“Javier was super helpful and watched our puppy for an overnight stay when we came from out of town. He was flexible with the schedule and taking care of our puppy. He was responsive and communicated often. Our puppy was well cared for. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”
“Very caring host. Margarita and her husband took care of my dog like their own pet. She uploaded regular videos and was in constant touch with us. She took care of my dogs feeding and regular walking routines. Glad that we met Margarita. I will absolutely keep my dog with her in future.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we honestly couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding Natasha! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish - incredibly professional, caring, and communicative. She kept us updated throughout our dog Clark’s stay with regular messages and plenty of adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Clark is a Cavapoo who requires a lot of attention, love, and affection, and it was immediately clear when we picked him up that he had been spoiled and incredibly well taken care of. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved his time with Natasha! We will 100% be using Natasha for all of our future boarding needs. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dog, we highly recommend her. 10/10, we couldn’t be happier!”
“They were great. We were in town for a concert and we needed someone on short notice, so we messaged. They got back to us right away, great communication. I even got picture updates..”
“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”
“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“We recently moved to the area and we’re so glad we found Melanie to take care of our 15 year old Maltipoo Peanut. She gave us several updates and pictures during her stay. I would definitely recommend Melanie!”
“Since we rescued Sedona in October and this was her 1st time staying with a dog sitter, we were a little nervous with how she would be with a sitter. How fortunate were we to find Zuzel! Sedona requires 3 different types of eye drops to be given 3 times a day. We were so happy to find someone willing to care for our special needs fur baby. Zuzal and her daughter were so kind and caring. They put us and Sedona atease”
“Megan and Nick were phenomenal! Lola felt right at home with their family and Bubba, their dog. They were responsive and sent my partner and I daily photo updates of our girl. I was afraid Lola wouldn’t want to leave come pick up because she was oh so loved and entertained during her stay with them. We found our trusted sitter family!”
About: I owned a dog for 15 years. She passed away about 7 years ago. We are looking to spend time with dogs but we aren’t ready to have one ourselves just yet I work full-time on weekdays, so we’re available for pet care on weekends and holidays. We love spending free time with animals and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while your pet is in our care. I have a secure fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home. My kids and I love animals, and pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while staying with us. I will be the only one responsible for care of your pet, but I will have my kids around often times to play.
“I know my dog has found a home away from home! Maisha was consistently sending me updates and pictures. Made sure my dog was well taken care of and having fun. I was happy to see pictures of him with other poo dogs! I would definitely recommend”
“Jacqueline and her family are incredibly welcoming and attentive. They love our furry family member as if he were their own. She gives frequent updates. We were so grateful to have our buddy stay with Jacqueline!”
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!
“Tiara was wonderful with our cat. Her cats welcomed ours to their family and appeared to have a good time together. Constantly provided with uodates as well so I knew everything was going well.”
“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”
“So thankful for Nan and her family for their loving care and love for Ichigo! She sent me updates along with photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me a big relief. She was content and calm when I came to pick her up, I can tell that she received plenty love and attention.”
“Connor is fantastic! He always communicates about drop-off and pick up and is very flexible. He sends photos and videos showing our dog playing and having a great time. He is our go-to Rover and our dog loves him!”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”

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.
Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!
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 Meet & Greet .
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.
