“Meredith did a great job with my dog, Otis. He came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. She communicated clearly, was easy to work with, and flexible with my work schedule. I’ll definitely book with her again if she’s available. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and love every minute of it! I also have experience fostering dogs for many years, which has taught me how to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy giving dogs the attention and care they need while their family is away. As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience with dogs and love making sure each one feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️
“Mac had the best day ever with Madison and kiddos! He slept and slept and slept when he got home. What a beautiful family! Your pup will be pampered and loved in this happy home. 😊”
“Brian was fantastic he had an amazing atmosphere and house for our puppy to play all day and feel safe. I would definitely recommend him! Our 8 month old hound puppy and him got along great!”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! She responded to all of my messages quickly and answered any questions I had. My dog immediately felt at home when I dropped her off and didn’t miss me at all! Jessica gave me pictures and updates throughout the day, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for over six years now! I am dedicated to making sure the dogs have the best experience in my home and stay safe while you're away. I can dog boarding any day of the week, and dog sitting Monday through Friday and also Sunday 8am-5:30pm. If outside of these time you can always send me a message and make something work! I take following instructions on taking care of your pups very seriously. Whenever your scheduled feeding times are, potty breaks, play time schedules, etc., will be done accordingly. I have a large grass area outside my apartment where I can take your pups out for frequent play and potty breaks.
“Carly was fantastic! Moose was so happy to be there - went on a nice walk in the morning and playtime in during the day. He was wiped when he got home and a happy boy! He is going back tomorrow!! Highly recommend”
“Rachel was an amazing host for our Cleo. She made sure to know any special needs of our dog and also has a house that is very pet friendly. Lots of beds and toys for the pups to play with. Our dog loves the company of other dogs so her and Rachel’s dog got along like sisters. Rachel was kind enough to plan a day of activities for Cleo, taking her to a few dog parks and a nature walk (Rachel sends photos often so you can be aware of what they are up to). Cleo was happy and exhausted from the good time she had at Rachel’s and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog and care taker. Will be looking forward to having Cleo stay with Rachel again when we’re in the area.”

About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years. I no longer have any pets of my own and would love to fill the house with yours. Your dogs will be at home here with full run of the house. I live in a quiet community with a beautiful yard on a duck pond. We'll take long walks, sit outside, play with toys and enjoy cuddle time on the couch or bed. I'd be happy to take them to the local dog park to get their energy out. I’ll send plenty of videos and pictures so you can see your baby while you’re apart. I'm now retired and will be home most of the time, outside of pickleball at my community club house and short errands. Would love to meet your puppy or chat details about their stay. I am mostly home, aside from short errands and can walk your dog based on desired schedule. The dog is allowed on the furniture and can sleep in bed or we can bring their bed or crate into the bedroom. I will take them on walks around the neighborhood and play with toys. I can also provide visits to the local dog park upon request.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Howell commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
