About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.
About: I am experienced in giving medication. Thoroughly experienced in behavioral training. I have no problem with multiple dogs in same household. I am experienced in all sizes of dogs. I am retired and available twenty four hours a day. I schedule all appointments around the scheduling of the dogs I care for, board or sit. I have a fenced in yard big enough to give 10 dogs plenty of room to roam. I have a steady pack, very friendly. I have never had a problem with fighting or personality problems.
“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”
“Sriram & Rekha S. was super sweet and attentive to Ace. He communicated with me during the whole day. And contacted me as well once my sister picked up Ace. Will be booking with him again!”
“Dawn and Lola welcomed Pebbles with such kindness. Dawn was so pleasant and concerning to Pebbles needs. Pebbles has separation anxiety and Dawn comforted her while I was leaving. The many photos I received made me feel so comfortable that Pebbles was having a great time and in great hands!😊.”
About: Hi! We’re Shirley and Anthony—a dependable husband-and-wife team who absolutely love dogs. I’m a pharmacist, and Anthony is a lifelong dog owner who works from home, so your dog will have round-the-clock care, attention, and affection. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from playful pups to slow-moving seniors. We’re gentle, patient, and happy to accommodate special routines, quirks, or needs. I have a healthcare background, so I’m comfortable with basic medication instructions and noticing if something seems off. Anthony, who has raised dogs his whole life, is calm, observant, and has a natural way of making dogs feel safe and relaxed. Anthony is home all day, and I have a flexible schedule, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Whether your dog needs a calm place to rest or a buddy for playtime, we’re here to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. We offer a calm, clean home with a large fenced yard for playtime and plenty of supervised outdoor breaks. We also have two friendly resident dogs who can keep your fur baby company—if your dog enjoys social time. If your dog prefers quiet space or needs downtime, we’re happy to keep them separate and can also crate if needed based on your instructions.
“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
About: I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I grew up with an Airedale Terrier and later a Welsh Terrier, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for dogs at different life stages. I also have hands-on experience supporting a senior dog - handling vet visits, acupuncture appointments, and helping him get around comfortably when his mobility declined. I’m a young professional looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. In college, I lived with a friendly and affectionate pit mix who quickly became one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever known. In addition, I’ve fostered puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your needs to ensure your dog gets the best care possible.
“This was the first time we used Rover so we were nervous to leave Smoke with a stranger. We were blown away by how well the day care went and will definitely be returning to June in the future. She set up a meet and greet which calmed our nerves and sent a nice compilation of photos and videos throughout the day. Smoke was playing and running and having a blast in every single one. She has a nice fenced in back yard for them to burn some energy and he slept the entire night when we got home. I would 10/10 recommend June to watch your fur babies! Not to mention, she is also extremely responsive and accommodating. Thank you so much!”
About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.
“Jillian and her husband, Andrew, took such good care of my two pomeranians. My guys felt right at home and were well taken care of. They seemed to be well rested and very comfortable when I picked them up. I will certainly be booking with Jillian again!”
“Jill did an amazing job looking after my dog. She was flexible and understanding when I was running late and her communication was great. My dog was always excited to see Jill and came home a happy dog.”
“Jaclynn was great! It’s always nerve wracking bringing your high energy, loud, dog to someone’s house for the first time! But, Jaclynn made us feel very comfortable! We love how she has an instagram page dedicated to watching pets so we can see cute videos and pictures throughout the day! We will be using Jaclynn’s services in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain Lakes
Michele was wonderful with our Pup. He initially gets a little anxious when we leave him and Michele did a great job calming him. He settled nicely and hung out with Michele. Michele sent us great pictures and is wonderful in responding. We will definitely use Michele again.
Leaving our dog with someone outside of family for the first time was extremely stressful, but Lorraine made the entire experience so much easier and gave me genuine peace of mind. From the moment I met her, I could tell she truly cared about animals and would treat our beloved dog with kindness and attention. She took wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the day, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I am incredibly grateful for how patient, caring, and reliable she was, especially given how anxious I was about leaving him for the first time. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.
We had an amazing experience with Molly & Patrick! They were incredibly friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Our pup was clearly well cared for—he got plenty of treats, lots of playtime, and many walks. When we were delayed returning due to a snowstorm, they were more than happy to accommodate an additional day, which we truly appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and kind dog sitter.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mountain Lakes commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 .
