“Kept me posted via text, pictures and videos. Eileen is very personable, and patient with Ginger, who is a little shy and takes time to get comfortable with other fur babies. Ginger smelled like a million bucks when we picked her due to the complimentary shampoo Eileen provided. Thank you ☺️”
“Thank you Mrs. Ashley Thank you and the children for taking care of my panda even though panda is very inperactive and energetic you had a lot of patience and understanding thanks for that God bless your beautiful family”
“As always, Adrienne was amazing with our dog George! This is the third time that we have had him stay with her, and each time we are so happy with the service that she provides. George was well care for and loved while we were away on a nine day trip. When our flight got canceled and we were stuck in another country for an extra day, Adrienne was more than accommodating. We will definitely be using her for our next trip.”
“I’ve boarded Murphy with April and her family 2x and it’s been a great experience. She always keeps me up to date with how he’s doing and he takes very long naps when he gets home - that tells me he had a lot of fun. Murphy is looking forward to his next stay!!!”
About: We have had dogs for more than 50 years, we miss the companionship of our 2 great Pyrenees that we had for 15 years. We have a fenced in yard and a 1 story house that is well suited for dogs on a rural and wooded property. I enjoy taking dogs for walks too, we have a sports complex close by that gives the dogs a 1 1/2 mile trip. We are both retired, I volunteer at a Christian camp several days a week, my wife is home every day. We are available every day of the week. The dogs can be outside as long as they want or be inside if that is their preference. Walks would be morning and or evening. We have an extra large dog crate if your dog prefers being in a crate in the evening.
“Kara sent us twice daily updates and pictures of our pup and gave her lots of cuddles and playtime. It made us so happy to know that our dog was loved and taken care of during our vacation. Our dog loved being a part of her family for the week.”
“She took my dog in last minute and Liz is awesome. My dog was super comfortable in her home. Love her dog Kylo! She kept me updated on a daily basis and my dog loves her ! Will use her again for future sitting needs !”
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone when you’re on vacation. That being said Jenny and her family took such good care of my puppy Teddy. When I saw the pics each day I could see the love she gives to her fur clients. I had a nice vacation knowing he was living his best life with Jenny. I highly recommend if you need a like home environment Jenny will not let you down. I definitely will only use Jenny in the future. Thanks Jenny Teddy will miss you💙”
“Our second time leaving our jack Russell mix terrier with Alyssa and Marcus and they were great. Our dog loves playing with their dog and they'd share photo updates throughout the days which we really appreciate. Highly recommend them as great dog sitters.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone that was not family. Cecily did promptly answered all our messages and made sure with pictures of Nixie to have us feel at ease. Nixie was well cared for by Cecily and we were so happy with her care. We will definitely book again.?”
“Janet and Ken are a very lovely couple, who have taken great care of our 2 yorkies while we were away on vacation. Janet and Ken are very likeable, warm, good natured and were very loving towards our yorkies, Happy and Melody. Both our yorkies fell in love with them and came back to us very content and at peace. So happy to have finally found such wonderful people to take care of our babies! We will always leave them with Janet and Ken in the future :) Thank you dogvacay for helping us find such an amazing family to take care of our babies!Forever grateful. Xoxo, The Chandani Family”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Deidre, her husband Chris, their kids, and their dog Cannoli! Our Ollie is afraid of most people and things, but they made him feel so welcome and he was calm and starting to open up during his stay with them. EXCELLENT communication from Deidre! We are so happy to have found another home for Ollie when we need one. Thank you so much for caring for our baby dog!!”
“Steven was great with my last-minute sitter request. He sent daily photos and updates, and when I picked Pepper up she was happy to see me but not desperate to leave. I definitely recommend and will call on him again!”
“Aubrey did another amazing job with my baby Rylee. I went on a trip to Europe and knew that my Rylee would be in safe loving hands with Aubrey. She sent me daily updates of how my girl was doing which made me feel good hearing about her day while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $30 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 2,712 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clayton. 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton 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.
