“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Lindsey is a very responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Mango like a member of her own family and made sure he was happy, healthy, and well cared for throughout his stay. She took care of all his daily needs and responsibilities with great attention and love. I believe Mango will miss her family when he goes home, and I’m sure he will be looking forward to seeing them and reconnecting with them again next time!”
“Jamin did an amazing job watching my 10 year old pitbull for 2 weeks, he was very flexible with me on drop off and pick up times, kept me updated, and went out of his way to care for my dog, book him with confidence, your pup will thank you. 10 stars !!!”
“Georgi had a great time at Maryn’s. Maryn was very communicative throughout and sent pictures/videos regularly. She was very patient with my somewhat anxious dog who has a harder time when away, with eating, settling at night, etc. Thanks so much for everything. We already have two more stays booked. Definitely recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing sitters! Extremely professional and considerate. I was nervous to leave my dog with new people but they offered a meet and greet days in advanced, had me complete a questionnaire on his feeding, preferences, quirks etc. And provided me with daily updates including pictures. I was able to travel at ease knowing he was in safe hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Snickers.”
“Mike and Ahmed always take excellent care of Dolly and she comes home from each stay happy and tuckered out from all the activity. Dolly managed to get some scratches from another dog just prior to her stay and Mike and Ahmed didn’t even blink at the request to keep ointment on them to help them heal. We’re so happy Dolly has such a great home away from home!”
“Nathalie made our vacation easy as always. Maya enjoys her time here and we can relax while we're away knowing Maya is not having a difficult time. Nathalie is always friendly and helpful in case we have changes to our plans.”
“Rosemeri is amazing! She went above and beyond with our chihuahua Molly. She is definitely an animal lover, our dog warmed up to her immediately. Always quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog is a bit needy but I saw from all of the updates that she received so many cuddles and attention. It was such a good feeling to know our dog was so well taken care of while we were away.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I have hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and always take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and boundaries. I’ve also attended professional dog training classes with my own dog, which has given me a better understanding of canine behavior, safe handling, basic training techniques, and how to stay calm and respond appropriately in unexpected situations. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits. I follow care instructions closely and prioritize safety and clear communication at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training and reinforcement, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I’m patient with shy or cautious dogs and never force interactions before they’re comfortable. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend most of my week working from home. My mom is also home throughout the week, so there is almost always someone at home with the pets. I typically go into the office from around 9 AM to 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This means pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can enjoy regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also do my best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I share my home with a friendly neutered male cat and a small neutered male poodle. Both are accustomed to other animals. I provide a clean, comfortable home environment and have separate spaces available when pets need quiet time or a little space of their own. Safety is always my priority. I supervise interactions between pets, follow each owner’s instructions closely, and respect every dog’s individual routine and boundaries. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates throughout their stay.
“Yuberkis was wonderful with my Frenchie, Quinney. She starts the boarding process with a Meet & Greet and asks important questions so she will know how to care for your fur baby. Drop off was easy, keep her posted when you are nearby or on your way. Yuberkis provided daily photos and videos and allowed my dog to jump on the furniture and sleep in bed. My dog is a cuddler, so he loved it! I highly recommend Yuberkis!”
“Frances took great care of our dog. She works from home so he got a week of full attention. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Very nice person and animal lover.”
“Sal and Troy went above and beyond with our high energy pup, Theo! This was Theo’s third time staying with them, and each time he goes in excited and comes back happy and healthy. They do a great job keeping us updated throughout his visit and are very responsive to texts. My husband and I had a travel emergency this time around, and Sal and Troy were both extremely accommodating and graciously offered to keep Theo an extra night at no additional charge. We are so lucky to have found them and plan to continue using their services when our puppy needs a sitter!”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“My first expierence with the Rover and I couldn't be happy enough with Fanya's care. My dog looked so well and happy which made me relieved throughout my vacation. Enjoyed seeing photos from Fanya. She is so kind and sweet! Thank you so much Fanya!!!”
“Amanda was incredibly kind, flexible and communicative. This was the very first time I have ever left my elderly dog with anyone outside of close family and I highly recommend Amanda and her family. I was able to take my trip without any stress whatsoever. Thank you Amanda!”
“Chi-wing and his partner treated my senior dog like tiny royalty. She is very attached to us but she had a great time with them! Definitely recommend if you have a tiny, clingy, older dog ❤️”
“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!”

