“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”
“This was our first time boarding our senior dog and I could not be happier! I was very worried about boarding him as he can be anxious and shy. The care he received staying with Mariah was beyond outstanding! I received so many updates about my dog and lots of photos. It put us at complete ease during our vacation to see our dog having so much fun. You can tell that Mariah truly loves animals and what she does. I will be using only her when I am in the area!”
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about my pet sitters! They were so incredibly heartwarming and welcoming to my dog, Brooklyn, right from the start. They truly took care of her like she was their own, and that made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The daily pictures and updates they sent were fantastic, and it was clear Brooklyn was having a blast. They even gave her extra toys and showered her with the utmost love. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my dog, and I appreciate them so much!”
“Marci watched our Nova Bean for our wedding weekend and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with her care. Nova was in great hands and she made sure he was clean & ready to go to walk down the aisle! She updated us with images all weekend and kept us in the loop on how he was doing. Marci made nova feel right at home and even got him to eat his medicine!! If you need a reliable and wonderful dog sitter, Marci is your perfect person!!”
“Tyler took great care of Tucker while we were spending time with family at the shore. Tucker ran around the yard, swam in the pool and hung out with Tyler's dogs. He was certainly tired at the end of his visit. I would recommend Tyler for others who are looking for a reliable and fun dog sitter.”
“Dogs came back in excellent condition. Extra food and treats were returned. Fenced yard and friendly dogs in the home. Andrew kept us posted while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
“This was our pup, Isla’s, first time boarding and Jared took excellent care of her. When we met Jared at our meet and greet, we could immediately tell that he loves dogs and would be a responsible and caring sitter. The daily photos he sent showed she felt right at home and was having such a good time that we were afraid she would not want to come home back home. We will definitely book with Jared again and know that Isla will happily run in in the door and make herself at home! Thanks Jared and family for making Isla’s first boarding experience such a positive one!”
“Ashlee was great! She sent me lots of updates and pictures. I know she took really good care of Teddy! Highly recommend and definitely would like to book again in the future. Thanks again!”
“Kristen is a dog/puppy expert. She embraced Bono right away and made him part of her human and dog family. He had so much fun there. She sent me daily updates and let me know he was doing great. It was our first time leaving him so we were nervous, but he was well cared for and had a great time. Thanks for loving him all weekend!”
“Michelle was great! She was very responsive and accommodating(we had to go to a concert, and was still able to pick him up after)! Our little guy was well taken care of and had a great time! Will definitely reach out to her again when in the area!”

“Barb is the perfect sitter. She makes both owner and pet feel completely comfortable with the separation. She takes everything into consideration including separation anxiety, health and age needs, and comfort. Her pups are amazing friends for your pet to spend time with. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Strathmere home-away-from-home, 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 Strathmere.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Strathmere 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 , 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 .
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.
