“Rachel was very accommodating in regards to the time for picking up our Cookie as we were going to a baseball game nearby. She also responded to my texts in a timely manner and sent a pic of our girl. Rachel, and her boys, showed a passion for watching others' dogs. I would highly recommend her for drop offs.”
“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!”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”

About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful girlfriend. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“10/10 every time. Carol and her family take the absolute best care of Max we could ever ask for. Their home has become our dog's vacation home while we are away! Thank you so much for all you do and for making us feel comfortable and worry-free while he's with you.”
“Stacia was amazing!!! She sent daily updates which was well appreciated. She made sure Astro was socialized with other dogs which he rarely gets at home. I would definitely book with her again anytime I need a sitter for my fur baby.”
“Mike was amazing! 5 stars! We were very unsure about using Rover, as we hadn't used a dog sitting service in a while for our Bella, but Mike was wonderful! Even though Bella can be a little wary of strangers, she warmed up to him and loved spending time with him! She very much appreciated the 3 walks a day Mike was able to give her, and he was even successfully introduced her to another of his friends for additional socialization, just like we talked through. He listened to all of our specific instructions on what to do with her, and he followed through beautifully. Thanks Mike! We'll definitely be bringing Bella back to you again; we trust you 100% with her!!”
“Ahmad, is awesome sent me pictures showing how my Fur-baby was doing. This was the first time using this kind of service but felt comfortable with leaving her with Ahmad.”
“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!”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Our pup had a great stay at Lucas and Kathrine’s! We were constantly updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. It looked like he had a blast! Our pup will definitely be staying there again!”
“Brittany watched our pup for us when we were busy for a weekend. He was well taken care of and came home a tired and happy boy! We will absolutely work with Brittany in the future when we are out of town. I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“Elizabeth is a very kind and thoughtful caregiver and our puppy had a great time hanging with the other dogs under her care. She is very responsive and made us feel at ease as our puppy is only 6 months old. Our travel flights shifted a bit and she was very flexible and accomodating to help us manage. Thanks Elizabeth!”

Max stayed with Ji over the weekend of August 14 and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated throughout our time out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. Ji was also very attentive to Max’s stomach issues and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him!
Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.
Margarita was absolutely wonderful with Luka! Being away from him made me a little anxious, but Margarita and her family immediately put my mind at ease. Luka had such a great time and was clearly well cared for and loved. I would definitely book with Margarita again and highly recommend her to my family and friends! ❤️🐾
She did a fantastic job! We received lots of photos and videos every day, and she made our timid kitten feel comfortable right away. She is a kind and caring cat mom who will give your cat all the love, attention, and play they need while you’re away. We loved the peace of mind seeing that she was playing and having fun, instead of worrying about the conditions of a kennel. She responds to messages quickly, and is receptive to all the small details about your cats personality and daily routine.
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!

There are 13,420 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in North Plainfield. About 88% of North Plainfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
