“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing! It was my first time using the app and letting my babies stay with anything other than family and friends. I was extremely nervous, but she made it so easy by sending pictures and videos of my babies having a blast! They even made a new friend named Astro! Cannot wait to let them stay with them again! 🤍”
“We heard about Jose through a friend that had used him. We couldn’t be happier. Jose sent pictures everyday and his response to any messages was quick. We will definitely be using Jose again!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and it was also the first time being apart, so we were very nervous. Dhruvit and his family were incredibly welcoming and made our dog feel right at home right from the start. They ensured that our dog had a wonderful time during their stay. The day before boarding, our dog had a small injury, and Dhruvit was so attentive in making sure the area stayed protected, even applying the necessary medication and keeping our dog from licking it. Throughout the day, I received multiple pictures, which really put my mind at ease. Our dog particularly loved playing in the backyard, and I was reassured knowing it was a fully fenced area, as our dog is an escape artist. Overall, I’m so grateful to Dhruvit and his family for providing such great care. I feel much more confident about boarding our dog here again in the future.”
“Kate was great and was so flexible with our crazy holiday travel plans. She sent frequent photos and assured me my dog was doing just fine. She was communicative, prompt and was a total life saver for us! Would absolutely book with Kate and her sweet family again.”
“Our pup had a great stay at Lucas and Kathrine’s! We were constantly updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. It looked like he had a blast! Our pup will definitely be staying there again!”
“Jessica is great with my dog Penelope. She takes lots of pictures and provides updates, and Penelope loves her dog. I always know Penelope is being spoiled and well taken care of when she’s with Jessica.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Ollie loved his time with Stacia. I can tell he was well cared for. I enjoyed the updates and photos. He made a new friend. I would definitely leave Ollie in her care again.”
“Nan sent frequent photos and videos and took great care of our dog. She integrated our dog into her family while we were out of town. I would be happy to leave my girl with Nan anytime.”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“Gurdeep took great care of our fur-baby. This was our first time boarding Hailey and I was so relived after speaking to Gurdeep during our meet and greet. She is very warm and nice and has wonderful loving home with 3 lovely kids. She kept us posted throughout Hailey's stay. We will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her!”

“Second time using Jacqueline and another wonderful experience! One of the few I trust watching my babes for a few days. She sends lots of updates and is so easy to reach. We just know our dogs are on vacation too. Love all the outdoor time they get while they are there. Thank you so much for hosting them again!”
“Katie was great to work with and my dog came home tired and happy. Communication was easy and I received lots of photos. She lives near a nice park which my dog had a blast exploring. I would definitely book again with her!”
“Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!”

We were very happy with Vanessa watching our dog Pepper. Pepper really enjoyed herself. Pepper came home very happy so I know she was well taken care of with Vanessa. Vanessa is a very caring person. Just having a conversation with her you know that she is a very compassionate person and caring. We will definitely book Pepper again with Vanessa. Thank you for caring for our Pepper!
Can't thank Dhruvit enough. He and his household has a wonderful environment for our fast and festive Phoebe. We received many photos of her having fun and playing well with other dogs while we were away. Couldn't be happier thanks to Dhruvit's attention and playful spaces. He's our number Sitter and look forward to booking Phoebe's next stay with him in the near future. Thank you, Dhruvit!!!
Lucas took care of Rudy again, and once again, he did an amazing job! He is so dependable, caring, attentive, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing Rudy is in his care. Rudy clearly loves having Lucas around, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend Lucas—he truly goes above and beyond!
I had a wonderful experience with Sudhesh for my dog. He took such great care of my dog and made him feel completely at home. Sudhesh ensured he got regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and shared photos diligently, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was in caring hands. I highly recommend Sudhesh to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy and loving person to care of their dog.
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Colonia on Rover is $80.56 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,427 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Colonia. 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 Colonia 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 Colonia 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 Colonia 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 Colonia.
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 Colonia 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.
