“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”
“Jesus was fantastic, from start to finish!! Picked up our dog at the last minute, sent us photos/videos of our dog every day, responsive to our questions, we will hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking care of our puppy. Happy to hire you the next time. Thank you thank you for caring for our sweet dog. Five stars!!!!!”
“Stephanie and Corey were wonderful with our puppy, Max. They responded quickly to our inquiry and all was settled literally within minutes. Max took to them, and their dogs, quickly! They regularly sent photos and updates while we were away. Each time we were glad to see how happy and well taken care of Max was ☺️. We hope to book them again and again!”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Julia was amazing. She was warm, compasionate and loving to my senior pup. She was accomodating when I had to change the drop off date, and treated Lucy as one of her own. She sent photos frequently, which I loved. Lucy was calm and happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely use Julia again. Thank you, Julia.”
“Jada was amazing! She took great care of my dog and provided photos and updates daily. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book with Jada again! 🐶❤️”
“Riti was amazing with Maggie! Riti's dog Sky is adorable and very friendly. We loved hearing about Maggie and Sky's adventures. They became quick buddies. Riti sent lots of a pics and was always quick to respond to any texts. Maggie came home happy and looking great. Thanks Riti!”
“Naomi was amazing! She was so communicative, comforting, and kind. She was ON TOP of things in every single way. I needed a sitter last minute about a week out from my family vacation. I was scrambling to find someone on rover and Naomi was available and excited to watch Genevieve! On top of that, Genny had a rough grooming appt a few days before dropoff, and got a corneal ulcer in which she would have to take eye drops and pain meds. Naomi without question agreed to helping administer them and make her comfortable. You can imagine how worried I was as a dog mom, leaving her with someone new and with a medical issue! Naomi made me feel so at peace leaving Genny with her. She's truly created a doggy haven at her place, with full range for them to hang out inside and out. I am so thankful I found her when I did, and that Genny had such a wonderful time! She was whining when we picked her up, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend Naomi many times over and would give her more than 5 stars if I could!”
“This is the 2nd time Kun and his wife watched over Thor, and Thor never wants to leave. He had so much fun with them and their puppy Som. Thank you for always taking such great care of Thor and for always being incredible communicators!”
“I highly recommend this family! They took exceptional care of my dog and treated her as if she were part of their own family. While I was away, they consistently sent daily photo updates, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable she was in their care. They are a warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable family who clearly love animals. It was evident that they paid close attention to her needs, routine, and comfort. Knowing she was in such a caring and attentive environment made being away much easier. I would absolutely trust them again and confidently recommend them to anyone looking for responsible and compassionate pet caregivers.”
“Tania is the best sitter I used ever. Respond in minutes and be very detailed on my pups' situations and updates. Sending pics and updates multiple times a day. And all my pups look very very happy back home. I can tell she doing this with all her love and not just seeing this as a work. I will 100% lock she as my sitter while I'm away. And would recommend others for sure.”
“Raymond and his family were fantastic with our puppy golden doodle. He provided daily updates and pictures and went above and beyond with incorporating the pup into their family activities and routine. We were nervous to leave our boy for the first time, but the experience with Raymond and family could not have been better”
“Thank you, Beautifull, for taking such incredible care of my dogs! I am forever grateful for everything you did while I was away. She cared for my two senior dogs for an entire week and kept me updated every step of the way. She sent me photos during their walks and regularly checked in with updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Whenever anything came up, she let me know right away. Since my dogs are seniors, they experienced some anxiety being away from home and even had a little stomach upset, which can happen when they’re stressed. She handled everything with so much patience, care, and compassion, and made sure I was informed throughout the entire stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them like they were her own. Knowing they were in such loving hands allowed me to truly enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about them. I trust her completely and will absolutely book with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, compassionate, and truly loves animals, I cannot recommend her enough. Your pets will be in amazing hands!”
“Cathy took amazing care of my dog Buddy who will turn 18 years old In 2 weeks. I can relax on vacation knowing he is in such good care. Cathy had 2 other nice dogs for Buddy to play with in addition to her 2 Friendly little dogs. I know he had a great time at her house and he is So happy to see her each time he goes to her home.”
“Jefra watched Finnegan while my mom and I went out for a day trip and she was so wonderful! Ryan was out traveling, but Jefra took a beautiful portrait of Finnegan and he made friends on walks and with the neighbor across the hall! He was very happy when we picked him up. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”

We had a wonderful experience with Rhinesca watching our 3 year old dachshund! We did a meet and greet prior and felt like it was a good fit. During her overnight, we got photos and she was very responsive when I texted her. Highly recommend, will be rebooking in the future!!
Stephanie is a real pro. I’ve never required my dogs to be cared and housed before, so I was a bit apprehensive at first. However, when we required Sandy to be looked after for a few days, I found Stephanie, and she is very responsive. She addressed all of my concerns and questions, it was a seamless and informative process. Stephanie was transparent with everything, and gave real-time updates with beautiful photos. The bonus is that her dogs and family made Sandy happy and loved, which cancelled any worries I may have had. We will definitely choose Stephanie should the need arise. Highly recommended.
I just wanted to thank you for taking such excellent care of Catch these past three nights. You went above and beyond — keeping us updated, sending pictures, giving his medicine on time, and treating him with real care and patience. Being able to add on grooming was super helpful. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and you truly did. We appreciate you more than you know. Thank you again for everything.
Lisa took amazing care of my dog for 8 nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She treated him like he was her own, made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and kept me updated while I was away. Coming home to a happy, healthy dog gave me so much peace of mind. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Milo!
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!

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 Tenafly 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 Tenafly 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 Tenafly.
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 Tenafly. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 Tenafly 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.
