About: Pet care experience 🐕🐈I’ve been taking care of both dogs and cats since my childhood, dog and cat mom myself ❤️ 🌟Have 15 years of experience, started pet sitting/dog walking for my friends and neighbors when they were on vacation. 🐾I truly enjoy to take care of pups and kitties! I have a puppy who lives with me and two kitties living with my parents! I also participate in taking care of puppies from our local rescue when they need help. 🐱🐶I’m going to do my best to make sure your furry friend is comfortable and having a good time while you are away! I will walk, feed, play with them (or cuddle together) do medical care (if needed) and can also assist in training and obedience (per request). I'm working from home and my schedule is pretty open for new guests. I can provide walks up to 3 times a day and with any potty breaks as needed. My home is dog friendly and my neighbor has a Shiba Inu dog. He is very friendly and gladly will go for a walk together to play.
“A returned customer. Yanina is very patient and accommodating. She made sure our puppy’s specific needs were cared for and was very understanding when we were late for pickup.”
“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!”
“Gurdeep was able to put all my fears at rest. This was the first time we boarded Sasha and I can’t say enough about how happy she was. The house was clean and welcoming. I will definitely bring Sasha again.”

“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!!!”
“My boys are always well taken care of with, Katie!! She is attentive, nurturing, and her home has such great energy. I can’t recommend her enough and while I would love to gate keep her, every pawtent deserves a caretaker as wonderful as her!”
“Gio was very accommodating with a last-minute daycare request, which I really appreciated. He was punctual with pickup and drop-off, shared regular updates and photos throughout the day, and ensured walks and meals were given on time. My pup came home happy. While Walnut and my pup didn’t quite connect this time, I’m hopeful they’ll build a friendship in the future. Overall, a reliable and positive experience.”
“Ekaterina and her family did such an amazing job with my very shy, reserved labradoodle. He spent the entire day at their home and upon pickup, he was calm, content and happy. I highly recommend Ekaterina and we look forward to using her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rahway
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.
Lauren is the best of the best! Her communication and love for our dogs went above and beyond. If you see her name available for the day you need a sitter, I highly recommend giving her the opportunity to take care of them. We will be using her again when we are in the area. Thanks Lauren for loving our dogs and keeping us up to date with pictures and texts. You rock 100%
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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rahway commute.
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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,070 sitters in Rahway, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
