“Heidi and Steve are truly exceptional pet sitters who cared for my 14-year-old blind Lhasa Apso, Bailey. I had not left him since he lost his vision three years ago, so I was understandably apprehensive. However, from the moment I met Heidi and Steve, I felt an overwhelming sense of trust in their abilities. Their genuine compassion and dedication made it clear that they would treat Bailey as if he were their family member. They provided an inviting and safe environment for pets, and their commitment to keeping me informed was remarkable. I received daily updates and photos showcasing Bailey’s activities, which reassured me immensely during my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend Heidi and Steve to anyone in search of caring and professional pet sitters who will give their pets the love and attention they deserve.”
“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.”
“I’m very glad that I came across Martin and Susie! They were both awesome to work with, and I can tell my pet had a good time staying with them. They took care of every little details and shared pictures pretty much every day! Their house is very beautiful and the yard is the icing on the cake. They will definitely be my first choice going forward.”
“Morgan has excellent communication and when I picked up my dogs I could tell they had an awesome time and she took really great care of them. Morgan comes highly recommended. Thank you for taking care of them.”
“Odalys and Manuel were amazing with my Lily. This was the first time I've boarded my dog and I'm so happy I did it with them. Right before boarding my Lily had an allergic reaction and had a bit of extra instructions with her medications. But they did an amazing job. They constantly sent me updates throughout the day and really treated my dog like she was family.”
“Yamille and her family are fantastic! We left our dog for an entire week while traveling to Europe on an emergency trip and got our Twix back happy and playful. Will do it again!”
“This was hands down one of, if not the BEST dog sitters that I’ve ever had. She was incredibly attentive and communicated the ENTIRE time that I was away. She sent me pictures of my pup multiple times and day and treated him like he was part of her family. I was so impressed by Yaimara that I had my friends download the Rover app so that they can hire her for the next time they need a dog sitter. There wasn’t one time that I had to check-in during my time away because she was so thorough and on top of it. There was a severe storm that came through and caused extreme flight delays on my way back. Yaimara reassured me that everything would be ok and she went out of her way to accommodate me. Do yourself and your furry family member a favor and book her! Thank you Yaimara! 🏆✨🥇”
“Stephanie and Kevin took wonderful care of our fur baby while we were out of town! They are very responsive, and they shared photos of our dog during his stay - our dog absolutely loved them! Also, our flight was significantly delayed coming home, and Stephanie and Kevin were willing to keep our dog another night for us. We will definitely book Stephanie and Kevin again in the future, and we highly recommend them!”
“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 (and her mom and daughter) did a great job of watching my cat, Pepe. She made me feel very comfortable and secure, by quickly responding to my texts, and sending very nice pictures of Pepe every day. He looked happy and cared for. I highly recommend her and will call her again for my next trip”
“Audrey is fantastic!!! She watched our two 60+ lb dogs and they came back pooped so I know that they had a great weekend!!! She was incredibly communicative and gave daily updates!! We loved her and look forward to booking her again!!!”
“Catherine was the best decision we've ever made for our dogs. Neither of them had ever stayed with anyone but family but we had to find someone else because of a special event. I specifically wanted someone who would care for them like family and found Catherine's profile. We did a meet and greet and our dogs got along great with her and her sweet dogs. Before we left town we dropped the dogs off and knew they were in good hands. We got regular updates with photos and our dogs appeared to be in heaven. Catherine's big, fenced backyard gave them plenty of room to play, she interacted with them regularly, and made sure they were exercised and well cared for. When we picked them up they were excited to see us but sad to leave their new friends. By the time we got them in the car they were already sound asleep and were exhausted the rest of the day. Catherine is the only person I'd ever leave them with again!”
“Highly recommend Vicky D. She took fantastic care of Bailey during the stay. Great communication, lovely photos/videos, and wonderful service. Will definitely be using them again!”
“We finally found the perfect place to leave Lucy when we travel and I am so happy. We received updates & pics everyday. She is my husband's emotional support dog & very important to both of us. We would highly recommend Lua & Kirklyn to anyone looking for the perfect home away from home for their pet.”
“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”
“What a great person to watch your dog while you're away. She provided photos and videos every day, walked and played with our dog, and generally treated her like our dog was her own. I would definitely recommend her highly and would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“At first I was a bit apprehensive in leaving my Coco with Valentina; only because she had so many other dogs in her care. However, my fears were quickly put to ease with her communication style. She not only sent photos but videos of my Coco and it was a daily occurrence. Sending them before I had a chance to ask. When I picked up my baby girl she seemed happy. After bathing and checking her out; she was perfectly happy. I would 100% recommend Valentina and would use her services again.”
“Emily was the best!!! She took care of our golden, Koa, for a full week and made sure to keep us updated with pictures the entire time. He looked like he was in great care!! My flight home was cancelled last minute and Emily was super accommodating and communicative. Would recommend her to anyone and would absolutely come back to 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.
