About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“We were so happy to have found Jess. We were apprehensive in leaving our fur baby but she set was able to ease our minds. She followed our care instructions to a tee and sent us updates and pictures throughout the visit. This really helped us to see and know she was taking just as good of care as we would. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”

“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”

“We left our dog with Evelyn for 2 nights for our wedding- he has never stayed with anyone before so we were worried he’d be stressed but after dropping him off we knew we made the right choice with Evelyn! She sent us so many pictures and videos of him enjoying play time and walks. He wasn’t even anxious when we came back to get him. We will be using her again for sure and recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pup!”
“Michael was a total professional. He took great care of my 3-year-old dog during an extended stay and was consistently responsive with texts and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also very flexible and accommodating with pick-ups and drop-offs. I could tell my dog had a great time relaxing on their couch and felt right at home.”
“Friendly, pleasant, dedicated and very caring provider. Chulmin and Hoyjin took exceptional care of my 16-years old senior dog with such kindness and dedication. The communication was excellent and provided the updates that gave us peace of mind while we are away. It’s clear that they truly care about the well-being of the dogs they look after. Highly recommended!”

Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”

They were incredibly flexible with pickup and dropoff times and responded quickly to my initial inquiries about booking. Their communication was exceptional, and they sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day, keeping me updated on Kash’s wellbeing. I could tell how happy she was to be there as she received consistent attention and playtime which is essential for her energetic nature. If you’re looking for reliable, consistent, and caring sitters, I highly recommend contacting Moonyoung and Sunhyung! I’ll definitely be using them for all my future sitting needs”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Rutherford
We had a wonderful experience! From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in his care. He kept us updated, let us know he was settling in well, and it was so reassuring to hear he was hanging out with the other dogs and doing great. You can tell Enis genuinely care about the dogs he look after. We really appreciated the updates, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!
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!!!
I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.
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!
Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.
We cannot say enough amazing things about Katya! We have a rescue dog who was previously abused and is extremely anxious — especially around new people. As you can imagine, we were just as anxious leaving her for the first time. Katya went above and beyond to make all of us feel comfortable. She sent multiple updates and pictures every single day, which really eased our minds. It was clear from the photos that our girl felt safe and cared for. She took her on lots of walks, was patient with her anxiety, and made sure she received her medication exactly as instructed. That level of attentiveness meant everything to us. If you have a nervous or special-needs pup, Katya is someone you can absolutely trust. We are so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again!
I had a great experience and felt very comfortable boarding Eevee with Endre. He sent photos and videos everyday, and it was clear that she was well cared for. Over the weekend, there was also a snowstorm and still he brought her out for walks and to enjoy playing in the snow! I really appreciate the extra effort and attentiveness, especially given the tough weather. Thank you!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Rutherford on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 14,381 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Rutherford. About 88% of East Rutherford 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
