“Amanda was such a great sitter and I cannot recommend her enough. Her communications, flexibility and care she had for our dogs put as at ease while we were away. She took the time to really understand our dogs and their different personalities. The photos of the dogs showed how much fun they were having. Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Sulay was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I left him with her for the weekend and she sent me all the updates, she’s so responsible, her boys loved him, and her dog Hunter was really good with him too. I feel totally confident in her abilities and would absolutely leave him with her again. She’s so sweet, book her for your next dog sitting!”

“Jia took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She made sure he was comfortable and entertained. He seems to have had a good time! We also got daily updates. We’d highly recommend Jia as a cat sitter.”
“Jamin was wonderful. Very accommodating to our changing scheduled and arrival times. We were in touch throughout my dog’s stay with him. Zuko and Dante came back home happy and energized. I’ll 100% leave my babies under his care and totally recommend him.”
“Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️”
“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!!”
“This was my 2nd time using Javier’s service and he is just awesome with my dog Button! He’s so loving and attentive with my dog! It’s good to know that there are people that are loving and caring for animals ❤️❤️❤️”
“I left my puppy Leo with Veronica for a week and I’m sure he enjoyed it and had a great time, he almost didn’t want to come back home when I came to pick him up ? also she was very responsive. Great dog sitter! Will recommend.”
“Enrique took great care of our pup while we were out of town for a week. He was responsive, sent pictures and updates the whole time. I would definitely book with Enrique again!!”
“Grace was amazing! I left my dog with her for 10 days and she took very good care of him. She kept me updated, and sent pictures and videos so I would not miss him too much. She is very responsive. I would absolutely leave Chico with her again He was very happy when he came back home, he definitely had a good time :)”
“Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter for our labradoodle and it was a great experience with Sal and Troy! They were great sitters, responded quickly, were flexible, accommodating and took great care of our furry family member! I liked how he came home clean, happy, didn’t have to be crated and was able to feel relaxed and play with other dogs! It was like he got a mini vacation while we were on ours ?! We will definitely be using Sal and Troy again!!! Thank you!”
About: I am a school psychologist in Palisades Park. I have owned dogs my entire life. I love a dog's need for attention and their energy and unconditional love! During the summer, I can be available most days and most times during the day. I am available most evenings. I'm an early bird! I am looking forward to becoming friends with your dog while getting our exercise. I am also looking forward to your pet getting the attention he or she needs. I'm friendly, honest, loyal, and looking forward to a new adventure. I have a dog, Stephen. He is 3 years old and lives at home with me and my husband. Reach out to see if we’re a good match! I’m available some weekends. I can take them on walks, follow a schedule, and love a routine. My current dog is chill and likes other dogs too. How would you like me to take care of your dog? You just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions. I know how important it is to have a trusting person watch my dog. Your dog is allowed on my bed, couch, and wherever he may be comfortable.
“Samantha was an amazing sitter! She had such a peaceful and caring energy about her, which is something I really look for when choosing someone to care for Gemini. She kept me updated every day, her communication was great, and I genuinely felt at peace knowing he was in good hands. She took such great care of him, and I really appreciated that. I would definitely have her watch Gemini again 🙌🏾💛 Gemi misses her already!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly 15 years. Since very young I’ve always had love for dogs. I have a 15 year old dog that’s partially blind and deaf that I take extra care of. I’m also a full time nanny for a 1 year old girl and I watch their family senior dog. I make sure he goes out for walks, change his diaper, clean up any accidents and of course give him treats and cuddles. 🥰 I’m currently a full time nanny who works 8-5 or 5:40. I do check-ins throughout the day during my full time job and my spouse gets home earlier so they’ll be able to help out until i get home. After work I’ll be available to care for your pet in the evenings and have them stay overnight. I’m also available on Tuesday after 12 pm. On the weekends I can commit to a full day as needed. I make sure they have their meals on time, take them out for walks. If they’re senior dogs I’ll change diapers, clean up any accidents and make sure they’re comfortable. Any medication I’ll make sure they take them too!
