About: I’ve always gown up with dogs and I have plenty of experience. I’m always happy to help when needed. I can also provided boarding as needed. I’m currently working full time but I can return home during the day for works and I am free all weekends. Scheduling may vary as needed. I can follow set schedules and ask questions when needed. I do prefer for houses to have cameras so all parties involved are aware of all activity that goes on in the home.
“Lisa and her family was amazing and very affectionate with my furbaby. She sent periodic updates and pics. My dog was very well cared for by Lisa and her children. Her dog bear is adorable and playful. Ollie enjoyed his time with Bear and Lisa’s family. Thank you so much for making the process so easy. I would definately book again in a heartbeat and recommend you to anyone!”
“Ronit was amazing!! She provided consistent feedback and photos from our dog’s stay with her. Such a warm and welcoming home. She’s so friendly and took great care of our baby!!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Whitney and Michael took amazing care of Esther. Esther seems to have really enjoyed the stay and was kept entertained and loved by their young daughters. They did a great job of keeping us updated with cute photos. :) 10/10 would recommend Whitney and Michael’s home as a great place to board your dog!”
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
“Robert was fantastic. My (sometimes cranky) 14 y.o. JRT took to him immediately. It was a short stay, but the regular pics and updates gave me confidence that Ziggy was comfortable and well cared for. 100% recommendation and repeat for me.”
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“Ahmad and Janelle are super friendly and welcoming of my two dogs. I love that they have a dog park right in their complex and my pups could run and play. I look forward to working with them again soon.”
“Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
“Joanne was a great sitter, she watched our dogs for two weeks and did an awesome job. Sent updates and pictures and even took one dog to the vet when she showed signs of a UTI.”
“Hunter is very happy with Lupe’s care. The fenced yard is great, he loves staying there and always wants to stay more and not come back home. Parent communication is great and I have a great sense of relief having my beloved pet child under Lupe’s boarding care.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“Stephanie is a wonderful sitter. She is so sweet and caring. She is very accommodating and flexible. She will truly love your pet as her own and make them feel at home! My dog Apollo had a great time with Stephanie, and it’s great to know that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book Stephanie over and over again!”
“Tanvi did a great job, Skooter was very happy and well taken care of the entire time. Good communication and easy pick up/drop off. Safe and nurturing environment for all dogs. Highly recommend”
“I had a wonderful experience with this dog sitter! Communication was excellent throughout my trip, and I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such good hands made it much easier to relax while I was away. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter”

We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie! She took such great care of our dog and treated them like family.

Lisa and her family took amazing care of Elvira! It was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier with the care provided to our pet. Lisa shared daily photos as well as detailed updates. I would highly recommend and will absolutely be rebooking the next time I am in need!
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.

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.
94% of sitters in Raritan 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 Raritan 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 Raritan.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Raritan 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.
