âHighly recommend! Kevin took such great care of my Lab/Mastiff mix Bear while I was away for a week. He is so welcoming and really understands how to work with large dogs. Bear has anxiety when in new places and a sensitive stomach and Kevin handled it like a pro.â
âOur dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!â
âGianna made our first time using Rover a breeze - she was super responsive, sending many photos and videos, and very flexible. Our pup seemed to warm up to her right away. We will definitely use her again!â
âGreat experience! She took wonderful care of Leo and kept me updated while I was away. He seemed happy and comfortable with her, and Iâd definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!â
About: Iâm a patient, organized, and gentle person when it comes to pets. Iâm detailed oriented and cleanliness is a big part of my nature to ensure a neat environment and safety is ensured for all pets and others. Pet care fits into my routine due to my high energy and love for physical activity whether it be playing with pets or going for long walks. Exercise is important to me so walking with my own dog helps each other out greatly. I care for all pets similar to my own dog with gentleness to ensure safety and the well-being of their health. I spend most of my free time caring for my dog when I have the availability aside from work and school.
âAmrit was fantastic! Super communicative and kind. I could tell our cat was well taken care of for the week he spent with Amrit. Amrit was also very flexible and understanding with changes in plans. HIGHLY recommend and would 1000p book with him again!â
âMilena is a gem; our dog has a wonderful time with her, is extremely well cared for, and (if weâre honest), is probably a little sad when we come to pick her up after a stay with Milena. Highly recommend!â
âWe had a wonderful experience with KAJAL D. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave us peace of mind while leaving our dog in their care. They were reliable, attentive, and made sure to follow all of our instructions perfectly. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly enjoyed the extra attention. We also appreciated the regular video call, updates and photosâthey made us feel connected even while we were away. I would highly recommend KALAL D. to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter. Weâll definitely be booking again!â
âWe were worried about leaving our spicy kitty with someone while we went away for vacation as sometimes he can be a little mean. Boy were we wrong!! Jennifer is one of the kindest people we have met who had so much love and patience for our kitty. Our cat Smokey was so calm and happy with her.. it was obvious that he felt so comfortable and at home with Jennifer. She sent us multiple videos during his stay and always updated us on how he was doing and making sure we knew how much she loved our baby. He was in great hands!! We are eternally grateful and blessed to have found Jennifer and without a doubt will be bringing Smokey back whenever we need a petsitter. Thank you Jennifer!!!!! âĽď¸â
âI highly recommend Jaqueline to all pet parents. She kept me up to date with how my baby was adjusting to a new space and surrounding her with love and attention. I would definitely rebook!!â
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are. I have had pets since I could remember
About: I've been training (my own) and taking care of dogs for most of my life. From puppies to large/giant breeds, and even seniors â I can handle them all. I have been working from home for the last 12 years and have a very flexible schedule. This makes it easy for me to be available at any time. I have a Great Dane at home. I'm open to caring for you pets here, provided they get along. In terms of care in your home â I think it's pretty simple. I follow you're routine.
âExtremely friendly and accommodating - Abbe made our last-minute vacation possible! Our dog looked so happy in the photos and came home exhausted from all of the attention. We will definitely use Abbe again!â
âI would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisyâs stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisyâs stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.â
âWe boarded our boy Milo at Parthâs for 8 days. Parth followed Miloâs schedule and sent regular updates during the stay. our boy had a fun time with Parth and Snoops. Will be using him again.â
âBruce had another awesome stay with Ahmad! He gets lots of love and attention while staying with Ahmad and never wants to leave đ would definitely recommend!â
âSulay was great. Very communicative and caring. When I picked up Clemmie, her tail was high and I could tell she was relaxed staying at Sulayâs, which is so nice for an anxious dog.â
âAmanda took great care of our puppy over a long weekend. Amanda was very responsive throughout the whole process and took direction well. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area.â
âI was so grateful Tanacka agreed to watch Mimi last minute. I was happy her children showed Mimi so much attention. She thrives off of attention. Mimi was not ready to leave. Thank you Tanacka for taking good care of Mimi!â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scotch Plains
We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for Piper during her recovery from major surgery. Leaving her for four nights was nerve-wracking, but Na made it easy from the start. Piper ate wholesome, nourishing meals the whole time, and Na even treated her to organic goodies after asking us for permission. We got multiple photos and updates every day, so we always knew how she was doing. We were not worried at all because we knew she was in the very best hands. Most of all, you could tell Piper was showered with love. She came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. Na was attentive, kind, and communicative, which is exactly what you want when your dog is healing. We're so grateful and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!
Michelle was so great with our dog Benji, weâve already had 2 stays with her! Communication and pickup/drop off were all a breeze. We always prefer to leave our dog in a home rather than boarding, and Michelle and her family have the perfect home to share with furry family! We will definitely rebook the next time we go away.
Celeste took incredible care of our 12-year-old pup while we were away. Our dog is naturally very anxious, but Celeste was so sweet, calm, and patient that our dog warmed up right away. The updates and photos kept us reassured the whole time. If you have a dog who needs extra tenderness, Celeste is the person to call!
My dog loves boarding here! Heâs stayed twice and both times came home happy and well loved. I received plenty of photo updates throughout his stay and always knew he was being well taken care of. He needs pills with his meals and that was never a problem. My dog canât wait to go back!
Rosary was so great with our 5 year old dog, Allen. Heâs a rescue and is hesitant with new people, but Rosary was extra gentle and loving with him. She even cooked him meals daily without me asking! I think our dog was actually sad to come home! We will definitely book again and highly recommend.
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.

There are 13,870 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Scotch Plains. About 87% of Scotch Plains sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre 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 petâs personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
