“Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!”
“Bonnie was available for a first time, last minute boarding request and the whole experience from a quick meet and greet onwards was great. Very reassuring to have Luke stay at her home. He was comfortable for sure. Thank you!”
“Dhruvit and his wife took great care of my 1 year old Leo. They shared regular updates and were able to manage him very well. I would definitely book Leo’s stay with them again.”
“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”
“An absolutely wonderful experience! Leo was treated like family and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. The communication was excellent, with updates and pictures that made us at ease. We truly appreciate the love and attention given to Leo. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laxmi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person and a place 😊”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“I am so glad I found Stacia! She communicated with me very well and was flexible with my last minute changes. I left my pup with her for a while day and she made sure to send me lots of pictures, video call and also gave me updates through out the day. She made sure my pup got lots of excercise and outdoor time. I could see that she genuinely loved dogs and cared about my dog's well being. This was my pup's first experience at a sitter and we had a wonderful experience. I would be very comfortable leaving my pup again in her care.”
“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 ❤️”
“I believe my pups had the most comfortable and wonderful stay at Katherine and Lucas’s! They made their home so cozy and welcoming for my dogs, who are big couch potatoes, that they felt pretty secure in a new place. Not to mention their one family (of dogs!) at a time policy which works great for anxious dogs like mine who are insecure around other dogs. Lucas and Katherine are a great couple who genuinely seem to love dogs and they sent me daily updates and photos. After a few not so stellar experience with other sitters on this app, I feel like I’ve found the perfect caregivers for my fur babies! Highly recommend!”
“Satyajit took great care of my dog Scooby! This was my first time boarding Scooby and Satyajit provided constant updates with photos and videos of my dog which put me at ease!”
“Small dog paradise. I went on an Incredible vacation and my dog did the same! He sunbathed by the pool, made little doggy friends, and even did a craft project. There were tons of pictures and lots of communication so I never worried.”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“Our Winston had a great day with Marlene! She was very attentive to him and had excellent communication before and during his stay. We are looking forward to having Winston stay with her again in the future!”
“Jackie took great care of my pup while we were away for the weekend - great communications, videos and pics that kept me informed and he clearly had a good time hanging with her and her sweet dogs!”

Dhruvit took good care of Cooper. He was sending multiple updates throughout the day and was very responsive with questions or messages sent to him. When Cooper came home, he was his normal usual self. Cooper seemed to have fun at his house with all of the members of the family as well as the other dogs present there.
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.
Lovely family! Very professional and communicative! I loved getting constant updates and photos throughout the stay, and Kai had a great time. They were diligent about giving her medication on schedule and stayed on top of her (picky) eating habits without any issues. Would definitely book again!
I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!
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!
Overall, had a good experience with Peter! Aside from a minor communication issue, Peter was a good doggie sitter for Yumi. He appeared to follow instructions regarding feeding/walking and kept me updated throughout Yumi’s stay. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and Yumi seemed to enjoy her stay. Would book with Peter again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Avenel on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,507 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.
