“Kristen R was an excellent sitter! She was kind, easy to work with, and communicated frequently throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Dropoff and pickup were straightforward, and everything about the boarding experience was a breeze. Most importantly, my dogs came back happy and with no issues. Would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“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!”
“Jolanta was wonderful with my puppy! My pup loved her the very first time we met for a meet n greet. Jolanta is warm, friendly and welcoming. She is gentle with dogs and treats him like her own baby! Highly recommend Jolanta to anyone looking for a loving and caring home away from home for their dogs!”
“Thank you again Kim for taking such great care of our dog, Franklin. He is an anxious dog, and when we returned home, he didn't even seem fazed by our absence or being outside of the house, which is usually not the case. We really appreciate having a reliable dog sitter so close to us.”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”
“Tao took great care of our pups! He was great about keeping us updated daily with photos and videos. Our pups had a fun and relaxing stay, and it looked like they got along great with Tao's dog.”
“Kathleen took very good care of our dog Milo. She made sure to keep us updated by sending pictures and letting us know how he's doing. I couldn't recommend her enough! We will be continuing our boarding with her in the future😊.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whitney and Michael were absolute lifesavers! I had a last-minute work trip come up, and they took incredible care of my fur babies. Their home is welcoming, the fenced yard is perfect, and my pups had the best time playing with their kiddos and the other dogs. It truly felt like a second home for them. I’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial for future stays. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful family! 🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“I have boarded my beagle Sally with Jessica a few times now. This time she had Sally for two weeks while I was over seas on vacation! Jessica is extremely flexible and accommodating, she always sends updates of how my dog is doing! I will most definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Traci and Jeffrey are the most caring snd compationate people they took excellent care of my Molly,they both had incredible patience and understanding because it was her first time ever being away from me and Molly can be a bit stubborn and nervous without me but Traci and Jeffrey helped her to relax and enjoy her time with them,i am so grateful for them both my worries about Molly completely left,Traci kept me updated and sent the cutest pics of molly and knowing how good care she was in completely helped calm my nerves.i will definitely book with Traci and Jeffrey in the future and highly recommend them.if i could give more stars i would.they are truely great boarders and go out of their way for your fur baby.”
“Melissa and Dan were great with our 8 month old golden retriever, Ginger. We were completely comfortable after our meeting. Ginger seemed happy and well taken care of. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I plan to leave our dog in their capable hands again and I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality care for their pet.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“Kathleen was absolutely exceptional. From our initial meeting to the pick of my pups she was communicative, attentive and treated my pups like gold! I’m so grateful so have found her and highly recommend her for your future services!”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”
“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”
“I’ve tried many Rovers for the past 5 years, but Thana and Subangi have been the best I’ve found. Their care, kindness and energy with the dogs is unmatched. I’d give them more than 5 stars if I could.”
“Our Layla loves being taken care of by Kerri and Harry! They treat Layla like one of their own and follow all of our care instructions. It is always evident that Layla had a good time when we pick her up. We can not recommend Kerri and Harry enough!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pennington
Kristen did a great job taking care of my 8-year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Flicker. She created a safe, friendly environment for Flicker when I dropped him off for the first time, introducing her own small dogs to him one by one. Flicker had a blast running around with his new friends indoors and in the fenced-in backyard! Kristen was able to give Flicker his vitamin pills, and she is a very quick and clear communicator, so planning the stay with her was very easy! I’m grateful to have found such a safe and attentive dog-sitter for Flicker, and I’d recommend her to any pup parents.
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.
92% 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, 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 Pennington.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
