“While attending my daughter‘s wedding in Portugal, we left our loving dog, Vader with Rebecca and her husband for the first time. I was initially nervous about leaving him, but Rebecca immediately put my mind at ease with her warm, loving nature. Also, Vader immediately seemed comfortable and felt the love as well. She kept us updated with photos of Vader happily relaxing on her couch and playing with other dogs. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was, allowed us to truly enjoy our time without worrying. I highly recommend Rebecca and her husband to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with genuine love and attention. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our baby Vader and for making this such a wonderful experience! We are so grateful and we will absolutely trust you with him again!”

“Steven was great with my 2 large pups! He sent pictures and was very quick with responding. It was my first time leaving them with a stranger so I was nervous but Steven made sure they were well taken care of and comfortable. He walked, played and hung out with them each day. He even went and bought them a little extra of their food when they ran out! I would 100% use him again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dog over the weekend. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our furry family member was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which made us smile and reassured us that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”
“Ryan was very communicative throughout the whole stay, he sent photos and videos, and my dog had so much fun! definitely recommend. it’s hard leaving your dogs and especially if you don’t always have many options of people you know personally to watch them, so when you come across someone with a dog to play with yours, a big yard, and keeps you in the loop it’s definitely a win.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped my family care for them. Over the years, I’ve had 7 dogs and 2 cats, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m available for evening check-ins and walks during the week, and I can also board pets on weekends. My schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, as well as one friendly dog and a cat who is used to being around dogs and gets along well with them. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
“Colleen made the whole process so easy from booking through pick up. This was our first time leaving Kobe with anyone outside of family, and Colleen was very understanding and reassuring. She updated us regularly with texts, pictures, and videos. Kobe was happy to see us when we picked him up, but also seemed quite content to be in Colleen’s home. It was a great experience for our first time using Rover.”
“Sol comes highly recommended by us! This was our first time using a sitter and Sol made us feel so at ease leaving our fur baby. She stayed in touch throughout the day, made sure she was comfortable with a set up ready for our arrival - food, litter, treats, etc. Sol was very flexible and understanding as we were moving and had to adjust our schedule some.”
“Really great babysitter, had my dog stay with her on two night while on vacation in NJ. She was very reliable and responsive. Best sitter that we found in the area. Gave lots of updates too!”

“Kathleen was great with Atreus for our first booking. She sent lots of pictures and was coummicative during his stay. I look forward to booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Lisa has been the best dog sitter we've ever met. When she's watching our pup, we can truly relax because we know how much she shows affection and attention to our fluffy baby. She's super attentive to his needs. We are so happy to have found her.”
“Alyssa and Marcus are the absolute best! Sam always has a wonderful time with them and Zara! They are his second family and the excitement he has when we pull up to their home is unbelievable. It warms my heart every time.”
“Laurie was wonderful with my dog Zoey. She was so sweet and nurturing with her from the very first time we met her. She gave me daily updates with photos, easing my mind while I was away. Zoey was treated as part of their family, and was happy. I am so happy that I found Laurie to care for Zoey, because I can go away knowing that she is well taken care of. Thank you so much Laurie, you're the best!”

Danielle is such a great person and has a wonderful home! We boarded our young dog Penny with her during a family vacation and she had so much fun with Danielle’s own dogs! She sent us photos everyday with a written update which was very comforting. Definitely recommend Danielle for boarding! Thank you Danielle!
Danielle has been absolutely amazing with our big pup. She sends us photos and updates throughout her stay, which always puts us at ease. Over time, she’s grown so comfortable with her that he treats her home like a second home. It’s clear how much she cares, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love and attention she gives her.

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.
93% of sitters in Minotola 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 Minotola 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 Minotola.
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 Minotola. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Minotola 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.
