“Janise and her family took excellent care of my girl Moni. She sent regular updates and was quick to reply to my messages. Her home is in a nice neighborhood with a really nice sized yard with a fence that closes securely. Her dog Frankie is a sweet girl who got a long great with my pup. I was out of the country for a week and never once worried about my pup being safe and well cared for! I would happily leave my dog with her again and anyone reading this review can book her with confidence that your dog will be well cared for and safe.”
“Ivette was amazing, Waldo settled in quickly and was super comfortable at the stay. She kept me updated throughout and I was very comfortable leaving my furbaby with them.”
“I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to describe how amazing Anna has been with my dog. She took her for a week while I was away and sent pictures and descriptions everyday of all the fun they were having. She honestly gave her a better time than I’m able to give her when I’m home - my dog was a spoiled girl! I recommend a million times over.”
“My dogs absolutely love Christina and her husband! They took such great care of our babies while we were away. By the time we went to pick up the doggies I could feel they were sad to leave Christina and her husband lol. Thank you so much for the care!!”
“Natali was great! She took great care of our dog, Spud, and sent us lots of pictures of their walks and adventures. We’d trust her with Spud any time.”
“Tania was wonderful with Lola! This was my first time using a pet sitter, so I was nervous, but her daily photos and updates really put me at ease. She made the whole experience smooth and helped me enjoy my trip knowing Lola was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Elanor was amazing. The drop-off and pick-up process was very smooth and easy. She was exceptionally great to communicate with, and she showed genuine care by asking for all the details about my dog's routine. I appreciate everything she did and highly recommend her.”
“John was the perfect choice to watch my sweet Barney while I was on a vacation. He is a true dog lover and treated Barney as his own. I will definitely be leaving my pup in his care when i travel in the future. So Thankful to have found John!”
“Jatna is amazing! So communicative and flexible. Took our pups in with a last minute request and they were so loved. Will absolutely request Jatna in the future!”
“Wan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.”
“Our toy goldendoodle Sky, almost 2 years old, had a great time with Xander during a 2+ week stay. Sky came back looking healthy and happy and it was clear that he was going to miss Xander. Sky is easy-going and very friendly, but he is a picky eater who often doesn’t eat or finishes his meals, during the stay Xander managed to convince him to eat well which was very reassuring. We hope that Sky can come back for another stay in the future!!”
“Susan is a great dog Mom! She took great care of my dog, updates each day, she’s very detailed and pays such close attention to her guests. My little guy is a snuggler 2.0 and he got lots of attention and love. Highly recommended.”
“Aleksandr took such great care of our senior dog, Baxter. He was so patient and kind, even with Baxter’s stubborn moments and frequent accidents. We loved getting photo updates and could see how happy and comfortable Baxter was with him. We’d definitely have Aleksandr care for him again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Minty with Alyssa for his first nights away with a sitter. We appreciated the frequent updates and pictures she sent. And Minty was happy to play with Gia!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about our dog sitter. She watched my dog for a full week and took excellent care of him. My dog is elderly and has a luxating patella in his back knee, and she was very attentive to his needs and limitations. She handled him carefully, made sure he was comfortable, and truly paid attention to his health. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well taken care of. On top of that, she even washed him the day before pickup, so he came home freshly cleaned, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving dog sitter.”
“She was responsive from the very beginning and showed infinite patience and sensitivity and took the most loving care of my little guy. Hope to be privileged to have her watch my Griffin again!!!”
“I left my 3 month old lab mix puppy with a close friend. I got a text from said friend asking to drop him off because she could no longer care for him. Keka accommodated a last minute booking. My dog was loved, and spoiled for the duration of our vacation. She set my mind at ease daily with pictures, and updates. She is kind. and patient. I would recommend her to any, and everyone looking for a safe place for their fur baby. My puppy was sad when she walked away! I cannot express how thankful I am 💕”
“Mariia was great! She watched my 4 yr old Cavapoo for 10 days at her apt and was very responsive and gave me regular updates. My pup was very well taken care of and I’m so grateful!”
“Always so comfortable leaving our dog with Sally. We know he is well taken care of. We Will continue to use Sally in the future! We highly recommend her!”

