“Christina and Nick watched our large Rottweiler for 6 days. Christina provided very helpful and detailed updates multiple times per day. Meet and greet, pick up, and drop off were all agreed upon and followed. Wonderful hosts - thank you!”
“My dogs were in good hands from the get go. I got videos and pictures, updates throughout the day. All the extra stuff was taken care of, I didn't even worry for a minute. Truly lucky we found such an awesome accomodation, I'm sad we are moving otherwise I'd book again!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.”
“I wanted to share how awesome Yesenia is! She's such a sweet person and her home is always clean and tidy. Plus, her back yard is amazing - my dog absolutely loves it! Whenever I have any questions or need to make a last minute drop off, Yesenia is super quick to respond and always saves the day. I highly recommend her. She's the best!”
“Karla was amazing! She recently took care of my German Shorthaired Pointer, Olive, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos that showed how happy and comfortable Olive was. Karla’s attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. It was clear that Olive was in great hands, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was so well cared for.”
“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“Sourav and Gargi were amazing. The drop off and pick up was smooth. Our dog loved staying with them and their own dog was also got along very well with our dog. I definitely recommend them.”
“Moonyoung and Sunhyung were fantastic hosts for my dog, Kash, while I was away. They were incredibly flexible with pickup and dropoff times and responded quickly to my initial inquiries about booking. Their communication was exceptional, and they sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day, keeping me updated on Kash’s wellbeing. I could tell how happy she was to be there as she received consistent attention and playtime which is essential for her energetic nature. If you’re looking for reliable, consistent, and caring sitters, I highly recommend contacting Moonyoung and Sunhyung! I’ll definitely be using them for all my future sitting needs”
“Funda was great. Her setup is a basement with a walk out to a nice yard for play and doing business. Took good care of my 12 year old dog who is not used to new things and she felt very welcome there and comfortable with the people and environment. Gave written instructions and did not need to clarify anything. Would definitely use again.”
“She’s fantastic! Michelle ensures that your animal is loved, care for - takes time to feed and do the routines that your dog has daily. She has a super clean home with an area just for your dog that makes you feel like it’s a doggy hotel! Nameplate and first time sitter certificate was a nice touch. We received many updates of all kinds - videos, pictures and texts throughout her stay. Her own dogs are lovely and kept Lulu active and entertained (she s a puppy so it was great!). We plan on booking her again if available and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Michelle!!”
“I have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maisha. My dog loved her from the first drop off. She sent picture updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Experienced dog family! Took great care of our big boy! Sent lots of updates and pictures. I have a big boy who loves to spend the days outside and their fenced in yard gave him lots of room to explore! They are real dog people and I felt 100% confident my dog was in good hands!”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“We left our dog with Evelyn for 2 nights for our wedding- he has never stayed with anyone before so we were worried he’d be stressed but after dropping him off we knew we made the right choice with Evelyn! She sent us so many pictures and videos of him enjoying play time and walks. He wasn’t even anxious when we came back to get him. We will be using her again for sure and recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pup!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Sasha was extremely well taken care of and spoiled rotten. Will definitely book with Charlie again in the future. He went above and beyond, and was completely understanding and able to hold onto Sasha bit longer when unprecedented events kept me from picking her up on time. Thanks Charlie!”

The most amazing sitter ever. I received daily pictures of my sweet girl all day. She was living the dream! My flight was delayed and they were available to keep my Rubi an additional day. It was my first time leaving my sweetie with a sitter and first time using rover but I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely book again if I ever go away for vacation.
Paloma was great! We had our fur baby on her hand for eight nights. Paloma updated everyday how he was doing during our travel with bunch of photos. Our puppy seem to be very happy on her hand. When we picked him up, he seemed to be so sad to be parted with her and refused to leave. He was healthy and happy when he came back home. I will definitely find her again when we have another occasion that we have to leave him behind.
Christina was so communicative and Neptune seemed very well looked after while I was away for a week. When I described Neptunes potential reactivity she took it all in stride and he did very well while he was there, which I’m so grateful for. I will definitely use her services again!
Xunzi (Rita) Where do I begin?? Leaving my dog, Bentley, with someone new was nerve-racking, but she exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful text messages, frequent photos, and consistent communication that gave me complete peace of mind. She genuinely cared about making sure I knew Bentley was happy, safe, and adjusting well. What impressed me most was the patience and love she showed him. She even hand-fed him to help him feel comfortable and build trust, which meant so much to me. It was obvious she wasn’t just watching him she truly bonded with him. He received plenty of walks, attention, affection, and outstanding care throughout his stay. Bentley came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog like their own, and that’s exactly what she did. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter.
This was the 2nd time that Michelle has cared for our Princess Lulu and she yet again took the utmost care during a holiday weekend. It helped that my dog took VERY WELL to her dog, Mia but the love and care left us with confidence while we were away. The pictures, videos, updates about her eating, playing and bedtimes were so appreciative. Her clean home, flexibility when traffic played a part in picking up Lulu and all the snuggles/love given like she was her own made me so happy to have her there. Thank you, Michelle!! truly appreciate it!
We had a wonderful experience! From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in his care. He kept us updated, let us know he was settling in well, and it was so reassuring to hear he was hanging out with the other dogs and doing great. You can tell Enis genuinely care about the dogs he look after. We really appreciated the updates, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend!
Yeisa is the best and so sweet! Unfortunately while I was away on my birthday trip in Dominican Republic, my other sitter had mentioned she couldn’t take care of Moki. Yeisa being my life saver went and picked up Moki in less than a two hour notice and has treated my dog with the upmost respect. God bless you Yeisa! No issues whatsoever, and she will cater to your dog and its needs!
This was my first Rover experience and it could not have been better. Ashley sent photos of my dog throughout my trip away, so I was never worried. Ashley was incredible, attentive, and so communicative. I would definitely reccomend this service, as well as Ashley, to anyone!
Kathy is one of the best dog sitters we've had. So lucky to have her nearby. She is very reliable and communicates well with frequent updates and photos of our corgi Nike. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a trusted sitter who will love your pup just as much as you do.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garfield on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,906 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garfield. 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 Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Garfield 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 Garfield.
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 Garfield 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.
