“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”
“Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up with a beloved Maltese who lived to a happy, healthy 17 years old, so I am deeply familiar with the dedicated care, patience, and attention that senior dogs and smaller breeds require. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience pet-sitting a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including: High-Energy & Large Breeds: Mini Goldendoodles Small & Toy Breeds: Toy Poodles, Bichons, and Maltese Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who loves to play or a sweet senior who just wants to curl up next to my desk while I work, I know how to adapt to their specific routine and comfort levels. I live in a fantastic, dog-friendly apartment complex that is perfectly set up for a guest pup’s staycation: On-Site Dog Park: Right inside my complex, perfect for safe, enclosed playtime and socializing (if permitted). Great Walking Paths: Plenty of safe, sidewalk-lined areas right outside my door for frequent, structured potty breaks and refreshing walks. Constant Supervision: Because my job keeps me glued to my home office, your dog will never be left unattended. They will have full run of the apartment, plenty of couch cuddles, and a flexible schedule that revolves entirely around their needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home! Because we both work from home full-time, our entire daily and weekly routine is built around flexibility. We are in the home 24/7, meaning your dog will receive constant, uninterrupted attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Our schedule adapts completely to your dog’s natural routine, not the other way around. If their normal day requires a midday walk, specific feeding windows, or medication, we mirror that exactly. Best of all, because there are two of us, we operate as a team—if one of us is in a deep-focus work meeting or running a quick errand, the other is right there to step in. We are fully available for full-time boarding and dedicated to making our home your pup's favorite staycation. We focus entirely on providing a safe, low-stress, and highly attentive environment in our home. Because we don’t have a resident dog of our own, your pup gets our undivided love and the run of the apartment. Here is exactly how we ensure a safe and trustworthy stay: Continuous Supervision: Since we both work from home full-time, your dog is never left alone or uncrated in an empty apartment. We double-team our schedules, meaning there is always someone available to supervise playtime, monitor behaviors, and offer comfort. A Secure, Tailored Environment: Before any guest arrives, we ensure our apartment is fully dog-proofed. We carefully match our home's setup to your dog’s usual habits—whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, curling up in a dedicated dog bed, or claiming a spot right next to our office desks. Active & Safe Outings: For bathroom breaks and exercise, we utilize the excellent walking paths around our complex. If your dog loves to socialize, we have access to our complex's secure, on-site dog park. However, we only do park play or interactions with other dogs if you explicitly give us the green light. Strict Routine Management: We strictly adhere to the feeding schedules, portion sizes, and potty routines your dog is used to at home to avoid any digestive upset or anxiety.
About: I’ve been providing pet care for years and have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I also have over 100 five-star testimonials from past clients on another platform that I’m happy to share upon request. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral medications and injections such as insulin, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to keep pets happy and healthy. I work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and one-on-one care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is being cared for as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, outdoor time, and keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged. I can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away. I’m up early and very active throughout my day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. After years of providing pet boarding, I’ve intentionally adapted my home to create a safe environment for visiting pets. I have secure locking pet gates to safely block access to stairways when needed, non-slip stair grips to help prevent slips and falls, and indoor security cameras that allow me to monitor pets and review any unexpected situations if necessary. Because I work from home, pets receive constant supervision, individualized attention, and very little time alone. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions, to help them feel comfortable and at ease. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive, personalized care.
“Teresa was fantastic. Gave us updates with photos, has a great environment for the dogs, and most importantly, our dog came back without any behavioral changes. Just the same happy dog we dropped off.”
“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.”
“This is my second time using Yuberkis and I continue to be very happy with her service. Our pups come home happy and healthy. She also provides pictures throughout the stay which is super helpful. Will continue to have her look after my digs in the future!”
“Neide was perfect. My family and I went on a trip for 4 days and she picked Melo up and took great care of him. She sent me pictures of Melo and constantly gave me updates on him. Melo got home safe and happy to be home. Highly recommend Neide”
“Stacia was great! Couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Leo is a rescue that we have had for a short period of time and we were feeling very hesitant about leaving him with someone we didn't know. Stacia made Leo feel at home immediately and gave him a lot of attention. We received messages, pictures and videos daily. Our Leo looked extremely happy, jumping and running all day and even fell in ? with another doggo. We got Leo back healthy and clean. Will definitely use Stacia again in the future. Thanks Stacia for all of your love towards our furbaby”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“Jia took amazing care of Milo. I'm so glad she was able to take care of him and have availability with such short notice. I got daily updates + videos and photos which we really appreciated. Would definitely have Milo stay with her again!”
“Cheyenne was very patient with Jeremiah. He was hiding most of the time he was with her. Yet she still would find him and send us pictures daily. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“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. 🫶🐶😃”
“I’m usually very nervous about leaving Benji, he’s wary of strangers and takes a long time to warm up. That’s why I was genuinely surprised at how quickly he trusted Akshay. While I was away, Akshay was consistently responsive and communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also extremely flexible and worked with me on dropoff/ pickup, which made everything easier. It’s obvious he truly cares about animals and has a lot of empathy; Sirus’s excellent manners are a reflection of that. When Benji got injured, it was heartwarming to see how much Akshay truly cared. He continued to check in even weeks after the booking ended to see how he was doing. I find it difficult to find people with his level of transparency who build a lot of trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“We are so grateful for the great care Jacqueline and her family took of our pup for a whole week. She communicated with us daily to give us updates and sent us pictures and videos and reassured us she was doing great. She came home so calm and happy. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Javier was super helpful and watched our puppy for an overnight stay when we came from out of town. He was flexible with the schedule and taking care of our puppy. He was responsive and communicated often. Our puppy was well cared for. Thank you!”

I am very happy with Caroline, she was very welcoming and we did a visit before actual booking. This was my fist time using this service. I definitely RECOMMEND booking Caroline she was amazing she sends plenty of updates and photos. My Hart had an awesome time. Thank you Caroline you are the best.❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽
Doug, Luiz & the Ink & Tails crew Did an amazing job caring for our one year old Bernadoodle and our 13 year old chihuahua. They were attentive, provided frequent updates, and most importantly treated our pets with the love and care they have for their own. We are lucky we found them and will definitely be using their services again in the future. 🐶
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful experience with Jody! I recently had Jody watch my three schnauzers (two males and one female) overnight for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. My dogs are typically pretty nervous, especially in new environments, and this was their first overnight stay away from me in years, so I was a little anxious going in. Jody put me completely at ease. He made my dogs feel comfortable in his home right away and sent me photos throughout their stay, which I really appreciated. When I picked them up on Sunday, they were happy and relaxed — not the nervous, clingy behavior I expected. It was clear they’d had a genuinely good experience. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my dogs, especially since they can be particular about new people and places. Highly recommend Jody to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!

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.
We had a wonderful experience! They provided tons of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Simba felt completely safe and comfortable, and he absolutely loved having their pet dog Sirius as a companion to play with. When we picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for better care!
My little Muffin had a blast. I booked with Julhiffer again and while I was on vacation she always kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics of my dog having a ball. She creates such a warm and animal friendly atmosphere! She is amazing ! Thank you again!
Breanna was an amazing sitter. I received so many picture updates and she was very inquisitive and caring in learning about my dog and his needs. One of the first times that I had no doubt that he was in amazing hands. I will definitely be rebooking and making her my go to sitter!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,395 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Irvington. About 88% of Irvington 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
