“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.”

“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“Bonnie was available for a first time, last minute boarding request and the whole experience from a quick meet and greet onwards was great. Very reassuring to have Luke stay at her home. He was comfortable for sure. Thank you!”
About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“Jenny and her family were warm and inviting when I met them. They have a nice large enclosed fenced in yard for Jasmine to explore. Jenny took good care of Jasmine, sending many pictures of her during the weekend.”
“We are so grateful to have found these sitters, especially last minute when our pup wasn’t feeling well. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Lucas and Katherine couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive. They were amazing with giving her medicine, checked in daily with updates on how she was eating, and taking the medicine and always sent the sweetest pictures. They even went out of their way to make sure she ate by picking up yogurt, which she loved! Our dog looked right at home and so happy the whole time, which gave us such peace of mind. Truly wonderful sitters who went above and beyond…highly recommend!”
“Nan was great! Would recommend to anyone looking to board there pet. Was able to book with her last minute with no problem. She really cared well for my young puppy, kept in touch the entire time, and sent pictures and videos. My puppy loved her! Will absolutely be using Nan again to care for my dog when I'm away.”
“Shaun is wonderful with our 5 year old golden. He takes such good care of her, lots of walks, attention, and play, as well as sends us frequent update and photos! Thank you!”
“An absolutely wonderful experience! Leo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. The communication was excellent, with updates and pictures that made us at ease. We truly appreciate the love and attention given to Leo. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laxmi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person and a place 😊”
“Hollie did an amazing job taking care of Scooby. He stayed with her for a week and looks like he had a lot of fun. I received many updates throughout the day which I appreciated. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”
“Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”
“Monica did an outstanding job with our dog, Annie. She sent pictures every day and when she had a question or concern she didn’t hesitate to ask. That tells me she was engaging with my dog and truly concerned about her welfare. That meant a lot to my husband and I. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely look for Monica to care for Annie in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Plainfield
When we first decided we were going away on vacation we didn't know what to do with Simba, so we were going to not go on our trip. However, we heard about the Roover app and we did our search based off our location. Isbath was the first name who popped up and we decided to go with her especially being close to home as well as hee reviews. Not only Isbath and her family were amazing. Their dogs were not just amazing but when we did our meet & greet it really helped Simba open up. Simba is usually anxious, but when Simba meet Isbath & her family he fit right in with them and automatically played with them and didn't run away. This was our sign to go with them because Simba felt comfortable around them and their dogs made him feel at ease. They also sent pictures and videos to us daily, we just knew he was having a great time away from us. Even my husband felt comfortable leaving Simba and knew he was in great hands. When and if we do go on another vacation, we will definitely be using them again. Thank you again to Isbath & her family.
If I could give Margarita and her husband more than 5 stars, I would. They took such good care of my 17 year old Jack Russell. Although he is sweet, he has a lot of age-related issues, he wears a diaper and can be a little grumpy at times. From the moment I met them they made be feel completely comfortable leaving Ringo in their care. They understood his needs and kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I am incredibly grateful for the care they gave to Ringo and would not hesitate to trust them with him again. I highly recommend Margarita, Thank you both for taking such great care of our old guy!
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.
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.
Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.
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!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!

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.
