“They were absolutely amazing with Louie! They provided frequent updates throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and videos that Louie was having a wonderful time. He loved playing with their dog, enjoyed plenty of cuddle time, and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. They were also very responsive to messages and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I truly felt that Louie was treated like part of their family while he was there. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!”
“Paola is a great caregiver. She and her family took very good care of our very elderly dog who needs constant special care and attention due to his age and kidney disease. At this age and with frequent need to pee, it takes a lot of work to keep him clean and from having accidents and mixing his prescription food twice a day. Paola did an excellent job caring for him, washing his bedding and clothes, giving him lots of petting and love to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away for a very long 12 days. I highly recommend Paola as an excellent, experienced dog sitter and are super grateful to her and her family for the daily updates and pictures, and for giving us a peace of mind knowing that our Desi was happy and well cared for. She and her son also were so generous in giving him a bath too, so he could come home clean. Thank you, Paola.”
“Christina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while watching Kyrie! She sent tons of pictures, kept us updated throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. We trusted her right away, and she really came through for us when our flights were delayed and we needed a last-minute extension. Communication was clear, quick, and super helpful. We’d ask her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“Sanga is 14 years old, and stayed with Ivette and Gonzalo for a week. He has come home looking really happy and healthy. He seems to be have been well cared for. The hosts are super responsive and Sanga looked really at home at their place. We are really happy and would highly recommend Ivette and Gonzalo.”
“Xunzi took my 2 cats at the drop of a hat! I booked the night before I needed them out of the house for a chemical treatment there after a fire. She did not just take care of them, but also paid attention to their psychological well-being, inviting us to visit them and slowly introduced them to her pets. She played with them and showered them with treats and food, replacing the inadequate one I had brought. A gem!”
“Cristina was amazing with Raven during our week away! She sent daily updates and adorable photos & videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs—not just saying it, but truly showing it in how she cares. Raven came home happy, relaxed, and maybe a little bit spoiled (in the best way). Highly recommend!”
“Will definitely book with Ryan again soon! He proactively sent lots of updates and pictures and was responsive whenever I reached out. He indulged my pup in all the cuddles he demanded, and I trust he was in good care :)”
“We had our dog stay with them for boarding, and we couldn’t have been happier! They were incredibly kind, took great care of our dog, and frequently sent us photos and videos so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend them!”
“IIiana is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our July was so at peace and happy. She sends pictures and updates throughout the days. She had July for 4 days and we're so appreciative of her loving care. She's our permanent sitter now. Whenever July needs a vacation she will go with her AUNTIE IIIANA! THANKS AGAIN TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. MANY BLESSINGS. 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯❤️”
“Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.”
“Cheyenne took good care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, responsive, and everything went smoothly. We appreciated knowing our dog was in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Cheyenne!”
“Euitae was amazing with our pup Nutmeg! He was incredibly responsive, sent us plenty of photos, and treated her like one of his own. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and look forward to having Euitae care for Nutmeg again soon.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have always had a special love for them. I had my beloved Pomeranian by my side from 2015 until December 2025, so caring for a dog was an important part of my everyday life for many years. I have also cared for the dogs of friends and family, which has given me experience with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent with every dog. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet with someone else, and I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home. I would be honored to give your pup the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own dog for so many years. I’m available for pet care Monday through Sunday. I work during the day and leave home around 7:45 AM, returning around 4:30 PM. My 16-year-old daughter gets home around 2:45 PM, and I’m fully available in the evenings. I’m also available all day on weekends. I have a large patio and a spacious deck where pets can enjoy some fresh air and relax. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy having company. I provide a safe, clean and loving environment, and I can crate your dog if needed. I will always follow your pet’s routine and care instructions.
“My dog Parker had a wonderful time. It was so nice to know he was treated as family and loved while away. From the updates to pictures was wonderful. Stephanie and her family were amazing. Can not say enough how wonderful she is. Thank you for treating my baby like your own!!!! Best care ever”
“Janise and her family took the absolute BEST care of my Daisy! From the moment she arrived, I knew she was in the best hands. Daisy had so much fun that she didn’t even want to leave! She especially loved spending time with Frankie, their incredibly sweet and gentle Bernedoodle, and I know Daisy will miss him so much! I also can’t thank Janise and her family enough for being so accommodating when I unexpectedly needed to add an extra day of boarding at the last minute. They were incredibly kind and flexible, and throughout the entire stay, day and night, I knew Daisy was safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for my girl. I’m so grateful and would recommend Janise and her family to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Sandra and San were absolutely incredible with Leo! We left him with them for 5 nights and felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. They were so warm, kind, and caring, and I really appreciated how much effort they made to get to know Leo beforehand and understand his personality and routine. It really showed how responsible and thoughtful they are as sitters. Leo got tons of walks, playtime with Penny, and plenty of room to run around in their big fenced-in yard. We loved all the photos and videos and could tell he was having such a great time. They were also so easy to communicate with, which made everything completely stress-free. We’d absolutely have Leo stay with them again and HIGHLY recommend!!!
Christina truly went above and beyond with my dog Sammy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sammy can be very nervous around new people and takes time and patience to become comfortable, and Christina and her husband were incredibly understanding and respectful of his boundaries from the very beginning. She kept me consistently updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind, and I could tell she was genuinely paying attention to how he was feeling and adjusting her approach accordingly. She was patient, compassionate, communicative, and took all of the information I gave her about Sammy’s routine and temperament seriously. This was a big step for both Sammy and me, and Christina made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. I’m extremely grateful for the care and effort she put into making him feel safe and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with Sammy again and highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a dog who may need a little extra patience and understanding.
Amarys was such an amazing pet sitter! Not only was she extremely humble and sweet, she took such great care of our pups, Mochi and Miso. I can’t thank her enough for being so attentive and caring with the dogs. We have a pup with a strict diet which she stuck to and even reached out when clarity was needed. She went above and beyond to tell us about her healthy, homemade treat line for our dogs although they have sensitive tummies…I must say, her treats are a must try! Our dogs didn’t have any adverse reactions to them and loved the flavor. Overall, I’d 1000% recommend her for your pet care/needs!
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.
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!
Moonyoung and Sunhyung are AMAZING. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and also our first time using Rover. They were so amazing with all of the updates and pictures throughout the day. They took our pup to the park and took him out of walks multiple times a day. They are also super responsive in case you have any questions or concerns. We’re so glad we found people who we can trust!

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.
95% of sitters in Hackensack 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 Hackensack 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 Hackensack.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hackensack 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 NJ 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.
