“Champ had the greatest day with Eunice and her family! He ran around the yard, played with her dog and got so many cuddles! I can always tell what kind of day he’s had when I pick him up and he was happy as can be! Plus lots of amazing pics throughout the day. Highly recommend Eunice!”
About: I may not have a professional certification in animal behavior, but what I do have is a deep love for dogs, years of experience caring for my own dog, and a commitment to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved. I pride myself on being patient, attentive, and dependable. I can implement strict feeding schedules and medications, navigate long walks/hikes, or simply recognize when a dog just needs some quiet companionship. I will treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. You can count on me for regular photo/video updates and the peace of mind that your pet is being treated like family. I am an early riser and have the ability to be very flexible. I had dedicated the past 14 years of my life to caring for my late rescue, and am capable to continue doing so for many more. I live in a two-story, single bedroom condo within an HOA community. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will be able to keep your dog active with many walks and interactions with other dogs. My home is spacious and orderly. I am clean and respectful of other's spaces; I treat it as my own. I am well educated and willing to lend a hand when others are in need of help.

“We were in a pinch and needed to figure out what to do with our dog when an out of town wake and a funeral came up suddenly. We found Jonathan on the Rover map in the area we were staying. He responded promptly and we set up the times we needed daycare. He was flexible as our drop-off and pickup times had to be adjusted. Took care of our dog and - very telling, I think - she seemed fine with going back for the second day. She also seemed fine, looked pretty relaxed when we picked her up,”
“Jaki did a wonderful job taking care of my pup. She assured me throughout the daycare visit that he was having fun, playing nicely, and she was present. My dog came home exhausted in the most perfect way! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Our golden retriever, Oliver and I met with Louis and his dog, George, a few days before Oliver's day care visit. During our meet & greet, "Ollie", had a compatibility session with Louis' dog George. They got along great. Louis' spacious fenced-in yard was an ideal setting for safe out-door play. Louis sent us several pictures during Ollie's visit showing us that Ollie was having a great time. We couldn't be happier and Ollie will be visiting again soon! Thank you, Louis!”
About: I am experienced in giving medication. Thoroughly experienced in behavioral training. I have no problem with multiple dogs in same household. I am experienced in all sizes of dogs. I am retired and available twenty four hours a day. I schedule all appointments around the scheduling of the dogs I care for, board or sit. I have a fenced in yard big enough to give 10 dogs plenty of room to roam. I have a steady pack, very friendly. I have never had a problem with fighting or personality problems.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, so welcoming another pup into my home feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable reading their body language, helping nervous or shy dogs settle in, and giving more energetic pups the attention, exercise, and play they need. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like I’d want someone to treat my own. I have a dog-friendly home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I also have my own dog at home, so your pup will be joining an experienced, dog-loving household where caring for dogs is already part of everyday life. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge around the house, follow you everywhere, or do a little bit of everything, my goal is simple: make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. Dogs in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches and can enjoy regular potty breaks, time outside in my large fenced yard, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule and needs. Whether they’re happiest relaxing nearby while I work, getting outside frequently, or looking for a little extra play and attention, they’ll have plenty of companionship and won’t just be waiting all day for someone to come home. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re part of the family, not just a guest. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and affection. My home has a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside throughout the day to play, explore, and burn off some energy. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of activity and interaction or simply a comfortable place to relax. Safety is always a priority, especially when introducing dogs to a new environment and to my own dog. I supervise interactions, give dogs the time and space they need to settle in, and make sure their stay is safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible.

About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.
About: I had my own dogs for 24 years. I trained them to sit when I come home and before they eat. I love to be around dogs and give them lots of attention. I provide dog walking, boarding, drop-in visits and doggie day care. I also provide stack services as well. I am currently a man of leisure. So I have the time in the morning hours to dog sit. So it will fit my schedule. I can keep them in my homes. I let them sleep on my couch and can crate them - (if the owner has a crate to provide and that is what the owner of the dog wants. Then I will give the owner what they want.)
About: I’m a caring, patient, and reliable pet sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention. I’m also responsible and communicative, so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! 🐾 I’m in college Monday–Thursday during the day, but I’m available in the early mornings before 7am, afternoons after 1pm, and on weekends for pet care. I have a flexible schedule outside of classes and can work with your pet’s routine and needs! I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow their normal routine for feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and anything else they need. I also give them plenty of attention and keep their space clean and comfortable while their owners are away!

Michele was wonderful with our Pup. He initially gets a little anxious when we leave him and Michele did a great job calming him. He settled nicely and hung out with Michele. Michele sent us great pictures and is wonderful in responding. We will definitely use Michele again.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Whippany commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 .
