About: What sets me apart is the love, attention, and personalized care I give every pet. I am home full-time, so your dog is never left unsupervised and I’m available throughout the day for frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, and medication as needed. I also welcome senior dogs and dogs with anxiety, I understand that they may need a little extra patience and care. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, cuddles, and a safe, comfortable home away from home. I’m home full-time and available 7 days a week, anytime, so I am always here with your pet. They’ll get plenty of potty breaks, love, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a clean, smoke-free, comfortable home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I take every safety precaution to keep everyone happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I provide a loving, attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I communicate well with pet parents to provide plenty of photos and updates during their stay.
“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”
“Debra and Vic and amazing. I loved receiving photos every day while we were away. Our rescue dog Oliver had a wonderful time. Such a great time he’s been sulking since he came home. I know he’s already looking forward to his next stay!”
“Monica was a great person very caring very reliable with my kitten. I appreciated how she updated me with pictures and also helpful with ideas to take care of my kitten. I highly recommend her and family!”
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“Trista was great and my dog had a wonderful visit. I got pictures so I could tell she was happy while I was away and she was happy when I picked her up. Trista kept me informed and I could tell my dog was in good hands.”
“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”
“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“Michael was the very best caregiver for Stanley. He treated Stanley as if he were his own and we certainly would use Michael on future visits whether it be a day trip or long vacation. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving caregiver for your pet, look no further. We couldn’t be happier with his caring nature.”
“Thank you Jillian and Andrew for taking care of our 8 month old puppy overnight! It was his first time sleeping out of our apartment, and we are happy that you were so flexible and caring. We loved receiving pictures of him while we were gone!”
“So thankful to have found someone for our Keira. Morgan responded quickly for a short notice weekend trip and was quick to respond to my inquiries while we were gone as to how Keira was doing. We usually use a local kennel but have found that she comes home sad. She needs a lot of human interaction. Without her pack, she gets lonely. She came home much happier this time. Morgan and her family obviously made Keira feel very at home.”
“Isabella, a was very attentive to Koa! He does not get along with people but he was cared for and pampered enough that he came out of his shell. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“This was the best dog sitting experience we have ever had, by far!! Jake and Mischa went above and beyond anything we could have expected, and took great care of our pup. We have a Saint Bernard who can be a bit much for some, but Jake and Mischa were amazing with him! They also put our minds at ease with how well they handled his food allergies and medicine. Finally, they were great with sending pictures/videos and keeping us updated. Archie can’t wait to go back and play with his buddy Chopper!”
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.
