“Amy was fantastic with our Goldendoodle. She was extremely responsive, provided reassuring daily updates/ pics and was so compassionate with our older pup. I am SO very grateful to have found her! I recommend her highly to anyone looking for someone that will, no doubt, make your pet feel right at home. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks, Amy!”
“Nyema took really good care of my furry buddy Corky for a whole week. We did a meet and greet before my scheduled trip. Each day while I was away she sent a picture for me to see he was ok. She was even concerned that he wasn’t drinking any water or eating much the first couple days. After a couple days he adjusted and started to drink and show her his fun personality. He interacted with little ones too and played with them. I was in another state working but was never worried about him being away from me for so many days. I picked him up and he was happy. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“John is amazing. It was Nala’s first time around other dogs and first time at any one else’s home so I was very nervous. John was patient with Nala throughout her stay. He gave me helpful tips to do with her. He also sent photos to ease my mind while away. I definitely recommend and I look forward to Nala becoming one of his regulars. Thank you again John!”
“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.”
“I was very nervous about Bean staying with someone new especially when there would be other dogs in the house. I asked Kristen a million questions and she answered them all with grace. She sent me multiple updates a day and Bean was having a grand ol time! She paid attention to the instructions provided and even asked before giving her specific treats. My mind was put at ease while I was away knowing Bean was in good hands!”
“This was our second time having Monica and Conrad watch Heron, our 6 month old puppy. This couple is so wonderful, they send pics every evening and take great care of our puppy. Heron LOVES playing with Pongo. Thank you as we know our furry baby is well taken care of.”
“My dogs were well taken care of and I got a bunch of pictures while my babies were in their care. Their kids wore my dogs out which I am sure made their job a lot easier as my dogs are very hard to wear out!”
“Monica has watched our dog several times. Each time we have been very pleased with her care. Consequently our 5 star rating is for consistent wonderful care over multiple stays.”
“Kristin always provides updates on our elderly girl, Mya. She gives Mya meds when needed. And she tries hard to find ways to get our picky girl to eat her food. We can relax while Mya is in Kristin’s care know she is a great caretaker!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”
“Pam and Jay did such an awesome job with our 17 yr. old dog. They were loving and patience with her. I will use them again if needed and would highly recommend them.”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kara. This was our first time boarding with her and it was the best experience. She was responsive and kind! We met prior to my dog boarding with her and he loved her and her dogs. During his stay, she provided daily updates even with pictures which was a nice touch and she was very responsive if I messaged her. My dog was so happy to be there and seems like he felt at home which was important to me. When I picked him up, he was so tired from all the playing! Thank you so much Kara! Oliver would love to stay with you again.”
“Ryan was very communicative throughout the whole stay, he sent photos and videos, and my dog had so much fun! definitely recommend. it’s hard leaving your dogs and especially if you don’t always have many options of people you know personally to watch them, so when you come across someone with a dog to play with yours, a big yard, and keeps you in the loop it’s definitely a win.”
“While I was on vacation for 9 days my dog Max was in good hands with Marisa and her dog Maya. Marisa sent me daily pictures of Max and kept me abreast of Max's daily activities. I will definitely use Marisa again and I highly recommend Marisa she is great with dogs 🙂”
“Kateri took great care of Yeti and he came back after a long weekend exhausted from all of the fun he had! Kateri sent plenty of pictures of Yeti playing throughout the weekend which we really appreciated. We would definitely let Kateri watch Yeti again if we lived in the area!”
“Annette and Martin were perfect. Scrappy felt so comfortable in their house during the meet & greet that he just laid down and snoozed while we chatted. Scrappy instantly liked them both and even bared his tummy to Martin for lots of petting. The daily photos and videos in their Facebook page was the best antidote to ease my mind. It was nice to see the dogs playing around their huge backyard. It was also nice to see that the dogs were allowed free range to most of their house. I highly recommend them!”
“Kevin loved our puppy, Sunny, like one of his own. It was her first time away from us, and he sent lots of update pictures showing her having a great time with Zeke and the other dogs he was watching. Will definitely use Kevin again!”
“This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!”

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.
94% of sitters in Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater 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 Sweetwater.
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 Sweetwater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Sweetwater 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.
