“My husband and I recently moved to the area and had to find new sitters for our boy Sonny since we were going on vacation for a few days. THANK GOD we found Kathy & Ben, they were amazing. From the meet and greet all the way to when we picked him up, my husband and I felt that Sonny would be in great hands. They have a beautiful home and know how to make your pup feel at home. They were very responsive and were constantly sending us update and photos/videos. They even gave us a cute little report card about Sonny's stay. When I picked up Sonny, I think he wanted to stay with them haha. We will absolutely be using Kathy and Ben again and we highly recommend that you do as well.”
“Very responsive, kept me updated on my dog’s day to day activities with pictures and videos. My dog is a picky eater and she catered to her needs. Sky will definitely be back!”
“Karla is amazing!! This is the second time we left our dog under her supervision. She sent us updates every morning and evening which is so great. My dog is paralyzed and needs special attention, but she was so amazing with him. You could easily tell that he loves her. Thank you so much Karla for your patience with Fido!!!! You are THE BEST!!!!”
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.

“I can’t recommend Chulmin & Hoyjin enough! They took such amazing care of Cocoa while I was away. Cocoa were happy and clearly well-loved when I returned. Chulmin & Hoyjin kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. I will definitely be booking again in the future!. Please do not hesitate to contact them everytime you have to go away and you have to left your little lovely ones. Thank you again Chulmin & Hoyjin.”

“Anne was great. After the test night, Lola was super comfortable with her. When I dropped Lola off for her stay she walked off with Anne like they were old friends. Anne sent pictures and updates daily and was super flexible on pickup when our flight was delayed 5 hours. Overall, it was a great experience for my first time using Rover.”

Thanks so much for taking care of my dog Funda!”

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.
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!!!
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!

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
