“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Angie was absolutely amazing with our 6-month-old puppy! She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, showing his playtime and how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Angie again. Highly recommend!”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Kate was great and was so flexible with our crazy holiday travel plans. She sent frequent photos and assured me my dog was doing just fine. She was communicative, prompt and was a total life saver for us! Would absolutely book with Kate and her sweet family again.”
“I was so grateful Tanacka agreed to watch Mimi last minute. I was happy her children showed Mimi so much attention. She thrives off of attention. Mimi was not ready to leave. Thank you Tanacka for taking good care of Mimi!”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“Jenn was fantastic with our pup for a short notice boarding request for a few nights. We did a meet & greet beforehand and our pup was immediately comfortable and happy to be with her! She sent pictures, videos, and updates while we were away so we still felt connected and in the loop. She gave him tons of exercise and love so he felt right at home 🥰 Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”

Thank you so much for watching Rocky. He was so happy when I picked him up. Doug & Luis were so pleasant and welcoming. Rocky immediately gravitated to Luis and Doug. This was my first overnight without my dog and I am glad that it was with Doug and Luis. Doug consistently communicated and sent pics with Rocky and friends. Thank you and I will be recommending and using again. Naj
Melanie has watched our Bella twice, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She is incredibly kind, caring, reliable, and attentive. Bella was comfortable and happy in her care. We felt completely at ease knowing Bella was in such loving and capable hands. It means so much to have someone we can truly trust with our furry family member. We would absolutely recommend M to anyone looking for a wonderful and dependable dog sitter!

Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃
Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.
Had such a wonderful experience with Johara as a dog sitter! From the very beginning, the attentiveness and genuine care for my 2 dogs was evident. Time was devoted to understand each of their personalities and routines, which made me feel completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the special treats—it was such a sweet gesture, and my pups absolutely loved it! I was also kept updated with frequent messages, and photos, which gave much peace of mind while away. I will happily book again. Highly recommended, Johara!
I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!
Klainer took very good care or our Lulu with daily photos and updates. She was always very quick to reply to all my messages. She also followed the various guidelines we gave her to best care for our dog. Between her and her cousin, there was almost always someone at home with Lulu which put us at ease.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Irvington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Irvington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Irvington 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 Irvington.
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 and your Irvington 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.
