“Ana was an absolute pleasure to work with! From the very first message she was warm, friendly, and super responsive. Communication was excellent the entire time — she kept us updated with photos and check-ins so we never had to wonder how the pups were doing. Our dogs clearly had a fantastic time with her. They came home happy, relaxed, and tired in the best way. It’s obvious Ana genuinely loves dogs and knows how to make them feel comfortable and cared for. We feel so lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Elaine was great with my fur baby. She has great communication and we felt very safe leaving him overnight. We will definitely use her again after we return from FL in the spring.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, showing horses and dogs. While in college I started a pet sitting and grooming business and was a key-holding dog care and training volunteer for the Easton SPCA. I fostered many dogs and had two litters born here. I became a clicker trainer when Karen Pryor first introduced it to the dog world and have attended numerous professional dog and animal training seminars and workshops. I later became a certified master groomer and certified canine esthetician as well as a professional scent detection trainer/handler/NACSW judge. I became known as the "dog lady" and a "dog whisperer". I've also studied and practiced animal communication and canine massage. I also worked for a veterinarian and have studied canine nutrition extensively. I've had numerous dogs stay with me over the years and they all leave happy! In this house, dogs are our children, not just pets. On an average day, I groom one or two small dogs at my in-home salon, cook and bake for humans and dogs, read and write. Other than going to church and walking dogs, I'm certainly a homebody! Caring for dogs has always fit my life perfectly. Having grown-up with horses, I'm extremely safety-conscious (horse owners know what I mean!) I have a fenced yard and use a double gate system in the house. I have various ex-pens, crates, puppy playpens, a dog stroller, doggy litter boxes and housebreaking pads if needed. My days revolve around my Havachon, Hazel, and my frequent houseguest, Oliver (mini Dachshund/Rat Terrier). I also have a grooming salon at the house. I've lived in Palmer Township for 30 years and know all the best places to walk dogs!
“Melissa & Angel were wonderful hosts to our American Staffie, Boo Radley. They were completely chill despite Boo's high energy entrance into their home! And they kept us connected with multiple photos video's each day of Boo's stay.”
“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”
“Bianka deserves so much more than 5 stars!! She was so wonderful with my yorkie pups, Blue and Mia. Both of my dogs have a little bit of anxiety when they are away from my husband and I. Bianka was patient and loving with them. It was clear in all of the pictures she sent me that Blue and Mia were so relaxed and comfortable in her home. Bianka’s 17 year old Yorkie is so sweet and welcomed my dogs into his home as well. I am usually very nervous leaving my dogs (my babies) with anyone, but Bianka made them feel so safe and loved that I was worry free the entire weekend. We will 100% be booking with Bianka again!!”
“Scott was incredible with Mocha. My family was away on vacation when a huge storm washed away the local highway. Scott brought his family and our Mocha to safety until it was safe to return. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was in a kennel with 30 other dogs and that happened!! Scott also sent us pictures every day and we could see she was very relaxed and happy to be there. Thank You Scott!!”
About: I can help you with housesitter at day or overnight and give the 100% attention to your pet. If you will be on vacation and you give me the facilities at your place (nothing fancy) I guaranteed that your pet will be on vacation too!! This will be my other part time job during the week, right now I am busy with a weekend job. However I know taking care of your beloved pet is a full time responsibility, and I will make sure they get fully taken care of when I'm with them or walking them. I spoiled them if I'm allow to. I enjoy to have them on couch and bed and play all time, go out to park, take them outside. Give lot of kisses and hugs. But of course I respect your rules and I will keep the your pets routine too. And about trust, I consider myself as the most honest and trustful person that you could know. I worked on houses (sitter/laundry attendant) and hotels (receptionist/night auditor) and I never grab something that is not mine.
“Carole is fantastic! She is very caring and sends videos and communications throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Zoey was getting loving and was being so well cared for. We will definitely be taking Zoey to Carole again.”
“Johanny took wonderful care of my 2 dogs in her home when I went out of town! Her indoor and outdoor spaces are set up with them in mind. Plus she is so pleasant to work with. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”
“Brooke and Jeremy were excellent hosts! It was nice receiving updates and pictures during our dogs stay and by the looks of it he had a great time! We would highly recommend them and would certainly use again!”
“Sara's care for our dog Autumn was excellent. Autumn is a high energy dog than need room to run. While staying with Sara, Autumn was very much at ease. We will definitely look to Sara for the care of our dog in the future.”
“Barbara was wonderful! It was immediately obvious that she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs. She was very detailed in her engagement, both in person and over the app. All around a very good person. Unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to meet James. Next time hopefully.”
“Purvi did an amazing job watching Lola while I was away for a couple days! It was Lola’s first time with a sitter so I was nervous but Purvi consistently kept me updated and with photos. Highly recommend :)”
“Tiffany took great care of my Cavalier, Percy. Percy enjoyed playing with Tiffany's dog and the other boarded dogs. I was nervous at first since my dog often is anxious around other dogs, but Tiffany's patience and understanding of canine behavior allowed my dog to become comfortable around the other dogs and to learn to enjoy the experience. Tiffany sent me daily updates, photos and videos so I could see Percy enjoying his stay, which I greatly appreciated.”
“Natalie is incredible. She took in our dog and treated her as if it were her own. Her whole family is so caring and amazing. We have a hard time trusting people with our fur baby but we are so grateful and thankful to have found Natalie’s family. If you’re looking for an outstanding dog sitter who goes above and beyond- you will not be disappointed. We are so happy to know that our pup was well taken care of. She even cried when they dropped her back off at our house. We will be using Natalie and fam again and again and again without hesitation 🙏”
“Gwen took very good care for my little guy (Noel) as he had surgery days prior to his stay. Gwen made sure he took his medicine on time and sent me photos throughout his stay. He’ll look forward staying again next time we’re around. Thank you :)”
“Ceinwen was absolutely AMAZING with our little Penelope. She was so spoiled and loved on, I didn't have to worry about anything. We received daily pictures and videos, it was great. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you Melissa. This was Audrey's first sleep over. You reassured me through the day and evening she was okay. Thank you again for making sure Audrey is comfortable and taking care for! 😊”

Liz was absolutely wonderful, and very patient with Aggie, as Aggie can be very scary and cautious when meeting new people, she takes time to warm up to strangers, and Liz went above and beyond to make Aggie feel at home, I would definitely book with her again, thanks again liz

Kelsey and her family took great care of Murphy while we were away. She sent updates and pictures of him enjoying his time with her kiddos. It was easy to see that they loved him and really seemed to be very at home with the family. I would not hesitate to have Murphy stay with them again. This morning I think he actually misses the kids!

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 Phillipsburg 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 Phillipsburg 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 Phillipsburg.
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 Phillipsburg. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Phillipsburg 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.
