“Heidi and Steve are amazing. They took excellent care of our dog, who is truly part of our family. She really enjoyed staying at their home. When we came back to pick her up, it was very comforting to see how happy she was and how well cared for she had been. They looked after her for 20 days, and although we were initially concerned that it might be too long, we felt completely at ease the entire time. Heidi and Steve shared photos and videos with us every day, along with funny stories from their daily routine, which gave us great peace of mind. We are truly grateful to them and highly recommend them.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Susan and cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she made me feel completely comfortable and confident that Storm was in caring and capable hands. Susan kept me consistently updated on Storm’s daily activities, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I truly appreciated the thoughtful updates and knowing how he was doing each day. What stood out most, however, was the genuine love, kindness, and attention she showed Storm. It was very clear that she truly cared about his happiness and well-being and treated him with so much warmth and affection. Susan was also incredibly thoughtful and kind toward me throughout the entire experience. Her professionalism, reliability, and compassionate nature made such a positive impression. As a dog parent, it means so much to find someone you can genuinely trust with such an important member of your family, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found Susan. Thank you, Susan, for taking such wonderful care of Storm and for giving him so much love and attention. Your communication and updates made the entire experience easy and reassuring for me. I would absolutely trust Susan with Storm again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, dependable, and exceptional pet sitter.”
“Bailey had a great vacation with Martin and Suzie. This was his first vacation since losing his eye last year. But he did great and was well cared for and treated like their family pet. Thanks for taking such good care of Bailey.”
“Monty was well taken care of over the weekend which allowed me to go out of town for a wedding with peace of mind! They sent me consistent updates and Monty was smiling in each one! They also made sure Monty got his medications on time. If you’re looking for a sitter with safety, fun and love as your top priorities, please don’t hesitate to book De’Andra and Christopher!!!”
“Marcie recently took care of my little Romeo while I was away visiting family for a few days giving me peace of mind knowing he was being cared for by someone who is as kind and patient as her. She greeted me giving a tour of where Romeo would be relaxing- her space is safe, clean plus dog-friendly. We were able to communicate easily with pictures and updates, even when my flight was delayed Marcie assured me that he would be fine until I got there. My Romeo will definitely be returning. Thank you so much! You deserve all 5 ⭐️'s.”
“Marvin was amazing per usual! I felt so much more at ease having the pups stay with him on this trip. He was super patient and flexible with some flight delays. My little boys are happy to be home - and were obviously well taken care of!”
“My dog stayed with Caitlin in her home for almost 10 days and she did a wonderful job. I have a young Australian Shepherd who needs a lot of exercise and stimulation and he loved his stay at Camp Caitlin! She was very thorough in understanding his needs and routines in order to keep him safe and happy during his stay and keep the transition as low-stress as possible. We also did a meet and greet ahead of booking so I could see where my pup would be staying which was very comforting. She sent pictures and communicated with me everyday and truly treated my dog as her own. 10/10 would book with her again, for long stays, daycare, walks and everything in between. As a very attached dog -mom, I would always recommend!!”
“Susana was a great kitty sitter! She was so loving and attentive to my kitty and took such great care of him. She listened to all his needs and even administered his medicine daily perfectly which isn’t easy! She was very accommodating with my schedule and was very communicative- sending me pictures and updates on him during his stay which made me so happy.i can’t wait to have her watch both my cats again soon!!”
“I have never found a dog sitter that has been able to handle my extremely mischievous dachshund! I love him to death but he is a HANDFUL so I am always really anxious to leave him with a sitter because I know he will drive them nuts! I have never seen him as calm and relaxed as he was with Isabel. She made him so comfortable and found ways to deal with his anxiety! To quote my 4 year old, “Otto was so calm because Isabel is like the nicest and calmest lady I ever met!””
About: I have experience caring for dogs and elderly people, and I am a very patient, responsible, and caring person. I understand the importance of giving them attention, companionship, and gentle care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets during the week and on weekends. I can adjust my schedule to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs and routine. I have a safe, fenced-in home with no children or other pets, so your fur baby can enjoy a calm and comfortable environment. I’m ready to give them lots of love, attention, and care and make them feel right at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Anna was an excellent choice for my cat. Anna immediately makes you feel comfortable knowing your pet is being left with someone who really cares about animals. All of my pets needs were met, and Anna was extremely accommodating. I will most certainly be using Anna for my pet sitting needs into the future.”
