“Paola was great with Marshie. She provided photos and updates regularly. She's very responsive. We had last minute changes and she accommodated our requests and we're so thankful for that. Marshie looks well taken care of. I highly recommend Paola and will contact her in the future.”
“Monica took excellent care of Lucy and was very kind about sending us fun pictures of Lucy to let us know what Lucy was doing each day and to see how contented and happy she was. We highly recommend Monica!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Andrew, and how he took care of Vasya. First off, he was very accommodating with our last-minute boarding request, and was flexible with coordinating our drop-off and pickup times. Throughout Vasya's stay he maintained impeccable communication, sending multiple photos and videos showing all the fun she was having. He took her out for frequent walks, and even a few runs (which he cleared with me in advance, of course). He asked lots of questions to make sure that he was clear on what to expect with Vasya - her likes, dislikes, habits and temperament - and our expectations. When you meet him, you will know that your dog is in very capable hands and will be well cared-for. Thank you, Andrew!”
“It's my first time to use this app and to be able to have a pet sitter for Mayo and I'm glad I found Hawthorne and Wei. I could see their love and care for Mayo. They would regularly send me updates on Mayo's activities, they would send a lot of photos of videos, which is one of the things I really love about them. Also, they are so understanding - so understanding that they took Mayo under their care for a while when I asked for extension and modified the booking last minute. They were about to celebrate a very special occasion but decided to grant my request without hesitation. Truly, highly recommended pet sitter. I would definitely have them again if I need a pet sitter for Mayo when I go to NYC again. They indeed have me and Mayo's trust. They're just the best ??”
“Best dog watcher I have ever had, felt 100% comfortable the whole week I was away and got regular updates which showed how much fun my dog had and how well taken care of he was - 10/10 recommend :)”
“My dog stayed with Rob for 16 days and he was attentive and excellent at communicating before and throughout the whole period. My dog had a lot of socializing time with other dogs there, with Rob seeming to take good care that dogs match in personality.”
“I can't thank Enis enough for watching my dog Winnie on 12/28-12/30. Enis was very professional and answered all of our questions and concerns. He sent us photos and updates of our dog and was also nice enough to my bring my dog to our wedding venue in Clifton so I could get some photos with her. I would highly recommend Enis to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. I definitely plan to use him again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“We can’t imagine a better human to care for our pup than Meiqi. She is so kind, professional, and communicative. She sent us daily updates and photos to help us miss our pup less and to give us the peace of mind that he was having a great time on walks, taking naps, and eating healthy meals. We are so grateful to Meiqi.”
“Cathy is the absolute Best! My puppy is a very picky eater and Cathy goes out of her way to make sure she eats! I swear my dog was smiling when I picked her up. Best sitter ever! Let's not forget all the pic updates we get ❤️Thank you Cathy!”

Can’t wait to use you two again!”
“Jocelyn and her family was amazing with our dog Wisp. It was our first time using the rover app to book a dog sitter, and we struck gold with find Jocelyn. See sent videos and photos everyday and kept us in the loop about how wisps days went. She had so much fun running around her yard playing on the water and getting lots of exercise. We can’t wait for wisp to stay at Jocelyn’s home again - and would HIGHLY recommend anyone to book with her. You won’t be disappointed 🙏🏼♥️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emerson
Evelyn & Tony were outstanding! This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were very communicative throughout the week and made sure Rosie was comfortable and taken care of. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for the right care for their dog! Thank you!
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with her again! :)
I booked with Carol for boarding my dog. She was fantastic! She took very good care of my dog and adhered to feedings, walks, play time, and all the fun things my dog loves to do. She communicated well with me and provided pictures and updates each day. I can tell my dog enjoyed his time with her. If I need to board my dog again, I will definitely be booking with Carol again.
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!
Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!
Lorena was such an amazing sitter for our two month old puppy. We were anxious to leave her for a week but when we met Lorena we knew Riley would be in good hands. Lorena sent us constant updates with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will 100% be back and I am sure Riley is already looking forward to it ☺️ can’t recommend Lorena enough 💗

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Emerson on Rover is $51.64 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 13,771 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Emerson. 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 Emerson 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 Emerson 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 Emerson 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 Emerson.
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 Emerson 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.