It was a pleasure meeting Enrique and having my boy Lucky with him for a last minute overnight stay. Enrique was very communicative from the meet and greet to when he was actually with my pup. Lucky came home happy and smiling. Would not hesitate to book with Enrique again!
Hsin and Phil were very responsive and caring during Brooklyn’s stay. They kept sharing pictures and regular updates with us, which gave us great peace of mind while we were in Turkey. We could tell that Brooklyn really enjoyed his time with them and felt comfortable in their home. We’d definitely book with them again in the future. Highly recommend!
Shannel did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Macy! ❤️ She was so caring, attentive, and gentle with her, and we could tell that Macy was happy and comfortable in her care. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Shannel to everyone!
Yan did an amazing job caring for our dog, Peach! She was incredibly detailed in her care, and truly went above and beyond. She was extremely responsive and made sure to send pictures of Peach while we were away, which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Yan if you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter!
Yunyi J. took wonderful care of our Yorkie, Haneuel, from August 14th to August 30th! She did an excellent job keeping in touch with us throughout the stay, regularly uploading pictures and thoughtful updates. We were especially grateful when she spotted a dental issue with our dog; her attentiveness caught our attention so we can schedule a vet appointment soon. Yunyi is reliable, observant, and genuinely cares for the pets in her charge. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!
Rosemeri was an absolute gem for me and my lil senior furry girl. I was stressed to leave for a week when my plans fell through and she responded quickly was flexible with a meet and greet. She has a beautiful set up. She loved on Sophie, when running out of food she provided and sent us home with a little for the road. She sent photos and provided updates regularly. When we were leaving Sophie ran back to her (I think 😂🫣) and was a good sign that Sophie was well cared for. If we lived closer I would be back regularly but it’s worth the drive.
Lindsey is a very responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Mango like a member of her own family and made sure he was happy, healthy, and well cared for throughout his stay. She took care of all his daily needs and responsibilities with great attention and love. I believe Mango will miss her family when he goes home, and I’m sure he will be looking forward to seeing them and reconnecting with them again next time!
Maisha was absolutely amazing with Honey! Her communication was great from start to finish. She was very responsive, kept me updated throughout Honey’s stay, and sent plenty of pictures, which I really appreciated. She took Honey on walks, made sure she was comfortable, and truly treated her like she was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Honey was being well cared for while we were away. I would definitely book with Maisha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐾
From booking his stay to picking up my dog after my trip, Christabel was communicative and trustworthy. In the initial visit to her apartment, it was evident it was very clean, safe, and stylish. She proactively asked for documentation needed in case of emergency which is thoughtful. Throughout my dogs stay I received numerous photos and videos of him being walked or lounging, and he didn’t seem anxious like he usually is in new situations. He stopped eating like I mentioned to her, and she went out to get a different wet food for him which he loved! She also got him a small ball at the same time to try a new toy. I have used more expensive pet boarding services in the past, and decided to try rover to save money. Im glad to say the service provided by Christabel was so personable and comforting I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands.
Sonya was amazing with our doggie Kylo. This is Kylo’s first time away from home and familiar faces so he was anxious. Sonya made sure to treat him like her own and kept me up to date on his stay. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing sitting services and her doggie also made Kylo feel welcomed.
Moonyoung and Sunhyung took such wonderful care of our dog Nova. From the very begining, they were thoughful, kind and caring. They asked all the right questions and really took the time to understand Nova's needs and personality. They provided daily updates on how Nova was doing along with a few pictures! It was clear they genuienly cared about her and treated her like their own. I highly recommend them and will definitely call on them again to care for our girl!
Jordano was wonderful! He sent regular updates on my pup (Doc Holliday) and was very patient and understanding while he adjusted to a new place. Jordano and his mom took exceptional care of Doc and showed him lots of love and attention. They even went above and beyond by giving him a bath and getting him a couple extra toys. All in all, it was a phenomenal experience. Definitely recommend!
Our family had an amazing experience with Gisselle! From the moment we booked, she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable. She kept us updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was seeing how genuinely happy our dogs were. They absolutely adored Gisselle, and they had such a great time with her sweet dog too! It was clear they were treated like part of the family, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, we can’t recommend Gisselle enough. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

As of September 2026, there are 14,041 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kearny. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Kearny 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 Kearny 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 Kearny 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 Kearny.
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 Kearny 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.
