“Margarita did an outstanding job taking care of our dog for a week. She’s extremely caring and treated our dog like part of her family. She communicated with me while we were traveling so I had regular updates and photos/videos. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again.”
“First time boarding our pup was nerve wrecking but Jessica sent tons of pictures and we knew that Noodle was so well taken care of and having the best time! Thank you!”
“As always, Nathalie and Stuart welcomed Rudy into their home. He seems to like going there, and always comes home healthy. They were nice enough to take him on short notice, and were able to extend his stay, which we needed due to a death in the family. Thank you Nathalie and Stuart!”
“Jacqueline, her husband and kids are such a wonderful family. They took excelence care of Loki. My fur baby is a very picky eater and Jacqueline not only went above and beyond to ensure that he would eat but always making sure he was confortable. Will definitely book again.”
“I am so grateful for Jessica! I needed a sitter at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating. Not only did she step in on short notice, but she also took such great care of my fur babies, providing plenty of attention and love. I received regular updates with pictures, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
“Kelly was fantastic with my two dogs! She was extremely responsive when it came to giving me updates on my dogs and answering my messages. Kelly was also great and very accommodating with one of my dogs who has some behavioral issues. Would definitely book with her again😊.”

We got frequent updates and they followed all of our instructions. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future! ❤️”
“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“Courtney & Sherwood Were great with my dog Eniko. I am very pleased with their service and attention while we were away from home. They offer a safe, comfortable environment for Eniko.

“Lorrie is awesome! It was my first time ever leaving my 5 month old puppy. I was a little skeptical at first by using this app but once I met her I felt comfortable right away. She has years of experience and answered all the questions I needed to know about Paisleys stay. She gave us updates, videos and pictures everyday while she was watching Paisley. Also makes sure any other dogs your dog will be around has all of their vaccines which is nice too. Going forward I will use her whenever I am away and she is available.”

She keeps him in a wonderfully structured, safe, and loving environment. Since being with Stacie, he is so well-behaved and extremely happy when he comes home. She even gives him little gifts when I pick him up, which is such a thoughtful touch.

If you want someone who will treat your dog like family, Stacie is the one!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carteret
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! ❤️🐾
Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. 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!
Jennifer is amazing! Our bay girl, Coco, absolutely loves her and her dogs. She gets so excited for doggy daycare and overnight stays when we go away on vacation. Jennifer truly goes above and beyond and takes such incredible care of her while we’re gone. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Coco is happy, loved, and in great hands. We’re so thankful we found her — and Coco is too!
Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carteret on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,692 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carteret. 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 Carteret 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 Carteret 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 Carteret 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 Carteret.
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 Carteret 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.
