“Josh was incredible with our dog, we were gone for 10 days, got pictures every day and we could tell he let our dog make himself right at home, which was wonderful because I think most dogs have separation anxiety from their owners. He was so easy to schedule everything with and 100% responsive when I sent communication. Highly recommend, and we will be repeat clients if he’ll let us!!!”
“This was my second time booking and it was a good experience. There was an unexpected storm that kept me from picking up khloe and Kimani allowed me to modify the booking multiple times.”
“Lydia was amazing with our dogs. Our dogs can take some getting used to boarding but she was patient and was able to get them calm and comfortable during their stay with her. She also provided updates and pictures of our dogs which was much appreciated.”
“Sarah is so amazing! Our English Bulldog (Vegas) always looks forward to spending time with Sarah and her family. We have gone to her multiple times now and each and every time, Vegas is treated like her own with love and care.”
“My little girls were loved on & cared for so well by Jessica & her sweet kiddos!🥰!! Loved the pics that she sent & great communication!! Will definitely use again!!💗🐶”
“Averie was loving, attentive and sent lots of pictures of our dog playing and having so much fun! I could tell he was well cared for as he wanted to love on her more before we left with him. Thank you Averie! Zeus misses you already.”
““Fantastic dog boarding service! Brittany has great availability, making scheduling easy, and truly care for the pets they look after. My dog was happy, well-cared for, and came home relaxed. Highly recommend!”
“I'm elated with the services she provided! Flexible to watch my babies at the last minute, continued communication and picture updates, I can't thank her enough and will definitely use for future endeavors!”
“Evan and Bonna were great sitters. We got regular update pics and even videos! The dogs were well taken care of, and they were walked regularly. Evan and Bonna's communication was also very solid, as they responded very promptly through Rover messaging. Highly recommend them for your precious pets!!!”
“Rover sitter Kaleigh and family were absolutely fantastic with my dog. She sent photo updates, kept him on his regular routine, and Yoda came home happy and relaxed. I couldn't have asked for a better experience-highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Layla! She is very communicative and our pup had the best time (we could tell from all the pics we were sent)! Definitely recommend Layla watching your dog :)”
“First time on Rover and Selena and family took great care of our little girls. We got regular updates and pictures, and felt confident leaving them with these animal lovers. Thanks so much! It made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands!”
“Julie was amazing and my three pups couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. I was a bit hesitant at first because I do have three very excitable dogs and they can sometimes even come off as annoying. Julie had no issue with them and welcomed them like they were her own! She sent constant pictures and updates, so even while we were away we felt at ease. We highly recommend her services and plan on rebooking with her. 💕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Shirley was so sweet and took amazing care of my dogs while I was out of town for a few days! It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She’s also very affordable, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Shirley was absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch our Goldendoodle, Cleo, on very short notice, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we dropped Cleo off, Shirley provided updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cleo was well cared for, happy, and in great hands the entire time. We truly appreciated the love and attention Shirley gave our sweet pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you again, Shirley!

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.

Many sitters in TX 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.
