About: i’ve taken care of puppies since I was 10 years old and wrote a PowerPoint to my dad to get my own dog when I was younger lol. I’ve trained them all myself and have fed them organically and they live very happy lives. I am a nurse who is trained in every emergency case scenario and I love seeing puppies on my days off to brighten my day and to give them the love, they deserve. I work three days a week as a nurse so I have many days off and times when I am home otherwise my brother is home. That helps me as well. I am looking to do this on my days off to cheer me up after a hard shift and to love dogs. I live in apartment complex that is gated and I have a rooftop that has a dog park on it specifically for dogs as well as there are many dog parks in my area to take dogs and a lot of walking areas as well
“This is a review for the entire family because all of them were such a big part of Lila's great weekend! My dog is high energy and also snuggly like velcro and Anmol and Trupti AND their boys gave her an affectionate, energetic weekend with lots of hugs and lots of play time. Will definitely use them again!”
“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”
“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Oscar stayed with Meg for 21 days when we were on trip to India. Awesome family. They took care of Oscar as their own dog. We were updated everyday. Never worried about Oscar. Thanks Meg & family”
“Kayla and her girls showed Marley so much love and she was very understanding when we needed to pick her up an hour later than we requested due to traffic. Additionally we received pictures each day showing us how much fun Marley was having, which gave us such a piece of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Fiona is great! Our little Sherlock boy loved her! He is an old man, set in his ways but he was very comfortable with her. She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and even got him new treats. He has a nervous habit of drinking a lot of water when in a new environment. She immediately picked up on it and messaged me and watched him as he settled down into normal drinking levels. Rover and Fiona in particular were a great solution for us while camping at a no-dogs campground.”
“Gavriel is incredible! Kind, communicative, and caring. Efficiently sending regular updates. Provided a great, calm, safe and tranquil environment. My pup really enjoys her care, I can tell!”
“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
“Our puppy Mo came back so happy and healthy! We appreciate Megan so much we can tell Mo had an amazing time and she sent us a lot of pictures the whole time! Would definitely rehire her! Her family was so kind as well! Mo came back acting even better than when we left her!”
“Lea surpassed all my expectations and did a fantastic job dogsitting Mitso while I was out of town! The care and attention she gave Mitso while closely following my instructions put my mind at ease and made for a very content and happy dog when I picked him up. I strongly recommend Lea for your pet sitting needs!”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”

Rick and his property was perfect for our 6 month old Corgi. He has a massive property for your dog to run around safely, which is very hard to find in Monmouth County. He sent us multiple videos throughout the stay to keep us updated and at ease. You can 100% trust Rick to take great care of your dog, Highly recommend!!
Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.

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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
