“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!”

“This was our first time leaving our pet with someone outside of our family and I cannot speaking highly enough about the incredible care provided by Erica. She was exceptionally kind and loving to our dog, shared updates and pictures of Livi throughout her stay, and very professional in all communication. We are incredibly grateful to have met Erica on Rover and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

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.”

Mary kept in contact with me daily, which I really appreciated, and gave updates that reassured me he was in great hands. She also followed all of my instructions exactly. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!”

“We left our young dog Luna with Geoff and family, and they could not have been more WONDERFUL!! They truly went above and beyond sending us so many pictures and videos of Luna having fun playing with other dogs, running in the dog park, and even splashing in a small plastic pool they set up for the dogs to cool off in their fenced in backyard. They are truly so kind and we were so at ease during our vacation knowing that Luna is having a great time on a vacation of her own! They really care for all the dogs they watch as if they are their own. We will definitely be using their services for our future boarding needs and we HIGHLY recommend them!!”

“Our pup is only 14 weeks old and he had only been with us for a few weeks. Needless to say, we were pretty nervous to leave him so soon. That all went away once we met Evelyn. We immediately felt a sense of comfort and security and decided to go with her. Best decision ever. Not only was she fantastic at constantly communicating and sending pics, but she also helped train him to go up and down stairs, something we've been struggling to do. Asher felt right at home with Evelyn and her amazing family and she will be our go-to moving forward! Thank you Evelyn for providing Asher with a wonderful second home!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for many different pets. Growing up, I helped raise two family dogs and cats so I’m comfortable with both indoor pets and larger animals. For 13 years I was the proud mom to my Shih Tzu, Bruno, who taught me just how much love, patience, and daily care go into being a great pet parent. Though he recently passed🙏, the experience of caring for him still shapes how I look after every animal in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just making sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away, I’m here to give them the kind of care you’d want for them. I currently work remotely so I am able to give your pet all the attention they deserve and need. I can leave any time for walks and vet appointments. I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who takes pet safety seriously. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual needs.

“Our anxious girl Sophie stayed with Desi and Marilyn for a week. She was so well taken care of and got to socialize with lots of friendly dogs without it being too overwhelming for her. One of the best perks is that Desi and Marilyn already have pretty much everything your dog needs. This was a huge timesaver for me when I had to pack up my human family for vacation. It also meant less stress for Sophie because she didn't see her things being packed up.”

We were worried about boarding our dog with the sitter for the first time. Kinjal was kind and let us visit to check and introduce our dog 3 days beforehand. This meeting cleared all the doubts. Kinjal has natural abilities to understand dogs, she projects come energy that instilled calm in our dog. The pictures and videos confirmed that our dog was happy there. When we came back for pickup, our dog was following her and wasn't interested in going home. We definitely will use her service again in the future. Thank you, Kinjal.

Sarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!

Funda and her family took wonderful care of my 1 year old rescue pup! He had only been with us for 4 weeks and had just started to relax…but I was nervous to leave him overnight so soon. She sent pictures and updates- and I saw he was doing great- and I immediately relaxed. I saw Max was in good hands. I would absolutely leave him with her again 😎

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Garfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Garfield on Rover is $64.38 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 14,320 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garfield. About 88% of Garfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
