“We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!”
“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.”
“Binny and her husband were great with my dog, Benny. She immediately made me feel at ease awhen we first met, and Benny loved her too. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! 🐕 I will definitely leave Benny in their care again.”
“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Maria was fantastic!! She and her family took such great care of Ozzy. He's very anxious at first and scared of new people but within a few hours it looked like he was feeling completely comfortable with them. He looked so happy in all the photos Maria sent us and we felt at peace during our entire trip knowing he was in great hands. Thanks for being so loving with Ozzy, Maria! We hope to let him stay with you again soon!”
“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Chloe was amazing! Seri (dog) really enjoyed her time there. She was able to play with the cat and dog, and I can tell she didn’t want to leave. Don’t know what that says about me lol either way, I highly recommend Chloe for your pet boarding needs!!”
“Eileen was great! She was able to take my reservation for a last minute vacation. She made sure to send me constant updates of my baby. She was attentive and extremely kind. I would definitely recommend!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“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”
“Enis did a great job taking care of our beloved Zero. I was nervous since I’ve never boarded for more than a night. But he sent lots of pictures and responded to my texts very quickly which kept me and my family happy. Everything worked out and I would recommend Enis and would use his services again.”
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.
“Sarah and Danny cared for my baby for a full week while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was nervous to leave for a week, but they made it completely stress-free. From the start, they were warm, friendly, and incredibly detailed—asking all the right questions to put me at ease before traveling. They were also super perceptive, quickly learning Crash’s playtime preferences and making sure he was engaged and happy. Their home is in a great location right by a park, perfect for walks, and they kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the trip. Pickup and drop-off were seamless, and it was clear my little guy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive pet sitters!”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
“Ryan was so kind and attentive to Poppy!! I had issues with my travel and ended up being away longer than I was supposed to and he cooked food for her!”
“Bridget was wonderful. Zuko, my 14-pound Shihpooh, had a happy and relaxed time in her home. I could tell he was comfy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Paola took excellent care of our little dog for a week while we were on vacation . She communicated daily with us and provided photos. Our dog was treated like part of her family. Jazzie came home happy and healthy! Will definitely book with Paola again!”

We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.
Sarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!
Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb
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!
The most amazing sitter ever. I received daily pictures of my sweet girl all day. She was living the dream! My flight was delayed and they were available to keep my Rubi an additional day. It was my first time leaving my sweetie with a sitter and first time using rover but I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely book again if I ever go away for vacation.
Paloma was great! We had our fur baby on her hand for eight nights. Paloma updated everyday how he was doing during our travel with bunch of photos. Our puppy seem to be very happy on her hand. When we picked him up, he seemed to be so sad to be parted with her and refused to leave. He was healthy and happy when he came back home. I will definitely find her again when we have another occasion that we have to leave him behind.
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!
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.

There are 14,388 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.

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.
