“Really great babysitter, had my dog stay with her on two night while on vacation in NJ. She was very reliable and responsive. Best sitter that we found in the area. Gave lots of updates too!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about my pet sitters! They were so incredibly heartwarming and welcoming to my dog, Brooklyn, right from the start. They truly took care of her like she was their own, and that made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The daily pictures and updates they sent were fantastic, and it was clear Brooklyn was having a blast. They even gave her extra toys and showered her with the utmost love. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my dog, and I appreciate them so much!”
“Nantikan was great with our dog Anna, who had a blast playing with all of the other dogs. Communication was always very quick and polite. I highly recommend if you want to be certain your pet will be loved just like you love them at home.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! First time leaving our Sunny and Katie and John took care of her as if she were their own. Great communication, constant pictures!! Will definitely use again!!”
“Kateri was absolutely fantastic for our dog penny! She took wonderful care of her, and sent daily photos and videos, which i really appreciated, because penny is my baby and best friend and love of my life, lol. Penny was sad to leave!!”
“Colleen made the whole process so easy from booking through pick up. This was our first time leaving Kobe with anyone outside of family, and Colleen was very understanding and reassuring. She updated us regularly with texts, pictures, and videos. Kobe was happy to see us when we picked him up, but also seemed quite content to be in Colleen’s home. It was a great experience for our first time using Rover.”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”
“Ashlee is the best! She sent us pictures every day along with periodic check-ins! Our pup was happy and safe in her loving care! Her little dog Minnie was great with our little guy! If I could give her more stars, I would!”
“Our dog seemed very happy under this couple's care. The couple is sweet and took him to along to dinner at a family member's house with a fenced yard. The video showed he was having a great time! Will book with them again.”
“We loved having Rebecca watch our Blitz while we were away. It was so nice knowing he was getting cared and loved, allowing us to be able to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Rebecca!!”
“Boomer had the best time with Deb and Ed. It is so comforting knowing your pet is in good hands and well looked after. We will definitely be using their services in the future.”
“Barb is the perfect sitter. She makes both owner and pet feel completely comfortable with the separation. She takes everything into consideration including separation anxiety, health and age needs, and comfort. Her pups are amazing friends for your pet to spend time with. Highly recommend!!!”
“Was so easy to schedule and book and super friendly and flexible ! Sent lots of pictures which was so nice ! Even treated my pup to some yummy blueberries! Can’t wait to have eve stay again sometime !”
“Tyler was friendly and professional to both me and Bailey. Bailey is a active 2 yr. old and Tyler seamed up to the challenge. He also has ample room on his property for outdoor activites, yet he still took our Labrador Retriever to the dog park. I give Tyler A+. If the need arises again Tyler will get the NOD.”
“Karrie was our go-to dog sitter when we had work in Atlantic City. She would take him to the beach for long walks and he definitely seemed content when we took him home. He was always happy in the photos she shared. We no longer have our old bad dog Pete, so we haven’t seen her lately.”
“Blanca is Amazing!!! She immediately loves my charlie and eased my worries. She gave him extra loving care and I couldn’t be happier! I will be recommending Blanca to ALL and using her again!”
“Steven was great with my last-minute sitter request. He sent daily photos and updates, and when I picked Pepper up she was happy to see me but not desperate to leave. I definitely recommend and will call on him again!”
“Jared was able to accept a last minute request to board our pup for the weekend after our typical sitter had an emergency. He was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and took amazing care of our dog. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 252 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Republic. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Port Republic 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 Port Republic 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 Port Republic.
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 Port Republic. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Port Republic 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.
