“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“Jocelyn is a wonderful dog sitter! She shared pictures and videos of our dog every day we were away. She is very responsive to texts. We would definitely leave our dog with her again when we are away 😊”
“Lucy was able to watch our difficult dog (rescue with a fear of hands) without any problems, and she was very communicative. We will definitely be asking for her services again!”
“Cathy was great to Chauncey during his vacation at her home. Chauncey played fetch with Cathy and her daughter, which is his all time favorite activity! He was in heaven. Chauncey has tummy issues, so naturally I was worried that he would get sick, but Cathy kept his food separate and made sure he stuck to his diet. Chauncey came home exhausted from all of the fun with the new friends he made. I am very protective of my fur baby, so I am selective when choosing a sitter. I would recommend Cathy if you are looking for the best.”
“Lee K was great with my dog Bodi. Knowing that she was familiar with looking after senior dogs and giving medication made me feel comfortable using her pet sitting services. She took great care of Bodi, helping him as needed & provided me with many photos & videos so that I could see how he was doing while he was staying at her home. Upon picking him up I could tell he had a relaxing stay and was comfortable within her home and around her other dogs. We are looking forward to using Lee K again in the future!”
“Thanks for another great stay for Teddy! He feels so welcome and loved in your home, it has become his second home! He truly loves being with your family and we love being able to travel knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“Katherine was very communicative and JJ was well cared for. I appreciated the ability to stay in touch and loved receiving pics and videos throughout JJ's stay. It gave me great peace of mind. Thanks for taking good care of him!”
“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”
“I trust Irene and ken with my pup, Reggie, entirely. We have used them many times, weekly recently, and even go far out of our way to use them (they're about 40 minutes from our house but close to work). Their whole family treats Reggie great. We're so happy to have found them and I recommend them to many colleagues and friends.”
“Rafaelina and her family were amazing with Chewie! He was so happy staying with them and having so many friends to run around with all day. They sent daily photos and messages to keep me updated on Chewie which I really appreciated. We will definitely use them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby!”
“Soni seemed very attentive and hands-on, providing Beau with lots of outdoor and play time. She also sent me many photos and videos throughout each day, so I always felt in the loop with how he was doing. Overall Beau looked like he had a fantastic time and I would definitely trust Soni to watch him again in the future!”
“Jenna was the perfect match for our pup. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout out her stay. Next time we need to go out of town, we will definitely book with Jenna again. Our puppy had plenty of playmates and cuddle buddies too!”
“Our dog Paddy had a great stay with Jennifer. Jennifer was always responsive, caring and attentive to our sweet girl. She sent us daily pictures throughout the stay. I could not be happier with how Paddy was taken care of. I highly recommend Jennifer and will use her again for sure!”
“Stephanie & Corey have been nothing short of awesome when caring for my 14 y/o chihuahua. They were excellent with communication, showed loving concern throughout his stay, and administered various medications - going as far as to report how it went and provide feedback on his state of being, which was always cozy! They are excellent and I recommend not hesitating when booking them.”
“Robert was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and attentive while caring for my dog, Miranda. He took the time to ask detailed questions so he could provide the best possible care, which immediately gave me confidence. He also explained his backup care system in case of an emergency, something I really appreciated. Throughout Miranda’s stay, Robert communicated regularly and sent adorable photos that reassured me she was happy and well cared for. His home has a fenced outdoor area where she was able to socialize safely with other dogs, and she clearly enjoyed her time there. I would definitely leave my dog with Robert again. I felt completely confident that she was not only safe, but genuinely cared for and loved. I highly recommend him.”
“Natali was great! She took great care of our dog, Spud, and sent us lots of pictures of their walks and adventures. We’d trust her with Spud any time.”
“Elizaveta did a fantastic job watching our Boston Terrier for almost 3 weeks. Our little guy is often afraid of new people and being away from our family, but with her he was super comfortable right away - I think her dog helped with the process. Definitely recommend and would use again.”
“Cindy was such a sweetheart in working with me on short notice with my two puppies. I know they are a handful but she was attentive to him, especially her sons. I know they loved it and the back porch, as we were leaving one of my pups gave a hug goodbye. I love having my pups back, I can tell they missed me and they’re home.”

Mochi had such a great time with Lee and her dogs, Milo and Mikey! Lee sent many pictures and videos throughout Mochi's stay at her house and sent me updates about Mochi's sleeping and eating habits and the toys she liked playing with while there. She made a best buddy with Milo. We could trust Lee completely with Mochi and would book her again!
We were very nervous about leaving our 3 year old mini-Golden, Cane, for the first time ever for such an extended period of time, however, Matt and Christianna made us feel very comfortable when we met them. While on vacation we received numerous photos and for a while we wondered if Cane would want to come home. It was obvious that he was having a great time and was being treated like he was a member of their family. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and cared for while you are away.
Sunny was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and always has such a positive attitude. Communication was excellent from start to finish—she responded quickly to every message and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very thoughtful and accommodating when my plans changed, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Everything went smoothly, and I had zero issues throughout the entire booking. I could tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Sunny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My dog spent 21 days in Yuchen’s house, and he was very happy with Yuchen’s family and her dog. Yuchen sent me pictures and videos everyday: my dog running in her large backyard, sleeping on the comfortable couch…. Yuchen is kind and responsible, highly recommended!
Joanne goes above and beyond for boarding! We did a meet and greet beforehand, she helped communicate what to expect when leaving our pup for the first time and communicated a lot while we were gone which helped calm our nerves. Marshall was in great hands and couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave him with. We would highly recommend her!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Northvale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Northvale 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 Northvale.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northvale. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Northvale 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
