“Akshay seems to love animals, he was very warm with my dog Billy and sent me pictures of him every day about his activities when we were on vacations. He also took the food and elements we provided like toys and food holder. The best was that Billy could play and get fun with his can "Sirius" which was very sweet. Also we got a pleasant surprise: Billy got a Christmas gift from the entire family during Christmas day! I definitely recommend Akshay for boarding your dog!”
“Megan and Nick and the children are absolutely amazing, they made the day easy and smooth for me and Cosmo. I believe we have found a second home for Cosi, I’m super happy. Big thanks to them 😍!”
“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”
“Shiina is the best. She (and her family) took such good care of our dogs that we didn’t have to worry one second about them. Multiple walks a day, play time, and getting tucked in at night made their stay a pleasure. Oh and she feeds them better than I do. My only reluctance in recommending Shiina is that she won’t be available for our pups when we need her! We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I recently had my dog stay with Jessica. She provided regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. I recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“This was my very first time using Rover, and I am so thankful that I found Ziming, as booking with her eased my anxiety leaving my dog behind . She was so pleasant and I loved how she sent me pictures throughout the booking. She was also very flexible with my booking making this a wonderful first time experience.”
“Vanessa was great. She took the time to do a meet and greet before dog boarding. She also made sure to note everything there is to know about how to take care of my dog and his tendencies.”
About: I’ve owned and/or taken care of cats longer than I can remember. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs often. Sometimes people bring their dogs into the office, and everyone knows that’s where you’ll find me. I can match the energy of your pets whether that’s doing loops around my yard, or giving half an hour of ear scratches while they snooze. Please tell me all about your pet, I’d love to know them personally! I work full time, week days from 9am-5pm, but am otherwise available! Weekends are flexible, and I’m also very willing to work after I come home from work, usually by 5:15 or so I have a fenced in back yard, and 3 pretty friendly cats at home. They’re extremely non-threatening and more likely to get scared and hide than anything. I am able to crate or separate pets as needed, I do have an extra room so if a separated stay is needed, it’s no issue. I also have a camera I can set up where needed to check in during the day while I am out. I do also have a basement, it’s not officially finished but I’ve turned it into a safe and comfy enough space that I trust my own kitties to have full access to. Any overnight visitors are more than welcome to have that whole space to be separated in, if owner is comfortable with it!
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Isbath and her family are so so so incredible. She's warm, welcoming, professional, and inquisitive. She checked in with multiple times a day and provided photos, which helped me feel even more at ease. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her as my go to sitter. I could tell my girl Sailor loved her visit, before putting her in the car she stopped and had the urge to run to their front steps and back inside to play. Couldn't recommend more.”
“I am so happy I chose Kajal to watch Mochi. Mochi is an anxious pup and Kajal made the whole process less stressful starting with the meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and videos during Mochi’s stay which eased my mind as this was the first time Mochi was not in our care. I really appreciate Kajal and her family looking after Mochi and will seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“Great experience with Nathalie! We got lots of pictures and updates the entire time we were away. Nathalie was super communicative and our dog was very happy when we picked him up!”
“Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: I owned a dog for 15 years. She passed away about 7 years ago. We are looking to spend time with dogs but we aren’t ready to have one ourselves just yet I work full-time on weekdays, so we’re available for pet care on weekends and holidays. We love spending free time with animals and can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while your pet is in our care. I have a secure fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home. My kids and I love animals, and pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection while staying with us. I will be the only one responsible for care of your pet, but I will have my kids around often times to play.
“Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!”
“Jo is AMAZING! My Wheatie Belle had such a great time hanging out with her, Callie and Presley…I’ve vowed to make sure they hang out once a month…LoL…that’s how GREAT she is!!!!”
“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”
“We had the best experience with Melissa. She took such good care of our dog, who struggles with anxiety. She was a great communicator and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

Mauree was absolutely amazing with Zoey! From start to finish, communication was prompt, friendly, and reassuring. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that Mauree truly loves dogs and treats them like family. We will definitely be booking again!
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!
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 🙂
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! ❤️🐾
Victor & Lessly are amazing! They are the perfect tag team couple to care for our pup. Our guy is a bit high maintenance with all his drops, medication, food, and FOMO for when we leave him for vacation. Victor & Lessly gave him extra attention and frequent recaps and photos to keep us at ease. We even landed late and had to pick him up the next morning in which they went out of their way to feed him a home cooked meal in which we failed to provide an extra. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
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.

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.

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.
