About: I live with two medium sized mutts and two fluffy orange cats, and until just recently, a fish and a snake. I have decades of experience caring for animals of all kinds, from puppies and kittens to seniors pets and those with illness and special needs. I am skilled with giving meds, including oral meds, eye drops and insulin injections, to both cats and dogs, and can usually trim a pet nails, if needed. I have engaged in formal, professional obedience training with own my dogs and would be happy to use what i learned to help reinforce some basic training with your dog(s) as well! I own a home-based retail business, but have a fairly flexible schedule. Let me know when you need services and I can usually fit it in to my day or evening. I listen carefully and will follow each client's instructions and preferences, and can reinforce any training the pet is being given. I would care for your pet as if they were my own.
“This was my first time ever leaving my 7 month old puppy so I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Joanne put my mind at ease from the beginning and was WONDERFUL! Willow was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I even received daily updates with pictures which I looked forward to receiving. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. THANK YOU Joanne for taking such good care of my Willow!”
“Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.”
About: I’ve always gown up with dogs and I have plenty of experience. I’m always happy to help when needed. I can also provided boarding as needed. I’m currently working full time but I can return home during the day for works and I am free all weekends. Scheduling may vary as needed. I can follow set schedules and ask questions when needed. I do prefer for houses to have cameras so all parties involved are aware of all activity that goes on in the home.
“Jennifer and her husband Shawn, took care of our Scooby for two nights. That was the first time we left him for our out-of-state vacation. We are so comfortable leaving Scooby. They sent us pictures and videos of him from time to time. At first, we have guilt feeling leaving him, but Jennifer gave us the security that he is taking good care of our dog. I recommended Rover to all my friends with pet-dog. Such a pleasant experience using the service.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone for the first time and Pardeep put our fears to rest with frequent updates and pictures. We could see that he was having a great time and getting lots of love and attention. We are so lucky to have connected with Pardeep and will absolutely be contacting him the next time we go away!”
“Our 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!”
“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”
“Julia was an amazing dog sitter! She was communicative and gave us frequent updates and pictures. She treated our pup like her own and we’d definitely love to work with her again. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
“I can't say enough good things about Anoti! She and her family welcomed Dante with open arms and really made him feel at home. Dante is very high-energy, and Anoti accommodated nicely with plenty of long walks. I could see from the photos how much fun Dante was having and how much love he was getting. I would definitely seek out Anoti for our future boarding needs!”
“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Nico was terrific. Highly recommend! He watched our two dogs over the weekend and did an amazing job transitioning them to his home. Our little guy George suffers from anxiety, but he settled right into the new environment without any issues. Kept us informed throughout the weekend with updates and pics. Thanks!”
“We have left Roco with James several times now and he is a favorite. I love that he takes only one dog each time, since it means he is providing full attention to your dog, and there is less risk of accidents. Roco is always happy to see him (as soon as we drive into his area) and is calm when I pick him up. I can tell he loves to stay with James!! No anxiety, no rush to get in the car. Just perfect!! Also we value James flexibility: we had flights changed and he accommodated the extra time without any issue.”

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 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 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
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, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
