“She took such great care of my boy! ❤️ From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax knowing he was in good hands. 🐾💕 It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treated him like one of her own. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust her with him again. We definitely found our dog’s new bestie! 🐶💗”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
“Geoff and Jenny were absolutely amazing with Lady. They understood it was her first time boarding at someone's house and they were loving and nurturing to her. I received photos and videos every day. Lady seemed very happy when I went to pick her up and I already booked my next boarding with Geoff and Jenny. I can't recommend them enough ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Marcy was the best at taking care of my dog when I was out of the state, She is professional and showed love for our dog baby. My Jordan has not been in better hands.. 100 % percent recommend..”
“Kinjal was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She was able to take her at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, so I could see that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Kinjal is caring, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
“This is the 2nd time Kun and his wife watched over Thor, and Thor never wants to leave. He had so much fun with them and their puppy Som. Thank you for always taking such great care of Thor and for always being incredible communicators!”
“Yuberkis took care of my pup for 4 days while we were out of town. She was great with communication, sending photos and we got our pup back clean and fresh! Would happily use her services again!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Enis did a great job taking care of our beloved Zero. I was nervous since I’ve never boarded for more than a night. But he sent lots of pictures and responded to my texts very quickly which kept me and my family happy. Everything worked out and I would recommend Enis and would use his services again.”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“First time Rover doggy parent and she made me feel very comfortable offered video call and pictures. Once I arrived very welcoming and made me feel safe with leaving him. Provided pictured of them all playing and sleeping and gave normal updates (he stayed over night)”
“Carolina was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She is so caring and attentive, and it really shows how much she loves what she does. She was responsive from the very beginning, keeping me updated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so reliable and thoughtful. I could tell Brady was happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and truly caring sitter!”

Our pup, Allora, had the best time with Desi and Mimi! We needed sitters last minute for almost 10 days and feel so lucky that we were able to find them. They made sure she fit in with all the dogs in their pack and remembered all of the little details related to her diet and preferences. Will definitely bring Allora back soon!
Brianna and her mom were absolutely wonderful with Dante! ❤️ They were so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable in their care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Dante was being treated like family. They kept me updated and made sure he was well taken care of throughout his stay. I truly appreciate all the love and care they gave him and would definitely trust them with Dante again. Thank you so much, Brianna and Mom! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend!
I absolutely loved the service! They took such great care of Bella, and I always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her with them. I really appreciated the constant updates and the photos they sent me, which gave me so much peace of mind. The space they have for the dogs is also perfect—comfortable, spacious, and designed for them to feel happy and at ease. I’m very grateful for how well they treated Bella and would definitely recommend them! 🐾❤️
Funda and her family took wonderful care of my 1 year old rescue pup! He had only been with us for 4 weeks and had just started to relax…but I was nervous to leave him overnight so soon. She sent pictures and updates- and I saw he was doing great- and I immediately relaxed. I saw Max was in good hands. I would absolutely leave him with her again 😎
Molly was amazing! She was super communicative before and during our dog’s stay. He got plenty of exercise and play and snuggles. It was such a relief knowing he was getting such great care while we were away. I’d absolutely recommend Molly and will definitely book again in the future!
Marcy did a wonderful job pet sitting my dog! She was caring and attentive. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Marcy was also reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving to care for their pets. Thank you so much, Marcy!
Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb
Fran was wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly kind and caring, and Nova took to her right away. Fran made sure Nova was eating well and kept us updated each day with pictures and messages about how she was doing. We felt completely at ease knowing Nova was in such great hands. We would definitely recommend Fran!
Valerie was great with my senior dog, Gerry, who she watched for about a week while I was on vacation. Between his age and his separation anxiety, Gerry isn’t always the easiest pup, but Valerie knew how to let him settle in — when to love him up, when to distract him, and when to give him space. She always updated me on how he was doing, and worked with me to find solutions if he seemed particularly grumpy. Gerry also has a bit of a complicated medication regimen, which Valerie handled perfectly. She clearly has experience will all types of dogs and their needs, and I felt confident leaving Gerry in her capable hands. I’d absolutely call Valerie again!
Katherine took fantastic care of our two pups! This was our first time boarding with her, so naturally a bit nervous, but almost immediately after dropping off we started getting updates about the dogs. Photos and videos, showing happy and well-cared for dogs with wagging tails! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our fur babies and putting us at ease!
Paloma was great! We had our fur baby on her hand for eight nights. Paloma updated everyday how he was doing during our travel with bunch of photos. Our puppy seem to be very happy on her hand. When we picked him up, he seemed to be so sad to be parted with her and refused to leave. He was healthy and happy when he came back home. I will definitely find her again when we have another occasion that we have to leave him behind.
Oscar was SO EXCITED to go over to Pete's house - I swear, he figured out what was happening 10 minutes beforehand, and waited by the back door for us to let him out. He flew into the house without so much of a backwards glance. Oscar spent several hours with Pete and when he came back home, he was happy and exhausted!! Little snuggle bug went right to sleep. Thank you for keeping him busy and happy, Pete!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clifton on Rover is $58.85 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 13,883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clifton. 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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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 Clifton 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 Clifton.
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 Clifton 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.
