“Meena and her family were so warm and eager to care for our yellow lab while we were out of town for the weekend. They sent us pictures throughout our time away of Matty enjoying her time playing with their dogs and snuggling with their family. They gave our dog lots of walks and play time. We absolutely recommend this dog sitter and would absolutely use them again in the future.”
“Bolo had the time of his life! Swapna was attentive, playful, and kept us updated with adorable photos. Bolo came home happy, tired, and clearly loved—couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“Kerri and Harry were great with our 12 year old lab, Lacey. They arranged a meet and great prior to booking to make sure that our pup would be ok with their cats. They were responsive and sent updates while we were away. Lacey came home very tired and happy! We will absolutely book with them again in the future!”
“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 had anxiety leaving my fur brother with someone other than family. The love and care Vanessa showed him was unmatched. I will definitely use Vanessa again if I go out of town.”
“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.”
“Thana and Subangi took great care of my dog when we went away for a long weekend. He had the time of his life playing with their dog and the other dogs boarding with them. I got lots of photo updates, and he looked very happy in every photo! I will definitely book again.”
“Maddie enjoyed playing with the dogs at Vickie’s house and they’ve got a good yard for her to run and play. Vickie kept me updated with photos and videos from the weekend.”
“We can’t thank Trupti and Anmol enough for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. The regular updates, pictures, and videos reassured us that Bruno was not only well taken care of but also having an absolute blast! It was heartwarming to see him happily mingling with other dogs, playing, and enjoying his time to the fullest. He especially loved finding tennis balls in the snow—it was such a joy to see him so engaged and excited! And the bond he built with Anmol was truly special—seeing him rest his head in Anmol’s lap showed just how comfortable and happy he was. The attention to detail, the care, and the affection they showed Bruno truly made a difference. We were able to fully relax, knowing he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. Trupti and Anmol go above and beyond in creating a home away from home for pets, and we are incredibly grateful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their furry friends. Bruno will definitely be excited for his next stay!”
“Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! This was the first time my one year old goldendoodle was being watched by a family member, but Melissa made sure not only Sammie felt comfortable, cared for, and loved, but also me! She sent daily text updates, plenty of pictures, and a video each day of my vacation. Sammie even was able to fall asleep with her in her bed similar to how she is at home. Sammie loved their dogs and had a great time playing in the back yard. I highly recommend Melissa, Dan, and her family for watching dogs. You will feel at ease knowing your pup is in wonderful, loving hands :)”
“Nantikan was absolutely fantastic and our dogs Anna and Cooper had a great time during their stay. They were treated like they were part of the family right from the get go. We also really appreciated the daily photos and updates on how they were doing. I would absolutely recommend Nantikan if you need someone to love your dogs and treat them like family members.”
“Traci & Jeff are the most welcoming people. I have never been more at peace leaving our girls in someone's care. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter! We got pictures and text updates throughout their stay and that gives us extra peace of mind.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”
“Rose has been amazing with our dog Jamie! She is extremely personable, and very accommodating to our needs. She is very good with animals, and really knew how to introduce Jamie to the other boarders and help him assimilate to the environment. This was our first time leaving Jamie in a home other than our own, and we weren’t sure how that was going to play out- and Rose really made us feel comfortable that our baby was in good hands ❤️ Highly recommend!!!”
“I needed last minute boarding for my 3 month old puppy due to an unexpected emergency, and decided to reach out to Pam. I am so happy that we decided to go with Pam, as she provided exceptional care for our puppy. She messaged back nearly immediately, let us know when she is available for a call, and we discussed expectations and how she carries care for dogs throughout the boarding process. I felt immediately at ease, as Pam is very kind and easily diffused any anxiety that came with boarding our puppy. Pam gave us updates throughout the day and always responded quickly, reassuring me that I could give her a call when needed. I would 100% recommend Pam’s services to any dog owner who needs boarding in the area. Pam is an expert in this area, having cared for all kinds of dogs. Her knowledge is broad and she carries herself very well. Thank you so much! ❤️”
“Geremy was a wonderful and attentive dog sitter. I knew Hachi was in great hands the moment I left him. While he was in Geremy’s care, he was taken on several walks a day, played with and monitored frequently. Geremy responded quickly and provided daily updates so I knew how Hachi was doing. I would recommend Geremy to anybody who is looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter.”

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.
95% of sitters in Polhemustown 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 Polhemustown 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 Polhemustown.
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 Polhemustown. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Polhemustown 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.
