“Geoff and his family were absolutely wonderful with our three pups and truly went above and beyond. They communicated regularly and shared lots of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs had an amazing time with daily trips to the dog park and even felt included in the family’s holiday celebrations. They were clearly loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. Our youngest pup actually cried when it was time to leave at pickup—proof of how much he enjoyed his stay! We would not hesitate to recommend Geoff and his family and will definitely book with them again.”
“I cant say enough kind words about how well my little girl Princess was taken care of by Orem.From the moment of the meet& greet I had a good feeling about her.How she worked with me&Princess to make this a great experience for my dog&I.We had never been apart-Ive never had to leave her before&she is a older dog(17 yrs.old) She was so helpful walking us thru this-it made it easier for both of us.While I was gone we were in touch 2-3 times a day.She would send pictures& videos which were so comforting-I knew she was in good hands.It made my time away from Princess easier on me because I didnt have to worry about her.Orem took such good care of her&texted me every day with a progress report on what she did that day.How can you Thank someone who stepped in and treated my little dog the way I would have.She is a wonderful caring women that I am so glad that I have found.What a load off my shoulders knowing I have her to go to if &when I need to go away again.😊❤”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs and cats while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, dog walk, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.
“Nala was very well taken care of, receiving so much love and attention during her stay. They provided detailed updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. They took her on plenty of walks, and their kids were so kind and sweet to Nala. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and attentive sitter. We would happily book with them again.”
“Rocío was great! Sent us lots of pics and kept us updated. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and had a lot of time to play. When we picked them up it looked like they were bathed ! We will be back!”
“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
“Kinjal was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She was able to take her at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, so I could see that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Kinjal is caring, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
“Jonathan was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. He was really responsive and knowledgeable! Took the stress away while being away and knew Mia was in good hands. Would recommend and will be using him again.”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2020, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m usually open and available any day of the week. My calendar is up to date at least 3 weeks ahead. Please inquire about further dates. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.
“Molly was amazing! She was super communicative before and during our dog’s stay. He got plenty of exercise and play and snuggles. It was such a relief knowing he was getting such great care while we were away. I’d absolutely recommend Molly and will definitely book again in the future!”
“She took such great care of my boy! ❤️ From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax knowing he was in good hands. 🐾💕 It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treated him like one of her own. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust her with him again. We definitely found our dog’s new bestie! 🐶💗”
“Kristin was a wonderful host!! She was communicative with us everyday, flexible with drop off and pick up schedule, and we could tell Samson was comfortable, happy and well cared for. She understood our anxiety and concerns about leaving our four legged baby, and really put us at ease. Kristin was professional and responsive, and we would highly recommend her to care for your doggie. Jose and Carolyn Lugo ”
“Django was so happy to spend time with Tracy and Steve and his canine buddies. Tracy and Steve provide excellent care and are very conscientious about sharing photos and anecdotes during Django’s stay. Highly recommend!”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“This family took our Buddy in last minute...when my other sitter disappeared on us on a Friday (Juan F) from Bloomfield. Will not hesitate to call Romina back to sit again for us. Buddy came back so happy! Amazing sitter!!!”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“My dog had the best time with Chulmin and Hoyjin! They were extremely communicative and updated me often with pictures of him during his stay with them. They took amazing care of my fur baby and I can’t recommend them more. Will definitely be continuing with their services! Thank you so much for everything!”

Kayla and Vanessa were wonderful hosts for our dog Cusco! They are super sweet and welcoming, and have lots of experience. They sent us cute photos the entire stay and Cusco looked very happy. Communication was topnotch--thorough and transparent. They really took the time to get to know Cusco's needs/schedule/personality. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to care for our furry ones, and we definitely had that. 100% would rebook with them. Thank you ladies!!
Deborah was a lifesaver!!! She came to the rescue last minute when our pet sitter canceled due to a family emergency less than 24 hours before our trip on Christmas!! She made drop off simple, we knew our dog would be in great hands when we saw her yard with a double gate and a large patch of grass cleared from the snow!! She kept in constant contact including pictures and videos to reassure us our dog was safe and sound!! We highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter, she’s absolutely amazing for senior dog needs!!!

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 .
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.

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.
