“Kelley took great care of our pup while we were away. She reached out frequently with updates and was quick to respond to our interactions as well. It was nice to know he was safe and well cared for.”
“Sterlin took care of my dog for a few days and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She kept in touch with pictures and text and that means a lot to me. He had company and loved being with other dogs. I will definitely be hiring Sterlin again”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with my pup! She sent updates the entire time to ensure comfortability. My puppy had so much fun staying with her and we will for sure use Victoria in the future!”
“We have had ongoing great experiences with Denise. We are completely at ease when our 11 year old King Charles (Presley) is in her care. A five star service for sure! Rudy & Beverly Meyers”
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“Kirk immediately put me at ease about leaving my somewhat spoiled, always supervised , many food/ environmental allergies 9yo male pekinese. It’s necessary to watch he only gets the food and treats provided and allergy med twice a day. I feel that’s a tall order, but Kirk and Anita were wonderful. Sent update pictures so I knew he was fine and they treated like their own family pet. Can’t thank them enough. And recommend using them 100%. Kirk had me come over once to meet him so he could show me the layout ,explain what to expect ,and meet his own dogs To see how your dog reacts.”
About: I've spent my whole life around animals and it shows. Whether I'm boarding your pup, caring for your cat, or out on a walk, I bring patience, attention, and genuine care to every situation. I've picked up a lot along the way (including some time as a vet tech assistant), but mostly I just love animals and treat every one like they're my own💛 My weekday routine includes a midday home visit during lunch, with full availability in the evenings and on weekends. I believe in being transparent with pet parents. Your dog will be comfortable, cared for, and never left without a break for too long. 🐶Dogs who board with me are in a real home with a fenced backyard, not a kennel. They get space, routine, and plenty of love. I keep things structured so they feel secure, and I'm always attentive to how a new dog is settling in. 🐱For cats, I believe the best care happens on their turf.I come to you, keep their routine intact, clean their litter, handle feeding, and make sure they get some company before heading meowt.
“Belle had an amazing time. Mariah was fabulous. They played and went for a walk on the beach. I received many pictures updating me on her stay. Belle always looks so comfortable and happy. Would gladly recommend Mariah.💜🦋”
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Marci and her family are the absolute best! We're soo grateful for their excellent care and communication and will definitely book with them again without hesitation. Thank you!”
“Rebecca and Ozzie are amazing. They have taken our chihuahua Lola several times and treat her like she is their own. I tell them to stop spoiling her lol! I never worry about Lola when she is there and I get daily pictures and videos. They take the stress out of leaving your pet -whether it’s a day or a week! Thank you again for caring for Lola the way that you always do!”
“Angela responded to my questions promptly, and made me feel at ease leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover caregiver. She texted with updates and photos. Boomer was in great hands, and I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“This was our pup, Isla’s, first time boarding and Jared took excellent care of her. When we met Jared at our meet and greet, we could immediately tell that he loves dogs and would be a responsible and caring sitter. The daily photos he sent showed she felt right at home and was having such a good time that we were afraid she would not want to come home back home. We will definitely book with Jared again and know that Isla will happily run in in the door and make herself at home! Thanks Jared and family for making Isla’s first boarding experience such a positive one!”
“Tyler was an amazing post. His availability was remarkable. We contacted him on the same day, actually within an hour of needing dog sitting, and he accepted our inquiry. His dogs are loves and our pups enjoyed the exceptional family atmosphere. I highly recommend Tyler’s care. He treated our dogs just like they were at home.”
“McKenna and Tyler were so awesome with our dog Rhys. Will definitely be using them again. Sent us awesome pictures and kept us up to date with everything. Made drop off and pick up super easy. Look forward to using them again!!!!”

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.
93% of Petersburg 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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg.
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 Petersburg 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.
