“Lucas and Katherine took amazing care of our dog Cali while we were on vacation. This was the first time we've had Cali stay with someone she doesn't know and it went so smoothly. Lucas and Katherine truly treated Cali as their own dog while she was there - she got lots of love and cuddles on the couch, all of her walks and they let her sleep in bed with them!! They sent a ton of pictures that made me feel at ease and kept me up to date on their activities throughout the stay! I would absolutely recommend Lucas and Katherine and will be using their services again in the future!”

“Javier was super helpful and watched our puppy for an overnight stay when we came from out of town. He was flexible with the schedule and taking care of our puppy. He was responsive and communicated often. Our puppy was well cared for. Thank you!”


“I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)”

“We have continued to book boarding for our dog with Saty. Our experience with the level of care and attention they give to our dog is unmatched and we continue to be very pleased. Highly recommend Saty for loving pet care.”

“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”

“Nervana is too good to just leave one review! My babies stayed with her for the second time and let me tell you she is just such an amazing caring person. It was my doggie Quesos birthday while he was in her care and she went all out to make sure he had a great birthday! She got him and his brother birthday themed cookies and treats. That truly melted my heart. She is definitely the best doggie sitter I’ve ever known. My dogs have such a great time whenever they see her. Recommended her 110%.”

“Jennifer and her family were great with Rue! She sent lots of pictures and was super accommodating for a last minute booking. I’ll definitely be reaching out if I need someone to watch Rue in the future!”


“Victor and Lesly were the perfect sitters. They followed our instructions perfectly and provided lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely rebook the next time we’re out of town.”

“Argento loves staying with Jacqueline. She treats him as family. I will use her services whenever I need them. Happy knowing my boy is safe and well taken care of.”

“I highly recommend Primavera without any hesitation. She went over and beyond to ensure that my dogs were comfortable despite their ‘anxious and nervous’ behaviors. She was very patient with them. She also kept me updated with pictures and video. I will surely be a repeat customer.”

“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”

“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.”

“Jhajanny was awesome once again! I had a last-minute bit of home construction being done, and she was able to take my pets. They were cared for, and I got so many cute pictures of them!”

“This was the first time I used Rover, I must say my fur baby was so well cared for by Ziming. She is “super awesome”. Ziming always kept me updated on my lil guy and sent pictures of his days with other pets. My Max seemed so happy with Ziming. I would “Highly” recommend her to anyone that wants excellent care/service for their fur baby. This actually helped me enjoy my vacation knowing that my lil stinker was taken care of by a loving person. Due to Max’s care/service received with Ziming I’m locked in & will definitely use Ziming again. She has gain my trust & respect . I can write all day about Ziming lol. Just saying she’s awesome is not enough to express my gratefulness for the loving care she provided. Rover, Ziming is definitely a winner. Thanks Ziming, you’re the best A+ for Ziming .”


About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Carteret is $60

Melissa is Amazing!! I knew from the "Meet and greet" that my trip was going to be stress and worry free. She really cares and showed her love for my girl Simone making her feel to be part of her family. Her family as well are warm, kind and lovely people. Just like adding the icing on the cake making Simones stay more comfortable. I highly recommend Melissa and for sure will be using her again. My family Thanks you.. Billy

Katie was perfect. She communicated, sent pictures, and made me feel like I left my babies with someone who really loves animals. I was able to go on vacation in peace knowing they were well taken care of and given love and affection. I will definitely use her again in the future

Lovely family! Very professional and communicative! I loved getting constant updates and photos throughout the stay, and Kai had a great time. They were diligent about giving her medication on schedule and stayed on top of her (picky) eating habits without any issues. Would definitely book again!

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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Carteret on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,128 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Carteret. About 88% of Carteret sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
