“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“Jocelyn takes great care of hammy every time! She sends photos of him and always keeps me updated on how he is doing. She also gave him a bath for me as well which was very helpful!”
“We’re happy to find Jesus! We visit the area often enough and sometimes need a place for Hunter. Great to know we can take him with us and if we need a place for him to board, we can rely on Jesus! Thank you for taking him!”
“Cathy was a great sitter for our three small dogs during our vacation. She has a nice fenced yard and sent frequent updates and photos of our pups during our trip. We definitely recommend her and plan to have them stay with her again in the future. Thanks Cathy!”
“We have had Aeli care for our Lola multiple times when we had to go out of town. Each experience was amazing. Great communication and periodic photos along with a very happy and fun experience for Lola. Will definitely use again.”
“Danae took good care of booski while I was away. I can tell that he liked her when he started barking while she was walking away. Will definitely book with her in the future and can tell she loves dogs.”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“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!”
“Hope was amazing! She communicated with us regularly. We picked up our dog Winston and his tail was wagging with excitement. Winston is a rescue so sometimes he’s timid but he warmed right up to Hope and her husband. Their home is beautiful with a sprawling backyard. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”
“This was the first time since rescuing Lucy 2 years ago, that she was left with someone other than a family member. It was a week long stay and Doreen was very accommodating. Perfect home for a dog with separation anxiety and the fenced in yard was such a plus. I received updates and frequent photos of Lucy. I would recommend Doreen wholeheartedly.”
“We’re very happy with Liza. She was very conscientious and loving with our dog. From the very start, we felt completely comforted knowing that he was in such good hands. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos throughout our 10-day trip. We will definitely book her again!”
“Peiyi and Gregory took great care of our dogs again. This time was for a nine night stay! I received daily updates and our dogs really bonded with them. We’re happy to have found such great care for our pups.”
“Tere was amazing with our 4 month old puppy. She sent us photos and videos frequently that put our minds at ease. My puppy was happy, healthy and clean throughout the stay and after. Will definitely book again.”
“Jennifer and her husband took wonderful care of our dogs. From the initial meet-and-greet to drop-off and pick-up, everything was smooth and easy. We received updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely trust Jennifer with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾💕”
“We had a great experience with Jessica, who watched our 2 dogs for almost a week. She communicated with me regularly, sending updates on my boys’ daily activities, meal times, etc. I never felt at all worried about them! Great dog sitter - highly recommend!”
“Lady & Christian are fantastic! My toy poodle was well taken care of. I highly recommend! This was my first experience with Rover.com, and while I cannot speak about any other sitter, I can say I am completely happy with Lady & Christian! They are a lovely couple with a sweet family and an immaculately kept home. I felt confident leaving my toy poodle with them. They kept me up to date with daily photos and videos and were so responsive. Usually after staying with sitters, my dog won’t eat and exhibit signs of an upset stomach. After bringing him home after being with Lady & Christian, my dog is perfectly happy, healthy, and eating well! I am going to rebook with them for our next trip. Thanks, Lady & Christian!”
“Camila was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with photos and videos and took such great care of Winnie. Her dog Milo was also amazing—he and Winnie got along so well and played together perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again—couldn’t be happier with the experience!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northvale
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.
Lee was absolutely wonderful with Abby! She was so attentive, caring, and responsive throughout her stay. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent me every day—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Abby was happy and well cared for. Lee made sure Abby ate well, got plenty of walks, and received lots of love and attention. It was also such a great plus that Abby got along so well with her two Goldendoodles. Seeing how happy and comfortable Abby was with them made me feel so reassured. I’m truly so happy with the care Abby received. Lee is kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you so much, Lee, for taking such great care of my girl! ❤️🐾
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!

95% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Northvale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.
