“JoEllen has been the best sitter we’ve ever had for Scout. Scout was on a vacation during his stay! Not only did he get to be around a loving family, but he had a huge backyard to run in, trips to the beach, and even got to meet and play with a new dog friend in JoEllen’s neighborhood. JoEllen included Scout in her daily activities like picking up her daughter from school which was something I really loved. He got to do so many fun things and he came home exhausted! We got soo many pictures, videos, and updated throughout his stay which eased my mind knowing he was safe and loved. JoEllen and her entire family treated Scout like their own. Maybe a little too much since JoEllen’s daughter asked if they could keep him!! Haha Scout will absolutely be visiting JoEllen’s again in the near future. I couldn’t recommend her more :)”
“Our dog was at Michael’s for a week - for the first time and though I think it was a bit challenging for our dog to get used to the new anvironment and few other dogs Michael made sure that Archie was well taken care of and as calm as possible. Michael sent us daily updates with pictures and videos. Great service and care and would recommend Michael to anyone. Five stars all the way. And we appreciate your care and love for dogs.”
“Nena was so “at home” and relaxed with Thomas. He is obviously a dog lover and he pampered our girl. We trust him to leave our Nena in his hands and will definitely be regular clients.”
“Brian was so nice. We received updates and pictures regularly and can tell Kingston and Irie were getting so much love and affection while we were away! Kingston even ate his food right away, which means he felt comfortable. We will absolutely ask Brian to dog sit for us in the future. We highly recommend him!”
“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from walking and bathing to feeding, playing, and cleaning up after them. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also very patient and understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and needs. I currently do not have e a dog and only accept one dog at a time, so you’ll dog will have my sole attention. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside for walks and spending time with pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a big fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play and do whatever they like. I have plenty of room in my house and your pet will be safe, fed, and happy. MUST BE HOUSE TRAINED
“Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“Meg and her family were everything that we were looking for for our dearest Pinji! A loving family home with a fenced yard, a fellow doggie(Jameson & Pinji almost looked like twins!! 💕) their daughter Kensie who's a cutie pie and just like our home, treating Pinji as a family member and allowing her everywhere and even sleeping on her bed with her! This was above and beyond what we were looking for and we're so happy that we found them! God Bless this family forever 🙏🏻💖💞”
“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”
“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”

About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.
“Thank you for making Lonesome's visit such a wonderful experience. All of the pictures you sent showed him having such a wonderful time. He loves to run and play and it was great to see him come home so exhausted!! He slept for about 2 days straight. LOL.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Our Goldendoodle was so well cared for and she absolutely loved playing with their son. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. We’re so grateful for the loving care and great communication! We will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Grove
Meghan was absolutely exceptional! Jackson stayed with her and her husband for 5 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates and adorable pictures that put me at ease. She took care of Jackson as if he were her own, with nice walks, treat games, and we even brought home a special piece of art he made! It was clear how much love and attention she gave him throughout his stay. I would 100% book with Meghan again and cannot recommend her enough.
Brian was so nice. We received updates and pictures regularly and can tell Kingston and Irie were getting so much love and affection while we were away! Kingston even ate his food right away, which means he felt comfortable. We will absolutely ask Brian to dog sit for us in the future. We highly recommend him!
Keith and his wife Jennifer are amazing with my greyhounds and my greys truly love them. They are a special breed and former racers, so they have some personalities. They always come back so content and happy. They are previous dog owners of large breeds, so I feel very comfortable to leave my sticks with them. Highly recommend.
Sydney was amazing with our senior dog, Maggie! As an older dog, Maggie requires multiple medications and can be very particular about the people she trusts, so finding the right sitter is incredibly important to us. Maggie absolutely adores Sydney, which speaks volumes. Sydney was patient, attentive, and took such wonderful care of her, making sure all of her medications and needs were handled perfectly. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and had complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter!
Best experience with Annie!!! She was consistently sending updates/pics and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Juno was socialized and soo exhausted when she came back, which was a great sign to confirm how much fun she had all weekend. Thank you again, I will 100% be booking again and highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a high-touch dog care experience.
Katie is the best!! We hate leaving Loki, but we know when he’s with Katie he’s on a vacation of his own. She sends pictures/videos/updates constantly to give us peace of mind when we are missing our baby! This was our second time leaving Loki with Katie and definitely will not be the last. Going on vacation is way easier knowing our pup is happy and well taken care of.
Alexis was awesome with our doggie Kala. I would recommend her highly! She is very kind, VERY communicative in a way that made me feel relaxed that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. My dog and her dog enjoyed playing which is a big plus for us. Overall great experience.
We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!
Carol Ann and John happily accepted Juno in a pinch when I had a circumstance that required last-minute hosting. During my time away, they sent me photos and notes to let me know that she was having fun and that all was going well at their home. Their care for Juno and understanding of her energetic needs made me so comfortable. I am glad they had her for this weekend away!!! Thank you.
Marc exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond. Did a meet & greet last minute,took her even though she was sick.Had no problem giving her medication. Took lots of pics and videos to ease my mind. Answered all my concerns. Washed her blanket casue it got stained. Even treated her to home made dog food. Not sure lacey is happy to be back with me! LOL. My flight got delayed 2x and Marc waited up late till i could pick her up. He's just the best.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
