“Aeli and her husband are incredible! They took care of my dog really well, made sure he feels at home, and sent me pictures and videos everyday! It’s clear that they know dogs really well and are incredibly caring!”
“I booked with Carol for boarding my dog. She was fantastic! She took very good care of my dog and adhered to feedings, walks, play time, and all the fun things my dog loves to do. She communicated well with me and provided pictures and updates each day. I can tell my dog enjoyed his time with her. If I need to board my dog again, I will definitely be booking with Carol again.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“I had a fantastic stay. Zuleyka, went the extra mile for me, from making modifications to my dates which was an inconvenience to her. She gave me updates throughout the days he was there. I would definitely recommend and be a repeat client.”
“My 6-month old German Shepherd Yarra stayed with Loida for 2 weeks. It was like a dream vacation. There was a spacious area in the house for Yarra settle in, a backyard to run around, and occasionally other dogs to play with. Loida has been sending me frequent updates and pictures so I was worry-free the whole time. Loida is very thoughtful and knowlegeable about dogs, she gave me very good advice as I am a first-time dog owner. She loves dogs and takes really good care of them. I can tell my dog had a good time as she did not want to leave Loida' place when it was time to get back home! I will definitely bring Yarra back to Loida next time I need to travel.”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“I'm incredibly impressed with the level of care and attention provided by Karla. From regular updates with photos and videos to prompt responses and consistent meal schedules, it's clear that she goes above and beyond to ensure my dog's well-being. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you Karla.”
“Michelle did a great job watching both of our dogs during our Christmas vacation! We didn’t have to worry about them at all! We really appreciated all of the pictures she sent too.”
“This past weekend was our first time using Rover and we were a little wary about using the service. That immediately went away when we did a pre-meet with Ritu and Nischaya. I appreciated that they wanted to meet our dog prior to agreeing to watch him overnight. When we left our dog, they were so attentive and connected with him right away. They treated our dog like their own and sent multiple updates, pictures, and videos. We could tell how much fun he was having! They took him for walks and he played in the yard a few times a day. They were so responsive and gave us complete peace of mind. We could not be happier with the care that they provided! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter!”
“Rocio amazing care of my dog! She sent me regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. My puppy was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!!!”
“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”
“I have a rescue named Daisy and I’ve never left her with anyone before. I was so worried, but when I gave my little daisy to Rosie, she took such good care of her. She sent me photos, played with her and fed and walked her. I would 100% book with Rosie again!”
“Eleanor is awesome!!! I reached out to her for an emergency to keep my 5month old GSD pupp for a day. She was kind enough to keep him and took every good care of my pupp.. I highly recommend her. My pupp loved her place and secured backyard is a blessing in disguise”
“Due to some last minute changes, we had to find boarding for our 7 year old pup for 8 nights (!). It was our pups' second time boarding ever (1st time was at an animal hospital and it went terribly). We decided to give boarding a 2nd chance, and our dog was in good hands. Andrew safely and thoughtfully integrated our 20 lb. pup into the existing playgroups, to the point where the little guy made big dog friends! Andrew was clear and concise in his communication and availability. He was also clear and concise in his expectations for our dog and the dogs he cares for, raising the bar for their behaviors. All the videos he sent us had plenty of wagging tails. Our pup came home happy, spunky, and more obedient.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland
Kacy was amazing with my puppy. She’s warm, friendly and attentive. She took care of Remy as if he was hers. They went on walks and she even washed his blanket. He was a little home sick at bedtime and she stayed with him so he wasn’t anxious. She sent pictures and messages while we were away and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I definitely would recommend Kacy and use her again!
This is our pup's 3rd time staying with Bayan. We are so grateful to have found her and her family! They always take such good care of our pup and always keeps us posted with pictures and videos. Their pup is also very sweet and gentle and we're so happy our pup has a playmate while he's there. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Kayla and Vanessa were wonderful hosts for our dog Cusco! They are super sweet and welcoming, and have lots of experience. They sent us cute photos the entire stay and Cusco looked very happy. Communication was topnotch--thorough and transparent. They really took the time to get to know Cusco's needs/schedule/personality. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to care for our furry ones, and we definitely had that. 100% would rebook with them. Thank you ladies!!
Deborah was a lifesaver!!! She came to the rescue last minute when our pet sitter canceled due to a family emergency less than 24 hours before our trip on Christmas!! She made drop off simple, we knew our dog would be in great hands when we saw her yard with a double gate and a large patch of grass cleared from the snow!! She kept in constant contact including pictures and videos to reassure us our dog was safe and sound!! We highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter, she’s absolutely amazing for senior dog needs!!!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
