“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“Mike is amazing. I needed to board my 10 1/2 year old beagle , Kobe on short notice. Within minutes , Mike responded to my request and he was flexible in his schedule . Throughout Kobe’s stay, I received numerous updates from Mike showing how well my fur baby was doing. I was fully at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Mike is not only friendly but highly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for your pet. He took the time to fully understand my dog’s needs and temperament which in turn, helped Kobe to acclimate well to a different environment. I know I will always rely on Mike to care for Kobe.”
“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”
“Carol was absolutely awesome! She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and reassured us that our pups were in good hands. She was flexible which we needed as we were hiring her ahead of having our baby who ended up coming early and she was gracious enough to move up our days. When she had questions she would reach out which we appreciated as our pups have skin issues and very sensitive stomachs. Carol and her family love pets and it is so evident by how happy our pups were at pick up and we will 100% be leaving our pups with her again. When we were driving off our pups were crying because they didn't want to leave. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Heidy was great! She took care of my pup Lady when I had to travel for a last-minute trip and it was incredibly easy. She’s easy to communicate with and I think Lady had a good time.”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“We left Reggie in Ankita’s care for two weeks while we were abroad. Since then, she’s also been helping us with doggy daycare. She kept us updated throughout the trip, sending regular snaps and videos that really helped ease our nerves. Ankita is an excellent communicator—she’s very careful with the puppies and respectful toward their parents. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy daycare or boarding. Thank you so much, Ankita!”
“Rocío was great! Sent us lots of pics and kept us updated. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and had a lot of time to play. When we picked them up it looked like they were bathed ! We will be back!”
“Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Desi and Marilyn were amazing. My dog is very shy but he felt right at home with the other dogs at their place. They sent updates daily and were very accommodating. When I need a dog sitter again I will definitely come back to them. Will recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. They were very professional and carefully introduced new dogs to each other to prevent any issues. They have a large outdoor play area for the dogs and multiple levels of gates for safety and prevent escapes.”
“Just Amazing! Drop off to pickup was seamless. I would trust her with Shadow anytime. Thanks so much for taking great care of my baby! If anyone has doubts, DONT! Book her immediately!! ❤️”
“Teresa was fantastic. Gave us updates with photos, has a great environment for the dogs, and most importantly, our dog came back without any behavioral changes. Just the same happy dog we dropped off.”
“Our dog Willow had an excellent visit. Cheyenne kept in touch and shared pictures and moments while we were away. We highly recommend her if you need overnight dog sitting.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by them and have spent my entire life loving, caring for, and understanding their unique personalities and needs. To me, dogs aren't just pets, they're family. Having cared for dogs through different stages of life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, affection, and making them feel safe and comfortable. After recently experiencing the heartbreaking loss of my own beloved dogs, I realized how much joy animals bring into my life. Caring for other people's furry family members is a meaningful way for me to continue sharing that love. What sets me apart is that I don't see pet sitting as just a job. I genuinely love dogs and will treat yours with the same attention, kindness, and care I've always given my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life! I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. From morning walks and feeding routines to playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles, I can easily incorporate their needs into my schedule. I love having furry companions around, and working from home allows me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved without being left alone for long periods. Having dogs around has always made my days brighter, and I'm excited to share that love and attention with yours! A cozy home, a park just steps away, and lots of love to give! 🐾 I work remotely, so your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a double crate available for overnight stays if needed. Whether at my place or yours, I'll follow your pet's routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!
“Stephanie was amazing with our pup! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. She sent us multiple pictures daily to ease our minds that our buddy was in good hands. He loved his time there with Stephanie and Toby so much that he didn’t want to come back home with us 🤣”
“Usually when I board Prince at the vet he is mad at me for a day or two. This time he came home happy which means Kathie took good care of him and he had a good time. Next time I go away I will definitely request Kathie.”
“I couldn’t be happier with how Priscilla looked after my dog Piper! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Piper left her very happy! We have already booked Priscilla for our next trip. 5 stars!”

We had a great experience with her! She was very responsive and sent us photos of my dog every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog seemed to have a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated that she took care of his medications as well. We’re very happy with the care she provided and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful experience! They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. The whole family is so loving and caring, and it’s clear how much they genuinely love dogs. They even prepared extra blankets for Pepper because they were worried he might get cold. They were so thoughtful and attentive to every little detail. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave Pepper and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Allison took great care of my dog, Quinn. Quinn is a senior dog who can be a little anxious, and Allison kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. She also has a fenced in backyard, which Quinn really enjoyed. Thank you for taking such good care of her!
Chen was great with Chowchow! She sent lots of photos and videos throughout his stay which I really appreciated. It was nice being able to see what he was up to and know he was doing well. She was very communicative, attentive, and clearly took good care of him. I’d definitely book with her again!

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 Paramus 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 Paramus 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 Paramus.
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 Paramus. On Rover:
- 85% 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 Paramus 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.
