About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. Born into a cat family, that soon became a cat and dog family, I’ve learned the proper ways to care for animals and treat each one I see as if they’re family. The same way animals make me happy, I want to make them happy. I currently work on a hybrid schedule, going in the office twice a week Mondays Thursdays, and working from home the rest of the week. My fiancé works from home all 5 weekdays and takes care of things during those 9-5 hours until I come home :) I pay attention to what the animal wants. I offer playfulness and affection, but never forcing it in the cases where the animal just needs company. I make sure the pet is walked and eating on a schedule given.
About: With over 16 years of hands on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up surrounded by family dogs, taking an active role in their feeding, grooming, bathing, exercise, and playtime. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language, keep them mentally stimulated, and make them feel safe and loved no matter how long they’re with me. My girlfriend Goldie is currently in school to become a Vet and has been caring for animals even longer than me! , Your baby will always be in a pet-friendly, knowledgeable environment. My flexible work schedule as a tattoo artist means there’s almost always someone home to give your dog attention, walks, and companionship. Hi there! 🐾 I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses for as long as I can remember. From feeding and grooming to bath time and endless games of fetch, caring for pups is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my amazing girlfriend, who’s in school to become a veterinarian…so your furry friend will always be surrounded by love and animal know-how. I’m a tattoo artist with a flexible schedule, working nearby from 11–5, and when I’m out, my girlfriend is home. When she’s in class, I’m here meaning your pup will never ever be alone. We live just steps away from a big park (perfect for adventures!) and have plenty of indoor space as well as a fenced in front and back yard! Perfect for zoomies, snuggles, and playtime. Our house is stocked with toys, treats, and cozy spots to nap in.
“We needed a sitter at the very last minute for our precious golden retriever, Bhavani was happy to accommodate my dog for a day. She made my dog very comfortable at her home, constantly kept in touch with us as well through pictures and video updates. Overall we have a great exprince with Bhavani. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
“Joy had very good time with Sudhesh and his family. He regularly sent us pictures and updates. She felt at home and playeda lot with their dog. I recommend him and will definitely contact them again for future dog sitting/boarding.”
“Jessica was great! I had a last min booking with her and she was super flexible with it all. She took great care of my dog and took her on many walks. She sent many photos of my dog playing with her dog and they were the best of friends. Thanks for caring for my pup! Looking forward to the next rebook!”
“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.”

“Courtney and Sherwood are awesome! They send pictures throughout the day. My dog, Red, always has fun at their house, and our dogs high-energy levels match. Red always comes home exhausted.”
About: I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself as an ardent animal lover who finds immense joy in caring for our furry friends. For me, the bond between humans and animals is truly special, and I cherish every moment spent with these incredible creatures. I work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need under my care. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your pets to play ansld run around and enjoy the outdoors safely under my care.
“We have a lot of family events/milestones that require day or overnight travel. It is a relieve to know that our Charlie is being well taken care of during these times with Dhruvit and his family. I appreciate the quick response and smooth transitions to make the time with our family memorable and easy. Thank again for caring for Charlie on Sunday!”

Can’t recommend Courtney and Sherwood enough. They are both very friendly, kind, and took care of my dog like it was their own. My dog has separation anxiety and they made sure to send pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he’s doing. You guys are great and I would strongly recommend you to anyone. Yogi told me to tell you thank you!
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 11,103 sitters in Rahway, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
