“Kun was a beyond amazing sitter from start to finish! Taj had such a great time there, through boarding, that I cannot wait to bring him again! He updated me with numerous photos and videos with them spending a fantastic time together! Including my dog with his Maltese as well! Would definitely recommend if you have a smaller pet!”
“Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.”
“Lindsey is a very responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Mango like a member of her own family and made sure he was happy, healthy, and well cared for throughout his stay. She took care of all his daily needs and responsibilities with great attention and love. I believe Mango will miss her family when he goes home, and I’m sure he will be looking forward to seeing them and reconnecting with them again next time!”
About: I have two siblings with a rescue dog each and I have been the go-to auntie to dogsit for them for years. Anytime anyone’s need to go on a trip, Auntie’s got them 💪. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can give them the attention, the cuddles, the walks, and the treats they need to be absolutely cared for. I work a remote job from 9-5. It’s not demanding so I have lots of flexibility. I will do walks in the mornings and evenings and can fit in a fun one in the afternoon for a little nature enrichment. Meal times are how the dog parents want. They can have access to my furniture and bed. I see myself as their auntie and they will be treated with the best love and care. My apartment is right next to a train so there will be loud train noises every few hours. I’m hoping this doesn’t spook the babies but please keep that mind.
“Keisy was great dog sitter and very flexible. Due to schedule changes, we were not able to pick her up in time and she was more than happy to watch her for another day. She sent videos/pictures updates and asked what we are ok with our dog doing like getting on the couch, where she sleeps etc. Would hire her again. Thanks!!”
“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”
“Lokie had the best time yet again !!! I know she is loved, safe and cared for while she is here. I’m sure she can’t wait to come back! Thank you so much”
“Absolutely amazing sitters! Extremely professional and considerate. I was nervous to leave my dog with new people but they offered a meet and greet days in advanced, had me complete a questionnaire on his feeding, preferences, quirks etc. And provided me with daily updates including pictures. I was able to travel at ease knowing he was in safe hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Snickers.”
“We've trusted them with our dog Rosie for every boarding stay, and the care has always been exceptional. Our puppy is always happy, well looked after, and excited to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable place for their furry pet.”
“Georgi had a great time at Maryn’s. Maryn was very communicative throughout and sent pictures/videos regularly. She was very patient with my somewhat anxious dog who has a harder time when away, with eating, settling at night, etc. Thanks so much for everything. We already have two more stays booked. Definitely recommend!”
“My dog loves going to Gargi and Sourav’s. She instantly felt at home there and loved playing with Archie, today. I’ve never seen her get comfortable so quickly!”
“Teresa took very good care of my two dogs when my family and I went on vacation for 6 nights. She corresponded daily with photos, and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy staying with her and I will definitely reach out to her again for her services.”
“Rhea and Michael were absolutely the best! My dog Frankie is 11 years old, he doesn’t like being around a lot of other dogs, he was very comfortable spending the week with Rhea and Michael while we were in the Bahamas. Rhea sent a lot of pictures and I could see how happy he was! They took great care of him and kept me updated! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Chi-wing and his partner treated my senior dog like tiny royalty. She is very attached to us but she had a great time with them! Definitely recommend if you have a tiny, clingy, older dog ❤️”
“Amanda and her husband Max took such great care of our two dogs while we were away for a weekend! Amanda sent frequent updates, lots of pictures, and I could tell our dogs felt right at home! Would definitely recommend Amanda for any care needs!”
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“Randi was amazing in how she cared for my puppy, Jupiter, while I had to go out of town for a few days. She kept in touch with me throughout the duration of his stay at her place. She kept him engaged, took him for long walks and bathed him. She even went the extra mile and got him new toys and a bed! That took me by surprise, since I believe it’s really hard to find someone who can have that level of attachment to a puppy unless it’s their own puppy! Thank you so much, Randi, for looking after Jupiter like he’s part of your home and family!”
“Betsy took great care of our dog! She sent great daily pictures of what our Max was doing and kept a great schedule with him. At the end of the stay, he even sat by her side. Highly recommend!”

Speedy has been staying with Enis over the last 3 years- repeated stays when I am away. Enis is the best! Speedy has a great time and I feel comfortable knowing he is safe and being cared for. Enis is always quick to respond and will send pictures and updates as requested. Speedy looks forward to his next time thereb
Kinjal was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She was able to take her at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, so I could see that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Kinjal is caring, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! 🐶❤️
Another great stay with Funda, this time for 5 nights. As usual she took great care of our girl Okoye. She shared regular updates with pics and videos of our girl enjoying the big fenced in yard. We hate to leave her but when we do I always trust Funda to take great care of her. 100% recommend booking with her, it’s clear the whole family loves dogs.
My dog immediately liked Karla and didn't mind a bit when I left the house. Karla did an excellent job of sharing photos and updates during my dog's stay, so I was always at ease. I greatly appreciated how flexible Karla was with the advance notice changes to the pickup and drop off times. If I ever need overnight care again, I've got Karla on speed dial!
We had a great experience all around with our booking with Lisa. Her accommodation to provide a safe and welcoming home for our dog was more than satisfactory! She is a professional. I am hyper vigilant when it comes to my dog, and Lisa addressed and reassured me of my every concern. There was an immediate connection between our dog, Lisa, and her family. I highly recommend Lisa for the excellent service that she provides!
Keisy was wonderful! She kept me up to date everyday with messages and pictures, and she was responsive, friendly and kind. She also accepted my request at the last minute, when my other plans fell through, she was a total lifesaver! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. My pups came home happy, healthy and well cared for.
Katherine took fantastic care of our two pups! This was our first time boarding with her, so naturally a bit nervous, but almost immediately after dropping off we started getting updates about the dogs. Photos and videos, showing happy and well-cared for dogs with wagging tails! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our fur babies and putting us at ease!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garfield on Rover is $65 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,904 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.
