She clearly received loads of love and attention, as evidenced by the pictures and reports I regularly received, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you, Jessica, for giving Lily an even better vacation than we had!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.

About: Hi, I’m Bee, and I’ve helped take care of dogs and cats for around 6 years. I don’t have any pets of my own (yet!), but I have assisted friends with dogsitting and also Rover-ing! I’ve also fostered cats, and that has given me an edge in knowing how to make an animal comfortable quickly, especially in a new environment. I also have experience in giving powder, pill, and eyedrop medication. I believe that in order to give your pet the best care, we should work together and be on the same page about your pet’s needs, habits, and anything else you’d like to share! I also love taking photos of them and sending them to update you on how they’re doing. If this all sounds great, send me a message! I work fully remote, so I have time to take your dog(s) on walks generally before 8:30 AM, sometime in the afternoon, and after work at 6 PM. We can work out an appropriate schedule that most closely mimics their usual routine! Within my community, we have a dog park, so depending on how comfortable you are with allowing your dog(s) to socialize with others while you are away, I can take them there or map a new route to avoid the dog park if needed. Around the community we have some good routes for walking as well as a pond in case your pup wants to explore and smell! In my home, we avoid any strong scents, plants, chemicals and cleaning products that could pose harm to animals. Trash is secured in a cabinet.

Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.

So incredibly grateful to have found Meghan and Jason. We had a meet up prior to our booking dates and felt more than comfortable to have them take care of our baby Armin. A big plus is that they have one of the best dog parks their community, it’s huge! We received plenty of videos and pictures daily. Armin was even laying upside down in their care, which he only does when he’s extremely comfortable and we have yet to see that with any prior rover experiences. Armin easily gets diarrhea if he has any changes to his food or treats but Meghan and Jason did great with his regimen. We got him back with healthy poops lol. They even accommodated to drop him off at the end of our booking which we desperately needed. I can’t say enough good things about them and am excited to have found a future pet sitter with zero worries 🙂

Absolutely wonderful sitter! What meant the most to me was being able to relax while I was away and know that my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated the communication and updates, and I never once felt like I had to worry. When I came back, my dog was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely have her sit for my dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Our sitter was absolutely amazing! We had so much unexpected chaos during our trip from our original sitter canceling, to our flight being rerouted to Cleveland because of a storm. Through all of it, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. She made a very stressful situation so much easier for us by taking such great care of our dog, Lola. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her kindness, patience, and understanding throughout everything that happened. She truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️🐾

Victor & Lessly are amazing! They are the perfect tag team couple to care for our pup. Our guy is a bit high maintenance with all his drops, medication, food, and FOMO for when we leave him for vacation. Victor & Lessly gave him extra attention and frequent recaps and photos to keep us at ease. We even landed late and had to pick him up the next morning in which they went out of their way to feed him a home cooked meal in which we failed to provide an extra. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 14,150 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Linden. About 88% of Linden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.

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.
