“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! 🥰”
“Great service! Was away on a cruise for a week barely had service but everyday received videos and pictures of my 2 dogs. One a little crazy but loving so I'm glad it worked out and he was taken good care of. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Aeli provided our fur baby. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Aeli🤎”
“Danae was great with our two beagles. From the pictures and videos we received we saw that the boys had a lot of fun. We would definitely recommend Danae for your four legged friends.”
“Our twelve year old chipoo had a wonderful stay with Rafaelina over the holidays. I could tell he was given lots of exercise, attention and love. We received several update pics and notes each day as well, which was very comforting. Highly recommended!”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Another amazing experience for Watson with Melissa! She provides so many updates and photos/videos of him. Watson is clearly so comfortable and taken care of while staying with Melissa and her family. He goes on so many walks and is truly with a family who loves animals. So grateful for the help!”
“When my dog sitter fell through last minute before the long weekend, I was scrambling and I turned to Rover. Monica and Kelvin were available, very communicative and my dog came home relaxed and happy! Would definitely re-book.”
“As always, thank you to Ken and Irene for taking such good care of our boy! Our family appreciates them so much for the peace of mind we have when we have to go somewhere that Chief is safe, well cared for, and happy. Chief absolutely adored their dog, Holly, and we get so many updates and photos of them playing in their big, fenced in yard throughout the day. They also make drop off and pick up so easy. Always a pleasure!”
“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!”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“Joanna took great care of Teddy. I loved that Joanna hosted another dog of similar size to play with him. She took many pictures and was always in contact with me. Teddy looked very happy and satisfied with his time with Joanna.”

I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home. Pet care is a natural fit for my daily routine, and I’m available full-time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and keeping your pet comfortable in their normal routine. I understand how important consistency and reliable care are, especially when you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual schedule and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities.

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. 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.

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 .
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.
