“Amanda was very communicative and took great care of my dog for a long weekend! I got regular updates, and he seemed to get along well with Amanda’s dog too. I would happily leave my dog with her again.”
“Eunice took excellent care of Cappy during the three days we were away! She kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I could tell she read my notes about Cappy’s care. Cappy also had a wonderful time with Eunice’s family and her dog, Pincky! I will definitely reach out to her again when I need someone to take care of Cappy in the future!”
“Briana took care of our dog Happy for 9 days while we were on vacation. She did an amazing job, and we could tell that she and Happy had formed a nice bond. She was very responsive to our texts. We received photos every day of them playing, going on walks, and relaxing together. We did a video call as well to check in. Happy was very comfortable, and enjoyed her time under Brianna's care. We'll definitely hire Brianna again in the future.”
“Amanda was such a great sitter and I cannot recommend her enough. Her communications, flexibility and care she had for our dogs put as at ease while we were away. She took the time to really understand our dogs and their different personalities. The photos of the dogs showed how much fun they were having. Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Great experience each and every time Manuel cares for our 5 yr old Frenchie, Layla. Reliable, friendly, and enthusiastic about watching dogs. All you could ask for and then some!”
“Tammy and Tony are great and we always feel safe having Penny stay at the Red Woof Inn. Penny has stayed for a couple of visits and we have always received regular photo updates on how she is doing. Penny loves it there and we know she is in good hands while we are away.”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi, I’m Jonny! I’ve had a special connection with animals for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, my mother unexpectedly gave away our family dog without telling me, and that experience stayed with me. It gave me an early understanding of just how deep the bond between people and their pets can be. Over the years, I’ve continued learning about dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care, including being inspired by shows like The Dog Whisperer. My goal has always been to better understand animals and provide the kind of patient, attentive, and loving care I would want for my own pets. That passion eventually led me to create our modern Doggy Daycare Suites, where dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away from home. I am an entrepreneur working in the health technology and personal development space, along with my wife. I spend plenty of time caring for pets while working toward our business goals. My hours are flexible, including nights and weekends. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites for 4-6 hours and even overnight stays! I am very active; I go on walks twice per day, rain or shine, and I am happy to keep your pets active and safe. I am available to watch your pets with drop-in visits or take them out for walks, whatever your pets require to be healthy, happy, and active. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites, a beautiful, safe, and spacious home away from home for your dog!
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“This is the 2nd time I've booked Digdem for Chewie and she was a dream as usual! Once again, her constant communication and updates on how my pup was doing was such a comfort during my trip. I knew he was taken care of very well and as if he were part of the family. I look forward to booking her again when the time comes. Thank you so much Digdem!”
“Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!”
“Inna took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She would send me update pictures unprompted and my dog absolutely loved staying with her and her family. I highly recommend Inna to take care of your pets. =)”
“Veronica was so amazing with Sophie, I wasn’t sure she was going to want to come home! Veronica and her family (and Sophies new little fur brother) watched Sophie for a week while we were out of town. Sophie got a ton of outdoor time between walks, going to the park, and going out back. Veronica sent me daily updates with photos and a quick text. It was clear Sophie was having the best vacation, and so that meant my wife and I could enjoy ours with out worry. I would absolutely recommend Veronica and her family as a sitter for your dog.”
“Just picked my dog up after his first stay at Val’s house, and I couldn’t be happier. Val sent updates and pictures each day, which clearly demonstrated how happy and comfortable he was with her. I don’t even think he wanted to leave!! She was amazing, and my dog has already requested another stay soon!”
“Natalie was so wonderful to work with and she did such an amazing job watching for Rhodey while we were away. She gave updates and pictures every day and gave him so many cuddles which he absolutely loves!! She was easy to communicate with, has a great personality and overall we really enjoyed having her sit for Rhodey. 100% would recommend and hire her again!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Orange
Dublin enjoyed his time staying with Jestine, and he came back, clean, happy, and healthy. Justine took the time to meet with us ahead of boarding to make us feel comfortable with the arrangement and to get detailed information on Dublin’s Care Boarding him for 12 days was tough, but I knew he was in good hands and well taken care of which made it easier and less worrisome for me.
Caitlin was excellent! She took our dog for multiple walks, made sure he was comfortable at her home, and sent us lots of great pictures and updates during our trip. We felt very secure knowing Caitlin was watching our dog and will definitely be hiring her in the future!
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.
Najja is amazing! She’s very reliable, trustworthy, and always comes through for me, even when I need someone on short notice. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and I know he’s always well taken care of. I truly appreciate how dependable and accommodating she is. I definitely recommend Najja to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their fur baby!
Breanna and Myah were amazing. They sent me pictures of Dior the entire time they were with her. They were very good to communicate with , they payed good attention to Diors food regimen and even bought her along to the stores with them. Will 100% use them again next time Dior needs a sitter. I was nervous at first leaving my doggy with a stranger but they made the entire experience amazing. 10/10 experience and great communication.
The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.
Bell was wonderful and I appreciate her accepting my last minute request to watch my separation anxiety prone Chihuahua/Yorky mix. She sent me several pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was able to keep my pup calm and happy while I was working. I highly recommend and would use again!
Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!
Veronica took great care of my Nutmeg! Knowing I was going to be away for two weeks, I was nervous about leaving her at a boarding facility where she's been stressed when I've taken shorter trips. After a meet & greet, I was already at ease. In addition to loving my sweet, old girl, I also received photo, and text updates. I'm so thankful I found Veronica, and look forward to future trips where I'll know Nutmeg is loved, and care for.

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.
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 West Orange 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 West Orange 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 West Orange.
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 West Orange. 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 West Orange 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.
