“IIiana is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our July was so at peace and happy. She sends pictures and updates throughout the days. She had July for 4 days and we're so appreciative of her loving care. She's our permanent sitter now. Whenever July needs a vacation she will go with her AUNTIE IIIANA! THANKS AGAIN TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. MANY BLESSINGS. 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯❤️”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“Priyanka truly went above and beyond to take care of my senior dog. She is the best caretaker I’ve ever had in Rover would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Ryan watched both our dogs for a couple of days while we were gone. Initially it was only supposed to be one but we had some plans change and had a last minute request which he kindly accommodated. He kept us updated everyday while watching the boys. One of them got an upset stomach which he helped tend to. Thank you for taking good care of the boys!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
“Natali took wonderful care of Griffin while I was away. She was very patient with all of his quirks and special needs. She was very communicative and regularly let me know how he was doing. I really felt like she made Griffin very comfortable in her home and cared for him as if he were her own. I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”
“Jatna is amazing! So communicative and flexible. Took our pups in with a last minute request and they were so loved. Will absolutely request Jatna in the future!”
“Binta is great at communicating and taking care of all your pet’s needs. Leading up to my pets stay Binta was available for not only a meet and greet , but available for all my questions and concerns. This was my first time booking with not only Rover , but with a pet sitter . Leaving my puppy for 1 week scared me tremendously, but I was put at complete ease after communicating with Binta. She worked hard to stay on schedule with my pets walks and feeding times. She also kept him busy with park activities and socialization for my pup ! She kept me updated each day and was always available for communication! I would definitely rebook with Binta for future stays !”
“Ivette boarded our senior dog Sailor who was struggling with many health issues. Throughout his time with Ivette we received regular and detailed updates. It was obvious that she cared about his well being and did everything she could to make him comfortable. She has a lot of experience with dogs and catered to his needs in a lot of ways. Have no doubt that your pet will be in good hands!”
“John was great - Extremely responsive and kept me updated while my dog Ollie stayed with him. I gave so many instructions because Ollie has separation anxiety and John took them all very well. When I got Ollie back he was so calm and relaxed because John took such good care of him!”
“Sarah and Danny took amazing care of our dog Charlie! They were very communicative and sent lots of adorable photos during our long weekend away. They also took him for good long walks (their proximity to riverside park is a huge plus!), and gave him lots of love and cuddles. We will definitely have Charlie stay with them again!”
“Bridget really helped me out when I needed a last minute sitter! She was very quick to respond to all messages and sent photos throughout my dog’s stay with her. I would definitely use Bridget again.”
“Samantha is such a blessing to my dog and I. I needed care and support watching my toy poodle and she came through!! My dog really likes her! I can tell when I come to pick him up - he has enjoyed his stay! I look forward to booking her again !!”
“Highly recommended. Susan went above and beyond for my dog and the service that she provided was amazing. We received tons of pictures and videos and she made us feel very comfortable with leaving our dog with her. It was our first time using the Rover with Susan, and I would definitely go back again! There is no one like Susan. She is absolutely amazing.”
“I will give Kate 10/10 I can feel when I picked up my dog ,my furry daughter had been taken care of. And she keep me updated everyday which is amazing. And my dog is old and not many Dogsitter really know how to take care of old dog due to my previous experience of dog sitter. I just rebook Kate again for my upcoming gateway family and I feel assured that my dog will feels like home with her.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I’ve fostered 14 cats, including kittens, undersocialized cats, and cats recovering from surgery, as well as fostered two dogs. I’ve also been a neighborhood dog walker and have cared for family pets. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care based on what works best for you and your pet. I have my own cat at home, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable and get along well with cats. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet has a calm, comfortable environment while in my care. For pets who aren’t comfortable around cats, I’m happy to provide care in their home instead.

We had a great experience and would highly recommend him! He was reliable, dependable, and took great care of my dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We really appreciated his help and would happily use him again!
Alyona was so sweet and amazing!’ She met us at the dog park beforehand to bond with our little guy, he was comfy right away. Great sense of humor with our daily photos 🤪 Harlem came back rested and at ease after his 4 night sleepover. 10/10, thank you Alyona! 🐾
Tania is the best sitter I used ever. Respond in minutes and be very detailed on my pups' situations and updates. Sending pics and updates multiple times a day. And all my pups look very very happy back home. I can tell she doing this with all her love and not just seeing this as a work. I will 100% lock she as my sitter while I'm away. And would recommend others for sure.

Stevie had the best stay with Ethel and her daughter! She gets multiple walks—even in wild weather—and spends her days playing with her new dog friends, taking cozy naps, and getting so much love and care. They treat her like part of the family, and I always know she’s in wonderful hands. No one in the city will care for your fur baby better than these two. We’re so grateful for them! 🐾💕
Julia was such a great communicator before, during, and after our dog's stay with her. She was able to care for a somewhat stubborn pup who needs medications without issue, sent pictures and written updates, and our dog came back happy and tired (the best combination!). Her apartment is clean and safe. We will be booking with her again soon.
I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie! Leaving Nova with someone new while I was away was a little nerve-racking, but Stephanie made the entire experience so much easier. Her communication was outstanding — I received multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. What I appreciated most was how genuinely caring Stephanie was. It never felt like Nova was just another dog she was watching. She treated her like one of her own, and as someone who considers his dog family, that meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Nova because I knew she was being loved and well taken care of. I’m incredibly grateful to Stephanie and would absolutely trust her with Nova again. Highly recommend!
Ariana was absolutely amazing with my five-year-old mini poodle, Onyx! I feel so fortunate to have found her as a sitter. From the very beginning, she was so caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She picked up Onyx up from my home and came with her siblings in case there was a lot to carry. During his stay, she took him on long walks to the park and made sure he was comfortable and having a good time. She also had a Pitbull who was in her care around Onyx, and they got along so well! I really appreciated that she always made sure their playtime was supervised. Ariana was also very careful and responsible. I gave her snacks that she could share with the other dog, but because the dog had allergies, she made sure to check with the owner first before giving them anything. That really showed me how attentive she is and how seriously she takes the dogs in her care. She kept me updated throughout Onyx’s stay with pictures and videos, including pictures of him with his new friend. She also let me know how he was eating and kept me informed about how he was doing overall. Her entire family was so caring and welcoming to Onyx, and I truly appreciate all of them. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Onyx was clearly loved and well cared for, and I was able to relax knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Ariana again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, attentive, and trustworthy to care for their fur baby! 💛🐾

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.
95% of sitters in Fort Lee 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 Lee 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 Lee.
<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 Fort Lee 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.
