“Alison was wonderful! I feel confident that my pup was treated like family and was comfortable and loved the entire time we were away. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Shelanne was great! Bagel enjoyed her stay and I appreciated the updates and Shelanne picking up and dropping off Bagel which made it much easier for me to handle my work travel on schedule. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Jenny (and the whole family) was wonderful with our husky Maggie. She provided so many updates, and I could see how happy and comfortable Maggie was from all the photos making out vacation completely stress free. They also sent funny videos and took Maggie on so many walks. The communication, care, and his overall kindness of Jenny and her family can not be overstated. Highly recommend for all your boarding needs 💯”
“Another great stay with Beth. She takes such good care with our girl and frequently keeps us informed of how she is doing. Gina seems to feel very comfortable at Beth's and makes herself at home. We couldn't ask for anything more.”
“Eileen was great! 1st time I had ever boarded a dog and felt very comfortable with Eileen. She answered all my questions beforehand and kept me updated with photos and videos while we were away !!! I could tell that Eileen really cares about the doggies ?”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“Kristen and her family was very welcoming to my baby Oreo. The communication was both prompt and clear. She sent many pictures of Oero the whole time. I definitely would recommend her. And hopefully we can use her again.”
“As always, Adrienne was amazing with our dog George! This is the third time that we have had him stay with her, and each time we are so happy with the service that she provides. George was well care for and loved while we were away on a nine day trip. When our flight got canceled and we were stuck in another country for an extra day, Adrienne was more than accommodating. We will definitely be using her for our next trip.”
“I would recommend John and Michelle to anyone looking to board their dog for any period of time. My dog can be anxious and they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable. They were immediately responsive when I reached out and provided fun updates throughout her stay. I look forward to using them in the future.”
“I have used Rover for several years and have had some really good providers. However Juliana, Cooper, and Betty Boop are amazing and my Pup felt right at home. I can honestly say I have found Bubblez new home away from home. I can now travel and not get anxiety leaving my Fur baby. Juliana is warm, caring and loved my Pup as if she were her own. Bubblez did not come home disheveled which made me feel much better. I highly recommend Juliana! ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life. I can’t help but love on dogs. They have so much to offer and live so deeply. I work full time during the week. Once I’m home and on weekends I am all about loving on my own Willow! We love to play and go for walks as much as possible. Usually by bedtime we are both exhausted. I do not have a fenced yard but we live in a quiet development. Since we are in the back it is safe. Dogs can have free roam of the house if they are potty trained. We do have small area sectioned off for our own pup that we can use if not potty trained. Our own pup is crated trained and in her crate when we aren’t there as well as at night. We prefer the same.
“Anjaliben was a great host for our fur baby. We dropped off Our pup and her and her son took good care of Buddy. She fed him and played with him and sent pictures of her dogs playing with ours. We will definitely be calling on Anjaliben to watch our pup again.”
“It was obvious during the meet and greet when I introduced my 3 dogs to Rebecca that they were going to be in good hands! Rebecca loves dogs and it shows. My dogs took to her right away, and I know I will book with her again! I’m extremely grateful to Rebecca for the peace of mind she gave me, and for providing me with updates and pictures during their stay with her.”
“Candice was an amazing sitter. My puppy was cared for as if he was her own. I received updates without having to request updates and my puppy was returned happy and healthy. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”
“Kelsey & Conor were amazing with George!! He settled in immediately with their two dogs, Brody and Beans, and had the best week ever. Daily walks, constant play, and by the end he was lounging on their furniture like he owned the place. They sent photos and updates without us having to ask, and were very flexible with drop-off and pickup over a busy holiday week. He came home happy and completely worn out. Could not recommend them more!!”
“I was nervous leaving our girl for the first time - but from the moment of our meet and greet- Carrie made everything feel so comfortable. She has a lovely family, lives on a farm with three sweet pups. Ellie was treated like family - from relaxing on the recliner with her husband to sleeping in her bed. I’m so grateful she was so well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Carrie again. She was very interactive with me throughout Ellie’s stay which was very reassuring. Thank you Carrie!!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elmer on Rover is $49.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,610 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elmer. 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 Elmer 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 Elmer 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 Elmer 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 Elmer.
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 Elmer 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.
