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.
“Book Enis right away!! He was amazing with our Fur baby! I was a little nervous since this was his first boarding stay (3 nights) but I got updates everyday texts/pictures which I was so happy about. I will definitely book him next time without any hesitation. Overall if I can give him more stars I would!!! Just honestly AMAZING! ?”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“Zuleyka watched our dog Nova for 2 nights and two days. She was accommodating to find a drop-off time that worked for both of us, even suggesting I could drop off the night before rather than super early in the morning. She asked me how often I wanted updates and sent that information as agreed upon. She asks questions ahead of time about Nova's demeanor and needs so Nova would be cared for as needed. Drop off and pick up went smoothly. Thank you!”
“Mohini was great with Lola. I reached out to her on the last scheduled day saying I needed her to keep Lola an extra day and she said that would not be a problem. She also shared multiple photos of how Lola was doing. Thanks again Mohini”
“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“So happy we found Kathy and Ben to watch our Jeffrey! They were thoughtful about ensuring he had food, water, plenty of walks and play, and we got photos and videos throughout the day. We will definitely be going back and are so happy we found such great people to take care of our dog. We also got a special note about Jeffrey’s stay, which was so sweet to read ?”
“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.”
“Our pup had a great time with Andrew! He is a very high energy breed and requires lots of exercise, and Andrew was the perfect fit. He was also super responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us at ease”
“We are so happy we found Keisy! She was calm and accommodating. She helped with navigating around rover as I was not familiar or any questions I had. She answered all questions I had.”
“We were out of state for a week, and Gargi and Sourav went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Zeytin. They made sure she had a blast by taking her to the pond for swimming, which she absolutely loves, and spent time playing with her using sticks—her favorite activity. They kept us updated with little notes about how she was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. Zeytin came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We’re so thankful for their kindness and fantastic care!”
“Denise was a god sent ! She helped us out by picking Louie up and watching him last minute after our dog sitter had a death in her family , and I was away on vacation ! Highly recommend -l”
“Yuberkis is an amazing sitter! My dog Louis has been under her care several times and we have had a great experience each time. Yuberkis is very kind and responsive during your pets stay. I always have peace of mind leaving Louis because I know he is in good hands!”
“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”
“My dog Simon had a wonderful time at Stephanie's home. We took a 7-day getaway, so we were nervous about how he would do. Stephanie kept us updated daily, which eased our worries, and she sent many pictures. Simon didn't miss love or hugs and felt at home. He also made friends with her dog. Thank you for caring for our Simon! 🤗”
“I had the pleasure of booking Kevin for a life-saving last minute booking and not only did he make it work with zero complaints but he was absolutely phenomenal with my little bud. Amazing with his communication as well as updates and pictures/videos ! I was so glad to hear that he was able to manage with such little time how to maneuver with my sometimes odd and overly energetic pup. Highly recommend to others and will be booking again 🥰”
“Euitae is very professional and flexible. Vito looked well taken care of and seemed right at home with Euitae and Winston. I’m glad Vito has new friends in the neighborhood!”
“Tricia was an amazing sitter for our pup, Milly. She incorporated water play, activity, and snuggles for our baby. We know she had an awesome time. Tricia was very communicative and detailed in her care. We received so many pictures of Milly during her stay. Peace of mind! Thank you Tricia for being so loving to our Milly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garfield
Funda and family took such great care of Summer while we were away for a long weekend. They were super communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. Summer had the best time, especially exercising in the big backyard. We’d leave Summer with Funda and family in a heartbeat, and I know she’d be excited to hang with them again too!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Garfield on Rover is $61.84 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 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 14,360 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.
