They got a lot of cuddles, outdoor time, and treats. Please don’t hesitate any further an book and future dog boarding with her.”

“Kun and his wife were simply amazing. He takes photos and videos of your lovely pet to keep you worry-free. It seems like my dog, Molly, prefers Kun's house over his own! I definitely recommend Kun for boarding. Thank you again!”
“Jessica was great with our pup and provided pics and updates throughout. Chestnut felt comfortable and had a good time playing with her pup! Will definitely be booking again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie! Leaving Nova with someone new while I was away was a little nerve-racking, but Stephanie made the entire experience so much easier. Her communication was outstanding — I received multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. What I appreciated most was how genuinely caring Stephanie was. It never felt like Nova was just another dog she was watching. She treated her like one of her own, and as someone who considers his dog family, that meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Nova because I knew she was being loved and well taken care of. I’m incredibly grateful to Stephanie and would absolutely trust her with Nova again. Highly recommend!”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“Mary was great with Miley! She sent me pictures and kept me updated! Mary has a very clean home and can host multiple dogs, which is perfect for Miley who loves to socialize! Miley came home super happy and slept a lot, so I know she got her play time in :). Thank you, Mary for keeping such good care of my dog!”
“Stephanie & Corey have been nothing short of awesome when caring for my 14 y/o chihuahua. They were excellent with communication, showed loving concern throughout his stay, and administered various medications - going as far as to report how it went and provide feedback on his state of being, which was always cozy! They are excellent and I recommend not hesitating when booking them.”
“Rafaelina was so fantastic with our Frenchie. She was excellent at providing daily updates and photos. It was so comforting to know that our "baby' was well taken care of while we were away. We would HIGHLY recommend Rafaelina and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Jada was excellent taking care of my dog Coco. She kept sending me photos, Even though Coco made a mess on her bed, I’m so sorry about that, Jada. But if I go away again, I would definitely leave my dog Coco with Jada again. Thank you so much for everything!”

“I had a fantastic experience with this dog boarding provider! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt completely at ease. William was kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”

She took great care of Cookies n Cream, sent pictures and updates everyday and gave him a Spa Day and washed his bed on the day I picked him up! He was so happy and smelled so good when I picked him up! Thank you Iliana for being the BEST dog sitter ever!”

Rhinesca is truly amazing! She has watched our two dogs multiple times and always takes such great care of them. Most recently, she cared for them for 10 days while we were away on our honeymoon, and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She communicated with us consistently, kept us updated, and made being across the world away from our dogs feel so much less stressful. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about them, and we always come home to two happy and well-cared-for pups. We trust Rhinesca completely and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.
We were very nervous about leaving our 3 year old mini-Golden, Cane, for the first time ever for such an extended period of time, however, Matt and Christianna made us feel very comfortable when we met them. While on vacation we received numerous photos and for a while we wondered if Cane would want to come home. It was obvious that he was having a great time and was being treated like he was a member of their family. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and cared for while you are away.
100/10 You know you’ve chosen the right sitter for your dog when they refuse to leave with you. Soni was consistent in sending over photos and videos to keep me updated that Milo was doing great in their backyard and having a blast without me </3 All jokes aside, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter
Lee was absolutely wonderful with Abby! She was so attentive, caring, and responsive throughout her stay. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent me every day—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Abby was happy and well cared for. Lee made sure Abby ate well, got plenty of walks, and received lots of love and attention. It was also such a great plus that Abby got along so well with her two Goldendoodles. Seeing how happy and comfortable Abby was with them made me feel so reassured. I’m truly so happy with the care Abby received. Lee is kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you so much, Lee, for taking such great care of my girl! ❤️🐾
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with her again! :)
Sunny was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and always has such a positive attitude. Communication was excellent from start to finish—she responded quickly to every message and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very thoughtful and accommodating when my plans changed, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Everything went smoothly, and I had zero issues throughout the entire booking. I could tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Sunny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"She was amazing. It was Charlie's first time staying with someone else for more than a week, but the daily photos and videos she sent kept me totally reassured. I really appreciate how warmly she looked after him. Because of her, I could focus on my work on the other side of the world with peace of mind. I'm so glad Charlie had a blast with her dog and another puppy there. I felt so lucky to leave him with her."
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!
Sooeun and her family are very kind and true dog lovers. Rest assured your dogs will be in very good hands and she sends lots of pictures and videos to you so you can see first hand how happy your dogs are in her care. I was a nervous wreck leaving. my dogs for vacation, but she put me at ease. My dogs seemed so happy I was nervous they wouldn't want to leave to come back home :-)
My dog spent 21 days in Yuchen’s house, and he was very happy with Yuchen’s family and her dog. Yuchen sent me pictures and videos everyday: my dog running in her large backyard, sleeping on the comfortable couch…. Yuchen is kind and responsible, highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 13,744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Closter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Closter 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 Closter 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 Closter.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Closter 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.
