“Jenny is an amazing dog sitter. I received communication and photos throughout each day. Our Shiba Inu was very well cared for by Jenny and her husband. I would highly recommend Jenny!”
“Sol comes highly recommended by us! This was our first time using a sitter and Sol made us feel so at ease leaving our fur baby. She stayed in touch throughout the day, made sure she was comfortable with a set up ready for our arrival - food, litter, treats, etc. Sol was very flexible and understanding as we were moving and had to adjust our schedule some.”
“Alison is a wonderful pet sitter! She provided so many pictures and updates- I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for an extended trip. She took excellent care of her.”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”

“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”
“Stephanie was great - we did a meet and greet and then had our kiddos with her for the weekend. They came back happy and tired from all the fun. She was communicative and super friendly. Will absolutely book her again. Thanks Stephanie!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kara. This was our first time boarding with her and it was the best experience. She was responsive and kind! We met prior to my dog boarding with her and he loved her and her dogs. During his stay, she provided daily updates even with pictures which was a nice touch and she was very responsive if I messaged her. My dog was so happy to be there and seems like he felt at home which was important to me. When I picked him up, he was so tired from all the playing! Thank you so much Kara! Oliver would love to stay with you again.”

When it comes to experience with pets, I have had 2 small dogs that I grew up with, which now I have to go a visit since I no longer live with them:( I’ve always felt very passionate about animals and I’m ready to make caring for them and helping others apart of my everyday life! Having that said, I have been a medical assistant for the past 5 years, although I am currently not working at the moment so needless to say I’m very flexible!

All of my interactions with Megan and family have been extremely positive - I really appreciate the responsiveness and the offer for a meet and greet last week! Thank you guys so much for hosting her and special shout out to Bonnie for being such a calm and kind big golden retriever sis :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hali as a dog sitter. The communication was great from the beginning and was easy and reassuring. She took great care of Ruby and even watched her as a 5 month old puppy. She sent pictures and videos of Ruby enjoying her time outside in her fenced in yard. She responded quickly to my check ins and made me feel comfortable leaving her. Ruby was happy and calm when we picked her up and I would highly recommend Hali as your dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 we’ve always been a dog family. Even now at the age I am we still have dogs we walk them, take them outside every couple hours and feed them twice a day I have a passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I make time every day to feed pets, provide fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I keep a consistent schedule and can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra walks, medication, or sticking to their normal feeding schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I provide updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for during their time away.
“Laurie was wonderful with my dog Zoey. She was so sweet and nurturing with her from the very first time we met her. She gave me daily updates with photos, easing my mind while I was away. Zoey was treated as part of their family, and was happy. I am so happy that I found Laurie to care for Zoey, because I can go away knowing that she is well taken care of. Thank you so much Laurie, you're the best!”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog at her place. She followed instructions, kept me updated, and even made my dog rice to encourage her to eat. Her dog was very friendly with my nervous greyhound. They even played together in Cynthia’s back patio.”

Hi, Stacey and Anthony, both took well care of Nando, Nando is a French Shepard 80lbs, and not neutered, gets along with females, not so much with males or cats... they have both. No issues or problems and pictures to see him discovering the fenced in yard. I look forward to using them again in the near future... Thank you!
I am very happy that my husband and I decided to leave our baby Thor with Danielle. We could tell by the numerous pictures she sent us, that Thor was well taken care of, and Really enjoyed being there. Especially since he found a new best bud in Danielle's dog. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking to board their dog.
Very satisfied with Melissa! She was very responsive and patient with my dog. She has a really nice big yard, which I loved! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and even kept my dog an extra day due to a change in my schedule. I’m very grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
Would trust Amber with June again in a heartbeat! June is a recent shelter rescue, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone new, but I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She took wonderful care of June the whole time, sent updates and photos so I never had to worry, and clearly put in the effort to help June feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. You can tell she’s more of a dog person than a people person, but in the best way possible because June warmed up to her fairly quickly and seemed so relaxed and happy to stay with Amber. June got along great with her animals. Great communication from start to finish, and she gave so much love to my girl.
Probably our fourth stay with Annette and Martin. They are fantastic! Our very active, friendly spaniel loves them and we get pictures and reels that show us just how comfortable and happy he is. Pretty sure he gets so much attention he thinks he's on vacation. I can't see why would use anyone else.
Dana was Odin’s first time staying overnight somewhere that wasn’t home; and he LOVED it. He was obviously well cared for and tended to while we were gone. Dana sent an abundance of pictures and videos of him to keep us updated. Dana’s family, house and yard is well suited for dogs of all ages and sizes.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford.
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 Stratford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Stratford 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.
