos, so I could see Dante was getting plenty of love and attention. He also got along great with her 3 dogs. I would definitely look to Isbath for future boarding needs!
Max stayed with Ji over the weekend of August 14 and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated throughout our time out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. Ji was also very attentive to Max’s stomach issues and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him!
Dilan was the best dog sitter I have ever hired. My dog was well taken care of. She exercised her twice a day and sent me videos and pictures while I was away. My dog appeared to be very happy…which made me very happy. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care Dilan provided for my baby! Thank you!
Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.
We had such a great experience with Nikki watching Rudy for the week! She was so sweet, friendly, and super easy to communicate with, which made us feel really comfortable while we were away. Rudy absolutely loved her and seemed so happy and comfortable with her the whole time. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the week, which we loved and really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was getting lots of love and attention while we were gone. We would definitely have her watch Rudy again and highly recommend her!
Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem 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.

There are 12,370 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dunellen. About 88% of Dunellen sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
