“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Nyema was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated throughout Max’s stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Max was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Nyema again! Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa and Marcus are the absolute best! Sam always has a wonderful time with them and Zara! They are his second family and the excitement he has when we pull up to their home is unbelievable. It warms my heart every time.”
“Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“Aubrey provided great care and is dog lover for sure. We highly recommend and will be using her again for sure. Thank you Aubrey for taking care of our little friends!”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
“Rebecca is always great with our dog and he loves being her “pack”. Her and her husband are great people and they are really good with dogs. They know personalities and preferences of each dog and makes sure they’re all taken care of. We highly recommend them.”
“Jenny and her family were fantastic with our dog, giving periodic updates and sending pictures and video. Allowing us to be at ease while on vacation. This is a very loving home. Her and her husband (and others) took great care of our dog, giving him plenty of walks and attention…he probably had a hard time leaving!”
“Since this was a new location and person for Louie, I was a little apprehensive. After meeting Adrienne and her daughter, I knew he would be fine. They loved him and he even played with one of their dogs. I won't hesitate to use her again!”
“Eileen made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her overnight for a few days especially since this was my first time ever using Rover. She kept me updated with pics and videos and answered all my questions. I can tell my dog was well cared for and she even bathed him before I picked him up. I will be using her services again! ?”
“Sarah took care of my dog Boomer well! This is the second time in two weeks we left Boomer with Sarah. It was very rare for him, a rescue dog who is very cautious to those outside family, not to growl to someone trying to reach with hand while in my wife’s arms. It happened to Sarah. It means that Boomer trusts Sarah. It shows how much she cared for Boomer while he is with her. I will definitely take Boomer again to Sarah next time.”
“Kara sent us twice daily updates and pictures of our pup and gave her lots of cuddles and playtime. It made us so happy to know that our dog was loved and taken care of during our vacation. Our dog loved being a part of her family for the week.”
“Ryan was very communicative throughout the whole stay, he sent photos and videos, and my dog had so much fun! definitely recommend. it’s hard leaving your dogs and especially if you don’t always have many options of people you know personally to watch them, so when you come across someone with a dog to play with yours, a big yard, and keeps you in the loop it’s definitely a win.”
“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!!”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kirk & Anita and their home. Our dog is very large and needs a good workout every day. Their property is perfect with huge fenced in enclosures with lots of fun areas for the dogs to explore. They sent daily photos and updates and were willing to work around our schedule. Finn came home clean and exhausted along with a little goodie bag! We will definitely use them again!”
“After having a trial overnight at Andres’ home, I knew my two small dogs would have a home away from home! Being away for 12 days was tough, but Andres texted photos of them enjoying themselves. I will use Andres’ again, no question!”

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 .

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.
