“Candice was so kind and communicated extremely well while watching my dog. She was flexible, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. This was my dog’s first time staying with Candice, and everything went smoothly. I felt confident knowing my dog was in great hands, and I definitely plan to use her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“We send Raffi to Beth’s for Winter Camp. Raffi loved it there, he found a twin sister, got tons of love, treats and fun. Raffi is a loving dog, but sometimes a drama king when he wants attention. He got all the attention and affection he wanted during Winter Camp. Beth was great, very communicative and she sent us pictures, messages and videos every day, which we highly appreciated. Thank you for everything, Beth!”

“Andres did a great job with our two 1 year old dogs. Both came home happy as Andres has plenty of room for them to run around and play. It's our first Rover experience and we were both relieved to find a sitter with plenty of experience. I would recommend Andres.”

“What a wonderful, stress-free experience we had with LaToya! Our sweet little dog is a bit on the anxious side, she's almost 11, but still becomes pretty nervous on the way to the groomer and vet. She's slow to warm up to new people, but surprisingly, she immediately took to LaToya! This literally has never happened, so I knew right away that it was a match made in heaven! LaToya was incredibly responsive, shared pics daily and provided updates about our little one's adjustment process and her week. Leaving our dog with LaToya felt like leaving her with family. We're grateful for that and excited to now have a very comfortable option for her new home away from home when needed. FIVE PLUS stars for sure! Definitely intend to use LaToya's services again and I highly recommend her without reservation! You will not be disappointed! Thank you LaToya!”

“Rosie had a wonderful overnight stay with Ivonne and Joe! We could tell she was happy and well cared for. She got along great with Quincy and seemed to really enjoy having a canine companion during her visit. Rosie also loved spending time in their outdoor area, which gave her plenty of space to explore and relax. Ivonne was fantastic with Rosie and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. We appreciated the updates and the obvious attention and affection Rosie received throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ivonne and Joe again. Highly recommended!”

Communication was excellent during his stay and she was able to accommodate dropping him off at the last minute since we were unable to pick him up. Our previous sitter moved from the area so we are grateful to have found her and our dog seems to love his stays!”

“Lindsey is an amazing sitter!! She shows a lot of love to Chico and he loves her back. Chico came back to us clean, well fed and with no issues. Lindsey's children are very fond of him too. And I appreciate the fact that she sends me pictures of him at play with his furry friends every day. That keeps me at peace to know he's having an enjoyable stay.”

“Olivia is fabulous! She was easy to work with from the start (we are from out of town and would be traveling for weeks). She treated Maestro and Lilah as if they were her own during our crazy wedding and honeymoon schedule. She sent great updates and made us feel completely at ease. She was so kind and very flexible when we had travel troubles that impacted our arranged pick up time. We highly recommend Olivia and plan to work with her again in the future!”

“Sarah and her family are THE BEST! Hopper has never been so excited to go somewhere. My pup has separation anxiety, so it’s a hard feat to get him comfortable somewhere. After his first time there he recognized their names and zoomed when I told him he was going back! Such peace of mind leaving your dog with someone who loves him.”

About: I have always had dogs and cats as well as larger animals. Currently I only have one dog in my house as my other dog and my cat are giving my parents some company. I am home all day and able to provide a flexible schedule for you and your pet needs. I will care for them like my own. I have one dog to keep your pup company. My yard isn’t fenced so I will keep your dog leashed if requested. I can crate or not crate them in my house, depending on your preference.

“I boarded with Aaron for the first time and certainly this may not be th last time as Aaron was very professional and polite. We did a meet and greet and he ensured he has all the relevant information he would need to take care of my Daisy well. I was provided regular updates, pics and videos for Daisy while I was away and it sure was a good experience for Daisy to get a pup cup and enjoy it! There is good play space for the dogs in the fenced backyard also! I would highly recommend Aaron for his boarding services. Thanks!”

“I had been struggling with where to take my dog, Kara Eir, formerly of the Goblin Castle, Protector of Spinner's End, while I was on vacation for a few days in NJ. I contacted a few people, but kept coming back to the Furry Farm. I sent them an email, and Kirk immediately responded explaining how life on the farm works. I don't often leave my dog behind, and all of my nerves were calmed throughout several messages leading up to her stay. I got lots of photos and several videos during her vacation, and she received a bath on pickup day. I hope to book next year's vacation here as well! Thank you guys so much for taking care of my baby!”

“Beth was absolutely phenomenal! I'm from Iowa and had to come to New England for a wedding and to pick up my new puppy. However, I couldn't meet the breeder within his business hours. So, I found Beth. She took on the big adventure of picking up my puppy for me, holding her overnight, sending me a ton of pictures, and then meeting me at the airport to give her to me. I takes a enormous amount of trust for a task like this, and Beth was AMAZING. I could not recommend Beth more!! You can rest assured that your pets will be in the best care possible with Beth. If I lived closer, I would definitely use her services again!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hancocks Bridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 876 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hancocks Bridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

95% of sitters in Hancocks Bridge 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 Hancocks Bridge 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 Hancocks Bridge.

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 Hancocks Bridge. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 Hancocks Bridge 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.

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.
