“Nantikan were very prompt in communications and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent us photos and kept us up to date. Much appreciated!”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Amy watched my babies while my family and I were away on vacation. Our flight back home wound up getting cancelled and she watched them for an additional two days, with no problems at all. She did such an amazing job , that when I walked in my pups weren’t even happy to see me… lol They literally looked at each other and I could tell by the look they were saying “aw man does this mean we have to go home now?” I highly recommend Amy! She was so awesome with sending pictures, and loving my pups, she was easy to get along with, and she was so understanding when things arose like my flight getting cancelled. She is absolutely a 5 STAR pup sitter for sure! I will never go to anyone else! Thank you so much Amy!”
“Katie was great with my Simba. He's a big dog, but she was completely comfortable with him. He was so happy in her home for the three nights that he stayed. Everything went smoothly. Katie kept me updated with how he was doing and sent photos of him daily. Thank you Katie!! It was a relief to not have to worry about him while we were away.”
“Adrienne cared for our George as if he were her own. She was very communicative. She took George out to various events and he seemed relaxed in her care. I would 100% use her in the future and highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”
“Kristen took great care of our dog Merlin! She was new to us and he seemed to settle right in and enjoyed having the company of a kid since he was used to a kid at home.”
“Kevin and Vanessa were great sitters for our dog, Duke. I was kept informed through pictures and comments during my entire vacation. I would recommend them and will use them again. It's so important to feel comfortable with a sitter when you are leaving them with someone and we did.”
About: I’m looking for extra income and I figured what better way than to do something I love and enjoy, caring for and playing with fur babies! I have always had a dog from the time I was little and even now I have a 3 fur babies of my own. I see animals as our family, not just a pet. Our fur babies and fur ever friends are very important and deserve the best care which I’m willing to provide! I will follow all of the owners instructions, be patient and kind with your pet, and make them as happy and comfortable as possible! I look forward to helping with the care of your special fur baby! For now I am only offering drop ins and walks but plan to offer boarding at a later time. I’m open to meet and greets if that is something that would make the process more comfortable for both the owner and pet.
“I hope to keep using Bri as Denver’s second home. She’s so reliable. Not sure how many times I’ve booked with her. There’s a reason why we don’t look elsewhere. Thank you always Bri!”
“This was our dog’s second stay with Carley. Our dog was so excited to see Carley again, which made us feel great. The two of them had a great time together. As before, Carley kept us informed and sent photos while we were away. Our dog had great care while we were away, and we had peace of mind. We highly recommend Carley as a sitter!”
“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”
“Ryan was very communicative throughout the whole stay, he sent photos and videos, and my dog had so much fun! definitely recommend. it’s hard leaving your dogs and especially if you don’t always have many options of people you know personally to watch them, so when you come across someone with a dog to play with yours, a big yard, and keeps you in the loop it’s definitely a win.”
“She took my dog in last minute and Liz is awesome. My dog was super comfortable in her home. Love her dog Kylo! She kept me updated on a daily basis and my dog loves her ! Will use her again for future sitting needs !”
“Aubrey did another amazing job with my baby Rylee. I went on a trip to Europe and knew that my Rylee would be in safe loving hands with Aubrey. She sent me daily updates of how my girl was doing which made me feel good hearing about her day while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jaclyn and Roxy’s Kennel did an amazing job watching our fur baby Luna. Our Luna is a high energy schnauzer that loves to play with the ball and Jaclyn and her family did just that, played with her until her heart content. Jaclyn kept me updated on her status and sent pictures throughout her stay. I would highly recommend Jaclyn and Roxy’s Kennel and plan to use them again in the near future. Thank you Jaclyn 🤗🐾”
“Stephanie took great care of our senior dog for 3 days and 2 nights while we were away. In addition to feeding and walking her, Stephanie also gave her medication and wiped her skin per our vets orders. Our girl was very comfortable for her stay! Thank you, Stephanie!”
“David and Phyllis were wonderful in accommodating our unique situation and went above and beyond to make sure Cassie felt comfortable in their home. Communication was excellent—not only with us but also with our friend who had been caring for Cassie during the month. They kept us well informed and made sure we received updates on how Cassie was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and the loving care they gave Cassie.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson
🐾❤️ An Absolutely Wonderful First Experience! ❤️🐾 Michelle was absolutely amazing with our two fur babies, Chester (our Dachshund) and Mazie (our Chi-Weenie)! This was their very first visit, so naturally, the pups were a little nervous… and, truth be told, so were we! Leaving your fur babies somewhere new for the first time is never easy. Michelle was wonderful from the start. She gave Chester and Mazie some time to settle in, get comfortable, and find their paws. Communication was great, which made us feel even more at ease while they were in her care. When we picked them up, it was clear they had a great time! Not only were they happy, but they were comfortably hanging out and mingling with the rest of the pack. That told us everything we needed to know! 🐶🐶 Thank you, Michelle, for giving Chester and Mazie such a wonderful first experience and, just as importantly, for making David and me feel comfortable and confident leaving our precious fur babies in your care. ❤️ We couldn't have asked for a better introduction, and we look forward to bringing them back! With appreciation and lots of puppy love, Barbara & David Young 🐾❤️

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.

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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson.
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 Jackson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Jackson 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.
