“Ginnette is seriously AMAZING with dogs and I promise you will not regret booking with her. We sent our introverted cutie Maltese Lulu to her as we were traveling for 10 days and we were initially pretty anxious about how she would do in a new environment. However, after the meet and greet, we were actually EXCITED for our pup to enjoy her own little vacation at Ginettes place. Very shortly after we dropped our pup off, I already started getting pictures of how Lulu was settling in and getting along with Ginettes dog pumpkin (who is sooo cute and friendly). Throughout the trip, we got plenty of updates and loved seeing Lulu sleep eat play and relax. Her home is a warm environment, they have access to the couch and bed and other comfy spots (cozy blankets everywhere!) and she will care for your dog like it’s her own. We will certainly be booking with Ginette in the future :)”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Rachel and her family. She watched our princess, Demi from June 9th - 13th and sent me pictures and text on a daily basis. She also responded to text in a timely matter. We were so happy that we booked with Rachel again for the end of June. She is very committed and recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“First time using this app and Cristian was the Best! Took great care of my puppy, walked her a few times a day, showed enthusiasm with her, and sent me photos and updates daily. Great caretaker, easy to communicate with and very understanding because I was a little late with my flight. Will be using Cristian again for sure next time!!!”
“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”
About: I am the kind of person who wants to stop and pet every dog in the park. I've had a dog for 13 years and currently have 2 cats of my own. I have fostered cats with a rescue organization. I love furry creatures of all breeds and sizes. Your fur baby will get walks, play and lots of cuddles throughout their day. They will receive the best care while you are away. Your pets will get all the attention they need throughout the day. Dogs will get regular potty breaks, daily walks, or doggy park plays if preferred. Kittens will be cuddled. I have a big house with plenty of room to roam, and a big yard (unfenced) where I can take your fur baby out for some play (leashed). Your puppy will get regular walks in the yard or a nearby park. I allow all pets on furniture or in bed, or will crate them if preferred. I have 2 cats of my own who have lived with a dog all their lives, and with foster kittens for several months.

“Stefanie was really great with our dog and made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and photos of potty breaks, walks, meals, and how he was doing throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind.

We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

Ronit was so amazing with our pup!! She was very communicative, so kind, and made our anxious dog very comfortable, taking everything at our dog’s pace. She sent lots of cute pictures and videos while we were away which we really appreciated!! Will definitely have her watch Yuki again and we’re really happy to have found her 🥹
Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!
I wish I could give Jenny a 10 Star Rating. She and her family are very loving to the pups and treat them like part of the family. She has a spacious yard for them to play in. It was a home away from home for Lucca. We received pictures and updates at least twice a day and they all showed how happy Lucca was. I highly recommend Jenny as a caregiver.
kumud is a great dog sitter ! she took amazing care of our dog & treated him like family ! she knew we were nervous to leave our dog (first time with a rover sitter in a new state) & she sent us updates every single day; allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying ! thanks kumud !
We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie! She took such great care of our dog and treated them like family. We received regular updates and felt completely comfortable knowing our furry friend was in such loving and responsible hands. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their stay. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love they provided. We would definitely recommend her! 🐶❤️
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.

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.

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.
