“We send Raffi to Beth’s for Winter Camp. Raffi loved it there, he found a twin sister, got tons of love, treats and fun. Raffi is a loving dog, but sometimes a drama king when he wants attention. He got all the attention and affection he wanted during Winter Camp. Beth was great, very communicative and she sent us pictures, messages and videos every day, which we highly appreciated. Thank you for everything, Beth!”
“This was our baby’s second time with Rebecca. When we arrived he recognized where we were and was so excited he was yipping and his tail was wagging so hard his little butt was moving with it! Knowing how much he loves his vacation spot makes it so much easier to enjoy our own!!”

“Raelyn was wonderful! She picked up and dropped Max off which was incredibly helpful for us with conflicting job schedules and three kids. That added service made our night away possible. She also is so quick to respond and provides info and photos while she watches your fur baby. Max seemed so relaxed in the photos and he came home happy. We had a poor prior experience with a different Rover sitter and he came home shaking. I totally trust Raelyn and will gladly use her again.”

“Kristen was a wonderful dog sitter. Our 15 year old gal was well cared for. We received daily text and photo updates during her stay. We will definitely use Kristen again and highly recommend her to you!”

“Ryan was very communicative throughout the whole stay, he sent photos and videos, and my dog had so much fun! definitely recommend. it’s hard leaving your dogs and especially if you don’t always have many options of people you know personally to watch them, so when you come across someone with a dog to play with yours, a big yard, and keeps you in the loop it’s definitely a win.”


“Alison is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided so many pictures and updates- I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for an extended trip. She took excellent care of her.”

“Aubrey is the first person that I will ask next time I need a sitter. She is professional: very responsive, very communicative (pictures and daily narrative), flexible, sensible and accommodating (kept guest dogs separated, minimizing risks with someone else’s bébé), honest, cautious, and just a pleasure to know. Invited us over for a meet and greet, setting me at ease knowing the environment that my boy would be in. Even though I know my dog enjoyed the yard and host pup, Ollie, Aubrey still took the boys on walks and outings. I also appreciate that she respects my older dog’s love of air conditioning and naps! All I needed to supply was food and leash. Seeing the pictures of my guy relaxing in a calm, cool, clean environment really helped me to relax and savor my time away. Thanks again, Aubrey!”


“Sarah is an expert on taking care of dogs. Although my dog, Boomer, is a rescue dog and has fear of strangers, he loved her and had a great time at her house with her family. He especially loved Sarah's young daughter. Sarah updated me with texts and photos how Boomer is doing. I'll definitely board my dog with Sarah again in the future.”

“Eileen is so amazing! Super prompt during drop off & pick up. Royal had such a good time & got a bath before coming home. He’s been sleep since we got in the house lol”

“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”

“Jenny and her husband were great! At first I was nervous to leave my puppy but after seeing how much fun she was having I was nervous she wouldn’t want to come home! Thanks again!”

“We had such a great experience! Pumpkin was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We received lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great from start to finish, and it was obvious they treated Pumpkin like one of their own. We would absolutely trust them with her again and highly recommend them! ♥️”

About: We have had dogs for more than 50 years, we miss the companionship of our 2 great Pyrenees that we had for 15 years. We have a fenced in yard and a 1 story house that is well suited for dogs on a rural and wooded property. I enjoy taking dogs for walks too, we have a sports complex close by that gives the dogs a 1 1/2 mile trip. We are both retired, I volunteer at a Christian camp several days a week, my wife is home every day. We are available every day of the week. The dogs can be outside as long as they want or be inside if that is their preference. Walks would be morning and or evening. We have an extra large dog crate if your dog prefers being in a crate in the evening.
“If I could give her 10 stars I would. I am very hesitant of who I leave my dog with. Roxann made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety. My dog is on antibiotics and she had so problem at all giving her her meds and making sure she was happy. She would update me multiple times a day and send pictures. My dog is house broken but idk why she had an accident in the house and I as an owner was so embarrassed but Roxann did not make me feel bad about it at all. I would recommend her to anyone. I have used this app twice before and never left a review and never felt like my dog was being treated just the way I treat her, but she was! I am definitely going to use her again! Thanks Roxann!”


“Words cannot express the appreciation of how Kelsey and Conor took care of Gracie. I was so nervous about leaving her, since this was the first time leaving her and going on vacation. They sent a lot of updates and pictures! This put me at ease so I could enjoy my family vacation. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their dog stay with them!! Gracie really loved staying there and I think she really misses being with them and their dogs! If I need to leave Gracie again it will definitely be with Kelsey and Conor!! Thank you both for looking after my baby and taking such great care of her!!!!!”

“Juliana was truly a godsend, I can’t imagine leaving Milton with anyone else, she took amazing care of him, sent us photos and updates everyday and truly made it feel like he was staying with extended family ❤️ she treated him like one of her own dogs and we will absolutely be using her for all of our future trips!”

“Since this was a new location and person for Louie, I was a little apprehensive. After meeting Adrienne and her daughter, I knew he would be fine. They loved him and he even played with one of their dogs. I won't hesitate to use her again!”

“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”

“5 stars! Rita went above and beyond for our 14 year old Louis. She is very reliable, responsive, gives good updates and is very caring with her animal guests. We will definititely ask for Rita again!!!”
“Carismeldi was professional, accommodating and provided great care. The updates and pictures allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away - knowing our dogs were well cared for. When were were running late, she was very nice. We would definitely use her again”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Elmer can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmer home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Elmer.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Elmer sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
