“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.”
“Maisha provides exceptional care for dogs. My dog, Asia, absolutely loves her, and I always feel confident knowing that Asia is in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment when she is with Maisha. Her genuine care, attention, and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Maisha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog caregiver.”
“Ms. Tanacka was very helpful, patiently watching my little Jordan for 5 days. She kept me updated and forwarded photos of Jordan's activities. I give her appreciation for her kindness, patience and caring for my fur baby, Jordan. Thanks again, Ms. Tanacka.”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“Stacia was absolutely amazing, she welcomed Kiwi with hugs and kisses. Even though it was my first time leaving Kiwi with someone outside of my family, I felt comfortable because she sent pictures and videos throughout the day. Thank you Stacia for making it easier for us, we are so happy to know that Kiwi had a good time that that we already booked our next boarding!”
“From the initial conversation on Rover to dropping of my beloved Frazier (cat) with Jacqueline she guided me on how boarding a cat would work, her strategy to let Frazier warm up and socialize on his terms and the love she’d provide. Jacqueline sent me daily pictures and videos to put my mind at ease and sent many text messages to reassure me that Frazier was comfortable and in good spirits. He looked so happy in the pictures and right at home. Her home is very conducive to comfortably leaving your dog or cat !”
“She is so communicative, kind, and always responsive. And she really treated my frenchie like he was her own. I really appreciate that because he needs a lot of attention haha. I felt like a family member was taking care of my frenchie and that is the best feeling in the world. Thank you! I highly recommend :)”
“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.”
“Akshay seems to be very responsible for the care of out dog Billy. He likes him and likes playing with his dog which is something we were looking for: Socialization. He kept us informed of his activities which is very appreciated.”
About: When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind with whichever service you decide to book. Going away on Vacation? I am located only 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport for close drop off & pick up. I do have one older pet in my home that does not interact with any pets that come for boarding or day care. 🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.
“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.”
“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”
“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.”
“Alison was THE BEST with our dog Graham. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s care and I’m glad Alison was the one to care for him. Frequent updates throughout the stay via texts and pictures, responded promptly to messages and very professional! Graham really enjoyed his stay and I would definitely book with Alison again🤗”
“Our Winston had a great day with Marlene! She was very attentive to him and had excellent communication before and during his stay. We are looking forward to having Winston stay with her again in the future!”
“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!”

Brianna was absolutely fantastic with our poodle, Pepper, during his 7 day stay! She went above and beyond to care for him, keeping us constantly updated on his routine, eating habits, playtime, and walks. We loved receiving all the photos which was such a thoughtful touch that really put us at ease. It was clear Pepper had a wonderful time with her and her pup on his Puppy Vaca, and we could tell he felt happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brianna again!
I appreciate Miss Natalie so much. Such a caring and loving dog sitter. She kept me updated and kept me at ease while I was 3,000 miles away. For my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn't really know,it felt like I was dropping my child off to school for the first day, lol! The good thing about it all as well, is that he came home and acted his regular normal self, there was no change in Behavior! That's how I know that he was comfortable being there and I will definitely use her again!
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.
We had a wonderful experience! They provided tons of updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Simba felt completely safe and comfortable, and he absolutely loved having their pet dog Sirius as a companion to play with. When we picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed. We couldn't have asked for better care!
Highly Highly Recommended very professional, our dogs had a great time they updated us everyday with very pictures, they have a big backyard so the pups can run and roam freely It was the first time letting someone sit our dogs and they made the experience great we had no issues we will use them in the future thank you again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alison was wonderful to work with! She was kind, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I truly appreciated her reliability and thoughtful updates, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jennifer did amazing with Max. He had a great time and enjoyed her family. He is older but does not like to be alone, thankfully Jennifer was always near him to reassure his nerves. I am glad she was close to home and available to help our little guy be safe while we enjoyed our trip.
I had such a great experience with my dog sitter! They took wonderful care of my husky and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. They kept me updated regularly, sending photos and little notes about how my pup was doing. I could tell my husky was happy and well-exercised when I got back. If you need someone reliable and caring, I highly recommend them!
My little Muffin had a blast. I booked with Julhiffer again and while I was on vacation she always kept me updated with the cutest videos and pics of my dog having a ball. She creates such a warm and animal friendly atmosphere! She is amazing ! Thank you again!
Sharon did a great job watching my dog! She was very attentive and made sure to follow all the care instructions. She also sent regular updates and let me know how everything was going, which made me feel really at ease while I was away. I could tell my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elizabeth on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,891 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 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth.
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 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 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.
