“Sumit is a great pet sitter. He took care of Leo recently and paid attention to his needs. He took extra care to calm Leo down and made him at ease in the new environment. He kept sending occasional updates on Leo. I would recommend Sumit any day.”
“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”
“Our girl Scout had the best time at summer camp (aka Yvette’s) lol. We went away on vacation and Scout stayed at Yvette’s for the week - We wouldn’t have wanted her to be anywhere else. Yvette & her husband welcome her into their home like she’s their own! We got tons of updates and pics of Scout on walks, playing in the lovely backyard, snuggled up on the bed, and getting treated with her fav treats -carrots :-) Yvette is the best and you will NOT regret hiring her to take care of your babies. ❤️🐾 thank you Yvette!!!”
About: I lost my dog in Dec. She was the love of my life. I don’t want another dog right now but I want to love and play with someone else’s. I’ll treat them liked their my own. I am retired so I have a lot of free time. I have no regularly scheduled requirements that will take me away from my home for an extended period of time. I’m looking forward to having them keep me company. Your dog will have access to all of my house and bed as long as they are trained. I have a fenced in yard which they can run around in. Please expect that I will be taking your dog on walks.
“Bill knows dogs! He took our rambunctious three year old & they got along great. He had a couple of dogs & we took Rossi there for a meet & greet so he could see how they got along. We took Rossi to Bill’s the next day because Rossi was treated so well. He sent photo & text updates a couple of times each day. 5 stars.”
“We were so lucky to find Debi to take care of our pups, Cooper and Bella Mia. They totally understood our pups different personality and handle each one with patient and care. We received updates three times a day (photos and video), which gave us priceless peace of mine during our trip. We truly feel that we found our pups home away from home and will definitely use them again in the near future.”

“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
“JoEllen has been the best sitter we’ve ever had for Scout. Scout was on a vacation during his stay! Not only did he get to be around a loving family, but he had a huge backyard to run in, trips to the beach, and even got to meet and play with a new dog friend in JoEllen’s neighborhood. JoEllen included Scout in her daily activities like picking up her daughter from school which was something I really loved. He got to do so many fun things and he came home exhausted! We got soo many pictures, videos, and updated throughout his stay which eased my mind knowing he was safe and loved. JoEllen and her entire family treated Scout like their own. Maybe a little too much since JoEllen’s daughter asked if they could keep him!! Haha Scout will absolutely be visiting JoEllen’s again in the near future. I couldn’t recommend her more :)”
“We are incredibly grateful to Evgenii for the amazing care Patrick received. This was a very last-minute booking, and from Thursday night through Monday evening everything went absolutely smoothly. Evgenii was communicative, reliable, and clearly treated Patrick like his own. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our Patrick was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the flexibility and care and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend Evgenii!”
“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”
“Lorrie was the best!! Our older beagle with terrible separation anxiety was loved like he was hers. Lorrie was kind, patient and understanding with our boy. Thank you for a wonderful experience and Sir Jake will be back! :)”
“Grace was a lifesaver, This was very short notice less than 24 hours and my very first time leaving my doggy with a caretake. she was able to help me take care of my doggy while i was away. She even picked him up and dropped him off - he looked very happy and refreshed. I am really happy i found her and will def be using her in my future plans. She communicates all through the process and even sends me pictures of my happy dog all during his stay. Grace thank you again!! you are the BEST!! Looking forward to working with you again. thank you”
“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“Deena was so great with our Ludlow! She sent lots of photos and updates, and was very thorough with everything. I knew Ludlow was in great hands and seemed to have a lot of fun playing with Deena’s sweet dog also. Would certainly book again!”

Colleen and Brent took excellent care of our pup for a week while we were out of the country. Their dog Mango became quick friends with our dog. Colleen was reliable and communicative throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog was well cared for and comfortable. Highly recommended.
Great experience boarding with Karolina. Miles received such a loving care, new friend in Milo to play with. Karolina was fast to respond and very flexible and accomodating with drop-off and pick-up. Received frequent updates and pictures. Fenced-in yard was a plus in this brutal cold weather. Very thankful to Karolina and her lovely family and definitely will consider in the future.

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.
95% of sitters in Wickatunk 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 Wickatunk 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 Wickatunk.
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 Wickatunk. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Wickatunk 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.
