“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.”
“Today was Tucker’s first visit to Jacqueline. He said he had a great time and can’t wait to go back!! Very easy to see Jacqueline really cares about the dogs and takes good care of them.”
“This was our first time ever doing doggy sitting. My dog got along with Bhavani and left happy. She sent me videos and photos of my pup and him settled in their home. Great first experience!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter and we chose Jessica based on her good reviews. She def lived up to her reputation. She is so sweet and friendly. She asked all the right questions to prepare for my pups visit. Baxter loved her. He came home exhausted. Her knowledge of dogs is awesome. She gave me tips and advice on how to continue training my pup. I received pictures through out his stay.”
“Just lost our dog a couple weeks ago, so it's my first time to look for daycare for Milan. I contacted Jessica and was able to schedule a meet and greet that same day. Milan stayed with them today for the first time, and she seems to have enjoyed herself. She was very quiet in the car and asleep now. Those, to me, are signs of a tired dog! Jessica has been very responsive, accommodating, and flexible. Milan is booked again for next week. Looking forward to it!”
“Armani had a great time during his sit as he came back energetic and super playful! They also provided constant updates which I absolutely loved. They definitely took care of my puppy, so I highly recommend!”
“I am very happy I found Jose. He took my babies in at the last minute and was great at keeping in contact with me and sending pics and videos. If I ever travel back here with my pups again he will be my go to.”
“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!”
“This was my second time leaving Tofu with Starry & Gio and each time I feel even more confident leaving him at their place. Starry & Gio are great at communicating and they follow instructions to the T. Highly recommend them!”
“Bonnie was extremely caring for my Bruno Mars. He was happy and tired when he got home which was great. I an very thankful she was able to take him on short notice. I cant thank her enough”
“Sharon was so great with our golden doodle! She took amazing photos of him (he never poses for us! 😂), and he has been worn out since we got him home! She was wonderful with communication and made us feel good about leaving our baby with her. We will be booking with her again! Thank you, Sharon!”
About: I can handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. My regular clients includes dogs as small as a Rat Terrier and as large as a Weimaraner. I don't currently have other pets or small children at home, so no worries if your furry friend is not accustomed to that! I work 5 hrs a day , so I have plenty of time to play and be company to your pups. All other availability is on a case by case basis. Overnight is available most days per week. I have a fenced in yard and a quiet street near a local park to ensure high levels of activity. Inside, pets will get plenty of cuddles on the couch.
About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes.
“Andria is a wonderful pet sitter! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and truly appreciated all the updates she shared during his stay. Her fenced backyard is perfect for dogs to safely explore and enjoy their time. We will absolutely be using her services again—highly recommend!”
“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.”
“My puppy Nola stayed with Amy while I was working in the office twice this week and had a great time! I can tell she was thoroughly cared for by Amy and came home happy.”

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.
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.
