“Kate is amazing!!! I have never had my dog look more at home than he did when he stayed with Kate. She is communicative, flexible, and so kind. My dog was snuggled up with her throughout his entire stay and I know he’s going to want to go back to Kate so soon!”
About: Dogs have a special place in my heart. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs in the past when in need. I treat any dog as if they are mine. I have a two year old Maltese named Henry. He loves playing with other dogs! Your dog will be very happy staying with us! We have a fenced in yard and I work from home so I will be able to take them out for frequent potty breaks and play time. I work from home, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for day care and boarding weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your pet in good company. Dogs will never be unattended or left alone. I am able to take your dog on a walk, if allowed. Because Henry is afraid of big dogs, I can only dog sit small dogs.
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“IIiana is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Our July was so at peace and happy. She sends pictures and updates throughout the days. She had July for 4 days and we're so appreciative of her loving care. She's our permanent sitter now. Whenever July needs a vacation she will go with her AUNTIE IIIANA! THANKS AGAIN TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. MANY BLESSINGS. 🙏🏽🙌🏽💯❤️”
“Priyanka is the best Rover care giver I’ve ever had. She is caring and thoughtful and took incredible care of our senior dog. We’re so grateful to her and will definitely book her again”
“Yesenia did a great job of looking after Charlie for a few days. He loved playing with her dog as well as other dogs that she was sitting. I highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Another great stay with Cathy! When my pup sees the house she gets excited walking up to the door! We get daily pics and daily reports of how she’s doing. We couldn’t be happier knowing our pup is doing so well. Cathy comes with my highest recommendation!!”
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.
“Tae is an excellent dog sitter! Our pup Loki has separation anxiety, but took to Tae quickly and seemed to settle in very nicely. Tae was great with communications, and sent frequent updates and pictures, so we were completely at ease while we were away. Thank you so much! We and Loki appreciate your care!”
“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”
“I booked with Xunzi because I had a last minute trip come up and she was more than willing to help. She sent me so many photos and videos of my baby girl during her stay and updated me every step of the way! If you want to feel like you’re still with your pup even if you’re not, book with her!”
“Christine was such a fantastic caretaker for our miniature schnauzer! Her two dogs were friendly and kept him busy all week and they looked like they had a lot of fun. I was sent plenty of fun pics and videos throughout my time away. Would definitely book again!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Edge
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and Mary made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident that Benji was in great hands. Her home is very clean, and she kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Benji had a wonderful time with her. I would absolutely trust Mary with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Our dog had a great time staying with them! He had a hard time adjusting at first and marked his territory, but they were incredibly patient and understanding. Before long, he settled in and became much more comfortable. They were the most responsive and communicative sitters throughout his stay. They kept us updated, flagged any concerns calmly without causing unnecessary stress during our wedding weekend, and took amazing care of Chase—even through the fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend. We're so grateful for the love and patience they showed him, and we'll definitely be booking with them again soon!
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!

There are 14,282 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
