“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”

About: I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and can provide reliable feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic daily care. I am also comfortable being patient with shy or anxious pets and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other needs to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they have access to fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident and at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.

“I can't say enough good things about Anoti! She and her family welcomed Dante with open arms and really made him feel at home. Dante is very high-energy, and Anoti accommodated nicely with plenty of long walks. I could see from the photos how much fun Dante was having and how much love he was getting. I would definitely seek out Anoti for our future boarding needs!”

“This was the first time our 14 year old rat terrier had stayed with anyone but a family member. It was easy to locate Brandon on Rover and to arrange for a meet. Brandon has a dog of his own and both dogs made friends immediately. Brandon’s inside play area for the dogs was clean and spacious. There was a park adjacent to his apartment, so we were confident that all would work out well. After an initial getting settled in, everything was fine. During our 3week stay in France, Brandon reliably sent us info and photos of our dog. We will be happy to use Brandon the next time we’re away and highly recommend him. Roseann Latsko”

“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”

Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!”

“This is our first time utilizing Rover to board our pug Yoshi, who is 12. Susana ensured that we received pictures and short videos of Yoshi through the day and while/after he had his dinner. She was very responsive when we asked questions such if ate all his food, was drinking water and he was sleeping through the night. We felt very comfortable with Susana and this helped with the stress of leaving our senior dog while we were on vacation. We are so happy to have found Susana to take care of Yoshi. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”

This was our first time leaving Leo. We were very anxious of how Leo would cope with the separation. Dhara and family took extremely good care of him and provided us with constant updates. They gave him timely meals and walked him. They treated Leo as they would treat their own. I would without any hesitation leave Leo with the family and not have second thoughts about it.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Helmetta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Helmetta is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 2,823 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Helmetta. About 90% of Helmetta sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