Addy was fantastic all around! We had a pleasant meet and greet for our pups at the park and then was incredibly flexible with my drop off and pickup times. I could tell Sebastian had a blast with her youngest pup all weekend because he's been asleep since we got home yesterday!! Highly recommend Addy as a sitter and plan to book her again in the near future!
The moment we entered Aviance’s block to drop Churro off, she was SO excited to see her again! Churro was pulling on her leash, running right up to her with her tail wagging like crazy—it meant everything to me 🤍 Aviance also sent me updates about Churro multiple times a day while I was away, which was such a huge relief. I felt completely at ease knowing Churro was in such good hands. Highly recommend Aviance!
Eileen was so communicative and sent pictures and videos of my baby Diesel everyday. This was our first time leaving him and first time using Rover so I was nervous. But Eileen eased my nerves by having open communication and resounding when we reached out. Will definitely book with her again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with Bami’s stay with Tania! Bami is a very sensitive dog and can be quite picky with food, so I was a little worried about leaving him while we traveled. But he ate so well and had such a wonderful time! Tania was absolutely amazing! She regularly sent us photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear that Bami felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m truly grateful for all the love and attention she gave him. We will definitely be trusting Tania with Bami every time we travel from now on! Thank you so much, Tania! ❤️🐾
Rawisra and Brownie are both amazing! ❤️ Our family was away on a 10-day vacation, and we couldn't have asked for better care for Jackie and Fia. We received updates at least once a day, which was wonderful because, let's be honest, every dog mom is always a little anxious to know how her babies are doing! 😂 Our dogs have very specific dietary needs, and Rawisra was so attentive and consistent in making sure everything was taken care of. Her thoughtfulness and care really showed throughout their stay. From all the pictures and videos, it was clear that Jackie and Fia were having the time of their lives and probably weren't missing us nearly as much as we were missing them! 😂 We are so grateful to Rawisra and Brownie for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. 100% recommend! ❤️
Anna is simply amazing! I needed to board my 15 year old dog Lola and was staying close by. Anna is commutative, caring, responds quickly, and was really accommodating concerning me stopping by to see Lola. Anna is as good as it gets. I would love to hire her again to care for my girl. Sweet, attentive, and loving care. Could not rate high enough or recommend more!!
I can’t recommend Janise enough! Ollie has stayed with her several times now, for both short and extended stays, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the care he receives. He always has the best time with Janise, her family, and their adorable dog Frankie! Janise is incredibly responsive and always keeps me updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout his stay, which gives me so much peace of mind. Ollie always looks so happy and comfortable in her care, and it’s clear he’s treated like part of the family. I’m so glad we found Janise and will absolutely continue booking with her. Highly recommend!
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my little Zara! Sandra went above and beyond in every possible way, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From daily photos and updates to thoughtful messages throughout the day, Sandra made sure I always knew how Zara was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. What really stood out to me was how genuinely involved Sandra is with the dogs. She doesn’t just watch them—she interacts with them, pays attention to their individual needs, and treats them like her own. She even made sure Zara stayed warm when I completely forgot to pack her a jacket! It’s those little thoughtful gestures that make all the difference. And then there’s sweet Penelope! Zara is my little sassy girl who typically has absolutely no interest in socializing with other dogs, so imagine my surprise when she and Penelope got along so beautifully! I was genuinely amazed, and seeing their little friendship develop was such a treat. What touched me even more was that Sandra reached out after I picked Zara up just to tell me how much she missed her. That alone speaks volumes about the genuine love and connection she builds with the dogs in her care. Sandra is truly a gem, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. She made being away from Zara so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my little girl with her again. Thank you, Sandra and Penelope, for loving and taking such wonderful care of my sassy little Zara! ❤️🐾
Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, she made the whole experience so easy and gave us one less thing to worry about while we were away. She was great with communication, always keeping us updated with messages and photos of Grizzly, which really meant a lot to us. What I appreciated most was how understanding and accommodating she was with our hectic schedule, especially when we had to deal with flight delays. She was incredibly flexible and made a stressful travel situation that much easier. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but knowing Grizzly was in good hands gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our family vacation. We’re truly grateful for Amanda’s kindness, patience, and care. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Grizzly again. Highly recommend!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Ridgefield 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 Ridgefield 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 Ridgefield.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgefield. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ridgefield 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
