“Jennifer and her family did such a wonderful job watching our two pups while we traveled for a wedding. She sent us many pictures and updates - our dogs really felt right at home!”

“We had such a wonderful experience! Our Goldendoodle was so well cared for and she absolutely loved playing with their son. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. We’re so grateful for the loving care and great communication! We will definitely book again!”
“We are so happy to have found Kristen. She took the best care of our dog Daisy when we had to leave town for a few days. She kept us informed on how Daisy was doing and sent pictures. Daisy absolutely loved Kristen. She settled right in at her house and was taken very good care of. We will definitely use Kristen again in the future and would recommend her to everyone we know.”
“We had a meet and greet a couple weeks before our trip and we felt very comfortable leaving our pomeranian Steel with Patty. She had a lot of good reviews and repeat pet parents also which drew us to her. We could tell from the pictures and updates she sent us throughout the week that he was having a great vacation at her house! Her house was comfortable for him and we would recommend her and also have her petsit again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup overnight and we were a little nervous at first but Christine was wonderful! From the moment we dropped her off, she made her feel right at home! Great communication and updates anytime! Yuna was so happy and already whining to go back as soon as we picked her up! She had a fantastic time!”
“Alba was the absolute best! She took such good care of Rusty who can be very independent and particular. She provided funny and frequent updates and gave him a great vacation home. And I got some peace of mind!”
“John was absolutely amazing from start to finish with my two pups. Another thing is that his wife seriously helped me with pinpointing one of my pups skin issues and referred me to great vets in my area. The whole experience from start to finish was great and I can already tell that my pups miss hanging out with their sweet pup Panini.”
“I was so pleased with the care my Chewie got with Joanna! She sent me several pictures over the course of the visit and praised him constantly. We will definitely book her again!”

About: Greetings Pet Parents: I recently retired and am able to fulfill a lifelong dream of having a small doggy day care in my house 24/7 I have the time since I am fully retired now to dedicate to taking care of small pets for as long as you may need in my home. I have a fenced patio out back with a long strip of astro turf where your pet can enjoy sunshine, fresh air and potty breaks on demand in a safe secure enclosed space
“Sumit took great care of our labradoodle Tycho over the weekend. He was very responsive, kept us updated throughout the stay and our dog liked him. This was the first time we ever had to board him so the professionalism and care kept us at ease. Would happily recommend and book with him in the future!”
“Mónica and her family were awesome. I left my 4 month old puppy with them overnight and they took wonderful care of her. They have a beautiful home with a very safe fenced in back yard. The 2 dogs they have are very friendly and good with other animals. I could tell from the first meeting that Mónica understands and loves dogs. I was very nervous about leaving my little girl with anyone but I would definitely use Mónica again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe happy environment for your dog if you have to go away. Regular kennels can be so stressful on a dog having your dog join someones family like this for a few days is the only way to go in my opinion.”
“I’m so happy we found Paola. She bonded with Thor so quickly and took great care of him. I loved how she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout the day so I knew they were having a fun time together. I look forward to knowing Thor will be safe and well cared for the next time we need Paola while we are away on vacation.”
“Geremy was a wonderful and attentive dog sitter. I knew Hachi was in great hands the moment I left him. While he was in Geremy’s care, he was taken on several walks a day, played with and monitored frequently. Geremy responded quickly and provided daily updates so I knew how Hachi was doing. I would recommend Geremy to anybody who is looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter.”
“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”

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 Whiting 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 Whiting 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 Whiting.
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 Whiting. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Whiting 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.