“Michael was so communicative and supportive with Luna as my trip got interrupted last minute. I appreciated the photos and constant updates that were shared. Luna was in great hands when I left her and knew when I picked her up! Thanks again for taking such good care of Luna.”
“Jane was wonderful with Lucy! She gave her lots of attention and understood her quirks. She even spoon-fed her when she didn't want to eat! They went on walks and cuddled on her couch. Not to mention the great picture and videos she sent me. When we were leaving, Lucy kept looking back to see if Jane was coming along 😊 Thank you Jane for taking care of my Lucy!!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jhajanny! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love dogs. They were attentive, punctual, and incredibly warm with Mocha, who can be a bit shy around new people. They took the time to learn her routines and quirks, sent regular updates with photos, and made sure she got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I came back, Mocha was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Jhajanny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”

Dublin enjoyed his time staying with Jestine, and he came back, clean, happy, and healthy. Justine took the time to meet with us ahead of boarding to make us feel comfortable with the arrangement and to get detailed information on Dublin’s Care Boarding him for 12 days was tough, but I knew he was in good hands and well taken care of which made it easier and less worrisome for me.
There is truly no one better than Jordy! Leaving your pup is never easy, but the level of extra care, love, and attention he gave to our pup went completely above and beyond. What really sets him apart was his incredible communication. I received regular, detailed updates and the sweetest photos, which gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. It was so clear that our pup wasn't just being looked after. He was being genuinely loved and bonded with Jordy's kind energy. If you need a sitter who treats your dog like their absolute own and keeps you connected every step of the way, Jordy is the only choice. I just cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so very much.
We had a wonderful experience! Akshay was amazing and kept us updated with lovely messages, photos, and videos throughout our dog’s stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we would definitely book again! 🐾❤️
Marlo was amazing with our dog Zoe! She took her on walks every day and sent updates and pictures letting us know how she was doing. She even got her a new toy and treats! Marlo went above and beyond what I expected, and we’ll definitely use her again when we go out of town.
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!
Natasha was absolutely amazing with my 7yo Cavapoo - Champ. We had a meet and greet and Champ liked her from the get go. She was very patient with us while we were figuring out our travel plans and was very communicative throughout. Champ isn’t great with other dogs and has a couple of other “peculiarities” but Natasha was great at accommodating all of them. We were at ease and comfortable that Champ’s every need was being met while we were away. I highly recommend Natasha and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.
Najja is amazing! She’s very reliable, trustworthy, and always comes through for me, even when I need someone on short notice. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and I know he’s always well taken care of. I truly appreciate how dependable and accommodating she is. I definitely recommend Najja to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their fur baby!
Jamin is always a fantastic sitter. He follows instructions, communicates well, and is flexible with our schedule. For this trip, our flight had a few delays and was expected to land late. Jamin was kind enough to drive and drop off Diamond back at our home, which was hugely helpful. As always, couldn’t recommend Jamin enough.
Breanna and Myah were amazing. They sent me pictures of Dior the entire time they were with her. They were very good to communicate with , they payed good attention to Diors food regimen and even bought her along to the stores with them. Will 100% use them again next time Dior needs a sitter. I was nervous at first leaving my doggy with a stranger but they made the entire experience amazing. 10/10 experience and great communication.
Kayla is absolutely fantastic. She has the sweetest daughter who hung out with our pup a ton, I could tell our dog had an amazing time with Kayla and her fam. Kayla was also wonderful with sending photo updates, our dog was being cuddled in most of the photos! Would 1000% rebook with her and we probably will very soon!! Kayla is amazing.
I am a repeat customer which speaks to the quality of care Johara provides to my dogs. She is reliable, caring, communicative, and always treat my pets like her own. What really stands out is how she pays attention to the little things that make my fur babies comfortable and happy, which gives me so much peace of mind while away. I truly appreciate her consistency, thoughtfulness, and genuine care, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Irvington is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 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 14,407 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Irvington. About 88% of Irvington 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.
