About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, so welcoming another pup into my home feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable reading their body language, helping nervous or shy dogs settle in, and giving more energetic pups the attention, exercise, and play they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like I’d want someone to treat my own. I have a dog-friendly home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I also have my own dog at home, so your pup will be joining an experienced, dog-loving household where caring for dogs is already part of everyday life. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge around the house, follow you everywhere, or do a little bit of everything, my goal is simple: make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. Dogs in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches and can enjoy regular potty breaks, time outside in my large fenced yard, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. Whether they’re happiest relaxing nearby while I work, getting outside frequently, or looking for a little extra play and attention, they’ll have plenty of companionship and won’t just be waiting all day for someone to come home. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re part of the family, not just a guest. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside throughout the day to play, explore, and burn off some energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of activity and interaction or simply a comfortable place to relax. Safety is always a priority, especially when introducing dogs to a new environment and to my own dog. I supervise interactions, give dogs the time and space they need to settle in, and make sure their stay is safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible.
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“Stanley had another fantastic stay with Bobbi. He was excited to see her at the beginning of the week and came home happy. We’ll happily ask Bobbi to take care of Stanley again in the future!”
“Diamond and her husband always takes such good care of our little fur baby! She is amazing and communitive and sends pics. I never have to worry about my fur baby and that feels amazing! I have come back to Diamond often when my schedule gets really busy!”
“She took such great care of my boy! ❤️ From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax knowing he was in good hands. 🐾💕 It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treated him like one of her own. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust her with him again. We definitely found our dog’s new bestie! 🐶💗”
“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”
“We just used Alexa for the first time when we went on summer vacation. A new sitter always makes us feel nervous but Alexa helped put us at ease. She suggested a meet and greet with our dog at her place before we went away. While Millie was with Alexa, we got daily updates and photos. Both Walt and Alexa worked hard to make Millie comfortable and taken care of! They even faced the challenge of a dog who was not a fan of walks. They took the extra steps to care for our Millie who has a few quirks (but we adore her)!”
“Suley is just awesome! This was the first time our puppy Teddy stayed with a sitter and, of course, we were a little nervous. Her house and particularly the fenced-in back yard is perfect for a dog to exercise, be outside and be safe. She sent us photos and videos every day and kept us updated so that we could really enjoy our vacation and have no worries. I think Teddy would have been happy to stay longer if he needed to. We will definitely take Teddy back to Suley.”

We always pick up a happy pup after a stay at Shaun’s. He and his family love on our dog just like we do and we always look forward to the pics and updates each day of the adventures they’re having. 5 star stay every time and we already have our next night booked. Thank you Shaun and family!
Christina did an excellent job taking care of our Cavalier, Stefon. She sent daily picture and video updates, and made Stefon feel as part of the family. She went above and beyond, even bathing Stefon when he got dirty playing outside (or peed on himself because of his long hair). Would highly recommend her if you’re considering boarding your dog!
Alka is my pup’s and my new favorite person! I am so thankful I found someone I trust to take care of my Yorkie, Clover. As the owner of a recently adopted 8 year old Yorkie with a few health issues , leaving him with someone new was stressful. Alka immediately put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. He looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved❤️. I couldn’t recommend Alka more highly.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
