“First time boarding our pup was nerve wrecking but Jessica sent tons of pictures and we knew that Noodle was so well taken care of and having the best time! Thank you!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Ekaterina and her family were amazing and so loving with Charlie. She was very communicative and gave us constant photo and video updates. Her kids were also wonderful with Charlie. We could tell Charlie had the best time because she seemed a little sad when she came back home. Highly recommend Ekaterina and will definitely book again in the future!”
“First time leaving my 1 year old maltipoo at a sitter and Bhavani proved to be an excellent host. She was very responsive and accommodating with my boarding request as I had to travel out of town. She sent frequent updates with videos about Flynn which was very assuring. Highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”
“Margarita did an outstanding job taking care of our dog for a week. She’s extremely caring and treated our dog like part of her family. She communicated with me while we were traveling so I had regular updates and photos/videos. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again.”
“Holly and DK have been great so far with our (sometimes needy) corgi Moose! Moose has been to daycare a few times and stayed overnight for a long weekend and he seems to enjoy and come home happy. Holly & DK are a lovely young couple who communicate quickly and thoroughly, are flexible about pick up/drop off times, and always send us a handful of cute pictures. We've also noticed they go above and beyond to return food bowls, kongs, and blankets back cleanly. We're happy we found them and look forward to having Moose stay with them in the future!”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
“Lucas & Katherine took such good care of Snowy, just like their own pet , they are just wonderful people ! I have been looking for a good place to drop my baby when we go on vacations for many years , finally i have found these two wonderful dog loving people 😍, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving home for their furry friend while they are away. Thank you Lucas & Katherine !!”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Charlene took great care of my Zoey! After a successful daycare session and trial overnight, I was at ease leaving Zoey with her for an extended period. She loves playing in her yard with her dog, Jack! Charlene made sure Zoey was comforted during the fireworks on the 4th and continued monitoring her for any signs of distress. She also tolerated Zoey digging in her garden (sorry!). Zoey loves being there and looks forward to going back! I highly recommend Charlene!!”
About: I believe what sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and communication I provide. Since I work from home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I have a spacious yard for supervised outdoor play, and I treat every pet like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and exercise to medications and special preferences. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable while you're away. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, which is why I provide regular photo and video updates and maintain open communication throughout every stay. My goal is for both you and your pet to have a stress-free, positive experience from start to finish. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of affection. I make sure every pet receives individual attention and never feels neglected. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, supervise pets at all times, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I take the time to build trust with each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and using positive reinforcement to help them feel safe and comfortable.
“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“We kept our 2 and half years old Maltese with Lisa for 2 nights when we had to go out of town for a wedding and couldn't take our pup Bisou along. It was the first time that Bisou had to spend at a stranger's home. I was sad and worried to leave him behind. But after picking him up, within 2 days I re-booked Lisa for 3 nights in September. I don't need to write detail review. Because, "Action speaks louder than words". ☺”
“Lupe was very attentive, kind and you can automatically tell he loves dogs. He cared for our golden retriever like she was his own. For the weekend he was very good at communicating how our Penny was doing, and we got several videos and pictures throughout the day. So grateful for Lupe and it gave us a peace of mind knowing Penny is in good hands! He also has an amazing backyard where Penny really enjoyed playing fetch with Lupe! Was scared Penny never wanted to come home haha! I highly recommend Lupe to anyone and everyone who wants someone with a good heart to care for their dogs!”

Ji watched our dog Duke while I was recovering from surgery, and we would absolutely recommend her to watch your pup. We met beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and Duke was comfortable. She communicated daily, and I could see from pictures that he was well cared for. Thank you so much for a great experience, and Duke hopes to come and play again soon!
Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Melodie! She watched our dog, Hunter, for two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for better care. From the very beginning—even before we officially booked—she opened her home to us and completely set our minds at ease about how he would do. Hunter was incredibly happy, well cared for, and treated like family the entire time. Most importantly, he got to make some new friends during his stay, which he absolutely loved and enjoyed so much! While we were away, she kept us constantly updated with photos and videos of his adventures, which we deeply appreciated. It was so comforting to see him happy, relaxed, and having a blast. Melodie truly goes above and beyond, and we will absolutely be counting on her for future stays. Highly, highly recommend!
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Plainfield home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 North Plainfield.
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 North Plainfield 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
