“Christine was so great with our puppy, Callie. Callie was there for a full day / night. Christine made sure to keep Callie entertained the entire time. She brought her out with her and kept up with her energy! She provided lots of exercise including walks and a large fenced in backyard. Callie is a puppy and still is not used to sleeping alone, but Christine made sure to stay with Callie until she was calm and comfortable enough for bed time. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit!”
“Sara was great! Our dogs can sometimes be a handful but they got along so well and looked so happy in her care 😊 will definitely be booking again for our next trip!”
“Rudy loved his Rover vacation!!!! Up from GA going with family to the beach in NJ a co-worker recommended Rover. Kristin was the best ever! We visited about a 2 wks before and she let Rudy run around her house and backyard. Rudy fell in love with Kristin. All I worried about was that Rudy wouldn’t want to come home. He was happy to see us but already misses Kristin. I am hoping Kristin will be able to care for Rudy next summer. Thank you Kristin for caring for Rudy and giving my family a stress free week. Loved all the pictures you were kind enough to update us with! Rudy, Ellen and Sean”
“This is a review for the entire family because all of them were such a big part of Lila's great weekend! My dog is high energy and also snuggly like velcro and Anmol and Trupti AND their boys gave her an affectionate, energetic weekend with lots of hugs and lots of play time. Will definitely use them again!”

“Our first time leaving our Charli girl with someone other than family. Alba put my mind to ease right from the start. Charli was not only well taken care of she went to a puppy birthday party and played with other pups her size. Alba sent me updates, pictures and videos daily which also made me feel confident Charli was is great care!! Thank you Alba Charli would love to visit again Leslie”
“My review of Holly is exceptional. I had a last-minute emergency that I had to attend to, and I reached out to Holly, and she responded very quickly. She was willing to meet up with me within 30 to 40 minutes, and experience and professionalism were a perfect match for my three-month-old German shepherd. I would highly recommend her.”

“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”

“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”

About: Your pet gets more than a sitter they get a new best friend! ❤️ Since I work from home, they'll enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Photo updates are always included so you can see all the fun! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who worked as a vet tech many moons ago while I was in nursing school. These days, I work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is also full of fellow animal lovers! We have two dogs, a bunny, a love bird and a bearded dragon, and my two kids absolutely love helping care for our furry (and scaly!) guests. I'm also a bit of a homebody, so spending time at home with animals is truly my happy place. I can't wait to welcome your pet as part of the family! Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priorities! I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I'm always happy to take dogs on leashed walks for extra exercise and enrichment. I can follow your pet's regular feeding schedule, administer medications if needed, and tailor care to their individual needs and personality. Whether they love to play, explore, or simply relax with lots of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!

We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
