“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Lisa is wonderful! She sent us pictures of our pup every couple of days and gave us updates. She is so accommodating and caring. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the near future.”
“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.”
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“Priscilla is absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful she was free to watch my dog for three nights while we were away. She’s responsive and communicative — and Watson may love her more than he loves me based on the pictures she sent! 😂 I also give her a lot of credit because she watched him during one of the absolute coldest weeks we’ve had in a while and she still braved the arctic temperatures to make sure he got a ton of walks. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Brittny is great! Digby felt right at home and he loved playing with her kids and their dog Benji for hours and hours in their huge yard! She sent great happy photos over the weekend, and is easy to work with around pick up and drop off. We are so happy we found this loving family.”
“Melissa did a great job with my puppy Callie! She made it a very easy and simple process with dropping her off and picking her up. I felt very comfortable with leaving her knowing she was going to receive such great care! Melissa sent plenty of updates which I loved and made me feel even more comfortable knowing Callie was doing great! We will definitely be back!”
“Ralphie had a great stay at Elizabeth and Oleg’s. Liz was very accommodating to Ralphie’s needs and very timely in returning texts. We will happily book with Liz again.”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“We had our 4 year old very active Lab stay with Peiyi for the weekend . Like any Dog parent I was extremely hesitant as it was our first time leaving her with them. Peiyi and her Husband both took great care of Coco and we had a happy puppy at pick up :)”
“I can’t say wonderful things about Lieb! Truly a remarkable and dedicated pet caregiver. From the very first day, it was clear how deeply he cares for animals and the well being of the pets in his care. Also the very first day, receiving a picture of my pup became the highlight of my time away. Waking up to that familiar, happy face and another warm photo before bedtime gave me such comfort. And honestly, it made me smile way more than I expected. Lieb is the best!!!”
“Thanks Ankita...They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog like their own. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of.”
“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!”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful\! He picked up Judge right on time and delivered him safely and on schedule\. He was incredibly caring and attentive, taking Judge for walks and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire trip\. Judge is a big boy—about five times the size of most dogs—and he slobbers quite a bit\! Despite that, Mike made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved\. I truly appreciate the exceptional care Mike gave Judge\. I highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable\. Thank you, Mike\!”
“Just wanted to say raiden loves staying here and we feel the love and warmth as well in return. Definitely 5 stars and would recommend 100 times over. Thank you for watching raiden once again.”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“We had a very positive experience from start to finish, beginning with scheduling and completing the meet and greet, as well as the smooth drop-off and pick-up process. Lucy truly enjoyed her stay with Kimberly and Tom, and she came back happy and clearly well cared for. We will definitely return for our future boarding needs. Thank you for making the entire process so pleasant!”
“Eleanor is awesome!!! I reached out to her for an emergency to keep my 5month old GSD pupp for a day. She was kind enough to keep him and took every good care of my pupp.. I highly recommend her. My pupp loved her place and secured backyard is a blessing in disguise”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Saddle River
if you’re reading Melissa‘s self description and reviews and think this is too good to be true, you’d be wrong.. She’s even better than she was characterized. She clearly gets dogs. She is caring, smart, intuitive, patient, and very kind. With the humans, she was friendly, open, communicative, just plain nice. Even though we were in the midst of a Nor’easter, she took my dog out multiple times. Even fed him some of the family’s meal, gave him her dog’s snacks. In short, took care of him as if he were her own. i’ve complete confidence in her ability to manage in an urgent situation, as well as to keep an already happy dog, engaged and comfortable. Her mom happened to be visiting and she was lovely too. She had her dog with her. Melissa also has a senior dog who is very sweet. Even though there were 3 dogs in the house, it was quite peaceful. If four stars is the top rating. I would give Melissa five stars. She’s fantabulous.
Highly recommend!! I was so nervous about leaving our very shy, almost 2yo mini golden doodle for 10 days (first time leaving him with non-family/friends), but Monica and Kelvin made us feel so comfortable leading up to the trip - explaining how they had a lot of experience with anxious dogs and answering all of our questions. Then on the trip, they provided very regular pix and updates and were super responsive when we had questions. Our dog looked like he had a great time and was showered with lots of love! And is acting fully himself on his first day home - which makes me feel even better! Truly everything you could want in a dog sitter. Highly recommend!! We’ve already booked them for our next trip!
Mi was caring; provided outstanding care to Lily. She was very attentive and supportive regarding Lily's needs. Mi sent us updates along with videos and pictures of Lily's day. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Lily was in good hands. For our next vacation, we would definitely use Mi again.

95% of sitters in Upper Saddle River 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
