“I have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maisha. My dog loved her from the first drop off. She sent picture updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“Manuel was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the start, it was clear he truly cared—our pup took to him right away. We came home to a happy, calm dog and felt completely at ease thanks to his thoughtful updates. We’re so grateful and would trust Manuel again in a heartbeat!”
“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”
“Yuberkis did an amazing job caring for my sweet boy Dudley! It takes a lot of patience to care for French Bulldogs with all of their skin allergies & the treatment of their skin folds. She followed Dudley’s detailed treatment regimen to the tee & put my mind at ease while I traveled out of town. He had an amazing time playing with her dog while soaking up some sun in her beautiful backyard. She is patient, considerate and great with communication while caring for your fur babies. Dudley & I thank you sooooo much!!!”
“Our dog was very well taken care of even when we had a flight delay. Definitely appreciate and recommend for care of your pup. Thanks a ton for taking care of my baby Mio.”
“Very caring and compassionate with my pets! I would highly recommend to any of my friends or family. She treated my cats as her own and always kept me updated. Extremely responsive and helpful with short notices. I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am for her outstanding services.”
“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in East Orange is $60

I can't recommend Darrin and Debra enough! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine stayed consistent, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but also truly passionate about animals. I will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.
From the moment leo was dropped off, I knew he was in great hands. Miasha took such wonderful care of him and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Leo was treated with so much love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciated the excellent communication and how much she cared about his comfort and happiness. I would absolutely trust her with Leo again and highly recommend miasha to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!
Sundae the Sheepdog had a great stay with Manuel! This was her first time away from home and he made us feel very comfortable leaving her. He sent pictures and updates during her stay giving us all smiles along the way. Thank you Manuel for taking such good care of our girl ❤️
I can’t thank Sissi enough for taking such wonderful care of our Sammy! She made him feel welcome and at home while we were away. Sammy is usually anxious without us and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy. We appreciated the daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease. Thanks so much! Until next time.
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Brooklyn! She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly patient and understanding with his little quirks, and it was clear he was well cared for and loved. She even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed, which we were so grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 🐾💛
Angie was absolutely amazing with our 6-month-old puppy! She kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, showing his playtime and how happy and comfortable he was. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with Angie again. Highly recommend!
Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
Neide is the only person I’ve trusted with my dog Champ ever since we moved to NJ. She’s amazing - very attentive, caring and great at communicating. I never worry about him when he’s with Neide and he always looks so happy to see her and happy on all the photos and videos she sends me during his stay. I couldn’t recommend Neide more!

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 July 2026, there are 14,022 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Orange. 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 East Orange 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 East Orange 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 East Orange 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 East Orange.
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 East Orange 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.
