“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.”

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

“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.”

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.

My dog Tucker stayed with Holly for 3 days the end of October. She was great, I could tell Tucker was right at home with her. He was very relaxed and calm the whole time . I would certainly use Hollies’ Services again.

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 .

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 .

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.
