“Rosemeri was amazing! She took care of our two dogs and cat, and all three of them seemed to have a great time with her. Even our cat, who can be shy, was at ease with Rosemeri the day after dropping her off. Rosemeri was also super flexible when my flight got delayed, so I had to pick up the pets late into the night. I will definitely be leaving my pets with Rosemeri again.”
“Due to some last minute changes, we had to find boarding for our 7 year old pup for 8 nights (!). It was our pups' second time boarding ever (1st time was at an animal hospital and it went terribly). We decided to give boarding a 2nd chance, and our dog was in good hands. Andrew safely and thoughtfully integrated our 20 lb. pup into the existing playgroups, to the point where the little guy made big dog friends! Andrew was clear and concise in his communication and availability. He was also clear and concise in his expectations for our dog and the dogs he cares for, raising the bar for their behaviors. All the videos he sent us had plenty of wagging tails. Our pup came home happy, spunky, and more obedient.”
“Kathy was great. She read up on Maddie’s profile and reviews before the weekend and was prepared with questions to ensure it was a smooth stay. She was communicative and flexible. Maddie seemed very comfortable with her.”
“Jatna and Ruby bonded from the minute they met. Ruby was immediately comfortable in Jatna's home. I could tell from the photos that Jatna sent that she was having a good time and was being well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Jatna in the future.”
“Eleanor was such a fantastic sitter for Preston. I had absolutely no worries while he was there and can tell she really loved and cared for him during his stay. He returned home very happy. We are super lucky to have found her!”
“Adam was great with my cat, Griffin. It was obvious my cat was very happy and well taken care of. I wish that I knew Adam booked multiple animals - both dogs and cats - in his home at a time. That said, the dog he owns, Hermes, is awesome and super friendly; Griffin and Hermes were immediately friends. Adam was also very responsive. Will definitely book with Adam again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our puppy than we got with Wei Han. She took care of our pup like it was her own. More than just taking care of her, she gave our puppy new experiences while we were away. She’s incredibly responsive and sent daily updates making the experience totally stress free.”
“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!”
“Dogs were very well cared for. We received video updates from them daily showing us how our dogs were doing. We will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sal and Troy are absolute legends. We’ve been going to them for a year and a half now and Milo’s always such a happy boy with them. Thanks to them both. Highly recommend :)”
“Susan and her husband do an excellent job of taking care of our pup Luna. When we brought her back for a second visit she was excited to join them again and hang out with there dog Frankie. They are great at communicating whether it just be a check in or asking a question about Luna’s food preferences. They also took lots of pictures and great videos to help us miss Luna less and let us know she was in great hands. We would highly recommend trusting Susan with your dog!”
“John went above and beyond for me and my dog, Andie! Great communication, flexible, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She was so genuinely loved and cared for by John and his family. He even gave her a bath and blow dry. The love is real! I felt completely at ease knowing Andie was in such great hands. I will absolutely be booking with John again. Highest recommendation! ❤️🐾”
“Steven was excellent with our cat Tulip! We chatted beforehand and he was clearly very knowledgeable about cats, and really zeroed in on Tulips preferences and comfort in new environments. Drop-off was a breeze, and Tulip quickly started to explore the apartment. Steven gave updates multiple times per day and shared lots of videos and pictures. He even went out to get more cat food when what we brought was insufficient! Steven was an incredibly experienced, enthusiastic, and respectful caregiver for our cat. We definitely plan on using him again in the future!”
“We could not have been more thrilled with the care our dog received with Marcus and Antonio. He didn’t want to come home! Marcus and Antonio sent daily pics and videos that ensured us that our dog was being well taken care of, and have the best time with them. They were super responsive and accommodating with pick up and drop off as well. We could tell they really cared about our dog and took him in as part of their family, which means a lot. We will definitely be using them for any future stays. Highly recommend!”
“This was our third time leaving Tank with Angie, and it’s safe to say she’s one of his favorite humans. The second he sees her, he lights up and completely forgets about us, which honestly, we love. 🥹 Angie always sends the sweetest photos and videos while we’re away, and it’s so comforting to know he’s not just being cared for, but genuinely thriving. She’s thoughtful, warm, and always makes sure Tank has the best time. Every time we pick him up, he’s recharged, relaxed, and glowing with happiness. Couldn’t ask for more. 💖”
“Anna is the best. She was so patient and kind with my kitty. She made Vienna feel so comfortable and she kept me updated on her stay. Vienna has found her new home away from home ❤️”

Kinjal was amazing with Timmy. This is our first time leaving him with someone other than family so we were a bit worried. After the inital meetup, talking with Kinjal, and seeing where he would be staying, my worries started to fade. During the boarding, Kinjal communicated daily with photo and video updates and frequently asked questions about Timmy in order to provide the best care of him. We will definitely go with Kinjal again. Highly recommended!
Maria took such good care of Zoe! Zoe is a bit of an anxious dog and she took to Maria immediately. I could tell from the pics that Maria sent, that Zoe was calm and happy and very well cared for. We will surely reach out to Maria again to watch Zoe the next time we’re out of town.
Xunze was the best! She took such good care of my kitten and was extremely detailed oriented letting me know how she ate and pooped and acted. She was also super flexible and responsive and helped me navigate using this app. Would highly recommend and would definitely book her again. Thank you Xunze!
Jessica has been absolutely wonderful - she provided great care for our dog while we were away. Our dog is very slow to trust people but Jessica managed to gain his trust almost immediately. She took great care in providing him his medications plus his dietary food, and it was obvious that he had a great time staying with her! Thank you Jessica!
To say Caita was a life saver is putting it lightly. She stepped up and rescued Louie from a very stressful situation. Not only did she drive and pick him up , she treated him like it was her own dog. She went above and beyond what was expected of her and turned a nightmare into a dream . I am beyond grateful for Caita and highly recommend her to anyone !
We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!
Christian and his family were amazing with our 15-year-old Chihuahua, Cocoa. She has some medical needs, and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger for a week. Christian's experience and friendly, calm demeanor put us at ease. He was patient, understanding and gave her time to adjust. He was in regular communication with me throughout the week, and took photos to show how she was doing. She came home happy. We will definitely be in touch with Christian again when we need a sitter. Thanks so much for giving Cocoa a good week, Christian!
Oscar was SO EXCITED to go over to Pete's house - I swear, he figured out what was happening 10 minutes beforehand, and waited by the back door for us to let him out. He flew into the house without so much of a backwards glance. Oscar spent several hours with Pete and when he came back home, he was happy and exhausted!! Little snuggle bug went right to sleep. Thank you for keeping him busy and happy, Pete!!!
This was my first Rover experience and it could not have been better. Ashley sent photos of my dog throughout my trip away, so I was never worried. Ashley was incredible, attentive, and so communicative. I would definitely reccomend this service, as well as Ashley, to anyone!

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 .

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.
