“Once again Emily has taken great care of our baby! My dog was happy, relaxed and clean when I brought him home, which really shows how comfortable and safe he felt with her. Thank you!!”
“Jason was great! He took such good care of our mini goldendoodle with separation anxiety. Loved getting picture updates, and she had the best time in his awesome backyard with the other dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“I knew the first time meeting Joanne that this was the place I felt good about leaving my dog. I have used Joanne 3 times this summer and have been very happy with the care my dog has received. Thanks Joanne!”

She sent me lots of pictures to let me know that my girl had adjusted well and was having fun with her and her family, definetly kept my mind at ease. Sharon gave her medication at the times that I had requested. She is reliable, responsible and caring! Thank you, Sharon”
“This is the first time I was boarding a pet. Amanda was so thorough and professional with the process. My cat shy at first easily fit in her house. Im soo pleased with the whole process from Hand off to pick up. My kitty was taken care so well. I would definitely use her again if the need arises. You cant go wrong. Loved how well she took care of my Roxie.”
“My Murphy was in exceptional care with Kimberly. In the photos she sent I could truly tell my baby was happy. She provided attention and love. Already planning using Kimberly in a couple months and probably even day visits beforehand. I am extremely satisfied with her service she provided.”
About: Experience caring for all types of dogs (breeds, sizes and ages). I have watched both indoor and outdoor cats and I understands the needs of both dogs and cats alike. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Pet care is something I truly enjoy making time for, and I’m committed to providing dependable care that fits both my schedule and your pet’s needs. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping in for a visit, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, follow all care instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. We will never take more than 2 pets at a time and have cameras as well to monitor 24/7. We own our home and have lots of space for your pet to enjoy!
“Barbara and James were great hosts for my pup! He had a blast playing on their beautiful property and I got great updates and photos during his stay. I will absolutely reach out to them next time for another booking!”
“Ivy was AMAZING with our new pup, Holly. Holly is a very curious pup and gets into things sometimes but she is a sweetheart. Ivy taught Holly the “stay” command and “paw” during her week stay with Ivy. Our Holly LOVED Ivy’s son and got along with their dog, too, which makes me really haopy”
“I had a wonderful experience. Kadie took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, attentive dog sitter! Thank you so much for loving my dog as if he was yours! 😊”
“Yuli and her family were amazing and welcomed Buddy into their family with open arms. We got tons of updates, pictures and videos and it was clear he was so happy and relaxed with them. I appreciate them so much and will definitely use her again!”
“Stefanie was very good at communicating Abby’s activities and adjustments in a new setting. throughout her stay. All went well. It was obvious when picking up Abby that she had adjusted well to Stefanie’s home and family. She also included some pictures of Abby during her stay which made me happy. I’m very comfortable to use Stefanie again.”
“Allison was great with my three furbabies. They were well feed and received so much love from her and her family. Thank you for taking care of them. She was super flexible and very kind.”
“Rob was really great boarding our golden retriever, Archie. You can tell Rob takes pride in being on Rover and being a good caregiver to pets. He took many pics for us, was responsive and even made sure that Archie was comfortable during a few big storms. Went the extra mile and even got extra bones etc. for him.”
“Highly, highly, highly recommend Joan! From the moment I dropped off my cat I was completely at ease because he immediately made himself comfortable, which he typically doesn’t do. Joan was great, and sent a lot of pictures and made me feel secured with leaving my baby with her! Thank you so much, Joan, and again I highly recommend booking with Joan!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alpha on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 939 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alpha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Alpha sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alpha landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alpha 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 Alpha.
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 Alpha 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.
