“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dog over the weekend. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our furry family member was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which made us smile and reassured us that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”
“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.”
“This was the first time boarding my dog. Ashley was wonderful. She sent daily updates and pictures. My dog actually did not want to leave as she had so much fun. I will definitely use Ashley again.”
“Ashley and her family are awesome! This was the longest period of time I've been away from my pup, and I was really nervous about traveling without her. But as soon as I met the family I instantly felt better. This is a very warm home, and they treated Denali like she was part of the family. They were all so kind to Denali, and I could tell she was very comfortable with them. Thank you Ashley for such an awesome job with Denali!”

“Jenny (and the whole family) was wonderful with our husky Maggie. She provided so many updates, and I could see how happy and comfortable Maggie was from all the photos making out vacation completely stress free. They also sent funny videos and took Maggie on so many walks. The communication, care, and his overall kindness of Jenny and her family can not be overstated. Highly recommend for all your boarding needs 💯”

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.
