“Courtney and Sherwood are so nice and took good care of Dodger! We had a previous meet/greet with their dog and all went well, so we booked for the next day. They sent us pictures and texts throughout the day and I could tell Dodger was doing well there. We feel good knowing he’s cared for in a clean and happy household!”
“Katie did a great job with our senior dog and really helped us out in a pinch. Out of all of the sitters that I contacted who advertise themselves as accepting same day, last minute appointments, she was the only one who responded in a timely manner and had availability to keep our old lady for a few hours. She spoiled our big baby, was very communicative during the brief time that they spent together, was very friendly and welcoming and her rates are fair. I’d definitely utilize her services again if we’re ever back in the area and in need of a pet sitter.”

“We had a great experience doing business with Sharon! We went away on a day trip and our dog Paisley had such a good time hanging out with Piper for the day. Sharon responded within the hour when we sent the initial request. She was flexible for the meet and greet, and her home was clean and spacious for Paisley to play and relax! We will definitely be contacting Sharon for our dogsitting needs in the future!”
“Mauree was amazing with my pup. She actively sent lots of photos and videos. Every time he is over there, he has a great time with the other dogs! I recommend booking with her 10/10!!!”

I was afraid he didn’t want to come back home to me! He is currently passed out in the car ride back, so I call todays session a major success! Thanks, Jessica! We’ll be back!”
About: The second I look at a dog or a cat, I feel my motherly instincts kick in!! I’m currently a per diem nurse and mental health therapist—giving me plenty of time to be home and love my babies. I noticed lot of pet owners via county pages on fb and I just want to be an extra help to my area while making annoying baby noises gawking at the cuteness of any fur baby. I do live with my morkie, Cinnabon who’s a sassy baby boy. And my partner has his cats, Cheesecake and Chandler Bing who are very friendly towards everyone. All my pets are healthy and on anti flea/tic medications! I work per diem as a nurse meaning my shifts are sparse and short- so I’m home 90% of the time. I love spending my free time with both cats and dogs and would love to meet yours! I have a small fenced yard that is regularly mowed and cleaned. I always replenish the water periodically. I keep my home tidy since I’m used to being around many animals at once. For baths, I either use my tub or the laundry sink basin for my own dog. As for cats, I do have the mesh bath bag that prevents them from clawing. I’m very gentle with my own pets!
“Jennifer is amazing. She kept me informed throughout the whole day and took care of my pup like he was her own. I can tell he was very well taken care of! I also love that she has two little dogs as playmates and young children that also enjoyed playing with him.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Reading
What a great experience. We left our Goldendoodle puppy, Woody, for daycare while we attended a Yankees game. The attention, kindness, and love shown our baby was top-notch. Courtney's family also has a handsome Goldendoodle, so she was well aware of the breed and how to care for them. Woody was super happy when we picked him up. We will definitely recommend her services and will be using her again.
Apollo had a great time with Natalia and Ilian. He had a few furry friends joining his stay and you can tell that he got lots of love and play time. Felt like I dropped him off at school. Came back with a pic and colored picture from his little human friend😍. The pup was tired the next day. P.S. we have a language barrier but I think it's amazing regardless of that barrier, we are still able to communicate the care for Apollo and there's no issue on the love they showed him.
Rupali did an excellent job of watching our dogs for doggy day care. She sent several photos and videos. She has a large fenced in yard and both my dogs loved playing there with her dog. My one dog that does not easily take to new people took to rupali within a few minutes - as evidenced by offering her belly for belly rubs.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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.

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 .
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
