“Vanessa was absolutely great. This being the first time leaving our pet with someone. She made us fell very comfortable. We received frequent updates about how he was doing, via videos and text messages. She is a loving and caring sitter.”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“Patricia watched our dog Mojo for 2 weeks while we were out of the country She regularly updated us and sent pictures. She was so nice to work with. Pick up and drop off were easy. We could tell Mojo had the best time with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Leticia was so kind, communicative, and caring for my senior shorkie Bella. I was updated daily with how she was doing with pictures. I really appreciated all the updates which kept my mind at ease. Highly recommend !”
“I was SO nervous to leave my old lady with a stranger, but Jessica and her pack were a perfect fit!! She clearly received loads of love and attention, as evidenced by the pictures and reports I regularly received, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jessica, for giving Lily an even better vacation than we had!”
“Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃”
“We just used Alexa for the first time when we went on summer vacation. A new sitter always makes us feel nervous but Alexa helped put us at ease. She suggested a meet and greet with our dog at her place before we went away. While Millie was with Alexa, we got daily updates and photos. Both Walt and Alexa worked hard to make Millie comfortable and taken care of! They even faced the challenge of a dog who was not a fan of walks. They took the extra steps to care for our Millie who has a few quirks (but we adore her)!”
“First time using this app and Cristian was the Best! Took great care of my puppy, walked her a few times a day, showed enthusiasm with her, and sent me photos and updates daily. Great caretaker, easy to communicate with and very understanding because I was a little late with my flight. Will be using Cristian again for sure next time!!!”
“Jacquelyn was the best! Amazing yard and location, and she went above and beyond to make our pup feel comfortable. She also sent lots of picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Nervana is really sweet and understanding. She took care of our dog while we were on vacations. She is accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her services. Thank you”
“Klainer was an amazing sitter, also very friendly! Always updated me with lots of pics of my Bailey. She took good care of my dog and I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Yuberkis was fantastic at communicating! She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog clearly loved being with the sitter and came back happy and well-cared for.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”

About: Hello - I'm Abbie. I have recently left the corporate world to pursue my graduate degree full time and reside in Cranford, NJ. I am a proud dog mom to one doggie - Kai - who absolutely adores other dogs. He uses Rover too when I am away! I have been taking care of animals since I could remember! Growing up in an animal lover household, I have had birds, turtles, bunnies, cats, and dogs. I got my first pet when I was 5 years old; a bunny named Chocolate. I am sadly away from my animals in my home. At my family home, I have a yorkie named Dexter and many silkie chickens; Dobby, Tori, and Sunshine just to name a few! Throughout my undergrad, I also lived with my roommate's Aussie named Asher whom I bathed, walked, and played lots of fetch with. I started house sitting when I was in high school for my neighbors and family-friends on vacations/weekends. I trained my dog Dexter on my own when I was 15 years old and am used to bringing him on daily walks! I am happy to walk, bathe, cuddle, and feed your pet along with any other services you would need. I have a strong love for all animals big and small and will treat them like my own (and so will Kai) Since I am a graduate student, my schedule is very fluid. I have classes in the evenings mostly and my weekends are quite free. Since I have a dog of my own, I am already up around 7-8AM for morning walks a food. I walk my dog at least 1 hour a day - one long walk during lunch time and another in the evening after dinner. I rent a home with an unfenced yard. I already take Kai on 2-3 walks a day. I will be able to walk your furry friend as well!
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garwood
Michelle was so great with our dog Benji, we’ve already had 2 stays with her! Communication and pickup/drop off were all a breeze. We always prefer to leave our dog in a home rather than boarding, and Michelle and her family have the perfect home to share with furry family! We will definitely rebook the next time we go away.
Celeste took incredible care of our 12-year-old pup while we were away. Our dog is naturally very anxious, but Celeste was so sweet, calm, and patient that our dog warmed up right away. The updates and photos kept us reassured the whole time. If you have a dog who needs extra tenderness, Celeste is the person to call!
Kate and her family are wonderful! She watched both of my dogs for a whole week while I was away. She sent pictures of them every day in the morning and the evening. My dogs looked happy and comfortable. Kate is caring and professional. I'm very pleased with her services.
Rosary was so great with our 5 year old dog, Allen. He’s a rescue and is hesitant with new people, but Rosary was extra gentle and loving with him. She even cooked him meals daily without me asking! I think our dog was actually sad to come home! We will definitely book again and highly recommend.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.
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 .
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.
