“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”
“I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to describe how amazing Anna has been with my dog. She took her for a week while I was away and sent pictures and descriptions everyday of all the fun they were having. She honestly gave her a better time than I’m able to give her when I’m home - my dog was a spoiled girl! I recommend a million times over.”
“Euitae was great with my puppy! Communicated with me well throughout the time, sent photos and videos. I felt comfortable leaving her with a new boarder and would work with Euitae again!”
“Rawisra took very good care of my dog! She was incredibly kind and hospitable, paid close attention to all of the specific care instructions that I had for him. She gave very nice daily updates with pictures and videos! She even showed us the area in which our dog will be staying and it was very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend and book again!”
“I left my 3 month old lab mix puppy with a close friend. I got a text from said friend asking to drop him off because she could no longer care for him. Keka accommodated a last minute booking. My dog was loved, and spoiled for the duration of our vacation. She set my mind at ease daily with pictures, and updates. She is kind. and patient. I would recommend her to any, and everyone looking for a safe place for their fur baby. My puppy was sad when she walked away! I cannot express how thankful I am 💕”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“Estoy muy agradecida con Mariana le deje a mi bebé keanu por 10 días en mis vacaciones y verdaderamente me cuido a keanu muy bien aparte que me mandaba videos y fotos a diario de mi bebe jugando comiendo lo sacaba a diario mi bebe estaba muy contento tan contento que en mi vacaciones le comenté a mi esposo que keanu estaba tan alegre con ella que parecía que no nos extrañaba jjj aparte que esta muchacha ama su trabajo ella ama cuidarlo la recomiendo 💕 💖 ❤️ con ojos serrado si necesita quien cuide tu mascota sin ningún tipo de preocupaciones ella es la persona adecuada. Mucha gracias mariana . Que dios te bendiga 🙏 y nos mantenemos en contacto para mi próxima salida.”
“Our dog's recent visit with Katrina was the first time we have worked with her. We are very happy with Katrina. She took care of our large dog for four days in her home. We received plenty of photos of our dog enjoying her time with Katrina. Drop off and pick up were easy and exactly as arranged. No issues at all.”
“I really appreciate the attention and the care Jatna showed for my dog. I would definitely book her again in the future and highly recommend her to other people.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Neerav! What stood out the most was his genuine passion, care, and patience, especially with our stubborn little pup when it came to eating. Anyone who has a picky eater knows how challenging that can be, but Neerav went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was comfortable, cared for, and eating well. His attentiveness, dedication, and affection gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that he treats the pups in his care with genuine love rather than just seeing it as a job. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Neerav to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to their furry family members. We would absolutely love to book with him again!”
“Bridget is the best sitter ever! Our little baby had a great time with Bridget’s sweet dog so it was like one long playdate. Bridget sent lots of photos to make us feel comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter experience.”
“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”
“We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for over 10 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have a sweet and friendly Bichon Poodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, daily routines, and lots of love and companionship. I always do my best to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I can also adjust my schedule to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I live in a single-family home with a fully fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable space for dogs to play and relax. I always follow each pet parent’s care instructions, including feeding, walking, medication, and house rules. I keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Eva, was amazing! She was available for a last minute booking and took great care of my 12 week old puppy. She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend using her.”
About: I’m friendly, patient and flexible with pets and their owners. Easy going and ready for a challenge! 2 years of experience taking care of a mini poodle everyday. I am a remote worker and bike everywhere so I am open for last minute requests in my neighborhood and can do emergency walks often. I have pet proofed my space and love to welcome pets to my home. However, depending on the distance, I might be open to pet sitting at yours too! I work remotely so I have ample flexibility.
“Cedric took phenomenal care of my sweet Mila girl while I was away. She is a rescue, and he was so kind and she was so comfortable with him. Will definitely book with Cedric in the future!”

Andrew was excellent with my puppy. He is extremely experienced working with dogs and it showed when I brought home my pup. She boarded with Andrew and was very nervous/anxious at first, but she settled in just fine. Now my puppy is not as nervous so he set a good example for me to follow. Andrew sent plenty of videos so I didn't have any concern at all. 10/10 would recommend and book again.
Xunzi is awesome as always! This was our first time boarding Bacon with her for three nights, and everything went great. She was very flexible with our 6:00 AM drop-off due to an early flight, which was a huge help! She also kept us updated on Bacon’s daily activities, and he had a great time staying with her. We really appreciate her care and flexibility and highly recommend her!
Stephanie is a real pro. I’ve never required my dogs to be cared and housed before, so I was a bit apprehensive at first. However, when we required Sandy to be looked after for a few days, I found Stephanie, and she is very responsive. She addressed all of my concerns and questions, it was a seamless and informative process. Stephanie was transparent with everything, and gave real-time updates with beautiful photos. The bonus is that her dogs and family made Sandy happy and loved, which cancelled any worries I may have had. We will definitely choose Stephanie should the need arise. Highly recommended.
It is so grateful to meet Chulmin. My fur baby, Raon is very shy and spoiled; however, Chulmin takes care of him very very well. My boy looks so happy and comfort to stay. You do not need to worry about it at all. Chulmin keeps updating and sending pics and videos, so you could know how Raon is doing well. Thanks you so much. I will ask again!!!!!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my little Zara! Sandra went above and beyond in every possible way, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From daily photos and updates to thoughtful messages throughout the day, Sandra made sure I always knew how Zara was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. What really stood out to me was how genuinely involved Sandra is with the dogs. She doesn’t just watch them—she interacts with them, pays attention to their individual needs, and treats them like her own. She even made sure Zara stayed warm when I completely forgot to pack her a jacket! It’s those little thoughtful gestures that make all the difference. And then there’s sweet Penelope! Zara is my little sassy girl who typically has absolutely no interest in socializing with other dogs, so imagine my surprise when she and Penelope got along so beautifully! I was genuinely amazed, and seeing their little friendship develop was such a treat. What touched me even more was that Sandra reached out after I picked Zara up just to tell me how much she missed her. That alone speaks volumes about the genuine love and connection she builds with the dogs in her care. Sandra is truly a gem, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She made being away from Zara so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my little girl with her again. Thank you, Sandra and Penelope, for loving and taking such wonderful care of my sassy little Zara! ❤️🐾
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.
Our dog stayed with Mariah for two weeks and had a wonderful time! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Mariah was incredibly attentive to his needs and always quick to respond. We will definitely be booking with her again!
We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!
Christine is great and very caring for my fur baby. She paid attention to Furball’s food and exercises. She also sent tons of great pictures and updates during the stay. Furball had a great time and made new friends. Very happy and I trust her to sit Furball in the future. Thank you Christine

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Little Ferry can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Little Ferry home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Little Ferry.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little Ferry. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Little Ferry sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
