“Max and family spent time with Archie last minute for me. They were very attentive communicative and updated with pictures throughout the night. If I’m ever in a bind in the Manalapan freehold area, I definitely will be using them again. Archie had a blast.”

“Monika and her family took great care of Einie while we traveled for 3 weeks. Einie was well looked after and enjoyed his time with Finn (Monika’s Dalmatian) and her children. Einie will definitely be back with them, and I highly recommend them. Thank you Monika.”

“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”

“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.”

“Susie came back well cared for and seemed to think it was her house that she stayed at for the weekend Catherine is welcoming and pleasant and my dog’s reaction to her says it all.”

“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”

“Hedra did a wonderful job watching our dog, Cocoa, while we were away. He was reliable, communicated consistently, and clearly took great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.”

“Brian was so great to work with! He and his family were were amazing and gave us peace of mind to leave our boy Diego over the holiday. Brian wasn’t the closest sitter available but choosing him was the easiest decision we’ve made. We’ve used Rover for several years and for several different pets and I can assure you, your pets are in EXCELLENT hands here!! We are grateful to have found Brian and will absolutely use him again!”

“Harley was fantastic! She totally accommodated my 10 year old Labrador, who’s not the easiest to care for. She really loved him and did her best to make him feel at home and comfortable. She was very communicative about everything and sent lots of photos. Her house was clean and large enough for a 100lb lab. Her yard is big and fenced in. We will def be rebooking her! Thanks Leny 🫶🏼”

“I cannot begin to put into words how amazing Yvette is. She truly is something special. My 7month old German shepherd, Cooper, absolutely adores her. I left him with her over night and I knew he was going have the best care with Yvette. She updated me through the stay and I could see that Cooper really was happy staying with her. Look no further if you need a trustworthy and loving caretaker for you furry family member.”

“Dhara and her family were friendly and caring hosts for our little man Mr. Darcy. That includes their pooch “Coco” who was playful and not territorial with a visiting doggie scampering around the house. Dhara sent plenty of updates and photos during Mr. Darcy’s visit as of an upcoming longer stay. The stay could not have gone better, and we’re very confident and comfortable leaving Mr. Darcy in the caring hands Dhara and her family going forward. Its clear that they’re “dog people” who care.”

“Not sure where to begin with Laura other than we LOVED her and you should stop searching rover and book with her right now! She was the best at every step of the way - from initial inquiry for booking, to meet & great, to confirming pick up, the stay with Charlie, communication, etc, everything she did was top notch. Charlie stayed 16 nights with Laura - we know he fell in love with her and will miss her dearly! Some more details: Request for booking - before confirming the booking she called us to go over discuss his demeanor, his usual schedule, go over any quirks, etc Meet & great - we met at her house to do the meet & great, it went without a hitch and she made us feel so at ease that Charlie would be staying with her. She only ever has one dog with her and this is her full time gig, so you don’t have to worry about someone booking and then ignoring your dogs needs. You can tell that Laura has experienced just about everything, which is comforting when leaving your dog for a long duration. Check in before drop off - she checked in leading up to drop off to make sure all details were squared away. Charlie had had seizures in the past & takes 5 pills a day, so his pill schedule and regime is quite difficult and takes a bit of explanation, but she was not at all worried and made us feel so at ease! She asked a bunch of questions to make sure she got to know everything about Charlie before her stay. She went over details we didn’t even think about like what are some of his commands for going potty or get your toy. During the stay: this truly was a vacation for Charlie! Laura has a fenced in yard where Charlie could have access whenever he wanted, and she took him on multiple very long walks throughout the day. He definitely more exercised than when he’s with us! We didn’t meet her husband, but we got some photo updates with Charlie cuddled up to him, so we know her husband was very involved with Charlie too! Laura let us know that she would give multiple photo updates throughout the day and if there is an emergency she would start off with saying it’s an emergency, all other texts she would say would be for fun! She sent 4-6 updates per day which we loved and was super conscious about the time difference! She allowed Charlie on the couch and to sleep in her bed (she said she follows whatever routine the parents have established for him!) The icing on the cake was Denielle, her business partner, who is her back-up plan. If Laura has a long appointment or something, Denielle steps in and in the off chance Laura had an emergency, Denielle is there! It was awesome! All in all, this was the best Rover experience we’ve ever had! In fact, the day we picked Charlie up we already re-booked Laura for our next vacation!!”


About: We’ve had dogs our entire lives and currently share our home with an Australian Shepherd, so we’re very familiar with active dogs and consistent routines. We’ve also fostered dogs, giving us experience helping pets feel comfortable in new environments and working with different personalities. We treat every dog like our own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are around throughout the day. Pets receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention in a calm family environment. With two adults home, we’re able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routines. Because we have two young children, we only accept dogs that are friendly with kids and other dogs. Dogs stay with us as part of our daily family routine and receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day since we both work from home. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, supervised home environment where dogs feel relaxed and cared for.
“Meena and her husband are very responsible dog sitter. They sent photos of Sunny although it was just 1 day stay. They accommodated my request as well. I definitely like to my dog stay Meena's place in the future.”


“Christine was a great dog sitter for our two dogs Timon and Rafika. They got along well with her dog Piper and I could tell by the pictures they were comfortable and enjoyed their time playing, snuggling and sleeping in their normal comfortable spots. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”

“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smithburg
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Gabriella. Our dog can be pretty anxious, and from the very beginning, Gabriella was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive. She took the time to understand our dog, kept us updated, and truly treated our pup like her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring, capable hands. We recommend her to everyone without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Smithburg home-away-from-home, 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 Smithburg.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Smithburg 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 , 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 .
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.
