“This was our first time leaving Pete with Monica & Kelvin. I was assured he was being well cared for, and was updated with photos of him being snuggled and playing in the yard.”
“Lieb and his family provided an amazing stay for Chloe and Azora. From thr beginning, I was provided with pictures and videos numerous times during the day. Chloe and Azora were welcomed in their homes and allowed to enjoy their beautiful property as their home away from home. Chloe typically experiences stress when away and when I picked her up she eas happy and well adjusted. Lieb toom my request days before the holiday and I can't say enough about how much I appreciate the wonderful experience as an owner. I highly recommend Lieb for any need Dog care needs. His family is wonderful and the care was outstanding!”
“Robert did a great job with our pups! He took them on lots of adventures, gave them plenty of opportunity to play outside in the yard, and kept us updated with pictures, etc. Also, he was so kind and flexible when our flight back home got delayed! We will definitely be using him again when we go out of town.”
“Cathy took great care of our dog Oliver for a weekend and we were so pleased! Cathy was attentive to Oliver’s needs, gave him plenty of time to exercise and play, and let him rest and snuggle when he tired himself out. We’d love to have Oliver stay with Cathy again.”
“Andrew was the best person we could have chosen to watch over our Pup! We were away for a little over a week and we have a very big and very playful and stubborn 1 year old Rottie. We were so nervous about leaving him and having limited cell service during our trip but our worries were immediately at ease once our pup met Andrew. He was instantly drawn to him. Once we left, Andrew Kept us updated EVERYDAY with pictures, videos and messages. He Kept Ash super active with his runs and Ash was SO happy and could not stop playing! He worked with him on so many things and kept his mind busy and happy! We are beyond grateful to him! He was so patient and loving and we were able to really enjoy our trip with peace of mind and that, is priceless! We will definitely be choosing him to watch Ash again!”
“Meiqi was very wonderful with Obi! She was responsive and sent frequent updates which I really appreciated. I felt comfortable leaving him with her and it’s very clear that he had an amazing time! It’s nice to know that when I’m on vacation, he’s also getting a mini vacation of his own. Would definitely book again.”
“Excellent! It says a lot when a dog goes back to the dog sitter (Enis) for a final goodbye pet before we got in the car to go back home. This was the first time our dog was away from us, in all the pictures she seemed so happy that she was playing with other dogs. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was having a great time. I highly recommend Enis.”
“Tremendously reliable. Excellent communication. Super friendly and most importantly, so kind and loving to my Charley dog. Will return again for sure. Highly recommend.”
“Couldn't have been more happier with my first Rover experience! Ann had sent me photos of my dog while I was away. Will definitely use the service again in the future!”
“I have boarded my 2 dogs here a couple of times now and will continue to book again if needed. Responsive messages and updates on my dogs and is able to comply to special requests. Great experience.”
“Melissa and her family are the absolute BEST!!!! My dog absolutely loves going to their home and being entertained, loved and treated like a princess. I can't say enough good things!”
“Michael was fantastic - i have a Chihuahua who is slow to warm up and she loved staying here. Was snuggling in the same bed as their dog Bread in just one night. She even got a bit sick and Michael was super on top of it and checked to make sure she was ok and kept a close eye of her. Sent lots of pics and great communication. Thanks michael!”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”
“Our anxious girl Sophie stayed with Desi and Marilyn for a week. She was so well taken care of and got to socialize with lots of friendly dogs without it being too overwhelming for her. One of the best perks is that Desi and Marilyn already have pretty much everything your dog needs. This was a huge timesaver for me when I had to pack up my human family for vacation. It also meant less stress for Sophie because she didn't see her things being packed up.”
“This was our first experience and it was perfect! Cynthia was amazing and our pup felt right at home. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about how he was doing.”
“They took great care of my dog Max. He was so happy with all the food love and playing he did. I would highly recommend them everytime and will again when needed in the future! Chi-Wing S. deserves more than 5 stars!”
“Elizabeth and Oleg were great! They provided updates of our dog Zion and were flexible when our pickup plans changed due to travel. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Iliana NEVER disappoints!! She saved me with my most recent booking. I had an emergency last minute request and she answered right away and was available for the days! A true lifesaver! She took great care of Cookies n Cream, sent pictures and updates everyday and gave him a Spa Day and washed his bed on the day I picked him up! He was so happy and smelled so good when I picked him up! Thank you Iliana for being the BEST dog sitter ever!”
“Lisa made Carly's first boarding away from home a loving and pleasant experience. She returned home healthy and happy. Lisa kept in touch and consistantly sent pictures of her time with Carly.”

Lily spent one overnight with Mi to get aquainted for her upcoming stay with her. We were so happy we did! Mi was very attentive to Lily regarding her special needs. She sent us great pictures of Lily and how her day was going. We will be able to relax knowing Lily is with a caring person while we are on vacation.
Celeste is AMAZING!! Do not hesitate for a moment to leave your pet with her and her family. She was wonderful with our puppy and sent us pictures and videos! He was treaded like part of the family in her home. He came home happy and well cared for. I will 100% be using Celeste again to care for Hank!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Upper Saddle River sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Upper Saddle River landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Upper Saddle River 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 Upper Saddle River.
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 Upper Saddle River 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.
