“We had such a wonderful experience with Amy boarding Ornn! His stay was a long one—9 days—and I honestly never had to worry about him while we were away. Amy sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it so nice to see that Ornn was happy and enjoying himself. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands for the entire trip. We’re so grateful to Amy and her family for taking such great care of him and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog!”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“A great overall experience for our Charley! John kept us updated on all the activities of the day and you could tell from the photos that Charley was enjoying his visit. I especially appreciate the extra cuddling given to him during the scary thunderstorm!”
“Monica and Conrad were amazing with Heron, our 5 month old puppy. Heron was so comfortable and had Pongo as a playmate. I knew when we met them before scheduling the boarding that it would work out because Monica and Conrad are kind, caring people who love dogs. Pongo was calm and playful with a new puppy 'roommate.' We received daily photos and a review of the day and previous night. We will definitely book another boarding for Heron with Monica, Conrad and Pongo! Thank you so much!”
“Alyssa and Marcus were great. They took great care of Barney and kept me posted with pictures during his stay. I would recommend them to others looking for good and responsible dog sitters.”
“Steven was great with my last-minute sitter request. He sent daily photos and updates, and when I picked Pepper up she was happy to see me but not desperate to leave. I definitely recommend and will call on him again!”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very flexible and accommodating to our scheduling needs. Kiyomi was immediately comfortable in her home. I will certainly use Monica for all my sitting needs.”
“Twizzler had another wonderful stay with Bridget! From all the pictures and updates I received, I could see how happy and content he was throughout his vacation. It truly warms my heart knowing that my boy is so comfortable and well-cared for with Bridget. I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my boy . Highly recommend!”
“Cecily was great and the dogs seem to love her. Billie is a very nervous boy but she was patient with him and bonded. She communicated well and posts pictures of the dogs that shows how comfortable and cared for they are. She was very accommodating with last minute changes and communicated any issues or concerns. Will absolutely book again! Thank you sooo much!”
“Hali & her family are the best sitters we have ever booked with Rover. We will continue to use them for any and all future trips, if you are looking for someone to take amazing care of your fur babies she is who you want to book with. My boys get so excited to go there and even know the route to her house 😂 as soon as we get close they are ready to jump out to have fun with her and her family. We appreciate you and cannot thank you enough for the exceptional care you give to my boys. ❤️”
“Laurie was incredibly caring and loving. It’s always hard to find a new sitter you can trust to watch your dog, but she exceeded my expectations and made Daisy comfortable immediately. And her dog -Duke- is a sweetheart. I also appreciated the photo updates to ease my mind each day. Highly suggest!”
“Kristen took great care of our dog Merlin! She was new to us and he seemed to settle right in and enjoyed having the company of a kid since he was used to a kid at home.”

Amanda was wonderful! She sent me photos of my babies and gave me updates throughout the weekend. My Coco has some stomach issues and required medication and Amanda took care of her and updated me thoroughly. Amanda and her family let my puppies enter their home and their hearts. Amanda and her family treated them like their own. I would take my puppies back to Amanda in a heartbeat and highly recommend her as a petsitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Newtonville home-away-from-home, 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 Newtonville.
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.
You and your Newtonville 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 , 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 .
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.
