“Jenny and her husband are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had! One of our pups got a little sick, and he they took every precaution to make sure he was okay. From calling the vet, sending us updates, and sleeping with him at night to make sure he was okay, they treated our dogs just like they were their own. They really put us at ease and we always know that our dogs are in good hands when they go to visit!”
“Did a great job to make my dogs feel comfortable and at home. One is kinda skiddish but he warmed up immediately. Would recommend to others and book again for sure.”
“Words cannot express the appreciation of how Kelsey and Conor took care of Gracie. I was so nervous about leaving her, since this was the first time leaving her and going on vacation. They sent a lot of updates and pictures! This put me at ease so I could enjoy my family vacation. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their dog stay with them!! Gracie really loved staying there and I think she really misses being with them and their dogs! If I need to leave Gracie again it will definitely be with Kelsey and Conor!! Thank you both for looking after my baby and taking such great care of her!!!!!”
“I can’t begin to describe what a pleasant experience this was all around. My partner and I have had the same Rover doggy-god-mother for about 2.5 years and she recently moved to NYC and we were desperate and scared to find a loving caretaker for our pups. Sarah and Anthony are the definition of doggy heaven! We were so anxious and they were willing to do a meet and greet with us two weeks before the scheduled overnight stay! It was an instant click! Their apartment is beautiful and the yard is a godsend! During the actual stay Sarah was amazing with updates and pictures that really helped to ease our anxiety. The at the end of the stay, when we thought it couldn’t get better, they came home with a letter from the pups detailing their visit and their experience! Wow! Beyond impressed with Sarah and Anthony! Bambina and Bruno will be back very very Soon! Thanks for existing you lovely ”humans” as the dogs call ya on the letter (haha!)”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“Ryan and his family took such great care of our girl. We got daily if not multiple updates and photos! We will be using Ryan and his family moving forward for all of our dog sitting needs. Book with Ryan and you won't be disappointed.”
“We left our dog for the first time for an overnight visit. She has anxiety & I was nervous to leave her. I received photos and updates that she as doing ok & I was able to relax. She was well taken care of and is a happy girl. Thank you Kevin & Vanessa!”
“Stephanie was great - we did a meet and greet and then had our kiddos with her for the weekend. They came back happy and tired from all the fun. She was communicative and super friendly. Will absolutely book her again. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Melissa was amazing! She boarded my dogs for a few days, and the entire process was easy, straightforward, and stress-free from start to finish. She was kind, friendly, and clearly cared about making sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. As a child I cared for cats and now as an adults I care for my dogs and my family and friends dogs as well. Love taking dogs for walks and to the park. Experienced in bathing dogs as well. I work full-time as a teacher, but I am available on weekends to stop in and check on your animals or take them for a walk. I am willing to watch animals in my house over the weekend as well. I have two for babies that will keep yours company. Plenty of space for them to play in and out side of the house. No fence but I have a lead, and I am happy to take many walks a day.
“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”
“Nicole and her husband were fantastic! You can truly tell they care about the dog they are watching and aren’t just doing a job, updates were frequent and pictures were an added bonus! I was very nervous as a first time rover user, but now I am confident in the care my pup received and will 100% be booking again!”
“Samatha provided excellent care to our pups. She sent plenty of updates and was flexible whenever we had questions or concerns. The dogs seemed comfortable and came back home happy. Would absolutely recommend booking with Samatha.”
“She took my dog in last minute and Liz is awesome. My dog was super comfortable in her home. Love her dog Kylo! She kept me updated on a daily basis and my dog loves her ! Will use her again for future sitting needs !”
“We felt that April was very safe and super loved by John and his family. We loved getting all the updates every day, it was such a peace of mind. We would highly recommend John to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“SO thrilled with our pups’ recent stay!! This was our first sitter experience. Ashley and family welcomed our dogs into their home and cared for them as if they were their own. Pictures and feedback provided often which was great to help to relieve ours minds about being separated from our fur babies. Can’t say enough about how great their stay was!! Would give 10 stars if I could!”

I couldn't be happier with the care Yajaira provided for my dog, Baxter. He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It's such a relief to know you can travel without worrying about your pet. I highly recommend Yajaira and would gladly trust her with Baxter again.
I cannot thank Stacey and her boyfriend enough for taking such good care of our 10.5-month-old puppy while we were out of town. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. Our pup had such a good time playing with her dogs and I will absolutely book again! Thank you again, Stacey!
Danielle was amazing! You can tell she absolutely loves animals. We could tell just from meeting her that Cannon and Chup were in good hands when we boarded them. We requested to board last minute and she was great about it. Danielle sent plenty of updates as well.
Adrianne was wonderful with Lucky! From the very beginning, I really appreciated how available, responsive, and communicative she was. She kept us updated on Lucky throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like he was in great hands the entire time. I felt very comfortable leaving Lucky with her. I would definitely recommend Adrianne to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet, and I would absolutely leave Lucky with her again!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
Kaila was such a wonderful sitter for my girl GG. She made sure GG was the only dog she was watching because GG can be picky about other dogs. She sent me daily updates, even shared concerns about GG licking herself sore at her elbow, and had it treated and healed before I even got back. I could tell from the photos that GG was happy and felt comfortable and well cared for. She provided pick up and delivery service as well which was super helpful in the middle of travel planning. I hope any time I plan a trip, Kaila is available and able to take care of her while I am away.
Lynn was the absolute best. I have never left my dog overnight with someone other than family, and I trusted her right after meeting her. My very anxious dog loved her. I feel so lucky to have found someone like Lynn. She played with him, walked him many times, welcomed him right into her home like he was her own dog. We are so appreciative of having such a positive first experience with leaving Ty and will absolutely be using her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Blackwood is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $56 per night. On Rover, 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,033 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blackwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Blackwood 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 Blackwood 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 Blackwood.
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 Blackwood 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.
