“Anmol and Trupti took such great care of our dog Spunky overnight this week so that we could get a night away to NYC. Spunky seemed to feel right at home and got lots of love and attention. We received pics and videos so we could see that she was doing great. Thank you so much Anmol and Trupti! NWe highly recommend this family and will definitely use them again for Spunky!”
“5 stars! Sumit took exceptional care of Frodo for 3 nights. Great communication, daily updates, and a wonderful backyard for Frodo to play in. He came back a very happy dog—we'd gladly leave Frodo with him again!”
About: I've had pets in my home all my life and have always helped care for them. Including: dogs, rabbits, rats, lizards, and fish. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I love caring for them by walking them in interesting places or feeding them, even sleeping with them! I finally got a dog of my own at 15 and for the past several years have walked her weekly. Now I have 2 and have learned to manage them both while walking simultaneously. I try to go on light hiking trails or to parks, switching up the location every time. I am currently free most weekends. On Fridays, I'm free after 2 PM typically, but occasionally my girlfriend will be free, in which case she can take dogs on Friday morning for boarding. Just ask and I'll let you know when I'm available on a particular Friday. In my home, my dogs are well-fed with a healthy diet of kibble twice a day, eggs in the morning, and chicken strips at night. They each get baths once every few weeks. We also always prefer they are never alone for more than a few hours at a time. If we leave even for one night, we make sure we have someone visit them every few hours for feeding and letting out. Otherwise, we make sure they feel as loved as possible with lots of petting and sitting together!
“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!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals since childhood. I grew up with my Doberman, Orlik, and later had two cats, Mia and Musya. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and I’m always happy to help friends and others when they need someone they can trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they are with me I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I can adjust my routine based on each pet’s individual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep it consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fenced yard and will always provide a clean, comfortable, and caring environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I give them the time, attention, and personal care they need to feel safe and comfortable.
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Radwa was the absolute best and super accommodating. We contacted Radwa because my fiance, (now wife) were getting married and our pup was the ring bearer and we needed her to pick him up from the venue after the ceremony. She was great and everything went as planned. Thank you Radwa!!!”
“We couldn't be happier with Amanda. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily check-ins, communication was clear and reassuring. Loved getting plenty of photo and video updates which gave us total peace of mind. Amanda handled him very well there was a lot of play time for Teddy and he was very happy at her place . We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”
“You worry about your pet missing you and not eating or being scared, but not with Kayla and her family. She is absolutely wonderful and gave us updates with pics of Kody having fun with the other dogs and the children giving him lots of attention and playtime. We are very grateful for her care of are furbaby!”
“Susana is a warm kind person, she welcomed our 10 year old staffy cooper into her home and took such great care of him. great communication, lovely home, i would highly recommended Susana.”
“Ken is amazing with our Frenchie! Frankie ran to the car as fast as he could when we packed him up to go to Ken’s house. He came home looking healthy and very well taken care of. We highly recommend him but hope he doesn’t book up too much because we will definitely be back”
“I would highly recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. Daisy had a meet and greet a month ago and I could see then that Vincent was very experienced with dogs, was kind and gentle, and he made Daisy feel comfortable. As Vincent was sitting another dog during Daisy’s stay when we arrived at his house he was waiting in front with the other dog so Daisy could get to know him before going in the house. It gave me a sense of comfort knowing Daisy would be OK. Vincent gave me updates during Daisy’s stay which I appreciated.I would not hesitate using his services again if needed.”
“Kathy is a wonderful, wonderful sitter! Took such great care of our doggie, Ari. If you have a chance to book with Kathy, don’t pass it up! Your doggie will thank you!! Thanks Kathy!!”
“Monika and her family took great care of Einie while we traveled for 3 weeks. Einie was well looked after and enjoyed his time with Finn (Monika’s Dalmatian) and her children. Einie will definitely be back with them, and I highly recommend them. Thank you Monika.”
“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wickatunk
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
