“Easy 6 out of 5. Jaimie is an excellent sitter, she made sure my pup was happy, active, and comfortable... what more can you ask for with your best fuzzy buddy.

“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!”
“First time using this app and Cristian was the Best! Took great care of my puppy, walked her a few times a day, showed enthusiasm with her, and sent me photos and updates daily.

“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.

Very happy with Foxy first visit. Just as anyone, I was concerned leaving my dog in a new home, specially mine that is a bit scared of things and people. Charlene was very helpful explaining how things were going, how the adaptation was evolving, sending pictures and notes. Overall, extremely happy and I will leave my dog with her for another 2 weeks, which should speak by itself.

I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pet was in the best hands. The constant updates, along with so many adorable photos and videos, gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. It was obvious that our pet was treated like family—with so much love, patience, and attention. The level of care and communication truly went above and beyond our expectations. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet, which says everything about the wonderful care they received. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and incredibly thoughtful, look no further. We highly recommend them and will absolutely be booking again in the future. Thank you for everything!

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.

There are 12,369 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.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
