“First time Rover doggy parent and she made me feel very comfortable offered video call and pictures. Once I arrived very welcoming and made me feel safe with leaving him. Provided pictured of them all playing and sleeping and gave normal updates (he stayed over night)”
“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I genuinely love for animals of all sizes and personalities. My experience goes beyond dogs and cats—I’ve also cared for smaller pets, including bunnies and guinea pigs, so I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves gentle, attentive care. Growing up in Ukraine, I had a cat who was a special part of my life and helped me develop a lifelong appreciation for the companionship animals bring. After moving to New York, I also had a dog with my partner, which gave me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities of dog ownership and the importance of keeping a pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Since my schedule is flexible, I can offer plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or happiest relaxing in a cozy spot. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to their routines so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Some days I work from the office and some days I work from home, and sometimes I have flexible schedule where I have to leave the house for a few hours and then come back (I work in real estate and have flexible schedule). Also my mom works from home and she will be helping me with pet care. We live together so this way we have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day - and someone is always around. I can easily accommodate their usual schedules, from regular walks and mealtimes to play sessions and cozy breaks. I want every pet in my care to feel relaxed, secure, and loved, just as they would at home. Every pet has a unique personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding what makes them happy and comfortable. Before a stay, I like to learn about your pet’s age, breed, temperament, daily routine, feeding schedule, and favorite activities. It’s also important for me to know about any medical needs, medications, fears, or triggers so I can provide attentive, individualized care. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible and ensure your pet feels safe, understood, and at ease.
“Enrique took great care of our pup while we were out of town for a week. He was responsive, sent pictures and updates the whole time. I would definitely book with Enrique again!!”
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“I’m so glad we found Devin. He took such great care of our sweet but anxious pup for a week. He was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos. He clearly loves dogs and went above and beyond!”
“Amazing Person. Most importantly for him dogs are like his children. We left our little puppy overnight for the first time. We were worried at first but after meeting him, there is such a positive loving vibe about the way he handles dogs that we were able to sleep without any stress. Zoey has come back all energetic and happy ??”
“This was our second time leaving Nipsey & Rosie with Lindsey, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! Lindsey and her family take such wonderful care of our dogs and treat them with so much love and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We’re truly so thankful we found Lindsey and couldn’t recommend her enough! Nipsey & Rosie are always so happy and well cared for when they’re with her.”
“Teresa was wonderful with our dog, who can be a bit nervous in new situations. He settled in quickly thanks to her calm approach, and it’s clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. We’re very grateful and would happily book with Teresa again!”
“Auggie and I had an amazing experience with Heather and her family. This was the first time my pup had stayed with anyone new outside of my own family, so I was a little nervous about him being anxious. We did a meet-and-greet the week before, and Heather (and her very sweet family) made me feel completely comfortable and confident. During the stay, I received many fantastic, detailed updates and photos of Auggie’s long weekend of fun. Heather has great, well fenced yard that Auggie enjoyed many zoomies in - even on the day it rained. Auggie can be challenging to walk in public due to some dog reactivity, but Heather took great care to follow the tips I passed along when I dropped him off and I felt totally at ease. 100/10 would (and absolutely will) be returning again!”
“We love leaving our doggies with Gabby and Maidely! They are always well taken care of, get lots of loves, and enjoy playing with their doggies!”
“Always a great weekend with Sabrina watching Magnolia. I know she’s in great hands and it’s a stress free weekend (especially when I don’t have much service).”
“Jingyi and Kewei took care of Nala over the weekend. They are an excellent sitters. They kept me updated and sent me lots of videos and pictures. Nala looks so happy and comfortable with Jingyi, Kewei and Soju. I will definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Muhan did a fantastic job sitting our cocker (coco), great communication, and absolutely love her attention to detail. Will definitely being using her services in the future and highly recommend.”
“Euitae is very professional and flexible. Vito looked well taken care of and seemed right at home with Euitae and Winston. I’m glad Vito has new friends in the neighborhood!”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”

I cannot recommend Stephanie enough. First of all I needed a last min sitter for a one day business trip and it just so happens she is 1 min away! she is very easy going and flexible to accommodate to our pick up / drop off schedule. I 100% recommend to book her!! If I ever come back I know who to hire. Kuma loves her!
This was our first time using Rover so I was definitely nervous but Darrin, Debra, and Emily are a very welcoming family. The fact that they already have two huskies meant they already knew the loud stubbornness of the breed. They also sent me pictures of my wolves which eased my mind that they were in good hands. Logan and Larry had such a great time because they came back exhausted from all the excitement. I will definitely be using them again!
My dog Koda had a very wonderful time staying at Christabel‘s house for the second time and I definitely will be using her moving forward whenever I go out. if you’re looking for someone who is a second Mom to your pet Christabel is who you want watching them. She treats them as if they were her own.
Andrew took great care of Nuomi. He was communicative, followed my care instructions, and I really appreciated his flexibility on drop off and pick up times. He shared daily updates while I was away for a 3 day wedding. Nuomi loved having access to their fenced backyard and lounging on their comfy couch. I would definitely recommend Andrew to my friends! Thanks again, Andrew!
Alex was great with Tahlia. He loved her like his own. Tahlia was well cared for. Tahlia was very comfortable and happy the minute she met him. Alex also sent me pictures of Tahlia while I was on my trip. Alex Also went out of his was to pick up more food for Tahlia when it ran out. Tahlia enjoyed the back yard and walks. She also loved playing with his dog. Such a warm and friendly person and lovely house. Alex tucked Tahlia in bed every night. Tahlia wanted to stay. I would definitely leave Tahlia with him again. His family was also friendly and care. I would highly recommend Alex. I am so happy and relieved I found Alex
Ahlaunah was so attentive to Dallas while I was away! She sent regular updates with photos of him and their adventures that day! She made me feel reassured each day that he we well taken care of, also evidenced by the photos of him smiling so big! I’m already booking her again for my next travel for work!
Jennifer is always so lovely with Brooklyn, and we feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such caring hands. We’re so grateful to have someone we trust looking after him. Thank you again for taking such good care of him and for the sweetest gift for Brooklyn! Now he’ll have to come on a tropical trip with us so he can wear his new Hawaiian shirt 😂🌺🐶🌞
Jamin is always a fantastic sitter. He follows instructions, communicates well, and is flexible with our schedule. For this trip, our flight had a few delays and was expected to land late. Jamin was kind enough to drive and drop off Diamond back at our home, which was hugely helpful. As always, couldn’t recommend Jamin enough.
Kayla is absolutely fantastic. She has the sweetest daughter who hung out with our pup a ton, I could tell our dog had an amazing time with Kayla and her fam. Kayla was also wonderful with sending photo updates, our dog was being cuddled in most of the photos! Would 1000% rebook with her and we probably will very soon!! Kayla is amazing.
I am extremely satisfied with the service I received during the period my dog was being sat by Yan. Yan was very organized, thorough, friendly and communicative throughout the dog sitting. My dog Luna was definitely in great hands! Thank you Yan! Luna really enjoyed her stay and she will definitely be seeing you soon!
Kenny took great care of our two standard golden doodles during their 10-day stay. He was responsive throughout the booking and periodically sent us updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both of our dogs seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we picked them up. We truly appreciated knowing they were in capable hands and would gladly recommend Kenny to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.

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.
94% of sitters in Harrison 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 Harrison 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 Harrison.
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.

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 Harrison 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.
