“Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!”
“Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Absolutely the best experience having boarded my precious Maysie was Lisa and her family. Not once was I worried and a lot of that was because of the constant communication and pictures sent to us while we were away. Absolutely will rebook with Lisa as I knew my pup was treated as part of the family!”
“Ronit is GREAT! Let me start with full appreciation of her taking on our last minute request. She’s been so responsive and understanding the whole time. Dawkins had a great time staying with her. She also provided very timely updates during our trip that was just the right frequency to comfort the owner but not disturbing our oversea trip. Cannot recommend her more!”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Tanvi and her family are amazing – very kind, took great care of my dog, and sent lots of photos every day. I highly recommend her and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“Bhavani V is awesome! She took great care and provided daily updates of our fur baby while we were out of town. We highly recommend her to everyone and trust her with all future boarding needs. Thank you so much, Bhavani:)”
“This was a 2 weeks stay, as we were flying abroad. Charlene always gave us updates, sent pictures, said if she ate or not, our dog was clearly taken care of. Picking her up,I was afraid she would not want to come back to our home, as Foxy (our dog) ) was clearly happy and enjoyed the stay. Truly appreciate the dedication”
“Shannon was great at communicating and keeping us updated. We were running behind on drop off and did an early pick up and she was very flexible with our change in schedules. Thank you for all your help!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since 2013, when I welcomed my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dogs and sharing everyday life with them. I now have Cooper, a mixed breed dog who joined our family in August 2025. My experience also includes volunteering for dog walking field trips with St. Hubert's. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I look forward to learning your pet's routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable in my care. I'm usually home Monday through Sunday, so I can offer care on weekdays and weekends. Boarding and day care fit into my home routine, and I can arrange drop-in visits around each pet's needs and my existing bookings. I'll confirm the schedule with you before booking and keep my calendar updated for travel or other changes. I welcome dogs of all ages up to 80 pounds. My current home is a small house on a spacious, unfenced property, so guest dogs will be supervised and kept on leash outdoors, away from our eight free ranging chickens. Cooper, our 53 pound mixed breed dog, is friendly with other dogs and has his own crate. I'll arrange a meet and greet, supervise introductions, and discuss compatibility and any separation needs before accepting a stay. Two children, ages 8 and 11, are with us every other weekend. When they are present during a booking, I will personally supervise them and their interactions with guest dogs. Children and guest dogs will never be left alone together. Please share how your dog behaves around children, other dogs, and birds. For drop-in visits in your home, I'll follow your care instructions and your dog's usual routine, and agree on updates and emergency contacts before the booking.
“Steven is a great dog-sitter! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures to keep me posted on how Dusty is doing throughout the day. Dusty comes home happy and tired from playing with Steven's dogs. We are grateful to have found him!”
“We feel so comfortable knowing that Sadie is loved and in their home setting. She is so happy running around that backyard and playing with her dogs. She was so happy when she got in the car and actually smiled at me. Thank you Dana fair this great experience.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Stephanie is great! Our dog was there for 4-5 days and looked very relaxed, happy, and content. Stephanie gave daily updates, photos, and a detailed sheet on our dog’s activity. Would recommend, Stephanie is very caring!”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Areli took good care of our two Havanese dogs! When I met her she reassured me they would enjoy their stay and they did. She fed them daily, and gave the older dog his meds, and made sure they were safe and happy. She took daily photos and keep me informed. I would definitely reach out to her again. Thank you!”
“Krystsina was great. This was my first time using Rover and I booked last minute but she very reliable! She made me and my dog extremely comfortable. She made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the stay and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog sometimes gets anxious around new faces but she made sure to give him treats, take him outside, and play with him to make sure he felt comfortable with her and her daughter. He looked like he was having a great time. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”

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.
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 Far Hills 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 Far Hills 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 Far Hills.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Far Hills. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Far Hills 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
