“We had taken our dog to Ms.Rose for the first time and she had a fabulous time! Ms.Rose was so sweet and loving with our dog Pepper.

We will deff be using Ms.Rose again in the future!”

I was right.Will definitely use her again!!”
“Alyssa and Marcus are the absolute best! Sam always has a wonderful time with them and Zara! They are his second family and the excitement he has when we pull up to their home is unbelievable. It warms my heart every time.”

About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“My 1 year lab is always happy to spend the day with Raelyn. As soon as I get there to drop him off, he just jumps at Raelyn with happiness. He is always well taken care of by Raelyn. I highly recommend her.”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“We hate to leave Gracie but we felt secure that she was in good hands with Russell! Russell sent us updates daily with pictures and took great care of Gracie!! Gracie enjoyed the big yard and playing with a new dog friend! We are very grateful to Russell for taking such good care of Gracie while we were away!!”
“Kavya and her husband were both very sweet and we were lucky to have them watch our puppy for her first Rover experience since adoption. Kavya checked in with us to let us know how she was doing and sent very cute pictures. We felt very comfortable with our puppy in their stay. Would highly recommend!”
“Kevin and Vanessa were amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog overnight so naturally I was nervous about it. My nerves were immediately put to ease after meeting Kevin and Vanessa. Their knowledge and comfort in caring for dogs is evident. Clyde had a blast. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Monica & Conrad were wonderful caregivers to our pups while our family went on vacation. They sent daily updates & lots of adorable pics! By the communication, we can tell our dogs were given lots of loving care, treats, fun activities like walks/parks as well as lots of affection. Easy to book and reasonable. Our pups also enjoyed playing with their pup Pongo! We will definitely be booking them again in the future!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with Brody! We had a trip planned to Florida and ended up having to extend due to a snow, and she was so accommodating and flexible with the extra time we needed. It gave us such peace of mind during a stressful change of plans. She consistently provided updates and the sweetest photos and videos, which meant so much to us. Being able to see how happy and comfortable Brody was made it so much easier to be away. When we picked him up, he was as happy as if he had just spent the day at the dog park with all his friends, smiling, tail wagging, and clearly so well cared for. That says everything. 🐶 We’re so grateful for how attentive and loving she was with him. I would absolutely trust Stephanie with Brody again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years. I am also a firefighter for over 12 years and have worked with K9 s at work. My dog Tucker loves other dogs and is always looking to run and play. I work from home so I am always available to take care of your pets. My wife is also available most days to help as well! My dog sleeps in bed with us and is allowed on all furniture. We also allow our friends’ dogs on all the furniture and bed when we watch them. We have plenty of space for dogs to play in our yard and will be getting a fence very soon.
“Took great care of our Maggie and was very accommodating. I appreciated the meet and greet and taking the time to make sure our Frenchie was a good fit with her Boston Terrier and her home. Came and picked up our dog and then dropped off at the end of the stay, which was extremely helpful. Thank you Amy!”
“We are so thankful for Cherish and her family. They took care of Allen like he was one of theirs. We never felt more comfortable leaving our pup with someone and their family. I cannot recommend her more!”

Brooklyn was amazing as always! My dog Toby, who has separation anxiety, had a wonderful time even when he had a few whining episodes at night. She was so patient and sweet with him. When he came home, you can tell he felt loved the entire vacation. He ate, drank and slept like normal. He had a nice doggy vacation with Brooklyn and of course, we will definitely be booking again if needed. Thank you Brooklyn!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Clayton is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $42 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.

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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 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 , 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.
