“Sunny was a fantastic dog sitter and we would 100% book with her again! She was extremely communicative throughout Ruby’s stay and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with her. Sunny was also incredibly accommodating when our flight was delayed and we were late picking Ruby up. Most importantly, Ruby was a very happy dog when we picked her up! Highly recommend Sunny.”
“Ann was really great with our pup. It was his first boarding experience and it went very smoothly, I can tell my dog was happy and would have no problems staying with Ann again in the future. Ann kept us updated throughout the stay and overall was very professional.”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Cathy was great to Chauncey during his vacation at her home. Chauncey played fetch with Cathy and her daughter, which is his all time favorite activity! He was in heaven. Chauncey has tummy issues, so naturally I was worried that he would get sick, but Cathy kept his food separate and made sure he stuck to his diet. Chauncey came home exhausted from all of the fun with the new friends he made. I am very protective of my fur baby, so I am selective when choosing a sitter. I would recommend Cathy if you are looking for the best.”
“It’s the third time I’ve booked with Priscilla and what can I say that hasn’t been said in all her amazing reviews?! She is the best - when we book with her; it’s true peace of mind that Watson is being taken care of. She truly loves dogs and doesn’t treat watching him like a chore. So grateful for her and the daily pictures of Watson having the best time of his life.”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very happy with the entire experience and Hope. I left my 3 year old yellow lab with her for 16 days and she took such good care of her. She sent me updates and pictures every day so I knew she was OK. She has a huge backyard so Brooke was able to run around and get tons of energy out. I would definitely use Hope again for our next vacation :)”
“Melissa and her entire family were great. Our highly energetic Australian Shepherd had a wonderful stay. Melissa sent us updates including pictures and videos. Bailey was walked and had play time with several other dogs. We had great confidence in leaving our dog with Melissa and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care.”
“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!”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“Rhinesca took great care of our guy while we were away. We received updates on his daily walks and he was so happy. We were worried he would not want to come home. In the future we will certainly book another stay.”
“Lauryn was amazing! She had cared for our dog Stella during our moving process. Needless to say Stella’s well-being was one less worry on our minds during the craziness of moving. We received photos during her stay and after picking her up we could sense Stella had a great time and was very comfortable with Lauryn. We will definitely keep Lauryn in mind shall we need a sitter again. Thank you again!”
“Brittany was excellent! She cared for our dogs like they were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates — it really showed how attentive and caring she is. Her fenced yard made us feel especially comfortable about our dogs’ safety, and she made sure they got outside multiple times each day for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would definitely recommend her. Truly kind and caring!”
“Stella stayed with Peiyi for a week and could not have been happier. Peiyi was very responsive and accommodating to our needs and is clearly a dog lover. Stella was well cared for and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in great hands. We highly recommend booking with Peiyi!”

“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”
“Lucy took excellent care of our 1 year-old golden doodle! She requires lots of activity which she got at the park daily. Lucy provided great daily updates including videos of their adventures and snaps of her enjoying the day at home playing with toys or just watching people go by out the window.

I highly recommend Lee k. to watch over your pets. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided for my dog and cat. She gave Hunter plenty of outside time and walks and provided many photo updates to see what a good time he was having! She followed the schedule and complex feeding instructions for my cat It was much appreciated. Lee k truly loves animals and gives them lots of love and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Will use her again.
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our dog had such a wonderful stay! We received lots of photo updates throughout the visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. In every picture, our dog looked so happy and had the biggest smile. It was clear that they were well cared for and having a great time. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Matthew and Christianna are WONDERFUL sitters. They are a caring, kind and empathetic couple who truly love pets. Matthew and Christianna treated our 2 1/2 year old malshi, Chloe, as their own. During our vacation, we received many pics of Chloe relaxed and happy in their home. They made sure that Chloe ate properly, had enough exercise and was entertained by their two little ones who were very kind to her. We HIGHLY recommend Matthew and Christianna as sitters. We will definitely ask them to care for Chloe when we are away and will feel relaxed and appreciative in the knowledge that she is loved and cared for!
Hope was an amazing dog sitter for my Shiba Inu. Her space is clean, dog friendly both inside the house and outside with a fenced backyard, plus she is very friendly and loving towards the animals. She checked in multiple times per day with pictures and progress reports on eating/activity/and using the bathroom when hosting my pet. Rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with Hope. Thank you.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Old Tappan sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Old Tappan landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Old Tappan 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 Old Tappan.
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.
You and your Old Tappan 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.
