“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“Shaun and his family take great care of our pup Skye, who always comes home happy and tired. I feel extremely confident that Skye is treated as a part of their family.”
“Jonathan was attentive in sending messages and keeping me informed about my dog. In addition he would send photos to show how my dog was doing. Overall it was a good experience dealing with Jonathan and my dog had good care.”
“We left both of our dogs for a weekend stay with Sriram and Rekha and they did an amazing job taking care of them. We got plenty of pictures and updates. The dogs came back very happy and tired from all the playing. Will definitely reach out to them in the future for other stays.”
“I found her... a GENUINE. CARING. LOVING DOG SITTER! Diana is literally a one in a million gem. Not only did she very kindly accommodate my last minute request - She took such good care of my baby Koko and sent me so many pictures and videos. She was so good with Koko that koko wasn't "anxious" to see me or desperate to leave. Honestly... koko could have stayed with Diana and her family for much longer had the choice been hers lol. It alleviates so much stress when you KNOW your dog is truly so well taken care of and loved on when you're away. I had that feeling with Diana. You'll be SO LUCKY to have her as your sitter. All her dogs are so kind and sweet and well behaved. You wont regret having your dog stay with her.”
“Karina was an amazing caregiver for our senior dog. She loved and cared for her like one of her own dogs. She maintained constant contact throughout the weekend with texts and pictures and Gertrude can not wait to stay with her again!”
“Michele is very responsive and also excellent with keeping us updated on how our 2 furry ones were doing. So glad we found her and our furry ones grew fond of her. We definitely recommend her to others and we will always contact her for our future stays.”
“Cherie was a wonderful caretaker for Chase! We were leaving him for the first time, and she put our minds at ease. We knew he was in great hands and had a lot of attention, care and love. She was great with updates, and prompt with replies to any concerns we had. We'd definitely use her again the next time chase is in need of care!”
“Marisol is excellent at taking care of my dog, Coco. She's reliable and accommodating, even on short notice. I really appreciate her help and would highly recommend her for pet care. You can count on Marisol anytime to take good care of your pet.”
“Absolutely exceptional care for my pup. She’s shy and very attached to us, but it was clear from the pics, videos, and at pickup that she felt right at home. She was well taken care of and I loved getting daily updates. Will definitely use them again.”
“Inna took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She would send me update pictures unprompted and my dog absolutely loved staying with her and her family. I highly recommend Inna to take care of your pets. =)”
“So happy we chose Chelsea to watch our pup while we were away for a week! We received pictures and videos and she updated us throughout the week with how our dog was doing. Riley (our dog) went on walks, played outside, and even attended a birthday party! It looks like she had a blast. Riley was well taken care of and came home very happy. We are so thankful we found a family for Riley to visit for the times we need to go away without a pup. Thank you so much! You won't regret booking with Chelsea! Highly recommend!”
“Dawn was great! It was our first time having our pup boarded and she couldn’t have been in better hands than with Dawn. Her yard and toy collection is every dog’s dream. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures which was so nice to have. Totally recommend!”
“We are so grateful for Jaina! She took wonderful care of BOTH my large pups on short notice. The minute my dogs arrived at Jaina's house for our meet and greet, they were sniffing every inch of space. Jaina was warm and welcoming, allowing them to run all over both floors of her home and explore her huge backyard. I could see she truly understood dogs and knew they would be safe and happy with her. Jaine provided my high energy dogs with lots of play, stimulation, and cuddles. She was patient and nurturing and provided me with updates, photos and videos. One of my pups was wailing and refusing to get in the car when it was time to leave Jaina's. What a wonderful experience!”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“Todd was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever and took such great care of him during the five days we were away. It was clear that he treated our pup with genuine love, kindness, and attention, which meant so much to us. Leaving your dog in someone else’s care is never easy, but Todd made the entire experience feel comfortable and stress-free. Our dog requires medication, so finding someone responsible and trustworthy is especially important to us. Todd handled everything without any issues and gave us complete confidence and peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Thank you, Todd, for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Wow! What an exceptional experience. Melanie was so lovely and attentive. Our large breed dog Jerome had major surgery so we reserved Melanie months in advance for Thanksgiving travel. She was super accommodating, visited Jerome prior to the reservation and invited us to visit her home to assure us he’d be in a secure space as he continued his healing. She regularly sent adorable photos of Jerome to show us he was content. Melanie is a GREAT caregiver, not just a dog sitter. She’ll always be our first choice in the future.”

Diane was absolutely amazing with our two dogs Debra and Dexter. She treated them like they were her own. She went out of her way to make sure the dogs were comfy and well taken care of. She is a true animal lover and gave me great advice on what to feed the pups. I highly recommend Diane for dog sitting.
Christina did an excellent job taking care of our Cavalier, Stefon. She sent daily picture and video updates, and made Stefon feel as part of the family. She went above and beyond, even bathing Stefon when he got dirty playing outside (or peed on himself because of his long hair). Would highly recommend her if you’re considering boarding your dog!
Michele was wonderful with our hound mix, Wendy. We were apprehensive as we had never used a pet sitter before, especially since we were going to be away for two weeks. Wendy could be a handful, but we were kept informed about her days with numerous reports and pictures. It really seemed like our Wendy had her own little vacation! We would definitely use Michele again and would recommend her to others!
Audrey was the best sitter we could’ve asked for. I got stuck on vacation due to cancelled flights for 3 extra days, and Audrey allowed me to extend my dog’s stay with her with no issue at all. When I finally picked my dog up he was very happy/comfortable and I could tell he was taken care of. I would highly recommend her service to anyone!
Riti was absolutely wonderful! She watched our girl, Lady, for a few days and it was a great experience from start to finish. Riti was super communicative leading up to and during the stay, sending tons of photos, which I really appreciated. Riti took care to follow the long list of care instructions I left with her as well. I would highly recommend Riti, and I will definitely be using her again in the near future! 💖🐶
Alka is my pup’s and my new favorite person! I am so thankful I found someone I trust to take care of my Yorkie, Clover. As the owner of a recently adopted 8 year old Yorkie with a few health issues , leaving him with someone new was stressful. Alka immediately put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. He looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved❤️. I couldn’t recommend Alka more highly.
Mike did an outstanding job caring for our two Goldendoodles while we were away. From the start, he was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were comfortable and happy. He followed their routine closely, paid attention to all of their needs, and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and plenty of pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Most importantly, our dogs had an amazing time with him. It was obvious from the updates and from how happy and relaxed they were when we got home that they were well cared for and genuinely enjoyed their stay. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care Mike provided and would not hesitate to book with him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter.
Rex always enjoys his time Trevor, Bydette, and their kids. He loves being in a family home, getting to meet and play with a few other dogs, and get outside in their grassy yard. We feel confident while we're away that he is not only cared as an individual pup, but he is enjoyed by the family as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cedar Knolls is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $67 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 13,348 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cedar Knolls. 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 Cedar Knolls 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 Cedar Knolls 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 Cedar Knolls.
<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 Cedar Knolls 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.
