About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)
“Very friendly and communicative! Liyuan was very quick to get back and supportive sharing photos throughout our pup's stay. I will certainly be looking to have Luna stay with Liyuan again in the future and am sure Luna's excited for it too!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and even a pet chicken! Today, I’m the proud pet mom of two dogs (Poppy, a sweet pit-hound mix, and Banks, a goofy Great Pyrenees pup) and one curious cat named Sterling. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of playtime or snuggles (depending on their vibe!). Whether your pet needs structured care, a calm companion, or just someone who gets how much they mean to you, I’m here to help. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, or just a cozy companion nearby, I’ll be there — basically at their beck and call! I have a temporary fenced yard enclosed with galvanized steel fencing — it safely contains my two pups during supervised outdoor time. I never leave any dogs outside unsupervised. If you’d prefer your dog stays leashed, I’m more than happy to accommodate that! Inside, my home is set up in a way that allows me to separate your pet from mine if needed, to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
“Marisol was amazing! I even had a last minute family emergency and she was so accommodating and understanding! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She was always sending me pics and videos of my dog bubba! Thank you so much Marisol!??”
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs, and I’ve been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I have a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian who are the best of friends, and we enjoy our twice-daily walks together. I’ve grown up with Rottweilers, so I know exactly how to handle big & small dogs —especially when they’re feeling anxious or need some extra TLC. I work from home 3-4 times a week and always available on weekends, so I’m always around to keep your pet company and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m here to make sure your dog feels loved and cared for, just like my own. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I’m always available to give your pet the attention they need. My own dogs get two daily walks, and I make time for play and snuggles in between. Whether it’s a walk or some quality time, I’m here to ensure your pet feels loved and cared for all day. I make sure your pet feels right at home, whether they’re here with me or in your home. My place is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I keep a close eye on them, ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. At your home, I stick to your pet’s routine and follow any special instructions to keep them feeling secure and loved.
“Sebastian was a great host for Attie through the holidays! We got updates every day and Sebastian was always super communicative about how she was doing and getting along with the other dogs. Attie loved the outdoor space and she came back to us a happy pup at the end of her stay. We are excited for Attie to stay with Sebastian again the next time we're in the area!”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“This was the first time I have used overnight pet care for my 1 1/2 year old golden, Josie. The overall experience for both Josie and myself was excellent. David was quick to respond to any questions and sent me pictures and updated several times throughout the day. I will definitely be using David again and would highly recommend him to others.”
“Polina was our first experience using Rover and we couldn't be happier. Our dog was safe with Polina and he was clearly treated as one of the family. We received multple pictures each day of him having a great time. She got creative when he wouldn't eat the first night. When we picked him up, her genuine affection for him was evident. We will definitely choose Polina to care for our teasured pet again.”
“Sassy had a great stay with Dette and Trevor! She was showered with love and affection. We were kept updated with pictures, videos and emails daily. They even reached out to us and the Rover.com medical staff when she developed a cough. Sassy can’t wait to stay with the family again and I would recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog!”
“Jillian and her family are wonderful! Clearly very caring and capable. They provided lots of attention and activities and I honestly think our dog had fun staying with them. Great communication! Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
About: Since I was a freshman in highschool I have been trusted with taking care of many of my neighbors pets. Small dogs, medium dogs, big dogs, I love them all! From ages 5-16 I had a boxer dog who was the light of my life! Since then I nourish my love for dogs and animals through volunteering at OSCAR in my spare time and caring for pets in the communities near me. I currently will soon start working part-time at a country club however schedules vary week to week but consist of 3 day work weeks with shifts from 10-3 or 3-9. Any days apart from days I am working, I am free whenever! I have a 2 story house with a large fenced backyard and no pets. I live in a friendly neighborhood with parks nearby! I am very cautious, careful, and responsible so a dogs safety is a big priority of mine.
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Hopatcong
Chris cared for our dog several times over the last month. Our dog had some minor medical issues but that didn't phase Chris at all! Now when we pull in the driveway, our dog can't wait to jump out and head into the house! Chris always responds promptly and his love for dogs is very obvious. It's very nice that he takes only one dog at a time and has a "mi casa es su casa " attitude when they are in the house. His dog Bunker is easy to get along with and the fenced yard is a plus. We plan to use Chris again....(and again...!)
David was amazing in taking care of our pup while we were gone. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process. He was consistently giving updates which was was very calming as this was my first time being away from my pup. Would highly recommend David and will definitely be using his services again!
I cannot recommend Maria enough! She did a phenomenal job caring for my dog in her home. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in loving and capable hands. She provided a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where he clearly felt comfortable and happy. What impressed me most was her flexibility and kindness—when my flight was delayed, she kept him without hesitation and with such understanding. That level of care and consideration gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. It’s obvious she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats the dogs as if they were her own. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter.

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.
