“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“Our Bichon, Jeffrey loves his Aunt Patti! When we dropped him off, he made himself right at home without a look in our direction! He celebrated Thanksgiving with Pat and her family, again making himself at home sitting on the couch with her soon to be son-in-law watching the game! We didn't worry at all about Jeffrey. Pat kept us updated with pictures and adorable videos of his days there! We were able to enjoy a few days with my husband's family for Thanksgiving without a single worry. I know Jeffrey can't wait to see his new family again!”
“Lisa took such good care of my dog! I didn't know what to expect - I have never boarded her except at friends' houses. She texted me photos and updates throughout the weekend, and asked questions about her habits. She had a movie night with her! And the best part was a surprise gift when I picked her up! (I won't spoil it!) Thank you, Lisa!”

“This is the first time we leave our little dog Lila with a dog sitter. We left her for a day and it was a fun day for her. Jada was amazing. She spoiled her and kept us updated with pictures and texts all day long. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so much Jada.”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics!

“Tyler and McKenna were awesome! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and they were very accommodating and took great care of him. Our other pup has a lot of energy and they gave her all the running/swimming she needed. And they sent picture updates which was very much appreciated. Will be going back to them in the future and highly recommend to anyone passing through”

“We attended a wedding over a weekend and Katherine and John were so welcoming to Zoey! We contacted them for a meet and greet and they were very agreeable. They were accomadating to our quirky schedule and very easy to work with. Zoey had a fantastic time at their home and we enjoyed the photos and updates sent to us . This was our first Rover experience and I’d say it was a success and hope to use Katherine and John again in the near future”
“Bento had a great time with Shannon! She was caring and spent lots of time with him. He can be shy with new people and he warmed up to Shannon immediately. She took him on lots of walks and even to get dog treats at the local coffee shop! She was very easy to coordinate with and sent lots of pictures of Bento. Would definitely use and recommend Shannon again.”
“Deborah and Edmund are a hidden gem that we are so glad we found! We recently moved to the area full time and needed to leave our 1.5 year old pup for a full weekend. We met Deborah and Edmund before the weekend, and immediately trusted they would take great care for our 35 lb mini goldendoodle. They had a dog of their own for 13 years and seemed very comfortable, confident, and competent caring for our dog which helped us not have a worry over the weekend we were gone. They sent us pictures and updates throughout the weekend of a happy pup that only confirmed he was in the best care and being treated like their own. We will absolutely be using Deborah and Edmund for any future boarding needs, and would certainly recommend them to anyone!”
“Anthony was a great host for our pup! He was extremely flexible in terms of our drop off time, and understood that we were looking for someone to just take Lucy for a half day rather than a full over night so that we could enjoy a day at the beach. Lucy genuinely didn't want to leave, and jumped out of the car to go back up the steps to the front door - so a glowing review from our pup! We'll absolutely look to use Anthony again when we're on the island, and have already recommended him to our friends and family in the area. Thanks again for looking after our pup!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped my family care for them. Over the years, I’ve had 7 dogs and 2 cats, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m available for evening check-ins and walks during the week, and I can also board pets on weekends. My schedule allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, as well as one friendly dog and a cat who is used to being around dogs and gets along well with them. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!

Pat is a wonderful caring sitter. Our Daisy is a rescue who has some anxiety issues. Pat managed her beautifully. After a couple days in the photos we saw a relaxed and happy dog! It was great to actually enjoy our vacation while she enjoyed hers! Thanks Pat for a job well done!
Both Lisa & Tim were great to my dog Oreo. Lisa sent pictures all the time and said she was good with her family and friends. Lisa and Tim went out of their way to help me when I needed it. I would recommend them to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet. They treat your pet like family. I would definitely go back to them from now on . Sincerely Donna
Patricia was absolutely amazing with my dog! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of her, and I could tell right away that she felt completely comfortable and at home with Patricia and her husband. She had the best time playing with Patricia’s dog, and it made me so happy knowing she was having fun and getting lots of love while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely great with dogs! 🐶💕
When my dog,Millie, first met Karrie I could have sworn she recognized Karrie as a long lost friend! Karrie welcomed my Millie into her home and sent me pictures of Millie looking extremely relaxed and tired from all her exercise. Karrie is a confident and capable dog sitter and very kind. This helped us relax and enjoy our Christmas ! We look forward to scheduling with her again! Thank you.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Absecon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Absecon is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Absecon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Absecon 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 Absecon 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 Absecon.
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.
You and your Absecon 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.
