“Iliana was wonderful with both of my dogs Benji and Lucy. Lucy stay only for a couple of days. I called Iliana last minute on new years and she was very accommodating. Benji stayed with her nearly 3 weeks. We communicated pretty much everyday. I will definitely contact her for my future trips. Once again thanks”
“Rocio is an amazing and wonderful caregiver. She kept us updated with pictures and messages. Our dogs came back so happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Rocio and I am so glad we found her.”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Oscar was well taken care of with Ann! His tail was wagging when we dropped him off and picked him up. He loved running in the backyard and Ann sent us pictures with him relaxing in her home. We so appreciate his stay with Ann! Highly recommend!”
“Natali took wonderful care of Griffin while I was away. She was very patient with all of his quirks and special needs. She was very communicative and regularly let me know how he was doing. I really felt like she made Griffin very comfortable in her home and cared for him as if he were her own. I’m also very grateful to her for being so accommodating when I realized at the last minute that I had booked for the wrong dates! I would absolutely trust her to watch Griffin again in the future.”
“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Andrew. He did an amazing job watching my American Bully. Leaving a dog of this breed requires someone confident and attentive, and he exceeded all my expectations. He was professional, and proactive about keeping me updated with photos throughout his stay. Most importantly, he when above and beyond and took the time to work on some socializing skills with my Rhino. He ensured he got plenty of exercise on his walks. A true gem and fund of knowledge educating us on things I’ve never heard of or knew about. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking him again!”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Mohini was great with Lola. I reached out to her on the last scheduled day saying I needed her to keep Lola an extra day and she said that would not be a problem. She also shared multiple photos of how Lola was doing. Thanks again Mohini”
“What an amazing experience from our meet and greet to our first booking with Lucy. Theo was made to feel at home with Lucy, her consistent updates of videos and pictures helped ease any anxiety one would have leaving a fur-baby for any duration of a stay. The flexibility and communication were Lucy’s super power. Thank you so much!!!”
“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.”
“Cristina was amazing with Raven during our week away! She sent daily updates and adorable photos & videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs—not just saying it, but truly showing it in how she cares. Raven came home happy, relaxed, and maybe a little bit spoiled (in the best way). Highly recommend!”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Sherrie was wonderful! She’s excellent with routine. She asked all the right questions, followed all instructions, and is a true animal lover. We wanted a mature and responsible caregiver and after our meet & greet we were positive we found The One. After seeing Sherrie with her own sweet dog, we could tell how committed and wonderful she is as a pet owner. Thank you so much to Sherrie and her finance. ❤️ They made our trip worry free and we will book again.”
“Carol is an amazing pet sitter! Her care was exceptional, and she made communication so easy with adorable photo updates. My dog clearly had a wonderful time with her. She's professional, reliable, and truly warm-hearted. Highly recommend!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. 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.

Amarys was such an amazing pet sitter! Not only was she extremely humble and sweet, she took such great care of our pups, Mochi and Miso. I can’t thank her enough for being so attentive and caring with the dogs. We have a pup with a strict diet which she stuck to and even reached out when clarity was needed. She went above and beyond to tell us about her healthy, homemade treat line for our dogs although they have sensitive tummies…I must say, her treats are a must try! Our dogs didn’t have any adverse reactions to them and loved the flavor. Overall, I’d 1000% recommend her for your pet care/needs!
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!
Jadea was great! Received daily communication and updates. Jadea was responsive and reachable when necessary. Our dog was well cared for and received the personal attention he is used to. We loved getting pictures of him throughout his stay with her. Would definitely use her again in the future!
My dog immediately liked Karla and didn't mind a bit when I left the house. Karla did an excellent job of sharing photos and updates during my dog's stay, so I was always at ease. I greatly appreciated how flexible Karla was with the advance notice changes to the pickup and drop off times. If I ever need overnight care again, I've got Karla on speed dial!
Suzie is an awesome pet sitter. She treated Luna as her own kitty. She provided daily pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting and said that Luna took over the house and had freedom to roam everywhere. She even said that Luna slept with her and her husband at night. I wholeheartedly recommend Suzie and I plan on using her again for my next trip.
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 are 14,294 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Edge. About 88% of River Edge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
