“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.”
“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“Yanina was great! She kept us informed and updated throughout our puppy's stay with her, and was very flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Our puppy had a lot of fun and exercise while with Yanina and her dog, Stella. Would definitely be back for future boarding needs!”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“As always, Stacia goes above and beyond! My dog loves going to her and loves being in her home and enjoying the cuddles and backyard freedom. She stays in communication giving daily updates and pictures of him enjoying himself or just relaxing. Thank You Stacia! He'll be back soon!”
“Kate was great and was so flexible with our crazy holiday travel plans. She sent frequent photos and assured me my dog was doing just fine. She was communicative, prompt and was a total life saver for us! Would absolutely book with Kate and her sweet family again.”
“So grateful to have found Natalia to watch our dog Tino. This is our second time booking her this month . She continues to be responsive and trustworthy. Thanks again Natalia !!!!”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“I was so happy i fpund Bonnie and her husbad , they really took care of my 2 dogs. They treat them as their own. They give them extra care and attention. I highly recommend Bonnie. Nothing to worry if you leave them at their care. Will surely leave my babies again .”
“Jacqueline is by far the BEST doggie sitter I have ever been to. She not only cares for your dog or dogs as her own that she truly goes above and beyond for them. I dropped him off the other day and told her he was tired so she put him down for a nap. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world I would trust other than my family with my dog except Jacquline and her family. They are also kind and compassionate and I highly highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“We were very pleased and felt at ease knowing that our puppy was well cared for. We really appreciated the pictures and updates during his stay. Would definitely be returning.”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Courtney & Sherwood were the absolute BEST! They came through for us last min and kept Champ for a week! I received pictures and updates EVERYDAY! Both were friendly, professional and made communication simple & easy ! I definitely will be using them again because it’s really hard to find great people that treat your dog like family !”
“Lucas & Katherine kept us updated and treated our Bentley with nothing but love and care! We look forward to having them as our new sitters! They are amazing!”
“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

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.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Carteret
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carteret on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,691 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.
