“Last night was my first night away from my 4 month old puppy. Even though my pup did great on our meet and great I was very anxious about leaving her. Bob knew my husband and I were celebrating our 25 year wedding anniversary and made sure we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves but sending periodic updates with pics. When we picked up our puppy today she just woke up from a nap on Bob's lap. She was happy to see us but in no rush to leave. Bob will now be watching her for 10 nights in the summer and I couldn't be happier. I am 100% confident that I found the perfect sitter for my little girl. Thank you again Bob!!!”
“I wish I could give more stars. Vincent is a great person loves animals. My dog Ouzo had great experience with him. Vincent send me photos and videos that my boy having great time. Ouzo never felt homesick or left alone. When I went to pick him up he was extremely clean brushed look like show dog. Thank you Vincent and his family for great service.”
“Erica is wonderful. Sent updates and pix everyday. My dog was so happy and had so much social activity with other dogs. Erica is very organized and has a great space for boarding. She’s a pro!”
“I recommend Lina so much. It was pretty easy to communicate with her, and she tried her best to find ways to work out certain things. My dog looks totally fine after I want to pick him up. Although a little sad because he probably misses her 😂. She always updated me with photos and videos of my dog everyday! 5 stars definitely recommend for others.”
“My puppy had a great time with her! Very communicative and provided constant updates with pictures and videos. Very responsive. Ginger really enjoyed her stay! Thank you!”
“Absolutely recommend! The pictures were so cute & I could see my little girl was having a blast and was calm. It was my first time leaving her so I was able to enjoy my time without worrying if she was okay. I’m so glad we met, I look forward to using your services again!”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“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.”
“Kitty was friendly, responsive, and understanding towards us and our dog’s needs. We were feeling quite nervous leaving our anxious dog with someone from Rover for the first time, but our Hazel quickly warmed up to Kitty and her partner. It was clear that Hazel was comfortable and happy during her stay! Kitty kept us updated multiple times a day with photos and was easy to contact, which helped put our mind at ease. We were glad we chose Kitty to board our dog for a long weekend!”
“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.”
“Gavriel took amazing care of my dog for 5 days, and I couldn’t be happier. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Gavriel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Stephanie is probably the best dog care giver I’ve ever met. She took excellent care of my dogs and it looked as they had an even better vacation than my family did. Fully trust Stephanie with my pups and I recommend others do too.”
“Great experience! My dog was well cared for over the weekend, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Communication was great, and I would definitely recommend this sitter and book again!”
About: Since birth, I have lived with absolutely different animals and I believe that a house without an animal has no soul. I had an experience with a newborn puppy who was thrown out at birth, I fed him from a bottle when his eyes were not yet open, nursed him until three months and found him a loving and permanent family. Once I tamed a cat who was abandoned, offended by street cats and in the end he found salvation for himself in the form of my family and currently still lives with my family. For me, animals are not just a thing in the house, but an equal member of the family, created for respect and love. Now I don't work and have the opportunity to spend day and night with your pet. At certain times I can be away, this is discussed on the fact Our building has a fenced yard, and in our apartment lives a little man of 3 years old, who loves animals and will be the best company for them. Also in our house there is love, mutual understanding and respect for each other and the guests of our house.
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Hancock. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
