“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“Kun was so great to have during this trip! He sent us constant updates throughout the day in order to keep us posted about how our dog was doing and always was super understanding. Would definitely re-book.”
“Carolina took amazing care of our 1 year old cavapoo! She has a beautiful dog Daisy who was so friendly and playful and other dogs for her to play with too. We got daily updates while our dog was in her care - with pictures too!!! Her whole family was so wonderful - we would definitely book Carolina again when we travel!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Teresa took very good care of my two dogs when my family and I went on vacation for 6 nights. She corresponded daily with photos, and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy staying with her and I will definitely reach out to her again for her services.”
“Paola is a wonderful person that took great care of my beloved pet dog he had the most amazing stay with her and her family he got to play a lot with her kids that were extremely sweet and so good with the dog. She has a beautiful clean home on a nice street with a fenced in yard that was perfect for my dog to play whenever he wanted. I highly recommend Paola to stay with your pet when you can’t, she is an excellent caregiver. Thank you Paola”
“From the time I dropped my dog off,to when I picked him up and even after Keisy has been a total sweetheart….From sending pictures of him playing around, she even went above and beyond as to showering him and washing his blanket. In which no dog sitter as done before.It’s the small details that count and truly makes me want to use her again in the future hands down…”

“Caring family who took our Obie in and treated him very well. Yesenia sent videos of Obie playing, making us feel good and confident that he was having a great time.”
“We have used Desi and Marilyn a few times now and we are very happy! They go above and beyond and our dogs are well taken care of. We’ve also had some last minute time and date changes and they are extremely accommodating. Highly recommend!!”
“Ankita was absolutely wonderful with my pet. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. She treated my pet like her own and made sure every detail was taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and responsibility she showed. I highly recommend Anikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Briana took care of our dog Happy for 9 days while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job, and we could tell that she and Happy had formed a nice bond. She was very responsive to our texts. We received photos every day of them playing, going on walks, and relaxing together. We did a video call as well to check in. Happy was very comfortable, and enjoyed her time under Brianna's care. We'll definitely hire Brianna again in the future.”
“Rhea & Michael were amazing dog sitters for Ozzie & Zoe! Ozzie is a rescue that is very afraid of new people and is very vocal about his fears. Despite being a more challenging dog, Rhea & Michael still opened their home up to our pups and gave them plenty of undivided attention. Zoe is a cattle dog mix with endless energy. We received daily text messages/pictures of her playing fetch in their fully fenced in quiet yard and then pictures of her being tuckered out and napping after. They were extremely patient and understanding of our dogs' specific needs. By the end of the trip, Ozzie had actually become friends with them, which is high praise from him! Your dogs will be treated like family if you chose Rhea & Michael to watch them 💕”
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“Liz and Oleg and their kids were great with my pooch. She felt right at home at their house. Liz sent me photos throughout the day so I did not worry about her at all.”
“Funda was excellent, we had requested her to take care of Goofy pretty last minute and she took him without any hesitation. Very friendly with us and our Goofy, gentle and loving. Goofy was so at ease with her, even we were comfortable leaving him in her care. She was also very proactive in sending us pictures and video updates of goofy.”

Funda and her family took wonderful care of my 1 year old rescue pup! He had only been with us for 4 weeks and had just started to relax…but I was nervous to leave him overnight so soon. She sent pictures and updates- and I saw he was doing great- and I immediately relaxed. I saw Max was in good hands. I would absolutely leave him with her again 😎
We boarded our dogs, Kobe & Charlie, with Desi & Marilyn for the first time and they were very well taken care of. It was Charlie’s first time boarding, and since he’s a rescue, we knew it would be an adjustment for him. Desi did a great job making sure Charlie was comfortable and slowly getting him acquainted with the pack. They also sent us videos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. Thank you both!
Marcy did a wonderful job pet sitting my dog! She was caring and attentive. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Marcy was also reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving to care for their pets. Thank you so much, Marcy!
Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb
Carolina took amazing care of our 1 year old cavapoo! She has a beautiful dog Daisy who was so friendly and playful and other dogs for her to play with too. We got daily updates while our dog was in her care - with pictures too!!! Her whole family was so wonderful - we would definitely book Carolina again when we travel!
Valerie was great with my senior dog, Gerry, who she watched for about a week while I was on vacation. Between his age and his separation anxiety, Gerry isn’t always the easiest pup, but Valerie knew how to let him settle in — when to love him up, when to distract him, and when to give him space. She always updated me on how he was doing, and worked with me to find solutions if he seemed particularly grumpy. Gerry also has a bit of a complicated medication regimen, which Valerie handled perfectly. She clearly has experience will all types of dogs and their needs, and I felt confident leaving Gerry in her capable hands. I’d absolutely call Valerie again!
Florence was amazing with Enzo! She kept me updated throughout his stay, sent me pictures, and took such great care of him. I felt very comfortable knowing Enzo was in good hands while I was away. He seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with Florence again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾
Keisy was wonderful! She kept me up to date everyday with messages and pictures, and she was responsive, friendly and kind. She also accepted my request at the last minute, when my other plans fell through, she was a total lifesaver! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. My pups came home happy, healthy and well cared for.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Paterson 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 Paterson 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 Paterson 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 Paterson.
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 Paterson 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.
