“Maisha is the best dog sitter ever! She sends updates/pictures often, and ensured that my fur baby was having the best time. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“They were great. We were in town for a concert and we needed someone on short notice, so we messaged. They got back to us right away, great communication. I even got picture updates..”

She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.

In their care, my boy was completely at ease and had so much fun. I highly recommend Natalia and know I can definitely count on her for future visits! Thank you so much, Nata ☺️🐶”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She was in constant contact with me and I knew what my baby was up to all the time! She has two of the cutest kids who loved constant playtime so my puppy came home super happy. He didn’t even want to come home when I picked him up and seemed annoyed he was back. lol!! Thank you, Jennifer! I am definitely re-booking!!”

“Paula was amazing with Toby! She was so kind and loving! This was Toby’s first time in another home and he did very well. Paula was amazing and provided pictures and updates on Toby! I will definitely book Paula again, my family and I were at peace knowing that Toby was in good hands! !”
“At the last minute we needed someone to watch our furbaby. I heard abt Rover and I came across Javier’s profile. I was impressed with the reviews and his overall profile.We had a meet and greet and Button showed immediate interest. Javier’s love and care for Button exceeded every expectation. He showered us with photos and videos, gave us recommendations and great observations of Button. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAVIER!! I live on Staten Island and have NO PROBLEMS paying the toll and potential traffic to have someone like Javier watch Button. Book him, you will not regret the experience!”
“Akshay seems to love animals, he was very warm with my dog Billy and sent me pictures of him every day about his activities when we were on vacations. He also took the food and elements we provided like toys and food holder. The best was that Billy could play and get fun with his can "Sirius" which was very sweet. Also we got a pleasant surprise: Billy got a Christmas gift from the entire family during Christmas day! I definitely recommend Akshay for boarding your dog!”

She gave our dog such great personal care, followed all the feeding instructions perfectly and handled the medicines and supplements exactly like we asked.

I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough, for anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry family members. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Joanne possesses a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Our dog, Siku took to her immediately, which, as any pet owner knows, is the ultimate sign of trust. Leaving your pet can be a source of anxiety, but Joanne provided us with complete peace of mind during our recent trip. she maintained regular communication, sending us adorable photos and updates that showed Siku having a fantastic time. This proactive approach to sharing information was incredibly reassuring. Joanne is also incredibly professional and reliable, She followed all our specific instructions regarding Siku’s diet and routine meticulously. Joanne’s attention to detail and commitment to Siku’s well-being were truly impressive, making this a stress-free experience for us. We will absolutely be booking her services again!
Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.
This was my first time using Rover. We definitely lucked out with Megany. She sat for my dog for the long weekend and was amazing. She sent updates via text and even videos. My dog was so comfortable and happy with her. I will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Megany!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alison was wonderful to work with! She was kind, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I truly appreciated her reliability and thoughtful updates, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jennifer did amazing with Max. He had a great time and enjoyed her family. He is older but does not like to be alone, thankfully Jennifer was always near him to reassure his nerves. I am glad she was close to home and available to help our little guy be safe while we enjoyed our trip.
Victor and Lessly did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. It was clear that they treated him like family and he was well loved and entertained. We really appreciated the regular photos and updates about his day, and that they were extremely responsive. We highly recommend them and will definitely reach out to them whenever we are going out of town without our pup again!
Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
This was Langston’s second stay with Sharon, and from the moment we arrived, I knew he was excited—he literally dragged me to her front door! Sharon is amazing and sent frequent videos every day, which I truly appreciated. I was completely at peace while out of the country knowing my little fur baby was in such great hands.
Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.

There are 14,143 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Linden. About 88% of Linden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
