“Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.”

“Klainer was amazing with my tiny dog Moqui! She was so responsive, sent me so many updates and photos and was so kind. I have a very anxious dog and Klainer made sure to make her feel at home. Thank you so much!”

“We are so grateful to Jessica for the love and kindness she showered on our pups Mickey and Whitey this week while we were out of the country. They had such a great time and we were so happy knowing they were being treated so well. Jessica shared many adorable photos and videos of the dogs with us daily during their stay. It was clear that their every want and need was met, and Jessica loved them as if they were her own. It was an absolute blessing to have found you and can't thank you enough Jessica!”

“We love Tiara and how she cares for our cat! We are repeat customers for a reason. She is really easy to communicate with, very sweet and fast to respond, and very good with animals. Loved seeing updates while we were away, and interacting with Tiara. Thanks, Tiara!!!!”

“Darien and her family were wonderful! They took good care of our dog, and kept us updated, through messages and photos, of the stay. Darien is also very meticulous about feedings and ensuring that our dog felt at home. We really appreciated that!”

“Returning customer here! Stacia is just a godsend. She was available to take care of my little baby on short notice, AND on a holiday so that I could enjoy myself without having to worry about (pet) parenting. 100% recommend! She is amazing!”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”

“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”


“I am a first time dog owner and left our 1 year old Puppy with Manuel for four nights. We were anxious at first but Manuel quickly put us at ease with his responsiveness and his experience with dog care. He is truly one of a kind. I highly recommend his services and we will absolutely use him in the future!”

“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”

“Lisa and her family took exceptional care of my 1 year old Maltipoo. Lisa was accommodating, flexible and very communicative. I would not hesitate at all to book with her again. Thanks Lisa!”


“We booked for the first time with Amy over Memorial Day Weekend and are so appreciative of the love and care she gave our dog, Stanley! Amy sent daily updates and photos which we were so grateful for, and we love that she and her family treated Stanley like he was their own. We will absolutely be rebooking Amy again :)”

“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”

“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience, taking care of my family’s two dogs and cat, fostering dogs for two years at a local animal shelter, and sitting/ walking neighborhood pets. I currently am free all day, 7 days a week until I begin work as a preschool summer camp counselor in the end of June. After that, I still have a lot of availability, M-F anytime after 3pm and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced yard and crates available if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood with a park nearby which is perfect for walks, and have an animal-loving family. I am an avid rule follower, responsive communicator and will prioritize ensuring the safety of each pet.
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”

“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”

Short Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!

Vanessa and Kyla are fantastic! They were so good with my temperamental dog and great to work with. I had a last minute request for pet sitting that changed multiple times. Through all the changes, they were so accommodating. Focus was always on what was best for my dog. Thank you!!

Matthew took such good care of Noel and treated her like his own pet. You can tell he truly loves and cares for animals. He was so gentle and patient with her, especially with her anxiety. I noticed Noel had a better transition with Matthew than she had with any other sitter I have used in the past which says a lot about his character and the care he gives animals. 100% would use him again in the future. Thank you again!

Sharon took great care of my dog over a long weekend! She was very communicative both in booking, scheduling and confirming. She sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! It gave me peace of mind to know everything was ok. It was clear that my dog was well looked after at her house! I will definitely use her again.

Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!
