“First time using Rover and this family was very accommodating. From their communication and assistance with app questions, the experience was hands down exceptional. We were away for 4 nights and they made us feel like Pickles was safe with our family. Could not recommend them any more.”
“Highly recommend Melissa! My anxious pup settled in quickly and was clearly treated like family. Melissa provided my dog activity, enrichment, and affection, all while keeping me updated with regular communication. It’s rare to find someone who cares this much. We will definitely book with her 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!”
“Pricilla was wonderful with my dog. I was very nervous since this was my first experience but turned out to be better than expected. Pricilla updated me with photos each day which was great assurance. I will definitely reach out to Pricilla in the future!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”

“We are so happy we found Peiyi to board our dog Jackson. We were going away and we needed someone we could trust for an extended stay of 17 days. Peiyi and her husband is amazing. From the start she was very responsive to our request and to all of our questions which ensured us that Jackson will be in great hands. She is flexible with our requests of our specific pick up and drop off times. She gave updates and sent us pictures. Jackson after coming home seems happy and the same and not sad at all since we were concerned that we were away for quite some time. You can tell she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and loves dogs. We also loved the fact that she was 30 min away and her rates were affordable. This was our first time with Peiyi but definitely won’t be our last. We would definitely use her services again in the near future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”
“Jennifer took great care of my black lab, Finnley for a few days while we were away for a long weekend at a family wedding. I don’t leave him often, so finding a local sitter that I felt good about took some research. I found Jennifer through Rover and saw great reviews. I appreciated getting photos while we were away to see that he was having a good time as well:-).”
“Celeste did an amazing job taking care of my greyhound. Jolteon is terrified of cars and Celeste went way out of the way to make sure my pup was comfortable and safe. She gave him his medication without any difficulty at all. Her price is great for the care that she provides. I highly recommend booking Celeste to take care of your animals. I will be using her services be again very soon.”
“We had our dog stay with them for boarding, and we couldn’t have been happier! They were incredibly kind, took great care of our dog, and frequently sent us photos and videos so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Ken and Irene were the perfect choice when we needed someone to watch our dog for almost a week. Irene makes sure to send plenty of photos and updates daily to keep your mind at ease. Woody was clearly enjoying his time with his fellow pups and with their dog-loving family. Would definitely recommend!”

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.
