“Christina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while watching Kyrie! She sent tons of pictures, kept us updated throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. We trusted her right away, and she really came through for us when our flights were delayed and we needed a last-minute extension. Communication was clear, quick, and super helpful. We’d ask her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Jocelyn is an amazing dog sitter. She was communicative, professional and kind. She took care of my dogs for a period of 10 days and I had complete peace of mind because she sent me so many photos and videos of my pups having a great time in her home. She is a gem.”
“Cristina is an excellent petsitter. From the moment we met her she was very sweet and affectionate with Daphne. I was worried because Daphne is a very energetic dog but Cristina knew how to handle her and Daphne had a lot of fun with her. She went for walks 3 times a day, she received a lot of love. Without hesitation I will leave Daphne with Cristina again.”
“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, sick dogs, dogs of many breeds and sizes. I currently have a dog of my own as well. I will give your dog all the attention he/she needs. We can play, do basic training, feeding, cuddles, walking, you name it, I’ll do it. I have a dog of my own (Cashew) and he’s super friendly with other dogs. I have 3 different dog beds (see pics) and plenty of toys that Cashew’s willing to share. I will keep an eye on your dog at all times to make sure it’s safe. I will send you as many pics and videos as you’ll allow me to.
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“Aeli has looked after our boy Charlie several times now and he always has the best time at her house. We get updates several times per day which we appreciate and he always looks so happy, whether he’s playing or relaxing with belly rubs!”
“I We had a great experience with Yesenia and Manny while Cody stayed with them for 4 days during our trip. It was Cody’s first time boarding at someone else's house, and everything went smoothly. Yesenia and Manny were very attentive and caring, which made us feel completely at ease. They also sent us regular pictures and videos of Cody, so we could see how well he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend them and would definitely trust them again!”
“Lauren was awesome and patient with our lovable giant GSD. She was so patient and listen to all of the details concerning his care. She was also very observant, and gave us good advice on further care. We highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities for over 15 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and great with puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra love and calm care. I truly enjoy building trust with each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around each pet’s feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need to ensure they receive consistent attention and companionship. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, provide fresh water at all times, and make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and tidy, and I send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Madison is an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of Charlie and was so patient and loving with him. She kept me updated on how he was doing, which I really appreciated. Madison has a truly caring and kind nature. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her sitting services again.”
“Lucia is amazing dog sitter! She responded to massages immediately and provided daily updates, pictures, and videos. She took good care of Rex. Rex had a great time and got back home very happy. I highly recommend Lucia!”
“Rocío was great! Sent us lots of pics and kept us updated. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and had a lot of time to play. When we picked them up it looked like they were bathed ! We will be back!”
“Steven was excellent with our cat Tulip! We chatted beforehand and he was clearly very knowledgeable about cats, and really zeroed in on Tulips preferences and comfort in new environments. Drop-off was a breeze, and Tulip quickly started to explore the apartment. Steven gave updates multiple times per day and shared lots of videos and pictures. He even went out to get more cat food when what we brought was insufficient! Steven was an incredibly experienced, enthusiastic, and respectful caregiver for our cat. We definitely plan on using him again in the future!”
“Paola is a great caregiver. She and her family took very good care of our very elderly dog who needs constant special care and attention due to his age and kidney disease. At this age and with frequent need to pee, it takes a lot of work to keep him clean and from having accidents and mixing his prescription food twice a day. Paola did an excellent job caring for him, washing his bedding and clothes, giving him lots of petting and love to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away for a very long 12 days. I highly recommend Paola as an excellent, experienced dog sitter and are super grateful to her and her family for the daily updates and pictures, and for giving us a peace of mind knowing that our Desi was happy and well cared for. She and her son also were so generous in giving him a bath too, so he could come home clean. Thank you, Paola.”
“Carol was absolutely awesome! She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and reassured us that our pups were in good hands. She was flexible which we needed as we were hiring her ahead of having our baby who ended up coming early and she was gracious enough to move up our days. When she had questions she would reach out which we appreciated as our pups have skin issues and very sensitive stomachs. Carol and her family love pets and it is so evident by how happy our pups were at pick up and we will 100% be leaving our pups with her again. When we were driving off our pups were crying because they didn't want to leave. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”

I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

Amazing dog sitter! She was friendly, flexible, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort the whole time. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dog loved her instantly and was happy and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend — will definitely book again!
Moonyoung and Sunhyung are AMAZING. This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and also our first time using Rover. They were so amazing with all of the updates and pictures throughout the day. They took our pup to the park and took him out of walks multiple times a day. They are also super responsive in case you have any questions or concerns. We’re so glad we found people who we can trust!
I booked with Carol for boarding my dog. She was fantastic! She took very good care of my dog and adhered to feedings, walks, play time, and all the fun things my dog loves to do. She communicated well with me and provided pictures and updates each day. I can tell my dog enjoyed his time with her. If I need to board my dog again, I will definitely be booking with Carol again.
There is no one I trust more with my little one. Vinny makes sure that Luna is happy and well-loved. She was treated like family, and you could tell she was so at home when I got the pics of her watching TV and getting nighttime cuddles. Knowing that Luna was in great hands made our holiday that much more enjoyable. We will definitely book again
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of River Edge sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which River Edge landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their River Edge 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 River Edge.
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.
You and your River Edge 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.
