“Ariana was a delight! She was so great with communication and sending lots of photos during my pup’s stay. My dog seemed so happy to be staying with her and her family. Would absolutely rebook with her!”
“Bottom line - Xunzi was great and we will use her service again. Xunzi took care of Nala, our rescue dog, while we were on vacation. We got many photos and videos, and ongoing updates about how Nala was doing. We got Nala back happy and healthy. Thanks Xunzi!”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Frances took great care of our dog. She works from home so he got a week of full attention. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Very nice person and animal lover.”
“Pamela did a amazing job watching my two dogs. She made my week away from them stress free. She sent me daily updates and videos to reassure me that they were happy and enjoying themselves. They seemed very comfortable with her and I could tell right away that she is a true animal lover and I made the right choice when I booked her. Pamela, thank you for helping make my trip unforgettable and worry free.”
“Ankita was absolutely wonderful with my pet. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. She treated my pet like her own and made sure every detail was taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and responsibility she showed. I highly recommend Anikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Betsy took great care of our dog! She sent great daily pictures of what our Max was doing and kept a great schedule with him. At the end of the stay, he even sat by her side. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.”
“Jessica is great! My dog Kooky stayed at her place for 2 days, and I can see that she truly cares about Kooky. I was updated frequently how Kooky is doing, with lots of pictures and videos. I can see Kooky had a great time there and I highly recommend Jessica.”
“Chulmin & hoyjin took in Thor last minute for us again and showered him with so much love! They brushed him out (which is quite a feat), gave him dental treats and ensured he was pampered to the fullest. They also prepared in advance for his stay by requesting we bring his rain gear knowing ahead it was going to be raining. Yet again, they had impeccable communication and sent lots of pics along the way. They even returned him with one of their toys that he couldn’t stop playing with. 1000% will continue using them!”
“Marcy was absolutely amazing with our pup Chewie! He was so so so loved by her entire family and she sent us amazing pictures and videos the entire time we were away! Thank you so much for taking care of our pup, we have definitely found our new sitter and hope you’ll have Chewie back in your home!”
“"Highly recommended! Fanya was incredibly friendly and attentive while taking care of my dog. They consistently sent me pictures to keep me updated, which made me feel at ease. Their love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with my furry friend. Trustworthy and caring, [fanya] provided top-notch service. I would gladly hire them again!"”
“Funda was excellent, we had requested her to take care of Goofy pretty last minute and she took him without any hesitation. Very friendly with us and our Goofy, gentle and loving. Goofy was so at ease with her, even we were comfortable leaving him in her care. She was also very proactive in sending us pictures and video updates of goofy.”
“Great communication from her. My dogs had so much fun boarding at her house and came home happy and tired. I had no worries about their safety and knew they were having fun. Would definitely recommend boarding with Kia.”

“Rosemarie watched my two dogs for about a week and she treated them like they were her own! She kept us updated with pictures and videos and when we picked them up they were clean and had cute bowties on them. We will definitely book her in the future.”
“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”

Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb
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! 🐶❤️
Another great stay with Funda, this time for 5 nights. As usual she took great care of our girl Okoye. She shared regular updates with pics and videos of our girl enjoying the big fenced in yard. We hate to leave her but when we do I always trust Funda to take great care of her. 100% recommend booking with her, it’s clear the whole family loves dogs.
My dog immediately liked Karla and didn't mind a bit when I left the house. Karla did an excellent job of sharing photos and updates during my dog's stay, so I was always at ease. I greatly appreciated how flexible Karla was with the advance notice changes to the pickup and drop off times. If I ever need overnight care again, I've got Karla on speed dial!
We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!
Keisy was wonderful! She kept me up to date everyday with messages and pictures, and she was responsive, friendly and kind. She also accepted my request at the last minute, when my other plans fell through, she was a total lifesaver! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. My pups came home happy, healthy and well cared for.
Katherine took fantastic care of our two pups! This was our first time boarding with her, so naturally a bit nervous, but almost immediately after dropping off we started getting updates about the dogs. Photos and videos, showing happy and well-cared for dogs with wagging tails! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our fur babies and putting us at ease!
The most amazing sitter ever. I received daily pictures of my sweet girl all day. She was living the dream! My flight was delayed and they were available to keep my Rubi an additional day. It was my first time leaving my sweetie with a sitter and first time using rover but I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely book again if I ever go away for vacation.
Paloma was great! We had our fur baby on her hand for eight nights. Paloma updated everyday how he was doing during our travel with bunch of photos. Our puppy seem to be very happy on her hand. When we picked him up, he seemed to be so sad to be parted with her and refused to leave. He was healthy and happy when he came back home. I will definitely find her again when we have another occasion that we have to leave him behind.
Christina was so communicative and Neptune seemed very well looked after while I was away for a week. When I described Neptunes potential reactivity she took it all in stride and he did very well while he was there, which I’m so grateful for. I will definitely use her services again!

There are 14,320 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garfield. About 88% of Garfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
