“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Mariah was fantastic with our pup !! She kept in touch and sent adorable pictures to us. I think our little girl almost didn’t want to leave with us because she was having to much fun and received such love from Mariah !!!”
“Chloe had a great weekend with Denise! She loved watching squirrels in her beautiful back yard! Denise sent regular updates and photos! It was Chloe’s first stay with Denise and we were more than happy!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Penny’s stay! From start to finish, she was communicative and kept us updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, so we always knew Penny was in good hands. Penny came back happy, relaxed, and clearly entertained—she even seemed to have had her own little vacation! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Penny received and highly recommend Janet’s services to any pet parent. We will definitely be booking again!”
“I had a great experience with Rebecca. My dog seemed to have enjoyed her stay. I even received pictures throughout my dog’s stay! I would book with Rebecca again.”

“How can I find the right words to describe a literal angel on earth?? As someone with no family or anyone trusted nearby to watch my newly rescued Chihuahua with separation anxiety (along with some anxiety myself 😅), Pat not only took the time to understand my baby’s needs, but also to make ME feel comfortable. After my dog’s 3-day stay with Pat, I consider her to be a part of our little family. The first day was a rocky with my dog’s anxiety and sadness over me leaving her for the first time, but Pat was incredibly kind and patient, and gave her exactly what she needed to be comfortable. The next day, my girl was loving on Pat like she’s known her her entire life— and vice versa! Pat took her on walks, spoiled her with turkey and pup cups (I told her beforehand this was okay!), and kept me updated every chance she could with pictures and the CUTEST videos. I felt like my baby was completely safe and in the BEST hands… for someone like me, safety hasn’t always come easily; so this meant the world to me. Would I recommend Pat to anyone who is obsessed with their dog? A million times YES. However, I selfishly don’t want to because my dog and I want her all to ourselves! LOL. Seriously though, your dog will be safe, love, and spoiled beyond belief with Pat. Thank you for being an absolute GODSEND to us. 🤎🐾”

“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.”
“Jason and Lauren were excellent! They took Jaxson on short notice so I could tend to a family emergency. Jaxson gets daily insulin shots and was on a couple types of eye drops. I appreciated them checking in with updates on how his medication administration went and how Jaxson was acclimating in their home. They also have an amazing back yard that’s any pup’s dream! I look forward to booking with them 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!”
“Angela was amazing , and took really good care of my xtra large dog . I’m grateful to have found her last minute and she really helped me out where others wouldn’t. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family . I would definitely use her again if she was willing. Angela is definitely an asset to the rover community!!!”
“Patricia took very good care of our doggie that boarded with her. We were lucky to find her on a short notice and lucky that we felt immediately reassured that he would be in good hands. An added bonus was her own sweet and happy dog who became a buddy to ours quickly. I recommend Patricia to anyone looking for a home away from home for their canine family members.”
“Jared was fantastic! He took the best care of Travis while we were away, sending daily pictures and videos! He got to play in their yard whenever he wanted to and was taken on loads of walks too! Can’t thank you enough!”
“Karrie sent me so many pictures, I loved it. She was open and honest to any incidents that happened good or bad, Gray tends to get herself into a few messes and I was notified of them which made me feel at ease and able to trust Karrie. Gray was living the life at her stay. Thank you again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is that I truly understand dogs because I’m a dog parent myself. I currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Mini Dachshund, so I’m experienced with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pets like family, and that’s exactly how I care for every dog in my home. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

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.
96% of sitters in Swainton 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 Swainton 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 Swainton.
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 Swainton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Swainton 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.
