“Bob was a great dog sitter for our dog. He was excited when we dropped her off and clearly adores dogs. He sent pictures every day of her with cute doggie quotes. Our dog clearly enjoyed her stay and was comfortable and happy while we were away. I would def recommend bob and we will surely have him dog sit again. 5 stars for sure.”
“Our dog buddy had a blast with Ken and his dog. Ken did a great job watching buddy. He sent pictures , took him on walks and let buddy run on his backyard. Highly recommend”
“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“JoEllen and her family are exceptional!! My Koda is just getting adjusted to her new life just coming from a rescue so she is not familiar with being about to roam free around a home. She was very excited. JoEllen took the time and extra care to make sure she was comfortable and enjoyed her weekend. This was not boarding. This was a doggie vaca. She went above and beyond. Which made me feel very comfort leaving her in her care. They are no doubt a family of dog lovers. Patient and caring. I would HIGHLY recommend.”
“We wanted to find a sitter in our neighborhood for when we are away. Jane was amazing and took in Siuy as though she was hers. I received constant communications and photos and loved how Siuy and Fancy zoomied with each other. My hope is that Jane would be willing to look after Siuy the next time we are away. I don’t think I can trust another sitter!”
“Patricia is a very warm and generous person. My pup had a lot of fun and I could tell from the pictures she sent me everyday while he was staying with her. Highly recommended! Thank you.”
About: I let sit for my sister and my god parents all the time! I spent time with their cats and dogs have taken care of them all! They love when they favorite human me watch them and we have a lot of fun together! I work 6am-2:30pm and home on the weekends and every evenings ! I would plan my schedule accordingly to make sure that they are well cared for and that they are not by themselves for any length of time! I would provide a great experience for all of who is involved! I look after them as they were my own and with care and love! They will be fed walked played with care and respect! I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!
“Yiqi took amazing care of my dog during a holiday, making sure he got plenty of playtime and attention in addition to his more basic needs like regular eating and potty breaks. Absolutely recommend!”
“Nicole was absolutely excellent. Provided tons of feedback, photos, videos, and lots of fantastic communication. She loved my pup just as if it were her own, which really put me at ease for my first stay with her. I couldn't recommend a better sitter for your pup!!”
About: Hi, I’m T! I have taken care of different ages of dogs and breeds as well. I have experience in walking dogs that pull and being able to redirect them to something else if told details about the pet fully. I also am very big on clear, direct communication so I will send tons of updates and pictures. I love walks, your dog loves walks.. so Me+ Your Dog = Happy Walks. I’m a morning person so I’m up and early, ready to start. I am also attending college so I’ll be free from Monday, Tuesday- after 12pm afternoon Wednesday- free all day Thursday- after 4pm afternoon Friday, Saturday & Sunday- after 12pm afternoon ^ my schedule is extremely flexible so don’t be afraid to just send me a message. I most likely will make it despite the schedule time listed. My home is fenced in all around with lock pads to prevent trespassers. I believe in upholding safety to the highest. I also have two seperate floors and a fenced backyard.
“This is the second time Megan and Bryan have taken in our two pups. They are just really, really nice people and very pleasant to be around. Our pups love going there to play with Boomer and Obie and were exhausted when they got home. Thanks again Megan and Bryan!”
“Pamela and her lovely family were perfect hosts for our pup! He got plenty of walks and cuddles, and she sent regular updates. Chester had a great time, and didn't even realize we were gone, ha!”

Rick and his property was perfect for our 6 month old Corgi. He has a massive property for your dog to run around safely, which is very hard to find in Monmouth County. He sent us multiple videos throughout the stay to keep us updated and at ease. You can 100% trust Rick to take great care of your dog, Highly recommend!!
Sean & Dakota were amazing with my dog, Kiki! They treated her like a queen during her stay and were super patient with her as she normally takes time to warm up in new environments. I received daily photos/videos and updates. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you, Sean & Dakota! You’re both the best!
The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Belford is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $64 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Belford 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 Belford 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 Belford.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Belford 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.
