Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elizabeth
I had a great experience with Akshay as a dog sitter! From the beginning, Akshay was professional, caring, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands, and the communication throughout the stay was excellent. Akshay treated my dog like their own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the time and attention they provided. I would definitely recommend Akshay to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog sitter. I will absolutely be using their services 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
Sharon is absolutely the best! Talk about professionalism and having the best customer service appeal :) Received daily pics and videos that showed my pups being very well taken cared for. Is very understanding and so very helpful when my travel plans got messed up. Def an A+ experience will DEFINITELY be having Sharon as a permanent sitter for my babies. She has a safe environment and it was so nice to see my pups were never in distress....Highly Recommended!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elizabeth on Rover is $49.95 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 13,899 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.
