“Kristen was a wonderful dog sitter. Our 15 year old gal was well cared for. We received daily text and photo updates during her stay. We will definitely use Kristen again and highly recommend her to you!”
“It’s always hard to leave your pups but we felt completely comfortable leaving them with Rose for a few days. She is truly a dog lover and spoiled and pampered our two dogs. When she said she loved having them, I believed her. Look forward to using her again for a couple short trips we are planning.”
“Shelanne was great! Bagel enjoyed her stay and I appreciated the updates and Shelanne picking up and dropping off Bagel which made it much easier for me to handle my work travel on schedule. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“She was amazing! She made sure to keep me updated and even sent photos. My pup loved Eileen. She felt right at home despite feeling anxious. I will definitely be using her services in the future!!!!”
“Best dog sitter. Had to leave my fur baby for a few days at a time. Alison was the best with her. Sometimes I think my dog would have rather stayed with Alison. She had so much fun playing. Sad I moved away. Giving the highest recommendation!!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Ashley and her family were so welcoming and treated my dog like she was their own. Ashley also kept me update, responded quickly to my texts and sent a ton of pictures. I 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Twizzler had another wonderful stay with Bridget! From all the pictures and updates I received, I could see how happy and content he was throughout his vacation. It truly warms my heart knowing that my boy is so comfortable and well-cared for with Bridget. I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my boy . Highly recommend!”
“Janet & Ken were awesome with our girl Abby! Send us videos and photos. Made us feel completely comfortable right from the first time we met them. I highly recommend them!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Kara. This was our first time boarding with her and it was the best experience. She was responsive and kind! We met prior to my dog boarding with her and he loved her and her dogs. During his stay, she provided daily updates even with pictures which was a nice touch and she was very responsive if I messaged her. My dog was so happy to be there and seems like he felt at home which was important to me. When I picked him up, he was so tired from all the playing! Thank you so much Kara! Oliver would love to stay with you again.”
“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.”
“Carrie was wonderful! My dog, Murphy, seem to really enjoy staying at her home. Carrie sent me pictures throughout our time away showing me that Murphy was having a good time. This made us feel very good. Drop off and pick up were very easy and I would highly recommend Carrie to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter.”
“Steven was great with my 2 large pups! He sent pictures and was very quick with responding. It was my first time leaving them with a stranger so I was nervous but Steven made sure they were well taken care of and comfortable. He walked, played and hung out with them each day. He even went and bought them a little extra of their food when they ran out! I would 100% use him again!”
“Our little guy Dexter had a great time during his vacation with Brooklyn! She made us feel comfortable leaving him with her for a long weekend and she sent lots of pics and definitely made him feel right at home”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clayton on Rover is $30 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 .

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.
