“Shelanne is wonderful. From the moment she met Finn, I knew he was in good hands. She is caring and loving and Finn had a great time roaming her big fenced in backyard. Shelanne was so accommodating with our Finn who has some special needs. We will definitely use Shelanne in the future!”
“SO thrilled with our pups’ recent stay!! This was our first sitter experience. Ashley and family welcomed our dogs into their home and cared for them as if they were their own. Pictures and feedback provided often which was great to help to relieve ours minds about being separated from our fur babies. Can’t say enough about how great their stay was!! Would give 10 stars if I could!”
“Kristin always provides updates on our elderly girl, Mya. She gives Mya meds when needed. And she tries hard to find ways to get our picky girl to eat her food. We can relax while Mya is in Kristin’s care know she is a great caretaker!”
“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!!”
“Eileen took great care of my boys while I was away. She kept in contact via texts, pictures and videos throughout the week. This was important since I was able to keep my mind on a nice relaxing vacation. When I picked up the boys, she had groomed them. They looked handsome and appeared to have a good time. I would definitely book with Eileen again. She really cares for my puppies :)”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”

“Kara took great care of our Gilly guy while we were away. She sent updates morning and night with details about how his day/night went along with pictures.

I was afraid she would be sad since this was the first time we spent more than a couple of days apart, but Jenny and her family took such great care of her that she was able to get comfortable almost instantly. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Thank You Raquel for taking care of Harper on such short notice. My husband was hospitalized and I wasn’t able to take care of Harper on my own. Raquel responded quickly was able to take Harper on as a new client pup and did a great job. Harper loved the time she spent with Sadie running around in their back yard. Thank you for all you did for my family and Harper. You were a life saver when I needed it. We will definitely be utilizing Raquel again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,776 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.
