About: Personally, I feel as though what sets me apart from other pet sitters is finding the love for animals and shaping that love into comfort when I need it the most . It pushes me to want to provide care but also having a pet of my own over the years and recently has taught me how to be more gentle and caring. I am a full-time student so pet care will fit into my daily schedule according to my class schedule whether that is early morning nights or even after my classes. I care for my pets as if they are children, so providing the basic necessities, they need to feel loved and care for is what I will apply to my pet sitting job.
“We had such a great experience with Suzie. She took amazing care of our dog, Buzzy, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. She sent updates and photos about how he was doing, which really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“Bobbi helped us out with a very last minute booking and was absolutely amazing. She was quick to respond, thoughtful with my dogs needs and kept us up to date on how he was doing over the weekend. I immediately felt comfortable and Archie had a great time. Can’t recommend enough, thank you Bobbi!”
“The dogs had such a good time and Marisol was super responsive and sent pictures! Their yard was huge and our dogs absolutely loved it. We will try to book with them again.”
“A wonderful home away from home for Leah with Funda taking care of every detail of Leah’s routine and her special meals . She was very encouraging and very willing to do all that she could to help Leah have a great time while our family were away .,The dog sitter , Funda took her for every day walks and her family enjoyed Leah just as much she enjoyed the love they poured on her., we received every day video/picture update on how our Leah was doing while we were away which helped us have a relaxed less anxious family trip knowing that she is in good hands., I would definitely go with her for my future needs with Leah’s boarding or dog sitting and can be assured that she will be taken care of well . Highly recommend her for big dogs . She was very good with our Akita who is a big dog .”
“Suko was very well taken care of during the winter storm while we went on vacation! Val sent pictures and updates daily, leaving us confident Suko was in good hands. He was a super happy pup when we returned, thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Michelle did a great job watching both of our dogs during our Christmas vacation! We didn’t have to worry about them at all! We really appreciated all of the pictures she sent too.”
“Rosemeri was great taking care of Chase with her fast replies and updates with pictures. She showed me where Chase would stay and got to play around. Will be using her again for sure”
“So happy we chose Chelsea to watch our pup while we were away for a week! We received pictures and videos and she updated us throughout the week with how our dog was doing. Riley (our dog) went on walks, played outside, and even attended a birthday party! It looks like she had a blast. Riley was well taken care of and came home very happy. We are so thankful we found a family for Riley to visit for the times we need to go away without a pup. Thank you so much! You won't regret booking with Chelsea! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
“So happy we found Kathy and Ben to watch our Jeffrey! They were thoughtful about ensuring he had food, water, plenty of walks and play, and we got photos and videos throughout the day. We will definitely be going back and are so happy we found such great people to take care of our dog. We also got a special note about Jeffrey’s stay, which was so sweet to read ?”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with Paola. She provided photos and updates on a daily basis. This alleviated my fear of not being able to take my dog with me. I would recommend Paola without hesitation to anyone who needs to board their pets.”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a school psychologist in Palisades Park. I have owned dogs my entire life. I love a dog's need for attention and their energy and unconditional love! During the summer, I can be available most days and most times during the day. I am available most evenings. I'm an early bird! I am looking forward to becoming friends with your dog while getting our exercise. I am also looking forward to your pet getting the attention he or she needs. I'm friendly, honest, loyal, and looking forward to a new adventure. I have a dog, Stephen. He is 3 years old and lives at home with me and my husband. Reach out to see if we’re a good match! I’m available some weekends. I can take them on walks, follow a schedule, and love a routine. My current dog is chill and likes other dogs too. How would you like me to take care of your dog? You just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions. I know how important it is to have a trusting person watch my dog. Your dog is allowed on my bed, couch, and wherever he may be comfortable.

So happy to have found John! He took extremely good care of my little velcro dog, while I recovered from knee surgery. He was in contact with updates & photos everyday, which is important to me. I miss that pup like crazy when she’s not next to me! She went on tons of walks & John paid extra attention to her when she was anxious about being away from home (me). John is truly a kind soul.
Our dog, Coach, had a dream stay with Kristen over Christmas. He was treated like royalty. She handled his food and meds like the pro she is, but also carved out a path for him so he wouldn’t have to walk on the snow. She sent several videos a day, he looked SO happy. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to board him at Kristen’s house. He looked like he didn’t want to leave!!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
