“I have never entrusted Dexter's care to anyone outside my immediate family, but after our initial meet and greet with Cathy at her home my mind was completely at ease. You can tell that she truly loves and cares for animals and the house is very dog-friendly. She sent me an update each of the two days I was gone, and a photo of Dexter hanging out in the backyard. Highly recommended!”

“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”

“We always hope Hope is available when we go on vacation because our dog Benny loves staying there. The dog is nervous when he's left alone, with is never a problem with Hope; he gets the attention he needs, and can run around in her backyard and lay in the sun. Hope only books one dog at a time, which is major plus. Always a pleasure in our interactions, highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Old Tappan
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! ❤️🐾
Kyungwon and Henry were absolutely wonderful sitters! They were so caring with my pup and paid close attention to every detail of his schedule. Since he’s still a puppy, they took extra care to keep up with his nap times and made sure he was comfortable around their other dogs. They also sent so many photos and videos throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Their communication and thoughtful care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them and would happily have our little one stay again!
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
