âBuster loved his stay with Stephanie! Throughout his stay she was very communicative and sent so many detailed updates about how he was doing and sent so many cute pics to keep me updated. Definitely will be staying with Stephanie again in the future!â


âWe had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.â

âVanessa took excellent care of, Rumi. She provided daily updates with pictures, was always reachable, and very easy to work it. I'd recommend Vanessa for any of your pet sitting needs and will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you again, Vanessaâ


âElizabeth was amazing!! This was our first time leaving Ginger with someone other than family and I can truly say Ginger was treated just like family while she was with Elizabeth. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. That put me and my family at ease to enjoy our vacation knowing Ginger was being beyond taken care of. Thank you again Elizabeth for being available at such short notice!! This was such an awesome first experience and Ginger will be back! Iâm so glad that we found Elizabeth and I wouldnât hesitate to book with her again.â


About: đś NO RESIDENT ANIMALS: Your pup gets to be the dog of the house during their stay. đž ONE FAMILY AT A TIME: No unfamiliar boarding dogs competing for attention. đť WORK-FROM-HOME CARE: Your dog has plenty of company and attention throughout the day. đł FULLY FENCED YARD: Easy, frequent outdoor time in addition to walks. đĄ FREE ROAMING: Your dog lives alongside us, not kenneled or isolated. â¤ď¸ FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: Walks, playtime, couch cuddles, and everyday family life. đ THEIR ROUTINE, OUR PRIORITY: We follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and activity schedule as closely as possible. đ¸ PLENTY OF UPDATES: Photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and comfortable. ⨠PERSONALIZED CARE: Their stay is tailored to their personality, energy level, and preferences. We're a dog-loving family of four with years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Both my husband and I grew up with family dogs, and we had our own beloved dog, Buddha, for many years before he passed away in 2021. He is one of the dogs you see pictured in our uploaded photos (the others are rover dogs weâve hosted). We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. â¤ď¸đž We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here! Our two school-aged kids absolutely love dogs and are excited to be involved with age-appropriate things like supervised play, filling water bowls, and joining us for walks. Mom and Dad are always the primary caregivers and responsible for all aspects of your dog's care and safety. Having been dog owners ourselves, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. We're happy to follow your dog's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and whatever helps them feel comfortable and at home. We also know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection. Because we have children, we only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around kids, reliably house-trained, and have no history of aggression. Whenever possible, we'd also love to do a quick meet-and-greet or video intro before your dog's first stay to make sure we're a great fit for one another. We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. â¤ď¸đś I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while youâre away. During each stay, weâll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. Weâll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care youâd want for them at home.
âLou was well cared for while we were away on vacation. We booked short notice and had no issues, I would definitely use them Lauren and John again. Lou is like a child to me. He came home happy and tired after playing with the kids for a week. Thanks for being awesome and making my trip less stressful!! I would definitely book with them again.â

âMy cat was so very well taken care of by Nazli. Nazli sent pics or videos of Baxter everyday while I was away; she gave him his meds orally in the morning and evening; and she showered Baxter with love and hugs every day. I had a last-minute cat sitter cancellation but was able to find Nazli and connect with her very quickly - she responded so fast and was very accommodating in setting up a time to meet Baxter, and to introduce him to her cat, Kuki. (She responds almost immediately to my texts or Rover messages in general). This was an excellent experience for me and for Baxter - he had a new cat friend to play with and he was just cared for with so much love. Thank you Nazli! I will definitely bring Baxter to you whenever I go out of town for a few weeks. I truly appreciate you and Baxter says meow :)â

âI cannot express enough in words for my gratitude and appreciation for Traci and Jeff. I had used them previously when I went back down south to initiate my move. They were incredible. While moving, adjusting to my new job and getting ready for a vaca I had accidentally forgot to pack Leiaâs soup which she loves to have with her wet food and Traci made a stew for her and fed her daily with homemade food prepared by them. Talk about concierge service and adaptability. They are really at this point Aunt Traci and Uncle Jeff. I love them and would trust Leia with them any day.â

âKatie takes the best care of Honey, our mini golden doodle when we are out of town. She is so caring and responsive, and I know she and sweet Rooney make Honey feel right at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving friend to watch your fur baby!â

âDenise was incredible, our dogs loved her! We went out of the country, so we were nervous to leave them behind, but they loved their time at Denise's house. Our larger dog is dog reactive (except for his brother) and she was able to manage that very well. He also requires medication, which was handled by Denise as well. She updated us with photos during the trips and the dogs didn't want to leave!â

âAlexandra was So sweet and sent me pictures throughout Teddyâs stay which made me feel at ease. She has two other cute small dogs who are well behaved and welcomed my Teddy with open paws đž. Will be using Alexandra again. đЎâ

âMarti had a lovely extended stay with Meg while we traveled. We were confident that she was safe, sound and happy and know that both Marti and Meg are looking forward to their next visit together in the not-too-distant future!â

âFantastic experience! They took amazing care of Trey and kept me updated with great communication and photos. Trey seemed happy, comfortable and well cared for when I returned. I will definitely book again.â

I had such a great experience with Angela! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, especially since I needed someone to care for Benji at the last minute. From the moment we had our meet and greet, she made Benji feel comfortable and right at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated with pictures and made sure I knew he was doing well. Iâm so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my baby boy! I already have her booked again for later this year and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!!!

Lauren and Derrick were the absolute best. I felt very comfortable with them when I went to meet them for the meet and greet before my dogs stay. Their house was clean their pets were well mannered and friendly and they sent me many pictures during my dogs stay. they are true pet lovers and I would recommend them over and over. They will be my first option anytime I am looking for pet boarding.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Timbuctoo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Timbuctoo 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 Timbuctoo.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Timbuctoo. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Timbuctoo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
