“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!!”
“First Impressions Boarding my dog, Lilly, with someone outside the family for the first time made me a little nervous. My granddaughter, who had used Rover before, helped me submit the application and choose a sitter. Even on the way to drop Lilly off, I still felt apprehensive, but that quickly changed when Teresa gave us such a warm welcome and Lilly and I were greeted by Teresa’s three friendly dogs. Although Lilly seemed a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon relaxed after playing in Teresa’s large backyard, and I felt comfortable leaving her there. Updates During Her Stay Teresa reassured me that Lilly would be well cared for and promised to keep me updated. She followed through by sending photos and notes about how Lilly was sleeping, eating, and taking her medicine, which I really appreciated. Pickup and Overall Experience When I picked Lilly up, Teresa told me what a joy she had been to care for. She said Lilly was very sweet, that her daughter had fallen in love with her, and even one of her dogs had taken a liking to her. Teresa also said Lilly would be welcome back anytime. I left feeling grateful for the care Lilly received and would happily trust Teresa with her again.”
“Tracy and Steven were absolutely wonderful! Gigi had the best weekend playing and making friends with the other dogs. I loved receiving frequent photos, videos, and updates showing just how happy she was. It was so comforting knowing she was in such loving, caring hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily leave Gigi with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of my girl!”
“5/5 Stars — Absolutely Outstanding Care! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caroline! She boarded my Miniature Schnauzer, Mikey, for a few days while I was away, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From day one, her friendly and welcoming nature put my mind completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular texts, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear right from the start how kind, loving, and attentive she is with animals. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anyone better. By the end of the experience, it felt like a family member had taken care of my dog. I will definitely be reaching out to Caroline again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.”
“Nahla had an awesome experience with Tammy. They made her feel right at home in our absence. Nahla is very affectionate and desires a lot of attention, so Tammy gave her a lot of extra TLC. I would definitely book another stay.”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“Elsie always has the best time with Marcy and her beautiful family! They treat her like she is their own pet. Elsie comes home tired and content. Thank you again for taking such great care of our puppy.”
“Heidy was great! She took care of my pup Lady when I had to travel for a last-minute trip and it was incredibly easy. She’s easy to communicate with and I think Lady had a good time.”
“Rosemeri was a doll! She took such good care of my fur baby. I was skeptical about this site and interviewed many people before deciding. She sent pictures and videos daily, as well as daily reports of my pups activity. I smiled the entire time while On vacation knowing that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be using Rosemeri again!!!”
“Melanie is great with our puppy, Romeo! He always loves going over there to see her, and she taught him to use the potty bells!! She is also very flexible, sometimes I have to pick him up late at night and she is very understanding! We bring him over all the time and will continue to!”
“Darien took wonderful care of my dog, Coco, over the course of four days. She sent us photos and videos frequently including the times Coco ate, slept, and went to the bathroom, ensuring Coco was safe and sound. In addition, Darien provided free grooming for Coco, not only treating her with care but also with talent. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”
“Christian and his family are truly amazing! I left Murphy with them for the second time, and he felt right at home—he ran right in without hesitation. That made me so happy. I received picture updates throughout the weekend, which was perfect. They treated Murphy like he was their own dog, and I can't thank them enough. I really appreciate it!”
About: Hi, I’m Jonny! I’ve had a special connection with animals for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, my mother unexpectedly gave away our family dog without telling me, and that experience stayed with me. It gave me an early understanding of just how deep the bond between people and their pets can be. Over the years, I’ve continued learning about dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care, including being inspired by shows like The Dog Whisperer. My goal has always been to better understand animals and provide the kind of patient, attentive, and loving care I would want for my own pets. That passion eventually led me to create our modern Doggy Daycare Suites, where dogs can feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re away from home. I am an entrepreneur working in the health technology and personal development space, along with my wife. I spend plenty of time caring for pets while working toward our business goals. My hours are flexible, including nights and weekends. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites for 4-6 hours and even overnight stays! I am very active; I go on walks twice per day, rain or shine, and I am happy to keep your pets active and safe. I am available to watch your pets with drop-in visits or take them out for walks, whatever your pets require to be healthy, happy, and active. We now offer Doggy Day Care - Modern Suites, a beautiful, safe, and spacious home away from home for your dog!
“This was my first time using a dog sitter, so naturally I was pretty nervous about leaving my dog, Leo. However, all of those worries disappeared as soon as I dropped him off. Leo felt right at home from the start, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Enis was great about keeping me updated throughout the stay, and when I asked for a few extra photos and videos to ease my mind, he was more than happy to provide them. It was reassuring to know Leo was being well cared for and comfortable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Enis again. Highly recommended!”
“We left both of our dogs for a weekend stay with Sriram and Rekha and they did an amazing job taking care of them. We got plenty of pictures and updates. The dogs came back very happy and tired from all the playing. Will definitely reach out to them in the future for other stays.”
“Angela (and her partner Dan) took great care of Truffle. They sent meticulous updates with photos throughout the day. Truffle got to spend plenty of time outside and was very comfortable in their home.”

My dog Koda had a very wonderful time staying at Christabel‘s house for the second time and I definitely will be using her moving forward whenever I go out. if you’re looking for someone who is a second Mom to your pet Christabel is who you want watching them. She treats them as if they were her own.
Andrew took great care of Nuomi. He was communicative, followed my care instructions, and I really appreciated his flexibility on drop off and pick up times. He shared daily updates while I was away for a 3 day wedding. Nuomi loved having access to their fenced backyard and lounging on their comfy couch. I would definitely recommend Andrew to my friends! Thanks again, Andrew!
Alex was great with Tahlia. He loved her like his own. Tahlia was well cared for. Tahlia was very comfortable and happy the minute she met him.

Breanna and Myah were amazing. They sent me pictures of Dior the entire time they were with her.

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.
The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Glen Ridge is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $83 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Glen Ridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Glen Ridge home-away-from-home, 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 Glen Ridge.
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 Glen Ridge 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 , 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 .
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.
