“5/5 Stars — Absolutely Outstanding Care! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caroline! She boarded my Miniature Schnauzer, Mikey, for a few days while I was away, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From day one, her friendly and welcoming nature put my mind completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular texts, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear right from the start how kind, loving, and attentive she is with animals. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anyone better. By the end of the experience, it felt like a family member had taken care of my dog. I will definitely be reaching out to Caroline again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

Mauree was absolutely amazing with Zoey! From start to finish, communication was prompt, friendly, and reassuring. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that Mauree truly loves dogs and treats them like family. We will definitely be booking again!
Highly recommend Tanacka. When I tell you she is amazing, she is amazing. My 2 fur babies was treated like family and made sure medication was given. My babies had daily exercise and alot of affection time. I will definitely Book with her again in the near future
Melissa was super understanding of my dog's needs. She treated my dog like it was her own child. Honestly, she was probably better than I was. I look forward to using her again and again. My dog was super happy for the week she was there. Keep up the good work! Next time I will have peace of mind while I'm on the beach getting much needed relaxation. Thank you!!
I would highly recommend Megany. It’s the first time that we have left them with someone else and we could not have asked for a better person to take care of our doggies. She would update us every day with pictures and communication was great. After a weeks stay they were very happy and healthy. We would definitely book with her again in the future.
Diana and her mom took good care of my baby Muffin while I traveled. They always sent the cutest pictures and videos assuring me my dog was happy and well taken care of. Diana was very professional , loving and caring. I would definitely trust my Muffin fur baby with her again.
This was my first time boarding my dog, Marley, and I highly recommend Rosario! From the very beginning, she reassured me that Marley would be well taken care of, and she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with the love, care, and attention Marley received while he was with her. She went above and beyond to help him adjust, feel comfortable, and even make new friends. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I am beyond pleased and incredibly grateful for everything Rosario did for Marley. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I will definitely trust you with him again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elizabeth is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $105 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.

As of October 2026, there are 13,887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elizabeth. 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth.
<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 Elizabeth 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.
