“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“Kelley was a great sitter and allowed us to book the last minute, only a couple days prior. She was very attentive and quickly responded to messages. Our German Shepherd loved her stay at Kelley's place. The yard is more than spacious, and our dog loved playing and running around there. She had her own room with a dog bed and a water fountain, and was provided with play time and all the care she needed. Highly recommended, and will definitely use Kelley's services anytime in the future.”
“This was the 1st time we had our dog stay with Lori and it was a great experience. She was easy to work with and our dog was well taken care of. We will certainly use Lori in the future to take care of our sweet puppy.”
“My dog had an awesome time with Kateri and the rest of the pups! Very flexible and easy to work with, and Niko had so much fun!! Fenced backyard was a huge plus and I felt at ease leaving Niko with her!”
“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was wonderful with my Peppy! Snuggles, car ride, art work, and plenty of love by the family! Lisa really is awesome and very easy going to deal with. Your pet would be privileged and spoiled to be in her care :) Thanks again!!!”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”

“Andrew was absolutely perfect. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their care and behaviour.

“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pup, Swift! After having our normal boarding facility cancel on us due to overbooking before a vacation, I quickly visited rover to see if I could find a suitable match for Swift. Kate responded in about 10 minutes and accepted the booking, a true life saver! Swift loved his time at Kate’s beautiful home. He has been pooped since you pickup and I know he truly got the attention and exercise that he needs. Kate sent tons of pictures which really eased my mind while I was on vacation. Thank you again Kate! We will be back.”
“Best and most caring family!!! They took such good care of Beau. They sent so many pics and videos! I don’t think he wanted to leave! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation!”

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.
97% of sitters in Strathmere 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 Strathmere 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 Strathmere.
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 Strathmere. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 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.
