“Gurdeep, is a true gem. Her and her family has been the first and so far the only other family outside of mine who has watched my dog Rocky. She communicates effectively and is super accommodating. I truly do trust and appreciate her; and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.”

He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!”

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!”

Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!”

“Bill is such a fantastic sitter!! If you're looking for a detail-oriented sitter that does his utmost to make your dog feel comfortable while giving your dog the best of care, please go to him! We left our elderly english bulldog, Lechon, with him for a week. Bill took great care of him. He gave Lechon filtered water, and helped him up the stairs as Lechon struggles with climbing sometimes. Our Lechon doesn't know his limits, so Bill also made sure to limit his play so he had time to breathe and not overexert himself. Bill really kept an eye on Lechon, and we're very pleased with the level of care and consideration Bill had with our elderly bulldog. I highly recommend Bill as a sitter. My family and I will definitely be returning to him in the future for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for everything Bill! Lechon looked so happy and healthy in the picture updates, and upon our arrival. It truly feels like you cared for him as if he were one of your own.”

I really appreciated the communication and updates, and I never once felt like I had to worry. When I came back, my dog was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely have her sit for my dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.”

This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾

Our sitter was absolutely amazing! We had so much unexpected chaos during our trip from our original sitter canceling, to our flight being rerouted to Cleveland because of a storm. Through all of it, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. She made a very stressful situation so much easier for us by taking such great care of our dog, Lola. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her kindness, patience, and understanding throughout everything that happened. She truly went above and beyond, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby! ❤️🐾

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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Avenel on Rover is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $85 per night. 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.

There are 14,032 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Avenel. About 88% of Avenel sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
