About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.

“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Had the pleasure of booking my cat's (Barbie) stay with Jia C. for the first time. Jia was amazing, kind and her care was beyond exceptional. We really appreciated how Jia made sure to send us updates on how Barbie was doing, and was prompt with her responses. She was even accommodating and flexible to our needs. Jia allowed us to have a stress free vacation, knowing our cat was in good hands. Thank you so much and we hope to book her again sometime in the future. 😊”
“John is caring, reliable, and super responsive. What more can I say? Our terrier has been in very good hands with him--for two separate overnights as well as a seven-day stay.”

“So happy with Susan’s dog-sitting ☺️ this is my second time leaving my dog with Susan and on the drive there, my dog could not contain her excitement once she realized where she was going. Susan is communicative, kind and attentive. I trust her wholeheartedly with my pup and will book again!”

I had to go for surgery and was in the hospital for over a week and then Rehab for over two weeks and she took such great care of him. That was one thing I did not have to worry about when I came to pick him up. He was well fed well groomed, and very happy. I cannot say how great she was.
Jenni is an amazing pet sitter! The perfect dog mom replacement for when I need to leave Gus behind. She is very communicative and sent wonderful update photos. Gus is a nervous nelly and gets a little bit of separation anxiety and by the second update picture, I could tell he was already relaxed with her.
I can't recommend Darrin and Debra enough! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine stayed consistent, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but also truly passionate about animals. I will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
From the moment leo was dropped off, I knew he was in great hands. Miasha took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Leo was treated with so much love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciated the excellent communication and how much she cared about his comfort and happiness. I would absolutely trust her with Leo again and highly recommend miasha to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Brooklyn! She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly patient and understanding with his little quirks, and it was clear he was well cared for and loved. She even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed, which we were so grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 🐾💛
Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
Angela was amazing! We were away for three days and she looked after our two miniature Schnauzers like they were her own. She kept sending us updates the whole time with our pups happy and playing, which honestly made the trip so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. She made sure we felt totally at ease leaving them with her, and you can just tell she really knows what she’s doing. We had such a great experience and will definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend! 🐾

There are 14,461 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Kearny. About 88% of Kearny 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.

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.

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.
