We found Melanie on Rover.com and she was great! She lives close to us, which made us feel a lot better about leaving our dog. She gave our dog such great personal care, followed all the feeding instructions perfectly and handled the medicines and supplements exactly like we asked. She gave us regular updates with pictures of our dog . She has worked previously in a vet clinic so she’s confident and knows what she’s doing with animals. Melanie is reliable and clearly loves pets. We’ll definitely book her again!

Since we rescued Sedona in October and this was her 1st time staying with a dog sitter, we were a little nervous with how she would be with a sitter. How fortunate were we to find Zuzel! Sedona requires 3 different types of eye drops to be given 3 times a day. We were so happy to find someone willing to care for our special needs fur baby. Zuzal and her daughter were so kind and caring. They put us and Sedona atease

I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!

Tiara was amazing. Our usual sitter was away and Yanni and I had to adjust to a new experience. Yanni has significant separation anxiety and consistency is important for him. Since he's never been exposed to cats while we were together, Tiara was open and flexible and open to a trial for a day before my week long travel. She was significantly attentive and informative the entire time. I received updates and picture confirmation unprompted. I knew we were in great hands! Would books again hands down!

About: When I was 11 years old, I brought home a Collie named Lucy. She was a sweet girl, and our whole neighborhood helped feed and care for her. That’s when I truly fell in love with dogs. I would love to spend time with your pet and give them the same love, attention, and care. Your dog will be treated like family and surrounded by love and kindness. 🐾 I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I’d love to take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention! 🐾❤️ I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my home. I will follow their regular feeding, walking, and potty schedule, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water. I will also respect their individual personality and needs. My goal is for your pet to feel at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️

This is my fourth or fifth time booking with Jordy, honestly, I’ve used him so many times I’ve lost count! 😂 It has basically become a weekly routine for Beanz, and I couldn’t be happier that I came across Jordy’s profile. The biggest thing for me is how comfortable Beanz is with him. When I drop him off, Beanz is basically like, “Bye-bye, Mommy! See you later!” 😂 He doesn’t even look back! As a dog mom, that tells me everything I need to know. I can clearly see that Beanz feels safe, comfortable, and loved, and I truly feel like Jordy treats him as if he were his own. Jordy is always responsive, dependable, and easy to communicate with. He’s also conveniently located close to us, which makes everything even better. Most importantly, my dog is HAPPY and I can see it every single time I pick him up. I highly recommend Jordy and will definitely continue booking with him. Finding someone you genuinely trust with your dog is priceless, and I’m so glad we found him! ❤️🐾

Jacqueline was absolutely wonderful with Max! From the moment we connected, she made sure I felt completely comfortable before I left him in her care. While I was away, she kept me updated every single day with messages and pictures, letting me know how Max was doing. Those daily updates gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear that he was being well cared for and loved. I truly appreciated her communication, professionalism, and the genuine care she showed Max. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter! 🐾❤️

This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.

Jenn is the first sitter we’ve ever used for our one year old yorkie. We were so nervous but ended up having the best experience. Jenn was very responsive and sent us pictures throughout the day. Also a plus that her kids were there to play with our Bella and keep her engaged. I can tell she felt so loved. We will be using Jenn again very soon.

Jessica is the most wonderful rover dog sitter ever!! Responsive and always updating with cute pictures. My Lola is in the best hands ever when I go away. Truly appreciate her and her husband for taking care of my baby. We moved 40mins away and we could not find a new rover sitter that even compares to her. Highly recommend ♥️

FAQs for Boarding - Garwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Garwood on Rover is $53.28 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 14,047 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garwood. About 88% of Garwood 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.
