“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“I would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisy’s stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisy’s stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.”
“Loves dogs. Did great with Eddie. We were on vacation and booked a night of boarding so we could go into the city. Figured out what he liked. Great updates throughout the day. Very clean home. I’d board him with her again. Wish she lived closer to us in Ohio.”
“Doris was amazing with my dog. The couple of days that she had him she sent plenty of pics and videos starting as soon as I dropped him off. She always responded to my texts. Will definitely book her over and over.”
“We are so grateful for Ekaterina and family's loving care of our senior dog Gil this summer! I didn't know how he was going to manage so many weeks away from home, but Ekaterina is exceptionally reassuring and capable. She handled his medications and temperament with true care and skill. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you again!”
“Erica is a fantastic sitter!! She made my senior pup Ruby feel comfortable and happy and sent me awesome detailed updates with adorable pics along the way :) Very grateful to have such a reliable, kind and responsible sitter in the area and can’t wait for Ruby to stay with her again soon! Thank you again!!”
“Valerie had a great time staying with Rebecca and family! They sent frequent updates with pics, took her on long walks, and spent a ton of time with her in the backyard. They even gave her a toy to take home that she’s obsessed with! Will definitely be booking again.”
“Lorrie is amazing! She is truly a god send, she was so communicative and understanding with our needs. Kept me up to date on all details with my Zoey and loved her like her own. Will be using from now on. Thank you Lorrie!”
“Janis did an amazing job! Our dog didn't want to leave at the end!🤣 She went above and beyond and did all the optional stuff from our care instructions. I can tell that her home has a great family atmosphere that helped tremendously in making our dog feel not only comfortable but loved! She was very responsive throughout his stay, and helped us feel at ease by sending pictures and detailed messages. We will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again.”
“Katerina was amazing with Bunny! She was communicative and professional. Bunny can be shy to warm up, but she did so quickly with Katerina. I would book Katerina again!”
“She was super nice and kept me updated about our furrbaby n he also loved there and played with other dogs! Will definitely recommend her to others who wants to leave their furbabies in good hands!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this host! They are super nice, kind, and incredibly sweet. I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of GG. Getting photos of her every single day really put my mind at ease while I was away. It's obvious that GG had a fantastic time during her stay. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“Ravon was absolutely amazing with my kitten, Cashmere! As a first-time cat owner, I was naturally nervous about leaving my 15-week-old kitten for an entire week, but Ravon immediately put my mind at ease. She provided daily updates, along with photos and videos, so I always knew how Cashmere was doing. Within just a couple of days, Cashmere had completely settled in. She was comfortable enough to explore, play, and show her curious personality, which told me she felt safe and well cared for. It was clear that Ravon was patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys caring for animals. When I picked Cashmere up, she was healthy, happy, and relaxed. Knowing that my kitten was in such capable hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about her. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I would wholeheartedly trust Ravon to care for Cashmere again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“Alicia was great! Our Maltipoo felt right at home with Alicia during our stay oversees. She’s great with communication and sends frequent updates. She also was able to keep our doggie for an extra day when our flight was delayed. Would def recommend again!”
“I’m thrilled to have found Eroxis. She boarded our dog Phil for a week and it was a fantastic experience. It’s clear she is an animal lover and Phil got great care and lots of love. She was prompt to reply, sent heart-melting photos and made us feel confident. I cannot recommend Eroxis more highly and look forward to having her take care of Phil in the future.”
“Megan was great! We received pictures and updates throughout the trip, and our pugs seemed right at home. The came home happy and pooped from a fun stay. Would book again!”
“Elizabeth is great! Super sweet and friendly. This was our first time using a sitter. None of our usual family members who watch her were available. We previously tried boarding and the amount of dogs was overwhelming for our schnauzer. She's a nervous one. So we found Elizabeth and I'm so happy with the entire experience. Our girl was well taken care of, given lots of cuddles and was safe. Elizabeth sent us photos and answered any questions and concerns we had. When we dropped off our dog Elizabeth wasn't available but her mom was (super sweet lady). She was waiting for us already when we arrived. Most importantly, when we picked her up, she was happy, healthy and clean! Thank you so much Elizabeth. You are our to-go sitter from now on!”

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 Fort Hancock 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 Fort Hancock 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 Fort Hancock.
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.

You and your Fort Hancock 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.
