About: I am an army veteran that has spent his recent years caring for dogs both of owners and strays and have loved the experience. Pets provide a joy and fulfillment that I can find nowhere else. I believe that pets deserve more than just responsible attention and a loving home, they deserve to be treated with utmost dignity and should also have a learning experience in the process. I have become well versed in training of dogs and would be more than happy to either review or even instill basic training skills. Pets and dogs in particular have become a necessary factor of my own personal happiness. It would be my honor and privilege to be able to provide a special care for a special little friend.
About: Hi! We’re Lisa and Hojin, lifelong dog lovers who will welcome your pet into our home like a member of our family. Lisa’s love for animals began when she got her first dog at four years old. Since then, she has cared for many dogs and cats and gained hands-on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and daily pet care. Her father is a veterinarian, so she grew up learning from him how to understand animals and care for them safely and attentively. Hojin is the primary caregiver and is available on both weekdays and weekends. He is an active and attentive dog dad who enjoys walks, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Lisa joins him on weekends, giving your pet even more companionship and affection. We currently share our home with Bacon, our sweet six-year-old neutered Corgi. We understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your dog stays with us for daycare or boarding, or joins us for a walk, we’ll care for them with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love—just as we do for Bacon. Hojin is available for pet care throughout the week, including both weekdays and weekends, so he can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Lisa helps care for our guests on weekends, providing additional companionship and affection. We can adjust our routine to match your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty schedule as closely as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We share our home with Bacon, our friendly six-year-old neutered Corgi. We introduce dogs carefully, supervise their interactions, and provide separate spaces or feeding areas when needed. We follow each owner’s instructions regarding meals, walks, medication, potty breaks, and sleeping arrangements. We do not routinely confine dogs in a crate, but we can follow your dog’s established crate routine if requested. We will also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Our dogs are like children to us. Now, as we work from home and have a big yard, we have the ideal setup for happy, safe dogs—and want to share it with your fur baby! Stay at Penny’s House: - We’ve raised our 3-year-old mini poodle to be happy, gentle and kind. She loves to play and cuddle, and gets along very well with other dogs and cats! She’s a great hostess. - Our home is very loving and safe. Someone is always around to give cuddles and love, plenty of cozy places to hang out, and hazards are always out of reach. - We have a fully fenced, big backyard where your beloved fur baby can play fetch and get out all their zoomies frequently and safely. It's also covered in grass and shaded by large trees, so don't worry about hot summer days! - We don't anticipate anything happening, but just in case, rest assured because our home is only *one block* away from an excellent animal hospital! - We’ll do our best to make sure that your little buddy will feel loved and at home here, getting the same level of care you like to provide to them. - We’ve had senior dogs and a dog with diabetes, so we are very careful and will always give attention to detail to adapt to their needs: diet, exercise, attention, or anything else. You can count on us to always read ingredients and to follow your instructions carefully. - We will keep you updated with photos and videos so you know they’re safe and having a good time. - ¡Se habla español! Si tu perrito se siente más cómodo que le hable en español, solo díganos cuáles comandos utilizan. It’s hard to find someone to trust with your pet; we found this out the hard way. So we hope our home can be the place you rely on to feel safe leaving your little bundle. REQUIREMENTS: We’re flexible and easygoing. But because we want everyone to have a good, safe time, we do have a couple of requirements: 1) We require a meet-and-greet for all new clients before a stay to make sure our dog and yours get along well. 2) Your dog must be up-to-date on all vaccines: rabies, bordatella, lepto, etc. Because we work from home, we are available at home to take care of your little buddy full time for boarding and daycare at our home. A fully-enclosed, shaded backyard for zoomies and lots of walks around our safe, dog-friendly, and tree-lined neighborhood. Your fur baby will be under our supervision throughout the day and will get frequent trips to the yard and lots of time to play. We're also happy to walk your dog as often as you need. We’re always happy to be flexible with your schedule to accommodate both your and your dog’s needs.
“She was very flexible and I know my girls had a great time. My dogs got to play with others inside and outdoors, which is impressive because my girls are known to be escape artists in a backyard lolz. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, from Standard Poodle’s, to Shih tzu’s, to Boxer/Bulldogs! I have tons of experience with pups of all sizes. At the moment, I have to amazing dogsLouie and Lennon. Louie is a Retriever/Setter mix and Lennon and is Coonhound, both rescues. I have had Louie from 8 weeks old and am a pro with puppies and older dogs alike. Before my two loves, I had a Boxer/Bulldog mix Hudson. She was the epitome of a “gentle giant”.

Thank you to Amarys and her family for taking such great care of my babies! She kept me updated throughout the day, was very responsive, and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all of my instructions and spent plenty of time playing with my dogs. I’m so happy I found the right person. I’ve already booked another daycare with her and can’t wait to see her again!
Xunzi was very flexible and accommodating, even accepting our last-minute booking and adjusting to our schedule without any issues. Bacon was a little nervous on his first day, but she was so patient and understanding. She paid close attention to his emotions and made sure he felt comfortable and settled in. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She is someone we can truly trust with Bacon, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
This was our dog's first time staying with Kathryn, and it was a great experience! Kathryn was super responsive, flexible with timing, and incredibly understanding when our travel was significantly delayed. We really appreciated her flexibility and care. Would definitely recommend!
Paloma was very responsive and always updated on how Ace was doing with the other little fur babies (he can be a handful at times). She even used her time with him to train him on basic commands. Overall very happy with how she babied my baby boy 🩷 will be going back!!
I cannot thank Karla enough for providing an amazing care to our dog, Miley. I had to book her as last min booking while we were traveling and we couldn’t leave our dog for long hours at the hotel. Karla sent us numerous photos throughout the day when she was taking care of Miley from 9am-5pm. She was informative on how our dog was settling in, how she was spending time, or taking treats etc. She made our travel stress free because we knew Miley was getting a gray care. I would highly recommend her to any dog owners 🙌🏻👏🏻❤️
My dog sitter cancelled last minute before a friends wedding, Kat was able to take my dog in on an hours notice. Kat provided pictures/updates through out the stay, and was exceptionally accommodating to the last minute booking. I highly recommend Kat for your pet sitting needs.
Susan was absolutely wonderful! She was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly accommodating to our fur baby Kuku’s needs. He’s 12 years old and on medication, and she handled everything with so much care. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. We completely trust her with Kuku and are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend her for your four-legged loved ones! She’s amazing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Wood-Ridge 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 11,441 sitters in Wood-Ridge, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
