“Christina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!”

“Let me save you some time...if you need a cat sitter and Rita is available, do yourself a favor and just reserve her services. She took care of my cat, Simba, for almost a week, and the whole experience felt like dropping him off at a family member’s that I could trust. Ditto other reviews, Rita’s communication was top notch – pro-actively providing health and status updates and sharing fun pictures/videos at least few times a day. It's very obvious she has a genuine affection for pets. She also exercised a lot of patience approaching and gaining my cat’s trust as he’s very skittish especially in a new environment. Her distinctive ability to read my cat’s body language ensured that Simba was always within his comfort zone (literally the cat whisperer!!) Additionally, her set up’s great with a separate room in her apartment that provided Simba with privacy and alone time that all cats need. Could not recommend her enough for cat sitting!! Gut feel her rates are very fair for the quality of professional service she provides. I’d almost rather drop my cat off with her than family as I can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thanks Rita!”

She also sent pictures and videos that brought smile on my face even while being away from him. Oh!!

Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.”

It was beautiful to see as a dog mom because that means she cares for him so well that he missed her! I highly recommend this mother/daughter duo. Leo gets a lot of love in Ms. Refine's care, so I can only imagine how much more love he will get when Beautiful is home as well. 💕 There's nothing like the feeling of knowing your pet is safe and cared for.”

About: I’ve been a proud dog dad to my lovely Lola for the past four years! Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and providing a safe, comfortable environment for dogs. Lola is incredibly friendly, calm, and loves meeting new people and furry friends. I genuinely love dogs and would treat every pup in my care like family, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to provide a loving home away from home where your dog feels happy, safe, and welcome. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands! 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine! I already spend plenty of time with my dog, Lola, taking her outside around 6–8 times a day for backyard playtime, fresh air, and walks. Since I’m home so often, I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves playing outdoors, going on walks, or simply relaxing indoors, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Your dog’s safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I have a private, enclosed backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and supervised playtime in a secure environment. I regularly check and maintain my backyard to keep it clean, safe, and free of anything that could potentially harm a dog. I’m also mindful of wildlife and take precautions to keep unwanted animals away from the play area. Inside my home, I provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can relax and feel like part of the family. My dog, Lola, is very gentle and friendly, and I always make sure introductions with new furry friends are gradual and supervised. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give Lola. I’ll also respect each pet’s individual needs, feeding schedules, and routines while keeping their owners updated with photos and messages. 🐶❤️

Sarah was an awesome pet sitter to my German shepherd. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family member. I appreciated everything she did while I was away. Sarah was kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about taking care of my dog. I have a large dog and they can be a challenge and she handled it with ease. I would highly recommend Sarah and I definitely will be using her in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving our two dogs, Kobe and Bucky, in someone else’s care is never easy, but we felt completely comfortable and confident knowing they were in great hands. The communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for our dogs made all the difference. It was such a relief knowing Kobe and Bucky were being treated like family while we were away. Having that peace of mind allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with your pets, but we’re so grateful to have found Funda who genuinely cares about their well-being. We would absolutely book again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Kobe and Bucky!

Kinjal was amazing with Timmy. This is our first time leaving him with someone other than family so we were a bit worried. After the inital meetup, talking with Kinjal, and seeing where he would be staying, my worries started to fade. During the boarding, Kinjal communicated daily with photo and video updates and frequently asked questions about Timmy in order to provide the best care of him. We will definitely go with Kinjal again. Highly recommended!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garfield is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 13,991 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

94% of sitters in Garfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garfield. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
