“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Kelley was so easy going and great with communication before and during the dogs stay. She was very friendly and accommodating. She had a big room for them to roam and a fenced yard to keep them safe when out for potty breaks. She had a whole set up for them with a raised dog bed, XLarge crate, raised food dishes, and a large water dish in the big safe room they were in. Will be using her again in the future!”
“Denise was amazing with our pup. Sent plenty of photos. This was our 2nd time having our dog with Denise and would use her again. Our dog had a blast in the fenced in backyard. It was perfect for her.”

“Teresa is amazing! We just love her taking care of our dogs. No worries when our dogs are with Teresa. She sends us updates/pictures we really appreciate her taking the time to reassure us our dogs are happy and having good ole time with Teresa.

We look forward to her loving care in the future!”

“I’m so glad I found Carrie! She was awesome with my LILO. I was so nervous about leaving my dog with strangers who did not know her and vice-versa but after Carrie told me of all the animals she had I knew she was an animal lover and we would be in good hands. I was right.Will definitely use her again!!”
“Blanca and her family were absolutely amazing! They treated my dog as their own and even helped her deal with some separation anxiety. She came home happy, healthy, and better behaved than when she left! We also received tons of photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country. I cannot say enough good things!!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.
“Adrianna was great. She kept in touch with a handful of photos over the two weeks she was sitting for me and she feel in love with my Chloe. If we need a sitter in the future I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
About: Growing up I always had a dog. I absolutely love animals. I currently have a golden doodle and a Cavachon. My cavachon is a senior dog who has had major surgery. I'm very experienced with taking care of dogs of any age or with medical conditions. I work part time at a pizza shop. I am also a college student. Since I only have class 3 days a week in the afternoon I have a lot of free time in the mornings. Taking care of pets would fit perfectly into my mornings. At my home I have 2 dogs that I take care of. I can easily adapt to different feeding, walking, or activity styles for different pets.
“We are so thankful for Donna, she really loves caring for BamBino. She sent pictures every day of their walks, playing together, of BamBino relaxing and napping. BamBino was loved and cuddled, like he is at home. She followed his feeding instructions and took him on many walks throughout the day. He came back home happy and healthy. We highly recommend Donna.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Port Norris 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 Port Norris.
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 Port Norris 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.
