“This is truly a VACATION for dogs! They get to enjoy a beautiful farm, go on walks/runs daily in nature. This is a superior experience in comparison to a kennel or leaving a dog elsewhere. They get go much attention and love. The barn the dogs sleep in is really cool. It looks like it was stables for horses. Each dog gets their on stable. You can bring your dog’s bedding & toys and they are happy in their stall. Christina & Daniel have it down to a science how to run the place so each dog gets lots of attention & outdoor play. I find this place to be incredibly inexpensive considering all they get. Way cheaper than most of the people on Rover wanting to watch your dog at their own house. BOOK here always.”

“Carol took great care of our puppy, Max, for about a week while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! Max seemed so happy in all the videos and pictures Carol shared. I think Max actually misses being there and having more friends to play with! Carol is easy to communicate with and was very flexible and accommodating.”

“I have a really hard time leaving my dog with anyone but Denyal made me feel comfortable. She sent a lot of pictures and responded quickly when I checked in with her. My dog got lots of exercise and attention, and since other dogs were staying with her as well, they all played together. I would highly recommend Denyal.”

“Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara again.”

“Jackie and Ashleigh provided exceptional care to our fur babies. They were even flexible enough to watch our Rottweiler (Otis sister) so that they could stay together while we were away on vacation. They were extremely attentive and awesome communicators. Pictures were sent daily, and it was clear that they were having a blast. Thank you for everything Jackie and Ashleigh! We would definitely have you watch our fur babies again 🤗”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from walking and feeding to overnight stays. I often pet-sit for friends when they travel, and I've also rescued and nursed several stray dogs back to health. Every dog I care for is treated with the same love and attention as my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I'm able to walk, feed, and spend time with dogs throughout the day, not just during set hours. Weekends and evenings are open for boarding as well. I provide a calm, clean, and secure indoor environment for boarding dogs. Each dog gets a comfortable resting area, and I take them out for regular walks and bathroom breaks. Safety is always my top priority. I never leave dogs unsupervised in unfamiliar or hazardous situations.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elizabeth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elizabeth is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 845 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.

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 , 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 PA 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.
