“We are very happy with the care our anxious 9 year old received. There were regular updates throughout his stay over a weekend. He did not even need his occasional anxiety medication that helps him settle down. He came back home calm and tired without any signs of stress. We would certainly drop him off at Sriram and Rekha's again.”
“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“We love Desi and Marilyn! Our pup Izzy is always eager to stay with them - much more so than other large boarding facilities. There are plenty of doggy playmates, room to play in a very leafy enclosed outdoor space and love and good vibes from Desi and Marilyn. They’ve also looked after her well on a few occasions when she needed meds and monitoring. Happily recommend.”
“Heidy was great! She took care of my pup Lady when I had to travel for a last-minute trip and it was incredibly easy. She’s easy to communicate with and I think Lady had a good time.”
“Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.”
“Geoff and Jenny did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Morgan. They took him out to walk for up to 5 miles, and had plenty of interaction between him and there 3 or dogs. Morgan is a Labrador retriever and weighs about 95 lbs. He fell in love with a small female dog and played well with him. He stayed for about a month while my wife and I stayed in Japan and then the Philippines. Geoff and Jenny sent many photos and videos through Whats.app. We sent a video of myself and two grandaughters (11 and 13 years) telling Morgan than we miss him and will be back in a couple of weeks. The sitters then showed a video of Morgan while they listened to the video. It was priceless. I recommend to use Geoff and Jenny as sitters with no reservations.”
“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 such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.”
“I am very thankful and appreciative for your care and love for my dog. I really enjoyed receiving photos and update while I was away, that really eased my mind. I highly recommend !”
“Michelle was quickly responsive and agreeable (even though it was a very early drop off) to watch my dog Lulu. She sent me photos of Lulu multiple times and walked twice her as well during an 8 hour visit. Lulu got along well with Michele’s dog Lola.”
“We had to travel out of the country for a little over a week and Michelle’s warm and sweet personality really eased our concerns about being away, especially since we just moved to the area and were leaving our dog with someone new. She proactively communicated and shared updates with us. It was clear that she embraced Kofi as a part of her family and we’re very grateful!”
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“From the time I dropped my dog off,to when I picked him up and even after Keisy has been a total sweetheart….From sending pictures of him playing around, she even went above and beyond as to showering him and washing his blanket. In which no dog sitter as done before.It’s the small details that count and truly makes me want to use her again in the future hands down…”
“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!”
“Stanley had another fantastic stay with Bobbi. He was excited to see her at the beginning of the week and came home happy. We’ll happily ask Bobbi to take care of Stanley again in the future!”
“Bayan was such a friendly host that communicated extremely well. Super fast replies! Our dog stayed with her for about a week over Christmas break and she continuously gave us photo/video updates. We’ll definitely use her again!”

Maria was so amazing! She watched our dog for 10 days and I don’t think he wanted to leave! When I arrived she asked me many questions about my dog, things I never thought of like “does he have any allergies?” I felt like he was in great hands and will definitely use her again. ❤️
Jason and Ashley are the perfect duo. From the beginning they were very helpful in giving me all the information I needed to prepare Morty for his week long visit. We were invited to come and visit their house and see the huge!!! Fenced in yard. Jay and Ash are both the nicest people If you’re thinking about boarding dont look any further you and your dog will be very satisfied

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 dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Wayne 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 Wayne 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 Wayne.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayne. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 Wayne 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
