“Paola did a phenomenal job caring for our Kody. He has minor issues with separation anxiety and Paola made sure he had his medication each day at the appropriate time. She incorporated him right into her household and he fit right in and relaxed immediately. Her and her husband loved him as their own. The pictures and videos she sent made it apparent that Kody was relaxed and having a great time. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Paola and her husband Sebastián. Thanks for loving on him!”
“Monika is an exceptional sitter. We did a meet and greet prior to having her board my dog for a few days and it became obvious very quickly that she has a nack for interpreting each dog's different cues and identifying their needs, in addition to having a strong understanding of how different dogs interact with one another. She was especially comfortable with bigger, stronger dogs and she made me feel confident that my pup was in good hands. She sent updates frequently and always maintained an open line of communication; plus, she was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Overall I would highly recommend Monika to anyone looking for a competent and responsible dog sitter.”
“Mark was an excellent sitter for our dog! He sent frequent and detailed updates with pictures. Mark and his family welcomed Chip into their home and Chip came back happy and tired from having a great time. We'll definitely board with him again!”
“Great experience! Clear communication and frequent updates/ pictures. Ashley and her family were a home away from home for our dog. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Anish & Aaheli were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day—it was reassuring to know he was happy and being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“Laurie, her three kids and two dogs were very good with our dog. She send nearly daily photos and was very flexible with her approach. 5+ stars. We will absolutely use her and family again.”
“Michelle was wonderful with Koda and a great relief for me leaving my dog while I was out of the country for a week. I would recommend her to any dog parent. She sent daily pictures and my dog was healthy and happy. She will be my first choice the next time I cannot take my dog with me.”
“Pam watched Jubilee for 2 weeks and was so flexible accommodating her when I made a mistake on my calendar. She provided updates while I was away and Jubilee always looked so excited and happy! Very grateful I found Pam to watch Jubilee whenever I’m busy or away!”
“Mary and John are knowledgeable about animals. They sent regular updates of photos and videos throughout the stay. It was such a joy knowing my dog was happy and well looked after.”
“Thank you so much for your love and support for Poppy. She has been pampered by you guys. Thanks for all the regular updates and also accommodating us to change the schedule as needed due to unforseen events. We really cherish this and feel at peace that she is in safe hands.”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from walking and bathing to feeding, playing, and cleaning up after them. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also very patient and understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and needs. I currently do not have e a dog and only accept one dog at a time, so you’ll dog will have my sole attention. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside for walks and spending time with pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a big fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play and do whatever they like. I have plenty of room in my house and your pet will be safe, fed, and happy. MUST BE HOUSE TRAINED
“Joe was an awesome sitter for our dog Sherman. He took amazing care of him , spoiled him rotten and treated him like his own pet. Communication was spectacular with numerous updates. Will recommend him to anyone who needs the best dog sitter. Thank you Joe!!”
“Danielle did a remarkable job sitting Basil over the holiday weekend. Basil was very well taken care of and was sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Danielle was also incredibly flexible; she allowed us to pick up Basil at a different date / time than we previously agreed upon. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough :)!!”
“Ken is amazing with our Frenchie! Frankie ran to the car as fast as he could when we packed him up to go to Ken’s house. He came home looking healthy and very well taken care of. We highly recommend him but hope he doesn’t book up too much because we will definitely be back”
“Jessica took wonderful care of our 3 babies while we traveled abroad, including one who recently had surgery for cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. She had no issues giving our dogs pills and eye drops and sent us daily updates and pictures. Her apartment is cozy and calm and it was a great environment for our dogs. Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakehurst
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! I was nervous - it was my first time leaving my boy with a stranger. I met Carol a few weeks before and Percy (my dog) acted as if he has been to her house before. He made himself comfortable from the start. In later returned to leave him for a few days. It went fantastic!! Percy seemed to have enjoyed his "vacation". I already booked my next sitting with Carol. Definitely recommend.

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 .
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.

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.
