“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”
“Bailey had a wonderful time staying with you again. She has so much fun with you and bonnie. We drop her off with a wagging tail and return to pick her up just as happy as when we left. You guys are awesome pet sitters!”
“Amy was so sweet and easy to make arrangements with! It made me feel good when she told me that Bear enjoyed hanging out with her family. Her daily updates and pictures were a treat. I would not hesitate to board Bear at Amy’s again.”
“Alexis does such a great job with Prince! She really takes care of him and provides the comfort Prince receives at home. I will continue to care for Prince when I am away.”
“Lan did an outstanding job caring my fur baby while I was away on short notice business travel! Lan diligently listened and followed the care instructions. Furthermore, Lan frequently provided updates, photos, and videos throughout the booking. I would highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Lan”
“Erica and her family welcome Paddy to their home. I know Paddy is in good hands when I drop him off. Erica send me photos and updates during his stay with her. I know he is happy from his smiling face in every photo. Erica knows his routines and is attentive to him. We are so happy we found Erica!”
“John did great with our little anxious dog Ellie. He was very communicative and made us feel very secure in leaving her for a week. His dog Parker was also very sweet to Ellie. We will definitely use them again, in fact we already booked them for a follow up in a few weeks when we will be out of town!”
“Sviatlana and Alexander did a great job with Gretzky and providing us updates. (: definitely would recommend and will be booking them for all future needs.”
“Joy was such a wonderful sitter and provided a warm, safe and friendly home away from home for our dog. She would send frequent updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing and was always quick to respond if I messaged her first. Would highly recommend!”
“My girl Cheddar had a great time with Karlyn! She and her daughter took excellent care of Cheddar, showered her with lots of love and cuddles, and made her feel comfortable while I was away. Karlyn was responsive when I needed her, proactively communicative with updates and pictures, and flexible with scheduling pickup and dropoff. Cheddar looks forward to her next visit and I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
About: I always want to make sure that the dog feels comfortable and safe with me (especially the first couple of minutes when the owner leaves) it might take some time for a dog to adapt and I am always there to make this transition as easy as possible with lots of love and respect. I am a full-time dog sister,so I have plenty time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. 😊 I'd like to know how your pup is with other animals and children? How does your dog do when left home alone? How much exercise and stimulation is the best? Any other specific personality traits or preferences?
“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”
“Alexandra was amazing with Burt. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and am so grateful when my flight got cancelled she was able to watch him an extra night/day. Burt looked like he was really living the life! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and had my own dog for 16 years. I started dog sitting about 3 years ago and have experience with in-home visits for scheduled feedings, walks, and overnight stays. I’ve also welcomed dogs into my home for a few days at a time. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medication. Your pup will be cared for like family 🤍 I currently work part-time and attend school full-time, with three completely free days each week. However I am flexible and I plan my schedule carefully to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I make sure feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins are always a priority in my routine. Making sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy is always my top priority. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow all care instructions and stick to their usual routines. I have a large, fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for safe playtime and zoomies! I maintain a clean, secure environment and treat every pet like my own so they feel loved and at ease. 🐾🤍
About: You know that “can you imagine telling the dog sitter this?” trend? Well you sure should. You can tell me. He only drinks from the bathtub faucet? She needs her blanket tucked a specific way? He gets 1 & 1/4 treats at exactly 8pm (and he KNOWS when it is exactly 8pm)? I want the whole list, and I’ll follow it. And document it for laughs later. Hi, I'm Lucille! I'm a first aid and pet CPR certified dog lover in the Haddon Township/Collingswood area offering drop-in visits, walks, and overnight/boarding care for pups who deserve a home away from home and not a kennel. