“You can really tell as soon as you re-unite with your pup that Gabriela put your pet's needs first. I was able to relax on what should've been a super hectic weekend, knowing that my dog was getting more than enough love and attention while I was away. He had an equally energetic playmate in Mr. P all weekend to keep him more than occupied, and he sincerely made a friend for life! Gabriela will do an excellent job in whatever breed you need watching, and she will take care of it as if it were her own!”
“Melanie was awesome. She has such a warm and calming spirit, that I knew instantly that she would be perfect with my little Bella. She kept me updated throughout the day by sending me text messdages and picturessent several updates and pictures. I loved it. Melanie will always be my first choice when it come down to my Bella”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“Te, Thank you for your professionalism and responsible nature. We were very nervous about leaving Chester overnight for the first time with a sitter. Your attention to Chester’s behavior/reactions was reassuring, and the updates and photos were appreciated. Chester is resting happily, and we are thrilled that he made new friends and has a place to rest his head! Kia”
“Koryn and her partner were very kind and understanding with their flexibility on dropoff/pickup times. During the sit, I had to message for updates, but she always responded. My boys were happy and healthy and well taken care of.”
“Sanaz was so great for agreeing to watch Roscoe last minute. She sent update photos and messages every day. He also was in such a happy mood when I went to pick him up. Will definitely be requesting her again in the near future.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“This is my second time using Emmanuela’s services and i could not be more happy. I had to book last minute and she was so understanding. The constant photo and video updates make my day and truly do give me peace at mind. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pup I would highly recommend! I will most definitely be using her again!”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“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.”

“We had a great experience with Manuel. And our dog Coco came back happy after staying in a good loving environment and good care of Manuel. I would highly recommend him.”
“We had a great experience boarding our 9 months old puppy with Zimming for 8 days. She sent regular updates and photos that made us smile. It felt like our doggie was on vacation as well. She got to play and socialize with a few different dogs. I highly recommend Zimming to anyone.”
“Ivette was an awesome sitter for Zumba, she was also very accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. She sent messages as well as pics of Zumba. My fur baby was tired and happy from all the playtime and walks. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a great friend to your pet while you're away. I look forward to contacting her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Ivette!”
“Reburkis took care of Bliss for two nights and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Bliss had such a great time and was clearly comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my pup, I would absolutely book with her again! Bliss is smiling from ear to ear!”
Newark pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was super sweet and very communicative throughout the boarding experience. Our schedule kept changing and she was very patient and accommodating. Pepper returned to us happy and even smelling lovely!! This was our first boarding away from home and we are delighted it went so well. Thank you Jennifer!
Lifu was very kind and communicative! She took care of my pups over a week with a last minute requests and they both came back very well taken care of. She provided lots of pics and updates without asking and set my mind at ease while away. Could not recommend her more!
Neide is the only person I’ve trusted with my dog Champ ever since we moved to NJ. She’s amazing - very attentive, caring and great at communicating. I never worry about him when he’s with Neide and he always looks so happy to see her and happy on all the photos and videos she sends me during his stay. I couldn’t recommend Neide more!
Another excellent stay with Maisha. Bentley always has a great experience and enjoys playing and making new friends. She provides excellent care and keeps me consistently updated with photos, which I truly appreciate. I also value the way she treats Bentley with the same care and attention as her own. Thank you again!
Trust me, the reviews don’t lie! Nima was absolutely amazing watching my cat while I was away. She was very communicative, sent daily pictures and videos, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me such peace of mind during my vacation. My cat looked like he was having the best time of his 9 lives with her and came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I will absolutely book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive with their pets. Thank you so much, Nima! You are truly wonderful.
I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!
From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!
I recently booked with Jamin, and I can honestly say it felt like a true blessing. I’ve been raving about this experience to anyone who will listen! For the first time ever, I was able to go on vacation without constantly worrying about my dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. Jamin went above and beyond, keeping me updated with plenty of videos and pictures, which made it so clear that my dog was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your furry family member, Jamin is simply the best dog sitter you could ask for. Thank you again, Jamin—I’ll absolutely be booking with you again!
Breanna was an amazing sitter. I received so many picture updates and she was very inquisitive and caring in learning about my dog and his needs. One of the first times that I had no doubt that he was in amazing hands. I will definitely be rebooking and making her my go to sitter!
I had an amazing experience! Rosemeri took great care of my dog, Coco, and made the whole process feel very comfortable and reassuring. She regularly sent pictures and videos throughout his stay, which really helped me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. Coco looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Coco was very relaxed upon pick up which also gave more reassurance. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter! Thank you 🙏🏼
