“Maisha is the best dog sitter ever! She sends updates/pictures often, and ensured that my fur baby was having the best time. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable adapting to all personalities ~ from energetic and social to more shy or sensitive. Growing up, our home always had multiple dogs, so I’m very used to different temperaments, routines, and dynamics. I’ve also had hands-on experience supporting pregnant dogs and caring for litters, including situations where extra attention and patience were needed early on. Over time, I’ve learned that every dog is different, and I take the time to understand their behavior, energy, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very social and friendly, and since we’re new to the area, she would love to make some new friends as well. I’m happy to care for your dog in whatever way they need ~ whether that’s boarding, drop-in visits, or a relaxed walk around your neighborhood. My goal is always to provide dependable care and make the experience easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. I look forward to connecting with you! I currently work full-time in a hybrid remote role. I offer my services on days I’m working from home so I can give your dog consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. If you need boarding services, you can expect that your dog would spend their time lounging in my home with me and my dog, Khalesi. We have a fenced-in dog park within the community, but I prefer to take them on long strolls near the grassy areas so they can get plenty of new smells to sniff.
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our little boy!! He was so comfortable with you!! We will definitely have you care for him again when we are in the area! Also, we are very appreciative that you agreed to watch him on such short notice!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
“Our dog Happy had a great stay with Brianna. It was the first time we ever boarded our dog, so we were nervous at first, but Brianna was very welcoming and our dog warmed up to her quickly. This was our quick test to make sure our dog (and we) could handle the separation for a short period of time, as a bridge to boarding her for a longer stretch of time. Our dog passed due to Brianna's hospitality, so we are much more comfortable boarding her for a longer stay with Brianna very soon! Thanks so much, Brianna and family!”
“Could not recommend Sanaz enough, she is communicative, charismatic and reasonably flexible about drop off and pick up. We have a big, high energy dog and he came home a tired boy!”
About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.
“Rochelle was wonderful for my kitty Zeno. He seemed sad to leave ?. She sent photos and gave him his daily vitamins, and even bought new food for him when he started turning down his own food. The environment seemed calm and quiet for my very timid old cat. She cleaned out his litter and food dish and packed up his things when it was time to go. I would definitely trust her with my kitty again!”
“Nicolle and Ronaldo were amazing! I can’t recommend them enough! I truly felt like my doggo was on his own vacation full of cuddles, play time, and safe socializing. Nicolle and Ronaldo provided updates daily that put my mind at ease. They are extremely caring, accommodating, communicative, and kind hearted dog people who truly understand the anxiety and worry that comes with traveling without your fur baby. They have extensive knowledge of proper dog care and treat your pup like their own. If you want your pet to have a home away from home with the absolute best care, I recommend them every day of the week! Incredible experience! :)”
“My Morkie Carmelo had such a calm and restful time in Enrique's care. Carmelo immediately warmed up to him from our meet and greet and I felt at ease with a knowing that my senior 14 yo dog would be well cared for. Enrique also kept me updated and sent me the most adorable pics, which helped me since I was missing my baby. Enrique is a great sitter.”
“THE BEST dog sitters! Our pup stayed with them for only one night and we received many updates and pictures. Super responsive and kind! 100% would recommend!”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”

Jordano was wonderful! He sent regular updates on my pup (Doc Holliday) and was very patient and understanding while he adjusted to a new place. Jordano and his mom took exceptional care of Doc and showed him lots of love and attention. They even went above and beyond by giving him a bath and getting him a couple extra toys. All in all, it was a phenomenal experience. Definitely recommend!
MAISHA IS THE BEST 🥰 Her service is absolutely exceptional, and I recommend her 100% 😉. She looked after my Max for the first time; I had been searching for someone trustworthy for over three years until I found her, and we couldn't have left Max in better hands. Her professionalism and love for animals were evident from the very start—she has two pets of her own, so Max was happy hanging out with his little friends. She was incredibly attentive the whole time, keeping us updated with constant photos and messages, which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away—and that peace of mind was exactly what I was looking for. Her communication and dedication are impeccable. If you’re looking for someone completely trustworthy to care for your pet, don’t hesitate to choose her; I recommend her 100%... We will definitely be using her services again...
Our family had an amazing experience with Gisselle! From the moment we booked, she went above and beyond to make sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable. She kept us updated throughout their stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The best part was seeing how genuinely happy our dogs were. They absolutely adored Gisselle, and they had such a great time with her sweet dog too! It was clear they were treated like part of the family, receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, we can’t recommend Gisselle enough. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Jenni is an amazing pet sitter! The perfect dog mom replacement for when I need to leave Gus behind. She is very communicative and sent wonderful update photos. Gus is a nervous nelly and gets a little bit of separation anxiety and by the second update picture, I could tell he was already relaxed with her.
I can't recommend Darrin and Debra enough! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine stayed consistent, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone who is not only reliable but also truly passionate about animals. I will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Brooklyn! She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly patient and understanding with his little quirks, and it was clear he was well cared for and loved. She even accommodated us for an extra night when our flight was delayed, which we were so grateful for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 🐾💛
Lifu was very kind and communicative! She took care of my pups over a week with a last minute requests and they both came back very well taken care of. She provided lots of pics and updates without asking and set my mind at ease while away. Could not recommend her more!
From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harrison on Rover is $55.5 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harrison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Harrison sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Harrison landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Harrison home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Harrison.
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 Harrison 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
