“We left Mozart for the day with Bob while we visited with friends. Couldn't be happier! Mozart was safe and happy. We are thrilled with Bob and his services with our dog. And we plan to use him again in the near future!! ”
“Deena provides a warm and friendly environment with a huge enclosed yard perfect for pups of all kinds. She sent us pics at least once a day and kept us well informed about how our pup was doing. This was our first time using Deena and we will do so 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.
“Lexi and Prashanth were phenomenal sitters. They treated my dog Luka with incredible care, attention, and treats. I also appreciated their flexibility with my schedule during my work trip. Luka and I will certainly use them again in the future. Thanks again, y’all!”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Jane was wonderful with Lucy! She gave her lots of attention and understood her quirks. She even spoon-fed her when she didn't want to eat! They went on walks and cuddled on her couch. Not to mention the great picture and videos she sent me. When we were leaving, Lucy kept looking back to see if Jane was coming along 😊 Thank you Jane for taking care of my Lucy!!”
“Sean and Dakota were amazing! They took amazing care of our boy, Otis. We got regular updates, pictures and videos. We couldn’t be happier and knowing Otis was so well taken care of and having an absolute blast gave us peace of mind.”
“Carrie was great. She was patient with my dog who can be a bit nervous at times. Sometimes my dog will not eat while I am gone, but she will eat cooked eggs. Carrie was kind enough to cook for my dog so that she wouldn't starve herself. I've given Carrie 5 stars, but for some reason it won't register it. I highly recommend Carrie for your pet.”
“Our dog Mazie loves going to Ricks! She is an Aussiedoodle that needs a lot of exercise so it was important for us to find someone who would make sure she got her steps in. At Rick’s, she’s able to run the property to get out all of her energy. Rick sends us videos every day to share how Mazie is doing. We feel confident knowing mazie is in good hands when we are away.”
“Christina was great with Zeke! This was his first time staying with her, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was clear from the updates that he was comfortable, happy, and really enjoying himself. Zeke is a Labradoodle who absolutely loves attention, and it seems like he and Christina became great friends while I was away. I’m sure he’s already looking forward to spending more time with her! I’ll definitely be using Christina again in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Yiqi is the best dog sitter in this world! She had my puppy rebel for 5maybe 6 days and he came back potty trained and a totally new puppy. I recommend her and we will be choosing her as long as she is available. She sent pictures and videos daily. Walked him 3xs a day and kept him on his normal meal schedule. When we arrived she had natural dog treats and was very welcoming. This was rebels first time staying away from home and i genuinely can say he had an amazing job. Thank you Yiqi for taking care of rebs and giving him the love he deserves. 💛”
“Hugo and Bono had so much fun in Ericas big yard! Erica made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the day, and kept us updated on the dogs. Highly recommended!!”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”
“Patricia and her son were amazing hosts to Burberry! They took such great care of him during his stay and Patricia asked many questions about his diet, how he sleeps, etc... which showed me she really went above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a great host for their pet to choose Patricia!”
“Pamela and her family were the very best Dogsitter I’ve ever had! We have used many dog sitters both in our home and boarding and this was hands-down. The best experience. Pam Eila sent so many pictures and her whole family gave JoJo so much love. If I could leave 1 million stars, I would. Will use again! Thank you Pamela!”

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.
