“Holly and DK have been great so far with our (sometimes needy) corgi Moose! Moose has been to daycare a few times and stayed overnight for a long weekend and he seems to enjoy and come home happy. Holly & DK are a lovely young couple who communicate quickly and thoroughly, are flexible about pick up/drop off times, and always send us a handful of cute pictures. We've also noticed they go above and beyond to return food bowls, kongs, and blankets back cleanly. We're happy we found them and look forward to having Moose stay with them in the future!”

“Sunita was very kind to our Toby. He is an old man with very poor eyesight and hearing. The first night he was very anxious and upset, Sunita kept us informed and was able to calm him down. We felt he was in very good hands and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Would recommend Sunita very highly and would use again in future.”

“We had Cookie with Melanie for a week during our winter break and she was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and pictures which I really appreciated seeing while being away! Also when our picky eater refused to eat her kibbles (we usually mix her food with meat but didn’t send it in for logistical reasons), Melanie shared her concerns and asked if there’s something she likes and made chicken, just for her! Thank you for taking care of our four legged child!”

“So incredibly grateful to have found Meghan and Jason. We had a meet up prior to our booking dates and felt more than comfortable to have them take care of our baby Armin. A big plus is that they have one of the best dog parks their community, it’s huge! We received plenty of videos and pictures daily. Armin was even laying upside down in their care, which he only does when he’s extremely comfortable and we have yet to see that with any prior rover experiences. Armin easily gets diarrhea if he has any changes to his food or treats but Meghan and Jason did great with his regimen. We got him back with healthy poops lol. They even accommodated to drop him off at the end of our booking which we desperately needed. I can’t say enough good things about them and am excited to have found a future pet sitter with zero worries 🙂”

“If we could give Na ten stars we would , and she'd have earned every one. If you are at all nervous about boarding your dog, Na is the person you should use. She will literally make your dog a member of her family while you're away, and the family all participate in his or her stay. She only takes one dog at a time. She'll focus on your dogs routine and make sure all your directions are followed. Our dog is on a very specific diet and medication and Na followed our instructions perfectly. She adds her own creativity to make your dogs stay a real vacation. Including picnics , book reading before bed, long walks and plenty of supervised yard play. Every few hours you'll get updates on your dog's activities in pictures. As much as we were happy to bring Lola home , It was hard knowing how much fun she was having. We actually made a slide show of Lola's stay and watched before we looked at our vacation pictures!”

I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!”

Michael did an amazing job watching Doodle! You could tell he genuinely adores dogs, lots of toys, a comfy bed, and he even took her on some fun outings while I was gone. Doodle had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend him if you want someone who treats your pup like family!

This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾

Our sitter was absolutely amazing! We had so much unexpected chaos during our trip from our original sitter canceling, to our flight being rerouted to Cleveland because of a storm. Through all of it, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. She made a very stressful situation so much easier for us by taking such great care of our dog, Lola. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her kindness, patience, and understanding throughout everything that happened. She truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️🐾

Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.

Kexin came through during holiday period when no other sitter was available. She not only was available but she offered a very reasonable rate. She took good care of my cats also. She showcased professionalism throughout the stay keeping us posted. She genuinely cares for pets. She is definitely someone I would book with.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
