“Kody had the best time. The family was absolutely amazing with Kody. He had the best time and made lots of new friends and was well taken care of. Received tons of pictures and videos of Kody's new adventures. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again with this family.”
“Brianna was great with our dog! She watched him for a week and sent daily photos/updates. Our dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs but Brianna was very accommodating to his needs. Will definitely book again with her in the future.”
“Lindsey and her family were great. They took amazing care of Rocky and updated my family daily with pictures and how he is doing. Rocky seemed to have enjoyed his staycation with them and appeared sad leaving them. Will definitely rebook with them with further dog sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using Rover so I was definitely nervous but Darrin, Debra, and Emily are a very welcoming family. The fact that they already have two huskies meant they already knew the loud stubbornness of the breed. They also sent me pictures of my wolves which eased my mind that they were in good hands. Logan and Larry had such a great time because they came back exhausted from all the excitement. I will definitely be using them again!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Enis took very good care of Sophie while we were away for the weekend. He has a very calm and caring demeanor. He sent some pictures and was very responsive to my texts. I was a little nervous leaving her because she is a diabetic and needed her insulin injections at meals. He was able to give her the shots as instructed. She seemed very happy when I came to pick her up. Definitely recommend and will visit again!”
“Rosemeri was sweet to take my Rikki on short notice, and she was great with him -- she totally pampered him, and it was clear from the many photos / updates she shared that he was made to feel at home! I'm a nervous dog mom, and she put me at ease that he was in very good hands.”
“This is the 2nd time Kun and his wife watched over Thor, and Thor never wants to leave. He had so much fun with them and their puppy Som. Thank you for always taking such great care of Thor and for always being incredible communicators!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog, and Amanda made his entire stay worry-free. My dog had an absolute blast! He enjoyed tons of play time and cuddles, along with a consistent schedule. I really appreciated Amanda treating him like her own, and all of the thorough updates. Highly recommend!”
“Desi and Marilyn took excellent care of Bella. They have a pet resort in their backyard. They sent me pics/videos daily to show me what she was up to. I highly recommend them.”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“Milena is a gem; our dog has a wonderful time with her, is extremely well cared for, and (if we’re honest), is probably a little sad when we come to pick her up after a stay with Milena. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience and couldn’t be happier with the care our 8 month old puppy received from Kinjal! We left him for one night and felt reassured knowing he was in such good hands. Kinjal took wonderful care of him, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate the love and attention Kinjal gave our fur baby and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their puppy. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Ryan is great. My dog stayed with him for two nights! Ryan shared a lot updates and photos throughout the day. Plenty of play time and multiple walks!”
“Karla was wonderful. Great communication, super fast replies, oodles of pictures sent, and just a really great vibe. Ramona clearly had a wonderful time during her stay and she came home clean and happy. We will not hesitate to book again with Karla!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She took such great care of him and made sure I felt at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—they always brought a smile to my face. It was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Grace again!”

We’ve had Yuberkis watch our two dogs several times now, and each time they seem to get more comfortable with her. During this last stay, they really looked like they were at home! It’s clear how much care and thought she puts into looking after them. We also love seeing how caring and attentive she is with all the dogs she watches. We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving our dogs with. We highly recommend her!

My dog Koda had a very wonderful time staying at Christabel‘s house for the second time and I definitely will be using her moving forward whenever I go out. if you’re looking for someone who is a second Mom to your pet Christabel is who you want watching them. She treats them as if they were her own.
Alex was great with Tahlia. He loved her like his own. Tahlia was well cared for. Tahlia was very comfortable and happy the minute she met him. Alex also sent me pictures of Tahlia while I was on my trip. Alex Also went out of his was to pick up more food for Tahlia when it ran out. Tahlia enjoyed the back yard and walks. She also loved playing with his dog. Such a warm and friendly person and lovely house. Alex tucked Tahlia in bed every night. Tahlia wanted to stay. I would definitely leave Tahlia with him again. His family was also friendly and care. I would highly recommend Alex. I am so happy and relieved I found Alex
Jessica has been absolutely wonderful - she provided great care for our dog while we were away. Our dog is very slow to trust people but Jessica managed to gain his trust almost immediately. She took great care in providing him his medications plus his dietary food, and it was obvious that he had a great time staying with her! Thank you Jessica!
This was our second time leaving Nipsey & Rosie with Lindsey, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! Lindsey and her family take such wonderful care of our dogs and treat them with so much love and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We’re truly so thankful we found Lindsey and couldn’t recommend her enough! Nipsey & Rosie are always so happy and well cared for when they’re with her.
Fran was wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly kind and caring, and Nova took to her right away. Fran made sure Nova was eating well and kept us updated each day with pictures and messages about how she was doing. We felt completely at ease knowing Nova was in such great hands. We would definitely recommend Fran!
Moonyoung and Sunhyung took such wonderful care of our dog Nova. From the very begining, they were thoughful, kind and caring. They asked all the right questions and really took the time to understand Nova's needs and personality. They provided daily updates on how Nova was doing along with a few pictures!

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 Nutley 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 Nutley 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 Nutley.
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 Nutley. 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 Nutley 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.
