“Rebecca M, was simply the best person for my dog. She was knowledgeable and caring. She gave me good information regarding my dogs microchip and I acted on it the very next day. Now her chip is activated and I don't ever have to worry about her getting lost. I plan to use her again next week for my next trip. If you want a sitter for your dog, you can't get any better than Rebecca!”

“Look no further if you are looking for a true animal lover who will treat your fur baby as her own. I searched high and low to find Lori and her wonderful husband, Victor - and it was worth it! Lori sent pictures every day and I could see by my little baby Sadie's face that she was spoiled with love and attention. I would work my vacations around their schedule if possible bc they were that wonderful! We highly recommend!”

About: Why Choose Me? 🐾 Caring for dogs is something I’ve been doing my entire life. My family has never been without a dog, and now that I’m in my own home with my husband and our 2-year-old dog, I get to continue doing what I love—giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving place to stay. Over the years, my family and I have cared for the pets of friends and relatives more times than I can count, from overnight stays to month-long visits. Every dog who comes into our home is treated like family from the moment we meet them. We’re happy to give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and, of course, lots of snuggles on the couch. 🐶❤️ Meet Ellie! 🐾 Our 2-year-old pup, Ellie, is a crazy, fun-loving girl with lots of excitable energy! She absolutely loves having other dogs around and is always ready to make a new friend. Whether it’s running around and playing, chasing each other in the yard, or simply hanging out together, Ellie loves the company of other pups. Because Ellie is so playful, she can be a great companion for dogs who enjoy having a furry friend around. Of course, I always take each dog’s personality and comfort level into consideration and make sure everyone gets the attention and space they need. A Home Away From Home 🏡 Our home is a place where dogs can truly feel at home. If your dog is used to sleeping in the bed, they’re welcome to do that here too! If you prefer that your dog stays off the furniture at home, we’ll absolutely do our best to maintain those boundaries and routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. Your pet will receive the same patience, attention, affection, and care that I would want for my own. 🐾 I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup and give them a loving home away from home while you’re away! Pet care is something I make a priority in my daily routine! I love making sure every pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and opportunities to feel comfortable and at home. I plan my schedule around the needs of the dogs in my care so they can enjoy a safe, loving environment while staying active and happy. Our fully fenced backyard provides a safe, spacious environment where dogs can play, explore, and enjoy fresh air alongside our friendly, playful dog, Ellie. We offer plenty of supervision, attention, and opportunities for fun, along with a comfortable crate option for dogs who prefer a quiet, cozy space to relax and recharge.

“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”

About: I am an animal lover and would love to help take care of your furry, feathered, and scaled friends! I have 3 cats and since I was born, I have always had at least one cat and fish. I also love dogs and have experience with farm animals, too. I can help with feedings, waste clean-up, walking, play time, brushing, and whatever else you may need. I am also happy to take photos, send you text updates, or do a phone call/video chat with you during the service so I can keep you informed with any updates and to put your mind at ease (I know how stressful it can be when you've just met your pet sitter and you're away on vacation, missing your babies- I've been there!). Please feel free reach out with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a phone or in-person interview. I currently work part-time as a tour guide and do the occasional side gig in the pet care/housekeeping field. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I can make early morning and late afternoon and evening visits. Certain days I am available any time of day, as I am only working part-time and not every day. I always respect the client's house rules and put pet safety first. I can assist with feedings, walking dogs/letting them out in the yard, waste clean-up, brushing, and playtime/keeping pets' company.

Valerie was exceptional. This was our first time leaving Finn in someone else's house. She took him in with such ease and we totally trusted her. He love running in the back yard. Would highly recommend Valerie.

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 .

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. 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.
