“Steven was wonderful with Luna. I could tell she was very loved and taken care of while she stayed with them. He asked all the right questions to let me know she should be safe and comfortable, and understood when my brain was a mess and I forgot to bring her bed and kennel. He kept me up to date every day with wonderful pictures to let me know she was doing well and happy, and responded very quickly any time I reached out. You can tell that Steven and his family genuinely care for and love your pets as if they were their own. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone who asks or need a place for their pup to stay!”
“Excellent first boarding. Brodie and Rian came home happy and healthy. Both dogs can experience stress colitis and neither dog did this time. This tells me they had a great time and Kristin provided them with a home away from home. Thank you for caring for my furteens-Appreciate you!”
“Whitney and Michael took amazing care of Esther. Esther seems to have really enjoyed the stay and was kept entertained and loved by their young daughters. They did a great job of keeping us updated with cute photos. :) 10/10 would recommend Whitney and Michael’s home as a great place to board your dog!”
“Tanvi was fantastic with our dog (as always)! We were away on a two-week vacation, and Tanvi kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Milo had a great time playing with new friends, and we didn't worry for a second because we knew he was in the best hands.”
“Jolanta was the perfect sitter for our nervous puppy. She has a beautiful home with a fenced backyard, and our puppy loved getting to play with another dog during the stay. Jolanta sent great photos and videos and has such a warm, knowing way with dogs. It was clear our puppy had a wonderful time, and I recommend her with utmost confidence.”
“Purvi was so great and very attentive to my 5 month old pup! He spent 2 nights with her and was very well taken care of. Great communication during his stay helped our peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend! Thank you Purvi :)”
“Traci is an amazing bonus mom to my fur baby. She is very attentive and gives me lots of updates that I appreciate when I'm traveling. She has a big clean house and yard for lots of running fun and tag games with resident pup Chewy. I really recommend Traci as a boarder, my pup adores her and runs into her and every time.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dog! From the moment we met, I could tell Jia had a natural connection with animals. Jia was warm, responsible, and clearly experienced. My dog instantly felt comfortable, and I felt completely at ease leaving him in such capable hands. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and even a few videos that showed how happy and relaxed my dog was. It was clear he was being well-loved and cared for. The sitter went above and beyond with walks, playtime, and making sure he stuck to his routine. I came home to a calm, happy pup—and a clean house! I wholeheartedly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pet. I will absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you for treating my dog like your own!”
“Ami and James are the best. They love our dog like their own. Ami is always sending us pictures and is an excellent communicator. We don’t worry at all when our dog is staying with Ami and James. I highly recommend them!”
“We’re so lucky to have found Kimberly to watch our sweet but anxious dog, Stella. Kim sent us updates and pictures throughout the entire stay so we felt comfortable knowing that Stella was in great care. Kim took Stella for long walks and made her feel right at home with lots of cuddles. We will definitely be using Kim’s services again. She is professional, caring, and kind. Thank you Kim!!!”
“After meeting Catherine for a meet and greet, my husband and I were very comfortable leaving our Coco Chanel for an overnight stay. The time Coco spent with Catherine went very well. Cathrine also sent me a picture and an update on Coco and I saw how comfortable she was with Catherine. I will definitely use Catherine again because I know she was in good hands.”
“Meg was very easy to work with. I brought Minnie to the meet and greet and she seemed very comfortable in the house. Minnie stayed with Meg and her family for a week. She was very happy. They treated her like a member of the family. I highly recommend Meg.”
“i can’t say enough about how wonderful bonnie & joseph are. as soon as you meet them, you know your pet will be taken care of & then some! our dog is a very finicky eater; when she wasn’t interested in the food we brought, bonnie & joseph stepped into action, sharing their own dogs food & even feeding ours by hand first, until she eased into eating out of a bowl. that’s what i call 5 star service! this was our first time using them & we will definitely be repeat customers🥰🐶”
“We could’ve not been happier with Taffy staying with Megan! She is a loving and caring person, with such passion for any type of dog. Sweet and patient specially important for a picky eater dog like Taffy. The communication was extraordinary and we received plenty of updates from her. We felt so grateful that Taffy was safe and cozy all the time in an idyllic place with extraordinary care.”
“Swapna was very good with Kayce. She showed us her home and we were to see when Kayce would play. She kept us informed during our time away with texts and pictures. We will be using her services again soon.”
“I couldn’t even possibly describe all my happiness in one post. They are the most phenomenal sitters! This was my first time using rover and they were so kind and described the process. From the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up all with ease. They sent so many pics!! And it truly put me to ease. They made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with family instead. I will definitely be working with them in the future without a doubt! And we love their dog Neo and their wonderful family!! The thought you put into taking care of them was just amazing!!!”
“Tom was great! He’s very friendly and worked well with our dog Lyla! He gave great feedback on her stay so we weren’t worried about our dog at all! I’d highly recommend Tom!”

On her “first date” with Cheryl, our dog was comfortable right away, even though she’s often nervous when she’s away from us and meeting new people. Not only was Cheryl wonderful with our dog, she also was prompt and responsive in her communications with us. We will definitely call on Cheryl to dog sit again. Thank you, Cheryl!

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 Pennington 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 Pennington home-away-from-home, 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 Pennington.
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 Pennington 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 , 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 .
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.
