“Second time using Jacqueline and another wonderful experience! One of the few I trust watching my babes for a few days. She sends lots of updates and is so easy to reach. We just know our dogs are on vacation too. Love all the outdoor time they get while they are there. Thank you so much for hosting them again!”
“I was thoroughly impressed with how everything went with our booking! Communication was especially excellent and our dog loved his stay. We got updates and photos daily. Needless to say we will rebook with Courtney & Sherwood when we need another dog sitting.”
“Michael was amazing! Jack had a blast spending the weekend with him. He went on nice long walks, got to run around the park, and Michael even took Jack to the holiday parade. I loved this for Jack as he loves to be active and outside! Michael sent great photos of their walks, eating treats, and hanging out watching tv (which Jack also loves!). Michael definitely treated Jack like his own and that was the best part! He works from home so he’s always there to keep your pet company and he is super flexible. He is also very responsive! I’ll definitely be rebooking. Jack has definitely found a new bff! ?”
“Hi Katie was not our first choice but as they say God works in mysterious ways our first choice cancelled at the last minute and we proceeded with the booking process all over again. It was quick and simple! She Met Koko and Karol G.We left the states and let me tell you she texted us everyday pictures of our beloved fur babies and each day they looked happier and safe! Thank You Katie! You were awesome!”
“Busta is always great in Vanessa’s care! This was our third time using her sitting services and we really appreciate her interactiveness with us during Busta’s stays. He is well taken care of and always happy!”
“Stacia is a very kind & very professional dog boarder. She also has a very pleasant personality. I received daily pics and videos of my 2 dogs while I was on vacation for 5 days. Stacia kept me inform with how the dogs were doing day to day, their eating habits how healthy their stool was and how comfortable they were just being at her location. I really appreciated how clean/manicured and dog friendly her backyard yard was for the dogs to run & play. I would absolutely use her services again & recommend her to a friend or family member that needs boarding. 10/10”
“First time leaving my 1 year old maltipoo at a sitter and Bhavani proved to be an excellent host. She was very responsive and accommodating with my boarding request as I had to travel out of town. She sent frequent updates with videos about Flynn which was very assuring. Highly recommend her!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. She kept us informed throughout our getaway and sent photos and videos, including updates from the park when she took our dog for a walk. We really loved the way she cared for him and kept us updated on his well-being. We highly recommend her!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”
“First time boarding our pup was nerve wrecking but Jessica sent tons of pictures and we knew that Noodle was so well taken care of and having the best time! Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“In the three years owning Chuck and Chester, we've never had to leave town without them. Then on July 4th I received some news that forced me to leave town for a several days. I contacted several kennels in our area and all are booked or aren't answering. Fortunately a neighbor of ours recommended Nathalie through Rover. I reviewed her page here on Rover and then I left a booking request and within minutes she replied. "Sure just bring them by tomorrow morning." So the next morning, doggy bags packed, I drop them off at Nathalie's home, and she immediately took them for a walk. For the next 4 days I was sent pictures and assurances that all was fine for my two fur babies. I eventually picked up two very happy dogs. Communications with Nathalie were always easy and prompt. I can't recommend her enough, especially considering how she came to my rescue during a very difficult occasion.”
“Gurdeep took great care of our fur-baby. This was our first time boarding Hailey and I was so relived after speaking to Gurdeep during our meet and greet. She is very warm and nice and has wonderful loving home with 3 lovely kids. She kept us posted throughout Hailey's stay. We will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her!”
“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”
“We are so grateful for the great care Jacqueline and her family took of our pup for a whole week. She communicated with us daily to give us updates and sent us pictures and videos and reassured us she was doing great. She came home so calm and happy. We would absolutely book with her again.”
“Dhruvit has watched our dog several times and she is always well taken care of. He is organized, responsive to any questions or requests and sends many photos. I would continue to use him in the future.”
“Natalia and David are amazing! I have an unpredictable rescue pup and he was SO happy staying with them. I was so relieved. My dog had fun running around the back yard, going for long walks, and playing several times a day. Thank you for showering my boy with so much love ❤️”

We were very happy with Vanessa watching our dog Pepper. Pepper really enjoyed herself. Pepper came home very happy so I know she was well taken care of with Vanessa. Vanessa is a very caring person. Just having a conversation with her you know that she is a very compassionate person and caring. We will definitely book Pepper again with Vanessa. Thank you for caring for our Pepper!
Can't thank Dhruvit enough. He and his household has a wonderful environment for our fast and festive Phoebe. We received many photos of her having fun and playing well with other dogs while we were away. Couldn't be happier thanks to Dhruvit's attention and playful spaces. He's our number Sitter and look forward to booking Phoebe's next stay with him in the near future. Thank you, Dhruvit!!!
I had a wonderful experience with Sudhesh for my dog. He took such great care of my dog and made him feel completely at home. Sudhesh ensured he got regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and shared photos diligently, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was in caring hands. I highly recommend Sudhesh to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy and loving person to care of their dog.
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Avenel on Rover is $68.45 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 13,546 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Avenel. 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.
95% of Avenel 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 Avenel 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 Avenel 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 Avenel.
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 Avenel 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.
