“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Thank you Michael for babysitting Ewok and making our first experience good! Ewok is a very sensitive dog that can be difficult for anyone to babysit him, even grandma. We told Michael of his troubles and he was more than accommodating. He answered me back quickly as I was worried. He lives in a fenced in area and a beautiful neighborhood . He met us outside and was very personable. i highly recommend .”
“Vanessa is the real deal! My puppy has so much fun when she spends the day with Vanessa and she absolutely crashes out for hours when she gets home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Dante had a great afternoon with Lisa and Timothy and their family! This was my first time booking on Rover, and it was an extremely user friendly and seamless experience! Thank you Lisa and Timothy for taking great care of Dante and opening your home to our pup! Look forward to our next booking!!”
“Patricia is wonderful, she accommodated our need for a short midday stay and was great with our 2 dogs. We would definitely recommend and book with Patricia again.”
“We are beyond grateful to have found Kristen to care for our beagle, Annie! She had an incredible week filled with fun, and absolutely loved playing with Piper all week. We can’t recommend Kristen highly enough!”
“Loved Kateri and her awesome back yard! My one dog is anxious and doesn’t like a lot of people so her fenced in yard was appealing to me. Easy to just let her in and out and not have to deal with her grumpiness (my dog.. not Kateri) She kept me updated though the day and let me know the anxious one warmed up to her towards the end of the stay. I can’t wait to take my 2 dogs to her again and have a nice little beach day to myself! If was exactly what I needed. And on kind of a short notice too.. she was very flexible. Thank you again , Kateri! Bamma and Archee say hello! And Thank you too!”
About: With hands-on experience from working at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m active, strong, and trained in reading animal body language to ensure safe, patient care. I love providing enrichment and helping nervous pets feel calm and secure. As a devoted pet parent to one dog and two cats, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I currently work from home, so my availability is wide open! I love having furry company during the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Morning, afternoon, or evening — I’m flexible and always happy to make time for extra belly rubs or walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to learn every detail that matters — from quirks and favorite toys to the words and calls they respond to best. I ask plenty of questions upfront so I can follow their routine exactly, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. I respect each pet’s personality, whether that means lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or both. I also treat every home with the same care and respect as my own, and I provide regular updates so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and cared for.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with small pocket pets (rabbits) and birds. As an adult I have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and alpacas - all of which live with me on my small farm. I have experience with giant breed dogs and higher energy dogs. I also know how and am comfortable giving medications. I have worked in the animal industry for the last 10 years. Ranging from boarding facilities for dogs and cats to veterinary offices. I also am currently volunteering with my therapy dog and we visit hospitals and schools. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so my pets are with me all day. I take the dogs out for daily walks as well as other activities. I also have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. I have a 1-acre fenced in yard for my babies (and yours!) to play in. All of my dogs are friendly and love to play with new friends. I also have cats (strictly indoor), horses, alpacas, and chickens on the property. New friends must be good with all animals as well as children if they are staying in the house. Children and other pets will never be left unsupervised with your fur baby. If I come to your home for care for your fur baby they will be spoiled with lots of attention and love
“Great and I intend to return! Our fur babies got along very well. She took very good care of mine even though hers didn't feel that well. He was still feeling his trip to the vet. I highly recommend!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sweetwater commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 537 sitters in Sweetwater, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
