“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”
“Julissa and her sister took great care of sparky. He came up tired and had a great time playing with them. They also sent pictures of him. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Kristen was amazing! I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and found her. Her great reviews sold me on choosing her and it was the right choice. Very communicative and sent lots of photos! 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!”
“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”
“I had such a wonderful first-time dog-sitting experience thanks to Starry and Gio. They are absolutely awesome and took amazing care of Billion. It's like a winter camp for him. I got tons of cute photos and message updates, which kept me totally worry-free the whole time. I would highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Grace is amazing, professional, and took very good care of my 14 year old lab. She went above and beyond our expectations to ensure my dog felt comfortable! The only downside was or dog didn’t want to leave her! 🩷”
“Lucas and Katherine were phenomenal! They sent videos and pictures the entire time my baby was with them. You could tell they really love dogs and she was so happy to be with them. It was great to know that she was being well cared for and loved.”
“Lauren and her family have been wonderful caretakers for my Mason! I have used her several times and have nothing but great things to say about them. I can leave for vacation and feel good knowing that my dog is loved and well taken care of.”
“Bill met our dog in advance and had good interactions and clear communication about the setup and procedures. He was also knowledgeable about dog care and easy to work with.”
“This was our second time using Jacqueline and we have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of our dog! Great communication and our pup comes home very relaxed and happy.”
“Katie was great!!! She was super accommodating and watched my dog for about 11 days who isn’t dog friendly and typically doesn’t like men. I was super impressed that she has her home prepared to take care of dogs. I felt assured when I saw that she had a full door sized gate at the top of her stairs so that her dog and my dog are safely separated. I got pictures often to see how he was doing. My dog is a cuddle bug in which he got plenty of cuddles with Katie. I will totally reach out to her again. Thanks again Katie!”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“This was Bandit’s first time with Courtney, Sherwood and Spike! They were so wonderful and super responsive when I checked in! Provided plenty of updates and pictures! Will definitely be back with this wonderful family!! ?”
“Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iselin
Bonnie and her husband were amazing with our dog. He had some anxiety and distrust in the beginning. Yet the Sitters settled him down, reassured him that all is okay under their care, and became best friends towards the end. Bonnie sent photos to us daily and wrote about their days. We are appreciative of all you did with our dog. Good job and thank you!
Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.
Michael did an amazing job watching Doodle! You could tell he genuinely adores dogs, lots of toys, a comfy bed, and he even took her on some fun outings while I was gone. Doodle had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend him if you want someone who treats your pup like family!
Rodger and his family were excellent caretakers. He was patient and understanding with our anxious dog. He provided ample updates on how our dog was doing sending videos and photos regularly which offered us comfort as we missed our dog while on vacation. The best video was seeing Rye play like he does at home which made us so happy to see. We’d definitely book with Rodger again in the future. I’m sure Rye would be happy to spend time with his new friend again!
Sharisbel was so patient with my Louis. She even has a dog of her own and they got along so good. Louis did get emotional because he missed us but Sharisbel was very patient, made sure she walked him played with him and showed him love. We will definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you soooo much. You are the best!

My family and I were going away for 9 days and I didn’t want to board my dog Stormi for so long. I needed more personal care so that I could have a relaxing vacation. We met first with Stormi at Jiinjie’s home and Stormi was comfortable right away. She has great energy and her home is pet friendly with a fenced yard and space for a dog to play. She sent me pictures every day and communicated how Stormi was coming along. This really put me at ease because my dog thrives on attention. I appreciated all the videos and pictures, thank you so much Jinjie!!!

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.
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 Iselin 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 Iselin 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 Iselin.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Iselin. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Iselin 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.
