“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”
“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”
“We are so grateful to Sayak and his family for the great care they gave Bailey while we were away. We loved the daily updates and photos and could tell from the photos how comfortable Bailey was staying with them. We will definitely use Sayak again & would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I recently entrusted my furry friend to Mahita and couldn't be more pleased with the care provided. She demonstrated a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and loved during my absence. Communication was seamless, with regular updates, photos and videos that eased any concerns I had. Mahita not only followed feeding and walking instructions diligently but also took the initiative to engage in playtime and enrichment activities, tailoring the experience to my dog's preferences. Mahita is not just a caregiver but a true animal enthusiast who understands the unique needs of each pet. I highly recommend Mahita for anyone seeking a reliable and caring companion for their furry family members. I'm grateful to have found such a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, and I will undoubtedly entrust my pet to her in the future.”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Gianna made our first time using Rover a breeze - she was super responsive, sending many photos and videos, and very flexible. Our pup seemed to warm up to her right away. We will definitely use her again!”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Very good with my pug. She took care of her like her own dog. The backyard was a huge plus. I also got regular updates about her eating and outings. The pictures and video updates were also helpful to put me at ease.”
“Lydia was great with Chloe! We are so glad we found her. Her dog, Casey, was so sweet and Chloe got along well with him. She sent us pictures and updates on how our dog was doing which was great. We could tell Chloe was having fun and that she really liked Lydia. We will defineatly be coming back when we go on vacation. Thank you!! ”
“Joanne was a great sitter, she watched our dogs for two weeks and did an awesome job. Sent updates and pictures and even took one dog to the vet when she showed signs of a UTI.”
“Doppler enjoys stays at Nikki’s house very much. He now has a friends circle going and we throughly enjoy the daily video and phot updates. Makes the separation more bearable. Thank you Nikki for taking such good care of Doppler.”
“Vivian and Kathy are very easy to interact with. They have a calm demeaner and my dog who is usually anxious seemed relaxed with them. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and clean. Really appreciated the daily photos. It was our first stay and a long one. We will be returning!”
“We used Na for 4 nights and she was truly amazing. We were nervous to leave our dog with someone we didn’t know but she made us feel so confident he was in the best care possible. I think Petey had a better vacation than us! She sent us many pictures and kept him active throughout his stay. It’s also amazing how she donates all the proceeds. We would definitely use Na and her family again to watch Petey!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lyons
Mallika is wonderful. She took the time to meet Dolly before her week long stay. She asked all the right questions about Dolly and her care. And she kept me informed with photos throughout Dolly's stay. Mallika is a wonderful caregiver of our four-legged family members.
Karina was fantastic! She took great care of our dog Cooper, showing him a lot of love and attention. As did her kids. She was very responsive to us, and sent us updates every day along with multiple pictures. We plan to use her again in the future, and would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Lyons home-away-from-home, 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 Lyons.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lyons 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 , 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 .
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.
