“I cannot say enough about Debi. Leaving our puppy for the first time was difficult but Debi made it a wonderful experience. We got frequent pics videos and texts that warmed our hearts and ensured us that Abby was safe and happy. It was like we left her with family.”
“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”
“Would highly recommend Yvette as a dog sitter! I left my 11 year old dog Ziggy with her for a week while I was on vacation and I could tell from the daily pictures and videos that she sent me how much Ziggy felt like he was at home. Normally when I get back from a trip Ziggy is overly excited to see me but he was calm and happy when I picked him up which I think speaks to how much he was cared for and how at ease he felt all week. We will definitely be returning clients, thank you Yvette!!!”
“Subangi and Thana - Thank you again for making Momo feel at home with your loving care. He loves going to you and has such a good time with his friends each time he visits. Thanks !”

“Raj is an excellent dog sitter. Raj easy going, paying attention to detail and accommodating. Raj kept sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. Will book again, no doubt.”
“Very kind, thoughtful boarder. Updated me constantly with pictures and videos. Even took extra time at odd hours to stay with my dog when she was crying from separation anxiety and I am so grateful.”
“My fiance and I travel home to Boston every other weekend and William is our go to for Rocco our rambunctious 1 1/2 year old. He enjoys his time he spends with Will. Will lets Rocco play in the yard and has been working with him on his fetch game and giving up his toy. I believe William is the safest person, and best person we have found. I get pictures of Rocco and Will is very attentive to his schedule.”
“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”
“Meaghan was wonderful with my 10 year old Shitzu. She was friendly, loving, and easy to work with. My dog loved her and felt part of her family instantly. I felt like I was leaving him with family. She has a nice house and large fenced in backyard. I was very impressed with Meaghan.”
“My dog is so well cared for when she’s with Jalisa. The entire family loves on my fur baby so much that sometimes I have to drag her away. I am a repeat customer and will be as long as Jalisa will have us.”
“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“I highly recommend Marsha and her husband. My Betty is very shy around other people and they took their time with her as she acclimated into their home. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable boarder. I will for sure be using their service again.”
“Very happy with Savi! This was my first time leaving my dog Zola anywhere. She started with day care and then spent almost a week with Savi. I was updated daily with photos and videos. I knew Zola was in great hands. Leaving your dog at a new place can be anxiety-provoking for both owner and dog, but I actually felt calm and reassured with Savi. Highly recommend!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I've always loved all animals since I was a kid but have a special affinity for dogs and cats. I lost my sweet pup, Ewan, in 2019 to Hemangiocarcoma (a blood cancer) and to this day I still mourn him and can feel his presence in my life. I also lost my dear cat, Figaro, last year to natural old age causes. I'm a very good dog and cat dad and miss them terribly. In the past few years, so many friends and family have asked me to pet sit their fur babies and they always remark that they know their dog or cat is in the best possible hands with me. That they can actually relax on their trip because of how responsible and devoted I am to their pets and how much their pets adore me. Everyone has been encouraging me to sign up for Rover and now I'm finally doing it! I honestly believe Ewan and Figaro guided me here in their own way to spend time with your beloved kiddos. I look forward to getting to meet you and your pets! I work remotely from home as a story consultant and my longest sessions are around 2 hours, so I have most of the day to hang out with your fur baby! If your pet is staying at my place, they'll most likely hang out with me in the large loft area where I work. So they won't be left alone (unless they're the type that needs their space!) The minute they tell me they need to go out for a walk or really just need attention, I'm all theirs. If they're used to taking naps or sleeping on the bed at night, that also is fine by me! :) If I'm at your place, of course I'll abide by your exact rules for them. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Helmetta
We had a wonderful experience with Lenny! Our dog Doudou is a senior dog with limited mobility in his back legs, so he requires extra care and attention. Lenny took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It means so much to us knowing Doudou was in such caring and capable hands. We’re truly grateful for Lenny’s kindness and patience. Highly recommend!
Amanda was absolutely wonderful!!! She took care of our dog with so much care, kindness, and love. She was very communicative throughout our time away, and we loved receiving her frequent updates and pictures of our dog. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for she was while we were on vacation. We could tell she was in very good hands, and Amanda made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. We would absolutely choose her again without a doubt and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pet 🤗❤️
Sindy is a wonderful sitter! This was my second time booking with her, and once again she took such great care of Frankie. I loved getting updates with pictures and videos throughout the week, it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frankie always comes home clean, happy, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
This was our first time leaving Leo. We were very anxious of how Leo would cope with the separation. Dhara and family took extremely good care of him and provided us with constant updates. They gave him timely meals and walked him. They treated Leo as they would treat their own. I would without any hesitation leave Leo with the family and not have second thoughts about it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Helmetta is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $69 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 of October 2026, there are 2,752 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Helmetta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Helmetta 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 Helmetta 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 Helmetta.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Helmetta 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.
