“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.”
“Cathy was a great sitter for our three small dogs during our vacation. She has a nice fenced yard and sent frequent updates and photos of our pups during our trip. We definitely recommend her and plan to have them stay with her again in the future. Thanks Cathy!”
“Melissa and her family are the absolute BEST!!!! My dog absolutely loves going to their home and being entertained, loved and treated like a princess. I can't say enough good things!”
“Mickey was great! His entire household was very welcoming and he understood our senior dog’s needs. He was great at keeping us up to date with pictures and texts and made sure Duke was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”
“I highly recommend Peiyi ( and Greg ) to take care of your precious pet. We had a wonderful experience. We just returned from a trip to Alaska and they took care of our pet Morkie. This is the first time a non-family member watched her, and they were very attentive and responsive to our communications while we were away for 10days. You can see that they care for the animals and enjoy having them. They sent pictures and videos every day so you can see your pet is doing well, and you have peace of mind while on vacation. We will definitely be using their services again.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was little. We had a German Shepherd and Boxer before having my kids. Now I am a dog Mom to a 10 year old Maltipoo who we love so much. I only take one client at a time I work from home full-time, so I’m always around to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will never feel alone. I have a safe, fenced yard where they can play and stretch their legs and also have great company, my friendly Maltipoo, who loves making new furry friends ☺️
“Aeli was very responsive and caring with our dog. We were really appreciative that she sent photos on a regular basis and asked questions to ensure he sticks to his usual routine.”
“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.”
“We had such a great experience with Kun and family! He is extremely responsive and accomodating. We needed a sitter last minute, and Kun was able to take our dog without any problems. We also appreciated the updates throughout the day. I felt at ease knowing that our dog was basically on his own vacation with Kun and family”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“Christina was amazing from start to finish! Amazing communication and multiple photo updates daily. She and her husband really took great care of my Bella! Will absolutely be booking her again. Thanks Christina!”
“Ankita was absolutely wonderful with my pet. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. She treated my pet like her own and made sure every detail was taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and responsibility she showed. I highly recommend Anikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Mi was caring; provided outstanding care to Lily. She was very attentive and supportive regarding Lily's needs. Mi sent us updates along with videos and pictures of Lily's day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 13,551 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saddle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Saddle River sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saddle River landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saddle River home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saddle River.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Saddle River sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
