“Beautifull took such great care of my older kitty, I could tell he enjoyed his stay and felt comfortable around her. From giving him his daily medication to dealing with his stubbornness, Beautifull was super patient with him ◡̈”
“Great pet sitter! My dog is excited every time he sees them. Super accommodating. My dog has a strict diet and they had no problem with handling it. Always go above and beyond while taking care of Jeter. Highly recommend!”
“We had such a great experience Ankita! She truly made my dog feel right at home from the moment he arrived. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I especially loved that he was never alone. She and her family were always around, giving him plenty of attention and making him feel like part of the household. He also had a blast spending time with their dog, Panther. They got along great, and it made the whole experience even more fun like a vacation for my dog. I could tell from the updates and how he was when I picked him up that he had an amazing time. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!”
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. 🐶❤️
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“We were happy to have found Tracy and Steven on Rover. They were good communicators and shared fun updates while they took care of our dog. If your dog is playful and enjoys time with other dogs, this is good choice for your dog.”
“Ryan and Jefra took wonderful care of Pika! They were very responsive and accommodating, and they sent me regular updates and beautiful photos of my pup during the week I was away. Highly recommend!”
“It has been a long time since I've had to board my pets with someone I didn't know. It is hard enough to leave our fur babies in the care of a friend or family member, but it is an more nerve-wracking experience to place them into the care of a stranger. Michael assuaged those fears before we even met him! He asked all the right questions about our boy's needs from the get-go (he's a large senior dog with arthritis) and gave me frequent updates and pictures of how he was doing. He walked our boy judiciously and gave him all of his food and medications just as we would. He was wonderful. It was such a relief knowing that our boy was in such capable, caring hands. We're in town for work but are lucky enough to have weekends off. We picked our boy up today and he looked so happy and healthy. Michael did such a great job that we're going to utilize his services again next week. I just can't say enough good things about him.”
“Wow! Teddy was very well loved during her stay with Amanda! She sent multiple pictures daily and didn't get upset when I would check in with her about how Teddy was adjusting. She gave Teddy all the cuddles, all the walks Teddy needed, and was comfortable giving Teddy her allergy medication daily. Amanda was kind enough to do a meet and greet prior to booking && was so genuine and caring. It made our drop off way easier for Teddy and I. I would highly recommend her!”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“I was so relieved that Beanie was in such good hands with Suely while we were away on a family trip for 10 days. I got pictures and an update every day, seeing Beanie play with other dogs, go for walks, and snuggle with Suely's family. Every day my whole family would stop to look at the pictures, delighting in the knowledge that Suely was taking such good care of our little Beanie. We'll definitely be back!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“This was our second time leaving Nipsey & Rosie with Lindsey, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! Lindsey and her family take such wonderful care of our dogs and treat them with so much love and attention. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re away. We’re truly so thankful we found Lindsey and couldn’t recommend her enough! Nipsey & Rosie are always so happy and well cared for when they’re with her.”
“100% recommending Alin's services! she is a sweetheart, she take care of my baby 4 months old for almost a week, and she was great! Every day they sent me videos, and kept me posted. She take very good care of my baby. I will definitely use her services again ❤️”
“Mariia has been amazing! She has watched my pup several times and she’s always taken great care of him, given him lots of play time and walks. I recommend you book with Mariia every time!! That’s what I do 👍🏾”
“Cathy and her family is the best. Harry loves staying at their house. She updates you with pictures and information about what have happened during the days. Harry is already looking forward to next time!”
“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She was so loving and attentive with Xena and Doug and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent frequent updates and photos, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave them throughout their stay. Our dogs clearly adored her and had the best time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Caitlin with them again!”
“Alicia was amazing and took great care of our kitten. She was so patient and kept us informed throughout our trip. My family recommends her for all your sitting needs, and we will definitely use her again! Thanks Alicia!!”

Sarah was amazing! We had a last minute visit with family in the area (family is allergic to cats) and Sarah swooped in to save the day. We dropped our kitty off at her place, which was so clean, and we immediately felt comfortable. She understood that our kitty needed some time to warm up and gave her space, sent lots of pics, and ultimately was able to give her some cuddles! Will def be reaching out to Sarah again when we are in the area!
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!
Enis was fantastic with Koda during his first-ever boarding stay (about 22 days). He arranged a pre-stay visit so Koda could get comfortable, sent us photos throughout, and Koda clearly had a great time with the other dogs. He came home happy and full of energy. Highly recommended!
This is the second time we used Karen to watch our cat Lucky while we were on vacation. Karen does a great job, I received pictures everyday and sadly enough my cat seemed happier with her than my wife and I who treat him like a king. I feel comfortable leaving my pets with Karen because I know she will do a nice job caring for them and making sure they are safe and happy. We had a worry free vacation because we knew we can count on Karen. Jim and Yoko
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!
Jessica has been absolutely wonderful - she provided great care for our dog while we were away. Our dog is very slow to trust people but Jessica managed to gain his trust almost immediately. She took great care in providing him his medications plus his dietary food, and it was obvious that he had a great time staying with her! Thank you Jessica!
I absolutely loved the service! They took such great care of Bella, and I always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her with them. I really appreciated the constant updates and the photos they sent me, which gave me so much peace of mind. The space they have for the dogs is also perfect—comfortable, spacious, and designed for them to feel happy and at ease. I’m very grateful for how well they treated Bella and would definitely recommend them! 🐾❤️

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Garfield is $66 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.
There are 14,423 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
