“Nicole took great care of our large dog. She gave of us detailed instructions of what to expect before our dog’s stay, sent daily pictures, and was flexible with our scheduled pickup time. Highly recommend Nicole for dog boarding.”
“This is our second time using Connor. When we went to drop Fiona off she pulled us to the door. We were updated with pictures, and upon picking her up she was affectionate and happy. Highly recommend and would use Connor again!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have had both dogs and cats for over 25 years. My husband, James, also grew up with dogs and has been around them his whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of both of our lives! I’m the primary sitter and handle all bookings, but James occasionally joins me for walks and visits, which can be especially helpful for households with multiple dogs. We’ve both been around pets with all different personalities, sizes, and routines, and we currently have two cats of our own. One is on a prescription diet, so I’m very comfortable following specific feeding instructions and routines. We know how important it is to feel comfortable with who’s caring for your pets, and we always want them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, aside from occasional in-office days and work travel, which gives me flexibility for morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend visits. I keep my availability up to date and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and be in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a recap after each visit so you know how everything went.
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.
“My boy is always happy to come stay with Lisa and the family. As soon as we get to the house he forgets me because he enjoys his time with them. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him.”
About: I’m a patient, organized, and gentle person when it comes to pets. I’m detailed oriented and cleanliness is a big part of my nature to ensure a neat environment and safety is ensured for all pets and others. Pet care fits into my routine due to my high energy and love for physical activity whether it be playing with pets or going for long walks. Exercise is important to me so walking with my own dog helps each other out greatly. I care for all pets similar to my own dog with gentleness to ensure safety and the well-being of their health. I spend most of my free time caring for my dog when I have the availability aside from work and school.
“We were worried about leaving our spicy kitty with someone while we went away for vacation as sometimes he can be a little mean. Boy were we wrong!! Jennifer is one of the kindest people we have met who had so much love and patience for our kitty. Our cat Smokey was so calm and happy with her.. it was obvious that he felt so comfortable and at home with Jennifer. She sent us multiple videos during his stay and always updated us on how he was doing and making sure we knew how much she loved our baby. He was in great hands!! We are eternally grateful and blessed to have found Jennifer and without a doubt will be bringing Smokey back whenever we need a petsitter. Thank you Jennifer!!!!! ♥️”
“My dog was in good hands with Ahmad. He made sure to play with my dog and ensure that he felt at home during his stay. Would definitely book again and my dog would agree.”
“Lucinda and her husband took excellent care of our dog. Their small beagle is very sweet and had no issues with my dog as well. Lucinda sent us photos almost everyday and even printed out some photos of our dog for us. Would highly recommend Lucinda’s services and would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly 15 years. Since very young I’ve always had love for dogs. I have a 15 year old dog that’s partially blind and deaf that I take extra care of. I’m also a full time nanny for a 1 year old girl and I watch their family senior dog. I make sure he goes out for walks, change his diaper, clean up any accidents and of course give him treats and cuddles. 🥰 I’m currently a full time nanny who works 8-5 or 5:40. I do check-ins throughout the day during my full time job and my spouse gets home earlier so they’ll be able to help out until i get home. After work I’ll be available to care for your pet in the evenings and have them stay overnight. I’m also available on Tuesday after 12 pm. On the weekends I can commit to a full day as needed. I make sure they have their meals on time, take them out for walks. If they’re senior dogs I’ll change diapers, clean up any accidents and make sure they’re comfortable. Any medication I’ll make sure they take them too!
“Bailee took a really, really good care of our older lady dachshund. Bailee kept our agreement on care, she was attentive. Our doggie was not stressed when I picked her up. It is so nice that Bailee boards only one dog at a time. Also, she responds promptly to messages. We truly appreciate Bailee's dog-loving heart. THANK YOU, BAILEE!”
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“Tiara was amazing with Bucket while we were traveling! She sent daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated and looked forward to every day. Bucket needed a little time to settle in, but Tiara made a few thoughtful accommodations for him and he became so comfortable there. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. The sweetest touch was the goodie bag Tiara sent Bucket home with, full of fun toys, treats, and even custom accessories. Such a thoughtful surprise! Thank you, Tiara, for taking such good care of my big baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn and very loving couple and took great care of Lucy twice. They welcomed her into their home like their own dog and sent us pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
“Jeff was amazing with our German Shepherd, Yuki, today! Yuki had an incredible time playing with Bailey, his Bernese Mountain Dog, and Jeff kept us updated all day with pictures and videos. We’re so glad to have a trusted go-to pet sitter right here in town now. Thank you so much, Jeff!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fanwood
We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for Piper during her recovery from major surgery. Leaving her for four nights was nerve-wracking, but Na made it easy from the start. Piper ate wholesome, nourishing meals the whole time, and Na even treated her to organic goodies after asking us for permission. We got multiple photos and updates every day, so we always knew how she was doing. We were not worried at all because we knew she was in the very best hands. Most of all, you could tell Piper was showered with love. She came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. Na was attentive, kind, and communicative, which is exactly what you want when your dog is healing. We're so grateful and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!
Michelle was so great with our dog Benji, we’ve already had 2 stays with her! Communication and pickup/drop off were all a breeze. We always prefer to leave our dog in a home rather than boarding, and Michelle and her family have the perfect home to share with furry family! We will definitely rebook the next time we go away.
Celeste took incredible care of our 12-year-old pup while we were away. Our dog is naturally very anxious, but Celeste was so sweet, calm, and patient that our dog warmed up right away. The updates and photos kept us reassured the whole time. If you have a dog who needs extra tenderness, Celeste is the person to call!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Amarilis was kind, responsible, and attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Tyson was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Tyson. I would definitely recommend Amarilis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
My dog loves boarding here! He’s stayed twice and both times came home happy and well loved. I received plenty of photo updates throughout his stay and always knew he was being well taken care of. He needs pills with his meals and that was never a problem. My dog can’t wait to go back!
Rosary was so great with our 5 year old dog, Allen. He’s a rescue and is hesitant with new people, but Rosary was extra gentle and loving with him. She even cooked him meals daily without me asking! I think our dog was actually sad to come home! We will definitely book again and highly recommend.
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.

There are 13,849 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fanwood. About 87% of Fanwood 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
