“Best dog sitter. Had to leave my fur baby for a few days at a time. Alison was the best with her. Sometimes I think my dog would have rather stayed with Alison. She had so much fun playing. Sad I moved away. Giving the highest recommendation!!”
“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!”
“We continue to trust her with our dog every time we go on away, and she never disappoint! Our dog is always happy, well cared for, and treated like family. The updates and photos give us great peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Shelanne was great with my dog. She cared for her like she was her own dog. She is very organized and made sure that she sent several pictures and videos while my furbaby was in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”
“Anjaliben was an excellent host for my fur babies Bear and Chubbs. From our first meeting I knew that I made the right decision with how welcoming she was. Bear and Chubbs were calm themselves for being with someone besides our family. This was a first time boarding experience for them and I. Medication was also given without any problems. I would highly recommend Anjaliben for her services that she provides. Bear and Chubbs have found their second home for vacations away from home.”
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone when you’re on vacation. That being said Jenny and her family took such good care of my puppy Teddy. When I saw the pics each day I could see the love she gives to her fur clients. I had a nice vacation knowing he was living his best life with Jenny. I highly recommend if you need a like home environment Jenny will not let you down. I definitely will only use Jenny in the future. Thanks Jenny Teddy will miss you💙”
“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!”
“There is not enough good things I can say about the care that Juliana showed Meek. She is warm and friendly and Meek sensed it immediately and was comfortable in her care. I received updates and pictures of daily walks and time spent in her home. Juliana is so wonderful with communication that make you feel so comfortable that your pup is safe, having fun and in a happy home. We will definitely be using her again many times over. Thank you Juliana!!!”
“Gina loves going to Beth's so much, we sometimes wonder if she wants to come home. Beth is caring and takes care of Gina's special needs. We couldn't ask for anyone better to watch her when we're away.”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
“Rebecca and Ozzie were outstanding while watching our dog. Its obvious they both show a passion for animals and we couldn't be happier. We'll definitely try to book with them next time our needs require a fog sitter.”
“She took my dog in last minute and Liz is awesome. My dog was super comfortable in her home. Love her dog Kylo! She kept me updated on a daily basis and my dog loves her ! Will use her again for future sitting needs !”
“We have never left Huey with anyone other than family so we were a little nervous. We did a Meet and Greet and Kirk and Joy put our fears to rest. However, Huey got sick the day before we were going to leave and needed to take medication. We were anxious, but they sent us pictures and updates on how Huey was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Twizzler had another wonderful stay with Bridget! From all the pictures and updates I received, I could see how happy and content he was throughout his vacation. It truly warms my heart knowing that my boy is so comfortable and well-cared for with Bridget. I am so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my boy . Highly recommend!”
“Janet and Ken were wonderful ! My 2 bichon/poodles were comfortable there right away, which is unusual for them. They loved exploring the backyard, and curled up on the couch. No need to worry about them being on the furniture, or having an "accident". I was finally able to relax while away, knowing my babies were in good hands. Janet and Ken are real animal lovers and so accommodating. I highly recommend them !!”
“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“Raelyn was great. Our dobie is a big ball of energy and she handled him better than any other dog facility or sitter could. Personally if you're looking for a home feel away from from home for your pup there isn't anyone better. She constantly checked in with us on how he was any moment she can. Despite her busy schedule she still made sure to always make us comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“Andres did a great job with our two 1 year old dogs. Both came home happy as Andres has plenty of room for them to run around and play. It's our first Rover experience and we were both relieved to find a sitter with plenty of experience. I would recommend Andres.”
“She was amazing. Going into this we had problems finding a sitter because our puppy has special eating,Eileen found them to be not a problem at all. She constantly sent updates, videos and pictures of our pup so we knew how she was doing. She takes her job to a whole different level and loves the animals as if they were her own. Would definitely leave our puppy with her again.”

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.
