“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Connor was wonderful with Mickey. Easy going with pickup and drop-off. His cousin Patrick who lives with him was very friendly as well. It was nice to know there was always someone in the house with our beloved pup. We had a situation come up with Mickey that was out of our control and Connor handled the situation so well. He completely put us at ease and went out of his way to make sure things were totally under control. It was such a relief when we were away. 10/10 would recommend for your pet and would trust him again with my own anytime. Thanks so much Connor.”

“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”

“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”

“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”

About: My wife and I have over 35 years of experience taking care of dogs. As a former dog trainer, I have worked with breeds of all types and understand the unique needs of different dogs. In addition our daughter is a professional dog walker so we are a very dog loving family. Currently we are the parents of a wonderful labradoodle named Rocky, who is the most gentle and loving dog on the planet. He will welcome your precious pup with open paws. We are extremely attentive and will take care of your dog as our own. Can’t wait to meet your pup! We work from home so pet care is fully integrated into our daily routine. We are able to take your pup out for potty breaks as much as needed and are always available for your pup. We have a fully fenced backyard for supervised playtime and we will take your pup for a minimum of three 30 minute walks per day as we enjoy walking.
“We had left our 5 year old fur baby under Lakshmi’s care for the weekend , he was very well take care of , Lakshmi took all the required information , she was very meticulous in providing updates during Bentleys stay and took great care of him. Would highly recommend Lakshmi for anyone looking for a great home away from Home for their fur baby while you are out , know that your baby wil be well taken care of.”

“Jacquelyn was the best! Amazing yard and location, and she went above and beyond to make our pup feel comfortable. She also sent lots of picture updates which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!!”

“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”


“Vanessa was fantastic as a boarder. My dog Gigi suffers from separation anxiety and she took special care of her needs. Gigi came home happy and tail wagging. Her place is very clean organized with a beautiful yard. Will surely use her again soon.”

“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’m a stay at home mom with too many years experience caring for dogs and puppies to count! Our home is a dog’s dream vacation. We have a friendly dog who loves company, two small kids who adore playing with pups, and a spacious fenced in yard perfect for romping around. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of our family while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two elementary school kids , so my schedule is pretty flexible and gives me time to show your sweet pups all the attention and love they need. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pups can run around and play in. It’s my goal to make your dog feel as loved and safe as they do at home.
“Tiara was awesome and truly went above and beyond in caring for my cat. This was my first experience boarding and needless to say my cat and I were both a bit nervous about how it'd all go. For a cat that hasn't been away from me much in her 10 years that she had a blast and started to warm up to Tiara's cats (a little bit) is a testament to her care, attention and welcoming environment. She provided me with updates while I was away on my work trip and even gave me some cat dad advice with helpful tips on keeping my cat active and healthy. Highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again for my next work trip”

“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ,she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”


“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”

About: We are a loving family who are excited to open our home to your pet. We were proud dog owners for 13 years, and caring for our beloved Brandin was a big part of our daily life.

“This is our first time using Rover and was very pleased with the process. We were reluctant at first, but after meeting Monica placed us at ease. I would definitely recommend Monica to our friends and family. Monica was very thoughtful with sending photos almost every day of our Bingo having a great time with her and family. Bingo felt at home with them. Thank you again, for taking such great care of our Bingo.”

Mountainside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.

Lauren was such a pleasure to have as a dog sitter. We could enjoy our 5 nights away knowing that our puppy was in a responsible and loving care. Lauren was a great communicator who provided us with videos, pictures and updates. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times which we appreciated. I highly recommend Lauren.

Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!
