I know Bean us in good hands with her and her family. She kept me updated and responded quickly. She sent me pictures of my happy fellow. I couldn't be more pleased with her services.”
“Steven is an exceptional dog sitter! He and his wife took care of my Dito, with love, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was top-notch, and he kept me updated on Dito's adventures. Dito was happy, healthy, and well-cared for, and that's all thanks to Steven's dedication. He's trustworthy, reliable, and truly a dog lover. If you need a dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, look no further than Steven. 5 stars and a big paws up from Dito.”
“Chris was great with my dogs, Moose & Pac! He shared daily updates with photos, which was greatly appreciated! His fenced in backyard was a major plus for us, and his dog, bunker, was great with my large breed dogs. We will gladly be going back to Chris for any future dog sitting needs!!”
“Let me start by saying, Nina is amazing. From first contact on Rover, to me just picking up my pup, it was professional and seamless. Stayed in contact with me consistently and made me feel extremely comfortable. She was also very thorough and asking me any pertinent information about my dog that could be important. Now we can talk about the actual visit. She has an amazing yard fenced in with all the amenities a pet would ever need. Her personal interaction with my dog was as if it was her own. You can tell she loves what she does. The end result, I think my dog came home happier than when I left him. Lol. All kidding aside, I would recommend Nina to the entire Rover community. If you’re ever in the tri-state area, and you need a pet babysitter, look no further than Nina. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. I will definitely use them again. 👍👍👍”
“Cosmo had a wonderful time with Sriram and his family. We got regular updates including photos. They were very flexible to accommodate all our requests to keep him and us at ease. We will certainly send Cosmo back to them whenever we need boarding for him. Highly recommend them.”

“So accommodating and friendly. This was our first time boarding, and pretty instantly we knew our pup was in good hands! The pictures were so appreciated, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care our dog was given.”
“Our dog Penny had a wonderful stay with Debbie. She has a beautiful property and home, and upon receiving photos and videos, it was evident Penny felt very comfortable there. Debbie was an excellent communicator and gave us updates each day which was very reassuring. We are very grateful to have found her!”
“Trista was absolutely amazing with Kobe! 🐾❤️ We were away for 5 days, and from the moment we dropped Kobe off, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Trista was caring, attentive, and treated Kobe like he was her own. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kobe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone, but Trista made the entire experience stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Thank you, Trista, for taking such great care of our Kobe! We will definitely be booking with you again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Joe and his family took exceptional care of our two dogs! Communication was excellent from when we first reached out, through Apache and Loki's stay at their wonderful home. Joe's family was attentive to our dogs' needs, and made them feel right at home. They were great with sending pictures at various points throughout the day as well! 100% would book with this wonderful family again!”
“Isabella was great. I booked my two dogs last minute and she was so accommodating and communicative. She sent pictures and updates regularly and always let me know what was going on. The dogs loved her and we will be using her again!”
“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”
“Mylene was wonderful with our puppy! She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. We felt completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.
“Jake and Mischa were our last-minute life savers! When our plans fell through for our dog sitters for our wedding, they stepped in! What an AMAZING pair they are. They daily pictures throughout the day of River and Maverick and made sure we were at ease. They were in amazing hands! Even better—they offered a drop off and pick up service. Id rate them One million stars if I could! Repeat customers for sure!”
“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swartswood
I had scheduled my vet recommended employee for pet sitting. The first time, she didn't show up, and I was on a train to NYC. Months later, again with advance notice, she couldn't stop by for a senior dog update. Enter Bobby! Willing to travel from NJ, do a paid meet and greet because there are four mini dachshunds. Immediate pick up on the quirks with each around meals. The age range from 15 to 2 years old. All on short notice. Everything positive from the dogs' reviews. And he was able to do it again when another doctor's office finally got back to me. If he can do all of this, why are you still scrolling through pet care options when you can choose Bobby/Robert?
Katie is very knowledgeable and sweet and her place is amazing! The dogs have a beautiful yard that is lit up at night and a very large clean room with a full size bed and couch. I had planned to board my dogs at a local kennel but after the "meet & greet" I knew this was a better option and all my worries about boarding disappeared. The updates and pictures were so helpful to alleviate any worry or anxiety I had when I left my pups. I was able to pick up my dogs late in the evening when I arrived home, rather than be confined to kennel business hours. While the dogs were very excited to see me, they did not try to bolt out of the gate; they went into their room and jumped back on the bed. I knew by this reaction they were not stressed by being there. One of my dogs is a little shy and was barking at Katie during the "meet & greet." Katie was able to pet her by the end of the stay and the barking had stopped. This is a great place and I definitely recommend it!

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 Swartswood 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 Swartswood.
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.
You and your Swartswood 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.
