“Manuel was so kind and quick to respond! He was attentive in our care requests and sent several updates and pictures throughout our trip. I will be certain to reach back out to him in the future!”

“We recently moved to the area and we’re so glad we found Melanie to take care of our 15 year old Maltipoo Peanut. She gave us several updates and pictures during her stay. I would definitely recommend Melanie!”

“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.”

“Ivette & Gonzalo were awesome! This was my first time boarding my dog through the app, and they helped me with all of my questions, were super responsive and kind, sent me photos and updates, and provided an overall great experience!”

“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!”

“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.”


“This was our first time using Rover, and we honestly couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding Natasha! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish - incredibly professional, caring, and communicative. She kept us updated throughout our dog Clark’s stay with regular messages and plenty of adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Clark is a Cavapoo who requires a lot of attention, love, and affection, and it was immediately clear when we picked him up that he had been spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved his time with Natasha! We will 100% be using Natasha for all of our future boarding needs. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog, we highly recommend her. 10/10, we couldn’t be happier!”

“First Impressions Boarding my dog, Lilly, with someone outside the family for the first time made me a little nervous. My granddaughter, who had used Rover before, helped me submit the application and choose a sitter. Even on the way to drop Lilly off, I still felt apprehensive, but that quickly changed when Teresa gave us such a warm welcome and Lilly and I were greeted by Teresa’s three friendly dogs. Although Lilly seemed a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon relaxed after playing in Teresa’s large backyard, and I felt comfortable leaving her there. Updates During Her Stay Teresa reassured me that Lilly would be well cared for and promised to keep me updated. She followed through by sending photos and notes about how Lilly was sleeping, eating, and taking her medicine, which I really appreciated. Pickup and Overall Experience When I picked Lilly up, Teresa told me what a joy she had been to care for. She said Lilly was very sweet, that her daughter had fallen in love with her, and even one of her dogs had taken a liking to her. Teresa also said Lilly would be welcome back anytime. I left feeling grateful for the care Lilly received and would happily trust Teresa with her again.”

“Grace was amazing! I left my dog with her for 10 days and she took very good care of him. She kept me updated, and sent pictures and videos so I would not miss him too much. She is very responsive. I would absolutely leave Chico with her again He was very happy when he came back home, he definitely had a good time :)”

“Val is a fantastic reliable dog sitter and took great care of our French bulldog over a long weekend. He was well cared for and she sent us multiple updates throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend anyone else to use her and we are looking forward to booking her again!”


“Tammy and Tony are amazing! From the initial "meet & greet," to drop-off, during our pup's stay, all the way to pickup - they are a warm, dog-loving couple who will treat your dog like one of the family. We received frequent photo/text updates, and it was obvious that he was in good hands. I would strongly recommend them to anyone. You can enjoy your trip, and your dog will be happy too.”


“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!”


“Kate and her family were amazing with our fluffy boy. They treated him like a member of the family while we were on vacation. We were away for 10 days and Kate kept us posted with daily photos of Kofi. Our flight back was delayed due to a blizzard. Kate and her family were so accommodating in extending his stay on such short notice. We felt at ease knowing that our Kofi was in good hands and loved!”


“I am very thankful and appreciative for your care and love for my dog. I really enjoyed receiving photos and update while I was away, that really eased my mind. I highly recommend !”

“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”

“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!”
“Janise and her family took the absolute BEST care of my Daisy! From the moment she arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. Daisy had so much fun that she didn’t even want to leave! She especially loved spending time with Frankie, their incredibly sweet and gentle Bernedoodle, and I know Daisy will miss him so much! I also can’t thank Janise and her family enough for being so accommodating when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day of boarding at the last minute. They were incredibly kind and flexible, and throughout the entire stay, day and night, I knew Daisy was safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for my girl. I’m so grateful and would recommend Janise and her family to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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.

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.