“Audrey was great to work with! She accepted my last minute boarding request and was flexible when I had travel delays! She communicated very well and Rocky felt comfortable with her right away.”
“Luz is AMAZING! I felt so comfortable when i met her. House was clean, she took photos and kept me updated Throughout the day. She looked happy and cared for. I will be using Liz again. Thank you Liz!”
“Vicky and Christina are exceptional. They were so accommodating, loving to our two dogs and their house is just perfect for dog boarding. Anytime I would reach out, Vicky always messaged me back with pictures right away! I highly recommend, and if you choose them, your dog will be taken care of with love and a lot of attention.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 3 years now, and i love and care for them as my own. I love dogs and it would bd my pleasure to take care of yours! I am currently attending PBA and I am on the tennis team so I can do daily walks in between or on the weekends if needed! I have a patio and a dog park close where I could take them to play. I could also be of great help around the house if needed!
“Jennifer took care of our Frankie for almost three weeks. He seemed happy and comfortable during the long stay. Jennifer has a great outdoor environment for pups to get plenty of safe, outdoor exercise and playtime. We really appreciated having our boy with Jennifer. Thank you, Jennifer”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my pup! She was extremely responsive and provided photos and videos throughout the stay so I was able to see how comfortable and happy Cali was. She absolutely loved the pool and Sarah took her out to the beach so it was a vacation for her too! We would definitely have Cali stay again.”
“Christen takes great care of our pups, and is very accommodating to changing plans or administering medications. We’ll definitely be having our puppy children stay with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
This was our first experience with Rover & I’m so happy we connected with Chandra! She communicated with us throughout the week providing us with daily updates and frequent photos. We loved working with her & we’re happy to say that Sunny will be a new regular with Chandra.
Heidi & Steve, we just wanted to say thank you both SO much for taking such amazing care of our sweet Fefe! ❤️ It truly meant the world to us knowing she was in such loving hands while we were away. All the pictures and videos you sent made us so happy because we could see just how comfortable, happy, and loved she was with you both! We also really appreciate how kind, understanding, and flexible you were with our travel schedule and flight changes. You both are such wonderful people, and we feel so lucky to have found you! Thank you for treating our baby like your own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and Fefe can’t wait to see you both again! 🐾💕
Patrick is always amazing when sitting Bucky. My dog is always happy to see him which is a wonderful sign! He sends pictures and updates daily and follows care instructions thoroughly. My dog also always smells good when I pick him up! Thanks for the baths Patrick! ❤️ Will always trust him to watch my boy 😊
Nathalia is the sweetest and most communicative sitter I have ever had for my sweet little boy. She provided pictures and updates on my little boy which assured me that he was happy and well cared for. I’m so glad I found Nathalia and her family, they are truly amazing and caring people!
We couldn't be happier with the care our 4 month old Mini Poodle, Winston, received! The communication was exceptional, and the daily photo and video updates gave us complete peace of mind. Winston absolutely loved Yaniuska and felt right at home. We’ll definitely be rebooking and highly recommend her!
This was Nala’s first stay with Susie and Martin and it was a great experience! She was spoiled with walks twice a day, which is her favorite! We received pics and updates several times a day as well. We definitely recommend Susie and Martin and we are booking again soon!
PHENOMENAL! As soon as Susan greeted the door, I was immediately comfortable with leaving my dog with her. She just has that kind of energy. She sent me photos of her and her daughter playing & spending quality time with zero as if he was their own. Be careful your pet may not wanna come home after they meet Susan. I mean shes quite great. Susan is also quite knowledgeable. Seems to leave a very healthy lifestyle and that translates into her care for your pet. I absolutely would suggest her.
Stephanie and Kevin are great. I felt comfortable that my little boy would be well cared for. I’m relieved to have someone I can leave my little boy with without worrying the entire time. The make sure everyone is away from the front door before opening and they have a nice, clean backyard to hang out in and go potty.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
96% of sitters in Glen Ridge 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 Glen Ridge 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 Glen Ridge.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Ridge. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Glen Ridge 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 FL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