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, and after enough people said "you should branch out and do this on Rover!" I decided to listen. So after deciding to take a break from corporate America, here I am! I spent 15 years in HR, which means I'm the person who reads the instructions and sends the update with documentation before you have to ask. Your dog's routine, meds, quirks, and "absolutely-not" list will be followed to the letter, with photos and check-ins so you can relax. For 8 years I was lucky to be a rescue mom to Padfoot, a 8lb toy poodle who came to me with behavior issues. He taught me patience, how to read a dog's body language, and how to earn trust on THEIR terms. I approach every dog just like Padfoot taught me, with calm energy, clear structure, and lots and LOTS of affection (if that’s their thing, of course!) Every new booking will start with a meet-and-greet. I'd love to meet you and your pup(s)! I am currently in the job market so while I am not working full time I have flexible availability. I cannot say I am a particularly active person, so don’t expect hikes and walks for miles and miles. However I do love the quiet walk around my neighborhood, which is a loop just short of a mile. **New Sitter Rates: - Boarding (in my home): $50/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - House sitting (in your home): $70/night (extended stay - more than 5 consecutive nights = 10% off total stay) - Drop-in visit or walk (30 min): $25 Add-ons: - Additional dog: +$10/night (boarding & house sitting); +$5 per walk/visit - Puppy under 1 year: +$5/night - Holiday surcharge: +20% per night, walk or visit Pick-up & drop-off services: - One way (within 5 miles): $10 - Round trip: $15 - Beyond 5 miles: +$1/mile **All rates applicable to Rover’s booking fees, taxes, etc. - I do not have a yard, but for outdoor space have a balcony that is secure. Pups will never be let outside unattended. - I can accommodate pee pee pads on said balcony, if needed. - I do not have a very large apartment, so I might not be the best fit for a dog that needs a lot of space for big zoomies. - Speaking of apartments, sorry but dogs that are frequent barkers could be problematic, so please consider that if you’re looking for a longer stay. - I can accommodate however the dog would like to sleep. While I love all dogs, my allergies do not, so unfortunately dogs that shed will not be able to sleep in bed with me. I will be very sad about this the entire time and reserve the right to change my mind. - NO cats, or dogs that share a household with cats. That’s where my allergies have set a firm boundary.

“Yulia and Kevin were great pet sitters and I would definitely rebook with them! Yulia kept me updated with pics of Louie and gave updates throughout the day. She also was very accommodating when I had to drop him off later than I anticipated. I can’t wait to book with them again for my future dog sitting needs 🐾☺️”
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been caring for animals, big and small, my entire life. I currently have two small (nearly identical) dogs, Frannie and Banana. I work from home so it’s easy for me to give them plenty of walks, pets and love. I have a small backyard and live steps from Norris Square park. I’m the go-to auntie to all of my friends pets :) I am a freelancer who works from home. I have two small dogs who I walk 2-3 times a day plus outside time in our backyard. My schedule is flexible and I live steps from Norris Square park. I have a fenced in backyard with a potty area. Two small dogs who are friendly. I typically have them meet new dogs outside of the home before having them come in to avoid any territorial behavior. My dogs eat 3 small meals a day and we keep treats to a minimum due to Frannie’s sensitive stomach. There are plenty of toys and the dogs are never out of sight.
“I think this is Eva’s 4th time with llana, so that should tell you everything you need to know! llana keep you posted on your love one several times a day, your animal will be in great hands!”
“Iger was awesome! Took care of our two Labs for a long weekend. One needed some skin medication and pills and Iger had no issues taking care of her. The other, our 11-month-old male, has boundless energy and had a great time in Iger's yard. Both got along well with Whiskey, his dog. Looking forward to having our dogs stay with both of them again! Highly recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverside
Leanne and Mark are absolutely marvelous. I met with Leanne before leaving my Portuguese Water Dog named Stella and my pup took to her immediately. She stayed with Leanne and Mark for two weeks and all the while I was sent photographs and updates and told how she was doing. Since I was travelling on business, it was a huge weight lifted from me knowing that Stella was in such good hands. She came back to me happy and healthy and I simply couldn't ask for more.
Lou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.
Craig took amazing care of our two pups while we travelled for the Christmas holiday. His place was absolutely perfect with the large back yard, and he also took them on many walks throughout the day. They had a great experience. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Randi was absolutely amazing! I always get nervous leaving Harper but she made me feel much better about everything. She kept me updated on how he was doing and sent pictures to ease my concerns. She was very attentive about keeping with our regular routines. I would highly recommend booking with her and definitely plan to book with her again in the future!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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 .
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.
