“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
“Gail took great care of sully while we were away. She is very caring and our dog seemed to feel very comfortable and relaxed in her home. She is very responsive and provides good updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if sully was doing ok.”
“Charles and his wife were absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away on my cruise. They took such great care of her that I never had to worry about how she was doing while I was gone. They kept me updated throughout the trip and really made her feel like part of their family. It was obvious that she was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog, and I would definitely use them again in the future. 10/10 experience!”
“Jonathan took care of my two dogs for 6 days. Overall everything went really well, from communication, to drop off and pick-up, to caring for them daily. He sent pictures regularly to let me know how they were doing. My dogs came back home happy and healthy.”
“We could not be more enthusiastic and thankful to Jillian and her family for caring for our puppy for one week. We were given regular updates with photos and videos. It’s like leaving your loved pet with family. Thank you a million times.”
“Diana is the best & always my go-to sitter! She loved my dog Bruce like he is her own :) the extra special care she gives is much appreciated, will definitely continue to book with Diana”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Samantha was wonderful with Nellie! She sent updates throughout the day, gave my dog her meds and nellie settled right in! She was also very flexible with scheduling, due to an unexpected winter storm. Will 100% use Sam again to watch Nellie!”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Bobbi was the absolute sweetest! I get very anxious leaving my cats to travel but I felt at ease the whole trip. She truly takes care of them as her own and sends updates whenever you ask. Highly recommend!!”
“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! 💖🐶”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
“I almost don’t want to leave a review because I don’t want this secret out - ha! It’s hard to find someone I really trust with my beloved dog, but I definitely have. Dawn is wonderful and it’s a paradise for small dogs at her house. I love that I don’t have to worry about my little 5 pound dog being trampled by large dogs. She sent me daily pictures and updates and I felt so comfortable with my dog in her care. She treats all the dogs like her own. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Would definitely recommend Raveena and James! They were so good with Peach and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them while I was away. They were also really communicative and sent lots of updates/pictures!”
“Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!”
“Amanda and her husband Max took such great care of our two dogs while we were away for a weekend! Amanda sent frequent updates, lots of pictures, and I could tell our dogs felt right at home! Would definitely recommend Amanda for any care needs!”
“Steven and Tracy were amazing with our two pups! We have never had them stay at someone else's place, especially new people to them with other dogs, and they handled it very well considering the huge change. Tracy was super kind and very responsive through the whole weekend, sending photos and videos along with feedback on how they were to them directly. Eventually they warmed up to everyone, and overall we're so grateful they were able to have this experience with you and your family of pups. We absolutely will be booking again!”
“This is the 2nd time we left our furry baby with Carmela (for two weeks this time) It is like dropping Buddy off at a friend’s house. She is wonderful. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he is doing. If he was not eating properly, she checked on what she could do to make him eat. Her dog also easily gets along with other dogs.”

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!
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.
