“Meg and her family were everything that we were looking for for our dearest Pinji! A loving family home with a fenced yard, a fellow doggie(Jameson & Pinji almost looked like twins!! 💕) their daughter Kensie who's a cutie pie and just like our home, treating Pinji as a family member and allowing her everywhere and even sleeping on her bed with her! This was above and beyond what we were looking for and we're so happy that we found them! God Bless this family forever 🙏🏻💖💞”
“Natalia and Illian took such good care of my baby while I was away on business. They sent me so many updates and ensured he had a great time playing with other pups and rolling in the grass (his favorite).”
“I needed last minute boarding for my 3 month old puppy due to an unexpected emergency, and decided to reach out to Pam. I am so happy that we decided to go with Pam, as she provided exceptional care for our puppy. She messaged back nearly immediately, let us know when she is available for a call, and we discussed expectations and how she carries care for dogs throughout the boarding process. I felt immediately at ease, as Pam is very kind and easily diffused any anxiety that came with boarding our puppy. Pam gave us updates throughout the day and always responded quickly, reassuring me that I could give her a call when needed. I would 100% recommend Pam’s services to any dog owner who needs boarding in the area. Pam is an expert in this area, having cared for all kinds of dogs. Her knowledge is broad and she carries herself very well. Thank you so much! ❤️”
“This is the first time we left Ralph for a weekend and we couldn’t have been happier that it was with Samantha. The only bad part was that Ralph is sad he had to leave his playmate Jada!”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
“We are always so happy to leave Goose with Alyssa and Willow! Alyssa is so accommodating and always sends the cutest photo updates. It gives us peace of mind that he’s with her while we’re away!”
“Jacqueline is the get away Hotel for my cat. He spent five nights being pampered, given time in the fresh air, and the center of attention with her entire family over the weekend. He sleeps out in the open which shows he is comfortable and lets the family play with him and rub his belly which he rarely allows. Jacqueline shares numerous videos pictures and text updates. My guy is actually adjusting coming back home; I’m not sure he was ready to leave his vacation! It’s just he and I so now I feel bad he left all of his friends at Jacqueline’s house! She and her family are truly wonderful people and take very good care of my cat. Thank you, so much, for taking care of my little turkey!”
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Krystsina was great. This was my first time using Rover and I booked last minute but she very reliable! She made me and my dog extremely comfortable. She made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the stay and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog sometimes gets anxious around new faces but she made sure to give him treats, take him outside, and play with him to make sure he felt comfortable with her and her daughter. He looked like he was having a great time. I will definitely book with her in the future!”

About: I have had 2 dogs in my household growing up for my entire life. Always Labrador retrievers that I frequently walk when I am home. I also have 3 cats at home. Safe to say I am a huge animal lover :). I also am a fitness guru, so I love long walks! I am available evenings after 5 PM for walks, or even mid day if it is in close proximity to where I live as I work from home 4 days a week. I am also available on weekends! My pets have an electric fence that I helped train them on! When I take care of others dogs, I make sure they are leashed, that I have a poop bag, and a bag of small treats for reward if they sit at corners!
About: I’ve been around animals most of my life—growing up, our garage was home to a group of strays I helped care for whether if it were to create shelter for them during the pouring rain or leaving some kibble out for them to eat. I’ve also fostered cats short-term. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving them company, I’m here to help! I also provide a complimentary photo sticker of your pet during my visit ;) I use to work in medicine, but now I work full-time during the week in finance, so weekends are when I get to slow down—and I’d love to spend that time with animals. Pet care is a meaningful break from the hustle of my day job, and I genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a weekend walk or drop-in, I’m available and happy to help however I can. I’m also typically always available during the holidays. Please schedule a meet & greet with me if you feel comfortable. Over call works too! Please also feel free to include any specific request.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Matawan
Karina and Chris are super friendly and took great care of my 10 yro pitty who was dealing with a leg issue. They were attentive, responsive and provided great communication while we were away for the week. Most importantly our dog seems to really have enjoyed his stay.
Susana was an amazing host to our Rocky. She kept us up-to-date highlighting us on what was going on for the day and sending us pictures. He definitely was having an amazing time! I am so grateful that I was able to enjoy our vacation at ease, knowing that he was in good hands.
Paul and Kathryn were great with my 10 month old puppy Maya. They are such a nice family and I'm so glad my puppy got to spend the week with them. Maya seemed well cared for and I was told she had a good time with their two dogs and kids. They sent regular updates and pictures which was really reassuring when leaving your pet with someone. I would definitely recommend them and will be using them again.
Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.
Grateful for Kayla and her family taking great care of Miles and for last minute booking. Received frequent updates. Very flexible with drop off and pick up. Looks like Miles had a great company and lots of playtime. Would like to book again next time Miles needs a home away from home. Thank you very much!

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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
