“Grace was amazing with Joey! He was clearly happy and well cared for. We loved receiving lots of photos and videos of him having a great time. We also had to unexpectedly extend our booking, and Grace was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We’re very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her!”
“Highly recommend Manny! He’s responsive, communicative, and very nice. He’s responsible, and my dogs really took to him. He was also able to extend my dogs’ stay last minute with no issue, and it sounds like they got a lot of walks and were cared for well! He’s working on getting a fence for his yard, so I do think my very active dogs missed doing regular zoomies, but when he does get a fence, it will be a very idea setup.”
“I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”
“Had the pleasure of booking my cat's (Barbie) stay with Jia C. for the first time. Jia was amazing, kind and her care was beyond exceptional. We really appreciated how Jia made sure to send us updates on how Barbie was doing, and was prompt with her responses. She was even accommodating and flexible to our needs. Jia allowed us to have a stress free vacation, knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much and we hope to book her again sometime in the future. 😊”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Natasha! Communication around drop-off and pick-up was seamless and easy. Most importantly, we really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with Sophie. It was clear that Sophie was in good hands and well cared for. We would absolutely rebook with her in the future without hesitation!”
“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Lindsey is a very responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Mango like a member of her own family and made sure he was happy, healthy, and well cared for throughout his stay. She took care of all his daily needs and responsibilities with great attention and love. I believe Mango will miss her family when he goes home, and I’m sure he will be looking forward to seeing them and reconnecting with them again next time!”
“We were happy to have found Tracy and Steven on Rover. They were good communicators and shared fun updates while they took care of our dog. If your dog is playful and enjoys time with other dogs, this is good choice for your dog.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!”
“Our dog Rudy stayed with Ivette & Gonzalo for a week and he looked happy and stress-free when we picked him up. I’m sure he also enjoyed having another dog to hang out with. I would rebook with Ivette & Gonzalo without hesitation.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our little boy!! He was so comfortable with you!! We will definitely have you care for him again when we are in the area! Also, we are very appreciative that you agreed to watch him on such short notice!!”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”

Noemi was an excellent caretaker for Dobby and Winky. She was extremely communicative and expressed any concerns as they arose. I could tell from the pictures that they were having a fun time and were well taken care of. Her apartment was perfect and she had so many fun toys and perches for the kitties.
Najja is amazing! She’s very reliable, trustworthy, and always comes through for me, even when I need someone on short notice. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and I know he’s always well taken care of. I truly appreciate how dependable and accommodating she is. I definitely recommend Najja to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their fur baby!
Maisha was amazing with Bentley! She kept him for five days while I was on vacation and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. Bentley is always so excited to see her and the pups, and he always seems to make new friends while he’s in her care, which I love! I’d choose her each and every time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Ahlaunah was so attentive to Dallas while I was away! She sent regular updates with photos of him and their adventures that day! She made me feel reassured each day that he we well taken care of, also evidenced by the photos of him smiling so big! I’m already booking her again for my next travel for work!
Jennifer is always so lovely with Brooklyn, and we feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such caring hands. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust looking after him. Thank you again for taking such good care of him and for the sweetest gift for Brooklyn! Now he’ll have to come on a tropical trip with us so he can wear his new Hawaiian shirt 😂🌺🐶🌞
Jamin is always a fantastic sitter. He follows instructions, communicates well, and is flexible with our schedule. For this trip, our flight had a few delays and was expected to land late. Jamin was kind enough to drive and drop off Diamond back at our home, which was hugely helpful. As always, couldn’t recommend Jamin enough.
This young lady is caring loving attentive all the good qualities in a sitter she sent me videos of my dog & pictures my dog tail starting wagging when she pet I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with her once I saw this interaction book this young lady she’s outstanding she was also very patient with my dog because my baby is a senior dog and that’s important to me
Breanna and Myah were amazing. They sent me pictures of Dior the entire time they were with her. They were very good to communicate with , they payed good attention to Diors food regimen and even bought her along to the stores with them. Will 100% use them again next time Dior needs a sitter. I was nervous at first leaving my doggy with a stranger but they made the entire experience amazing. 10/10 experience and great communication.
Kayla is absolutely fantastic. She has the sweetest daughter who hung out with our pup a ton, I could tell our dog had an amazing time with Kayla and her fam. Kayla was also wonderful with sending photo updates, our dog was being cuddled in most of the photos! Would 1000% rebook with her and we probably will very soon!! Kayla is amazing.
Leaving our dog for the first time was stressful- but the moment we met Manuel our concerns melted away. He is calm, confident and earned the trust of not only my husband and I, but our dog as well, almost instantly. Manuel was quick to respond to messages, sent photos while our dog was in his care and made us feel at ease. We are so grateful to have found someone who gave our pup love while we were traveling. Our dog didn’t want to leave him! We will def use Manuel again to watch our beloved family member!
This was our second time leaving Nipsey & Rosie with Lindsey, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! Lindsey and her family take such wonderful care of our dogs and treat them with so much love and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We’re truly so thankful we found Lindsey and couldn’t recommend her enough! Nipsey & Rosie are always so happy and well cared for when they’re with her.
If I could give 10 stars I would. She was incredibly caring, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the stay with tons of pictures, which gave me such peace of mind as I’ve only ever let Henry stay with my parents. It was clear how much love and attention she gave Henry. I give her my highest recommendation and will absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️
Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
