“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”
“Lucy was awesome! Always friendly and kept in communication at all times with pictures and videos of our fur baby. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs. Thank you Lucy!”
“Jesus was a great caretaker for our dog. We definitely found our guy for the future. He is a kind hardworking family man who takes his business seriously. Jesus kept us up to date with Hudson and was very accommodating. You can tell he has experience with all shapes and sizes of all kinds of dogs too. Thank you again Jesus! We will be back. 🙏”
“Kate & Juan were absolutely wonderful. They loved our dog and gave her more attention then I think she's ever received. She's an extremely energetic 8 month old puppy. I know how much work it is to tire her out and they succeeded. They kept in constant contact with us as we were on our honeymoon in Mexico. We will definitely be bringing Crystal over again (even for a visit) if they will have us. This was such a weight off our shoulders being able to leave our most vulnerable family member with people who we knew would love and cherish her. I am forever grateful.”
“This is the 2nd time I've left Oliver with Cathy and I picked him up happy. This time drop-off was rather late at 9 pm, but I do appreciate that she would rather be home to receive him and ensure he gets properly introduced to other dogs. As before, Cathy sent daily photo updates, which is really great. Thanks!”
“Nala was very well taken care of, receiving so much love and attention during her stay. They provided detailed updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. They took her on plenty of walks, and their kids were so kind and sweet to Nala. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and attentive sitter. We would happily book with them again.”
“I cannot day enough wonderful things about Alexa. My chihuhuahua Minnie has severe anxiety that leaves her very fearful of loud noises and new people. For that reason, I try to use one sitter for her whenever I travel. Her sitter of two years moved out of state and it was time to find someone new. Alexa suggested we do a trial night before we booked a longer stay. I am so happy we found her because Minnie did not have any anxiety issues with Alexa. She was immediately comfortable with her and made great use of her fenced in backyard. Alexa sent me several updates with photos throughout the day which put my mind at ease! I’m so happy we found someone with whom my baby feels comfortable with. We are already looking at the calendar for our next booking!!”
“Charmaine is great!! Friendly, professional, great communication. Our 10-yr old chihuahua mix was in good hands and we received daily updates and photos, which were much appreciated!!! Thanks Charmaine!!!”
“Riti was amazing with Maggie! Riti's dog Sky is adorable and very friendly. We loved hearing about Maggie and Sky's adventures. They became quick buddies. Riti sent lots of a pics and was always quick to respond to any texts. Maggie came home happy and looking great. Thanks Riti!”
“Hope did a great job boarding our dog, Peggy, while we were away! Peggy is often anxious with sitters, but Hope kept her calm and comfortable throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. Definitely recommend and will use again! Thanks so much Hope!”
“Danae was awesome! She kept us updated with how Kirin was doing thru lots of pictures and videos. I can tell Kirin definitely loved her and we realized he’s even more socialized now, she’s so nice and experienced, definitely will recommend Danae to all my friends who have pups!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Binta! She was wonderful, incredibly attentive, and overly accommodating throughout Laila’s entire stay. I absolutely loved the picture updates she sent me—it was such a relief to see Laila so happy and well cared for. Binta made sure Laila was comfortable and treated like family. It’s amazing to find someone so trustworthy and flexible. I’ll definitely be booking with Binta again!”
“Maria is adventurous and has been great both times our pup stayed with her. We got consistent updates on their activities. Maria has a big heart for dogs and we saw that in her care of our pup. ❤️🐕”
“Another great stay with Rafaelina! Always happy tails and wags for the time together. And we greatly appreciated Rafaelina's flexibility to accommodate a longer stay, when our plans changed. Highly recommend and would stay again and again. Thanks!”
“Monica took excellent care of Lucy and was very kind about sending us fun pictures of Lucy to let us know what Lucy was doing each day and to see how contented and happy she was. We highly recommend Monica!!”
“Stella stayed with Peiyi for a week and could not have been happier. Peiyi was very responsive and accommodating to our needs and is clearly a dog lover. Stella was well cared for and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in great hands. We highly recommend booking with Peiyi!”
About: I’ve had 2 Labrador Retrievers since childhood so I understand their behavior, needs, and personalities. I’m attentive and patient, making sure each one feels safe and comfortable in a new environment. I keep their routine consistent, provide clean litter, fresh food and water, and give them the right balance of attention and space. I’m available most days, including weekends, and can accommodate same-day bookings. I’m home often, so your pet will get plenty of attention, regular walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet will be treated like part of the family.
“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”
“Jada was amazing! She took great care of my dog and provided photos and updates daily. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book with Jada again! 🐶❤️”
“Cindy and her family took wonderful care of our dog for a 3 night stay. She sent regular updates with photos and took special care to get to know our dog. Highly recommend booking with Cindy!”

We had a wonderful experience with Rhinesca watching our 3 year old dachshund! We did a meet and greet prior and felt like it was a good fit. During her overnight, we got photos and she was very responsive when I texted her. Highly recommend, will be rebooking in the future!!
Mochi had such a great time with Lee and her dogs, Milo and Mikey! Lee sent many pictures and videos throughout Mochi's stay at her house and sent me updates about Mochi's sleeping and eating habits and the toys she liked playing with while there. She made a best buddy with Milo. We could trust Lee completely with Mochi and would book her again!
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.
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Closter is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $50 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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, 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 Closter.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Closter. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
