About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they feel loved, happy, and safe while under my care. My focus is on providing refreshing outdoor walks that give your dog the exercise and fresh air they need to stay healthy and happy. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and pace, ensuring every walk is enjoyable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize giving your dogs the care and attention they deserve. I’m available for regular walks during the week and on weekends. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or a longer adventure, I’m here to help keep them active and content. Safety is my top priority. During our walks, I use secure harnesses and leashes to ensure your dog is always under control. I carefully choose routes that are safe, quiet, and full of fresh air so your furry friend feels relaxed and happy. Rain or shine, I’ll make sure your pup gets the outdoor time they love.
“Honestly I am super satisfied and very happy with the care my pups received from Rocio. She kept me updated throughout the day with my pups, played with them, walked them, fed them, and loved them as if they were her own. The pups definitely enjoyed the care Rocio gave them and they even smelled good when I got them! Rocio was very understanding and flexible with what I needed in terms of schedule. I also love the fact that she has other dogs for my dogs to be exposed and got along so well with my pups. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
“I was so happy to have Ophelia stay with Deborah, and she had a great time playing with Deborah’s dog Henry. Deborah’s house is very neat and clean, she’s a great communicator, and overall a lovely person to meet. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Karla was super responsive and very accommodating! She accepted our request immediately and took care of pup like he was her own. He even came back to us with a printed holiday photo! Definitely recommend and will use again. Thank you!!”
“Bentley had a great time today at Nicole’s. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She also sent updates and pictures throughout his time there which was really nice. Highly recommend!”
“Andrew took fantastic care of our puppy, Ace. He always responded promptly and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We were thrilled with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend! 😊😊”
“Jennifer was great with our dog, Blue. First, she was available and happy to help with a same-day request. Second, she was exceptionally friendly and the pictures she sent us during the sitting certainly showed a happy time for our precious boy. Would definitely book again with Jennifer.”
“Chulmin, Hoyjin and Molly have been so great and trustworthy looking after my little gomi as if it’s their own. They are so accommodating and flexible to my crazy schedule and I am just so grateful to have found them especially as this was my first time using rover.”
About: I've had dogs all my life! My pup Toffee is my best friend, nothing beats coming home to someone who's always so excited to see you! I take care of friends' and family's dogs while they're away as well - both large and small. I spoil them and always want them to feel at home while their person is away. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! Intermittent games of fetch between zoom calls are always on the agenda as well! Lunchtime breaks consist of lots of play time, and after work I usually make sure that we spend a good amount of time outside. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! I love giving lots of playtime and cuddles on the floor, and love being able to take them out to the park to run and play, or just a leisurely stroll around the block! I'll practice commands too with lots of treats and praise!
“Rocky always has so much fun with Vinny! He was obsessed with the doggie pool and running around with other friends. Not only is he taken care of with Vinny, but will have a great time”
“Craig was the first ever dog sitter from Rover that I’ve used. If all goes well I’m really hoping he’s the only one I ever have to use. He was extremely knowledgeable about dogs, actually enjoyed being with my dog (which is the most important to me), kept me updated, and when I picked my pup up, he was happy and easily jumped right back into routine. I would recommend Craig over & over again!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog from puppyhood. I understand the needs of puppies as well as adult dogs, and I provide a calm, safe, and attentive home environment. I offer daycare for one small dog at a time, so each dog gets plenty of care and supervision. I currently offer in-home doggy daycare on Thursdays and Fridays. I am home during the day and able to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, and attentive care throughout the visit. I provide a calm and safe home environment with a fully fenced yard. I care for one small dog at a time to ensure close supervision and attention. Dogs are always monitored, and owners are asked to bring food and comfort items their dog is familiar with.
“Eric was very helpful. He kept posting pics and was available and responsive when I asked about my dog. My dog ran out of food and he was so kind to put effort and buy him his favorite food.. Overall my experience was great and I highly recommend him.”
“Pierre and Minji were wonderful with Coco. This has been the first time she was calm at another place other than home. I could tell they treated as their own dog. Communication was great at all times and they are just lovely people. I’m so happy to have found this amazing pair to trust Coco with anytime.”

They accepted my last minute booking. Very communicative and just really friendly people. They were accommodating with my senior dog needs. You could tell they have alot of experience caring with pets. Such and pawsome sitter. Thank you and I hope you’ll accept our future requests.
Pierre and Minji were wonderful with Coco. This has been the first time she was calm at another place other than home. I could tell they treated as their own dog. Communication was great at all times and they are just lovely people. I’m so happy to have found this amazing pair to trust Coco with anytime.
As always Catherine is reliable. Cub is used to her and her sweet Cashew. Her place is dog-friendly and so is the area by her apartment. She takes Cub for walks and sends us photos. She just knows what to do and we trust her. Thank you so much, Catherine for caring for Cub.
I cannot thank Karla enough for providing an amazing care to our dog, Miley. I had to book her as last min booking while we were traveling and we couldn’t leave our dog for long hours at the hotel. Karla sent us numerous photos throughout the day when she was taking care of Miley from 9am-5pm. She was informative on how our dog was settling in, how she was spending time, or taking treats etc. She made our travel stress free because we knew Miley was getting a gray care. I would highly recommend her to any dog owners 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 River Edge 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 11,297 sitters in River Edge, 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.
