“First time leaving my puppy Penny with Stacia and couldn’t be more happy with her! Stacia is a true pro and genuine animal lover. You can tell how much she cares about our furry babies the minute you meet her. Stacia accommodated our VERY last minute request and was so flexible with my travel schedule changes. She is an EXCELLENT communicator, listened to our/Penny’s needs, sent us frequent updates/pics/videos, and was always quick to answer when we checked in. Penny already misses her! If you need a trusted and kind caregiver for your pet, look no further - you’re in good hands with Stacia!! THANK YOU!!!!”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“I am very happy with Caroline, she was very welcoming and we did a visit before actual booking. This was my fist time using this service. I definitely RECOMMEND booking Caroline she was amazing she sends plenty of updates and photos. My Hart had an awesome time. Thank you Caroline you are the best.❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽”
“This was my first time using Rover for our dog. Marlene was patient with myself and our dog! She was so easy to communicate with. Very responsive! She would update us regarding our dog’s stay daily and our dog seemed to have enjoyed his stay with her. So glad we found her and we would certainly use her again.”
“Jessica is amazing! I can’t say it enough. She is awesome with whiskey. He loves going over and staying with her. He plays all day and has a great time there! I never worry when he is with her! She is my go to person when we need for him to stay somewhere. Trust her fully!”
“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“We found a match for our dog. Bhavani has been so caring and keep sending us updates, photos videos of Yogi . She made us feel confident that Yogi is in good hands while we were away .”
“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”
“Javier took great care of my dog. We met ahead of time so that he gets to know my dog. During the stay, he communicated with me on a daily basis. Getting updates from him really made me feel at ease for leaving my dog behind. I would recommend him to all my friends who needs a responsible dog sitter.”
“Our dog Monster had a fantastic stay with Michelle. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her family for 9 days while we were away. She provided multiple updates throughout our trip, and it was easy to tell Monster was having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
“Thank you so much Jose for looking after Ginger and bring flexible with last minute changes. Thank you for being mindful of Ginger's needs and care. We look forward to future stays!”
“Maisha was EXCELLENT! This was the first time I ever left my dog with someone and she made me feel SO much at ease. She’s so professional and sweet. Maisha is a natural with your fur babies. If you need a dog sitter she is your person. I am already booking her again to stay with my fue baby for my next vacation. Maisha is the best! -Cheryl”
“Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️”

We’re so grateful to Brittany for taking such amazing care of our Amöko! We felt completely stress free on our trip knowing he was in such good hands, and all the cute photos and videos made us so happy seeing how much fun he was having. We’ll definitely be seeing Brittany and her partner again in the future! Thank you so much!🩵
Kate and her family are wonderful! She watched both of my dogs for a whole week while I was away. She sent pictures of them every day in the morning and the evening. My dogs looked happy and comfortable. Kate is caring and professional. I'm very pleased with her services.
Becky and family took very good care of olive. olive is a bit fussy with food and whenever we leave her with sitters, she almost always doesn’t eat. Becky went to extra lengths to make fresh chicken, cut up and mix with her kibble. first time ever, olive ate every day! Becky sent so many pictures and videos of olive going on walks, playing in their backyard or just relaxing. we would definitely love to have Becky care for olive again!
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!
Victor & Lessly are amazing! They are the perfect tag team couple to care for our pup. Our guy is a bit high maintenance with all his drops, medication, food, and FOMO for when we leave him for vacation. Victor & Lessly gave him extra attention and frequent recaps and photos to keep us at ease. We even landed late and had to pick him up the next morning in which they went out of their way to feed him a home cooked meal in which we failed to provide an extra. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
Javier took exceptional care of my fur baby and went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable from the very beginning. It was clear that she was well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates, kindness, and professionalism. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Griffey seemed so comfortable and happy in his first stay with Tynesha and family! This was his first stay with anybody outside of our family, and we immediately knew he was in great hands from the initial meeting. The regular updates and photos kept us reassured that he was having a great time. We will absolutely be coming back to Tynesha for any future dog sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cranford on Rover is $61.05 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 13,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cranford. 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 Cranford 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 Cranford 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 Cranford 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 Cranford.
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 Cranford 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.
