“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria.

About: I am a caring, patient, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and can provide reliable feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic daily care. I am also comfortable being patient with shy or anxious pets and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and other needs to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they have access to fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident and at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.

Leny took absolutely the best care of my little pal....during the stay she kept me informed of his wellbeing through texting,, video and photographs. I was way at a conference and it was so awarding seeing pictures and updates throughout the day. I will most definitely ask leny to take care of Maurice again.
I can’t express how grateful I am for Yvette! She cares for Rajah like he is her own and makes sure i’m at ease while i’m away. She is the only sitter I trust with him when i’m gone for extended periods of time. She truly cares for him and makes sure i’m constantly updated with pictures and videos 🥰 thank you so much again Yvette! You are truly the best!!! ❤️
Amanda was absolutely wonderful!!! She took care of our dog with so much care, kindness, and love. She was very communicative throughout our time away, and we loved receiving her frequent updates and pictures of our dog. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for she was while we were on vacation. We could tell she was in very good hands, and Amanda made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. We would absolutely choose her again without a doubt and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pet 🤗❤️
Sindy is a wonderful sitter! This was my second time booking with her, and once again she took such great care of Frankie. I loved getting updates with pictures and videos throughout the week, it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frankie always comes home clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
We left our 9 year old dog with Anu for an extended stay and are very pleased with the care she took of him. She provided him love and play and he soon settled in, becoming comfortable with her and her family. She kept us informed of his daly moods and routine, providing regular updates with pictures. She was also very quick and responsive to our queries. We highly recommend Anu and will definitely be using her services again.
Mohita was fabulous right from the meet and greet. She made sure My dog was totally comfortable at her place and that included the lovely dog coco. It was so great to see pictures and videos of my dog having fun on his own little vacation at her place. She took great care and was very supportive throughout my dogs stay. So glad to have found Mohita. 💕

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Spotswood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Spotswood home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Spotswood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spotswood. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Spotswood 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
