“Alice and her family were awesome with our beagle, Buster! He had a great time and clearly enjoyed spending the long weekend. We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need a rover for Buster!”
“Jenny and her family were wonderful in the care (and photos they shared) they took of my fur-baby, Penny. I highly endorse her as a dog sitter, and their house and yard is ideal for a dog who wants to play, and then snuggle.”
“Rachel and her family are great people and they took very good care of our senior lab. Rachel took the time to meet with us to get to know our pup ahead of our boarding period in order to ensure they can provide a welcoming home. Rachel was so responsive throughout and was so easy to communicate with. I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a kind and caring dog sitter.”
“My husband and I didn’t make a mistake trusting Dhruvit to take care our 3montha old puppy for 2 nights (May2-3). When we did meet and greet Juno was already happy to meet Dhruvit and family. He didn’t even want to leave 🙂. While we were away, Dhruvit kept sending photos and kept us posted! So we felt comfortable and knew that Juno is safe and having a good time. Thanks Dhruvit and family! We will refer Dhruvit to our friends!”
“Another fantastic stay with Ahmad. Our golden was well cared for and Ahmad is extremely kind and communicative. He sent pics of our Winnie and was always there when we sent a message. 10/10”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“Lucas and Katherine were phenomenal! They sent videos and pictures the entire time my baby was with them. You could tell they really love dogs and she was so happy to be with them. It was great to know that she was being well cared for and loved.”
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Gigi received! Gigi is a micro American Bulldog, and this was the second time she stayed with them. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were attentive, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure Gigi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Gigi came home relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved during her stay. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but they exceeded our expectations both times. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such amazing care of Gigi—we will definitely be booking with you again! 🐾❤️”
“Lisa was great! Ellie stayed with her for two nights and is now home and sleepy from playing so much with Lisa’s dogs. She sent pictures and kept us updated. And her home was super dog-friendly. Thanks so much, Lisa!”
About: I am a local college student available to care for your furry “baby”; providing love and care as you would while away. I have experience caring for range of pet ages understanding the needs of younger pets (exercise, stimulation) as well as older pets (mobility, meds, etc.). Either way I take my time and exercise patience in getting your dog comfortable and happy with me caring for them. My goal is to be their “stand in pet parent” and care and love for them as they way you do. I believe to do that it is important to gain trust and confidence with meeting beforehand if that works for you. I hope to make your pet feel comfortable so that their stay or care with me will be an enjoyable one for them, and a reassuring one for you. I am a college student - where I work my schedule to be available for your pet’s needs. I have taken care of my dog of 15 years and understand being available with the different needs of a young puppy to a more older dog. I will provide attentive, loving care by following their routine, giving plenty of affection, exercise, and patience, while creating a calm, safe, and loving environment.
“Raheem is a wonderful Sitter. It was our first time booking with him and we were worried Mabel was going to have a hard time adjusting. Meet and greet went well so we booked the boarding for 6 nights (we were out of the country). He sent us pictures and videos throughout the whole stay and kept us informed. Will definitely book with Raheem again!”
“Mallika was amazing. She really took the time to get to know Coco and help her feel at home. She was in communication with us and gave us updates. I would highly recommend Mallika to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Ginette took amazing care of our pup during our long weekend away. She was quick to respond and took lots of pics to give us peace of mind being away from our pup. We will hope to have her pup sit for us again. highly recommend!”

“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
“Jessie stayed with Tynesha and her family for four days. This was the first time she stayed with someone other than a family member. She sent me photos everyday and I could see that Jessie was happy and bring well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”

Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pet was in the best hands. The constant updates, along with so many adorable photos and videos, gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. It was obvious that our pet was treated like family—with so much love, patience, and attention. The level of care and communication truly went above and beyond our expectations. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet, which says everything about the wonderful care they received. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and incredibly thoughtful, look no further. We highly recommend them and will absolutely be booking again in the future. Thank you for everything!
If I could give Margarita and her husband more than 5 stars, I would. They took such good care of my 17 year old Jack Russell. Although he is sweet, he has a lot of age-related issues, he wears a diaper and can be a little grumpy at times. From the moment I met them they made be feel completely comfortable leaving Ringo in their care. They understood his needs and kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I am incredibly grateful for the care they gave to Ringo and would not hesitate to trust them with him again. I highly recommend Margarita, Thank you both for taking such great care of our old guy!
Gianna and her partner took wonderful care of our boy while we were away! I received lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day—snuggled up on the couch, playing fetch, and thriving on his walks at the park. With Gianna’s knowledge and dedication to pet care, we felt at ease leaving him in their care. They handled his energy, anxiety, and heat sensitivity very well, and he seemed to have a lovely time during his week away home. We would absolutely recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a trusted sitter!
Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!

There are 13,301 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Watchung. About 88% of Watchung sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
