“Was worried since this was a first time visiting this house with Milo and Maui but they looked so comfortable! I was so happy to see my cats and Lenny was so sweet and caring. Both my cats were able to have seperate rooms which was also so great.”
“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!”
“In the past when I've taken trips I've always been able to board my dog, Sully, with a family member so I was admittedly super nervous to leave him this time... but once I met Heather I immediately knew I didn't have to worry whatsoever. Sully immediately loved her in our meet and greet. He stayed with her for 10 days and I didn't have to feel nervous at all during that time. She sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell Sully was having a great time there. When I got there to pick him up, I don't think he even wanted to leave haha! Would definitely recommend Heather!”
“It was great experience working with Michale and Whitney. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and they took great care of her. It was good knowing she was in family setting with access to fenced backyard. When we went to pick her up- we could see she was very happy playing with other dogs and Mikes kids. An overall thumbs up !”
“Very kind, thoughtful boarder. Updated me constantly with pictures and videos. Even took extra time at odd hours to stay with my dog when she was crying from separation anxiety and I am so grateful.”
“Maris was amazing and so accommodating with my booking. Constant updates with Maui and lots of cute pictures ! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, I’m so grateful that you took such good care of my boy. Thank you Maris so much!!”
“This is 2nd time we booked boarding with Xiaoke. He was amazing with updating and sending pictures of my dog. Moon was very happy with her stay! 100% recommending to owners who wants to use Xiaoke's services.”
“The best place for a dog to be! A loving family with a beautiful home and HUGE backyard for my dog to play. Brian is a natural with my Koda and they have bonded after one day. I couldn’t ask for better or recommend more highly.”
“So happy with our stay! I instantly could tell my Brody was in good hands. They kept me updated daily and somehow kept up with my energetic pups play schedule 😄. I could tell he was loved and well cared for.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Fatima was patient, caring and reliable. We received updates regularly, giving us peace of mind while we were away that our dog was well cared for. Would definitely use her again!”
“I am so happy I chose Kajal to watch Mochi. Mochi is an anxious pup and Kajal made the whole process less stressful starting with the meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and videos during Mochi’s stay which eased my mind as this was the first time Mochi was not in our care. I really appreciate Kajal and her family looking after Mochi and will seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“My dogs had another wonderful stay with Lucas & Katherine, this time for two weeks. In fact my senior gal liked it there so much that she almost didn’t want to come back with me. I think for a pet parent that best and most positive sign that their furbabies were well cared for!!! They sent me lots of photos of my dogs snuggled under blankets or enjoying outdoor times! L & K are the best people and I feel like I can travel with so much less worry and guilt when my dogs are with them.”
“Sean and Dakota were amazing! They took amazing care of our boy, Otis. We got regular updates, pictures and videos. We couldn’t be happier and knowing Otis was so well taken care of and having an absolute blast gave us peace of mind.”
“Nuotong & her husband were loving and caring towards our dog. They sent multiple picture and videos during his stay there. Charlie loved every moment of it :)”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”

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!
Karina took great care of Jax while we were away! She has a clean, welcoming home with fenced front and back yards, and she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay. She’s also a genuinely kind and wonderful person, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Jax in her care. He looked so happy and well cared for with her. I would definitely book with Karina again and highly recommend her!

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.

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.
