“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”
“We heard about Jose through a friend that had used him. We couldn’t be happier. Jose sent pictures everyday and his response to any messages was quick. We will definitely be using Jose again!”
“We are so grateful to have found these sitters, especially last minute when our pup wasn’t feeling well. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Lucas and Katherine couldn’t have been kinder or more attentive. They were amazing with giving her medicine, checked in daily with updates on how she was eating, and taking the medicine and always sent the sweetest pictures. They even went out of their way to make sure she ate by picking up yogurt, which she loved! Our dog looked right at home and so happy the whole time, which gave us such peace of mind. Truly wonderful sitters who went above and beyond…highly recommend!”
“Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!”
“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”
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!
“Alice and her family are the best! Our beagle loves to stay at her place and we are very grateful we found them! Communication is super smooth with her and I highly recommend Alice.”
“Kristen was amazing! I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and found her. Her great reviews sold me on choosing her and it was the right choice. Very communicative and sent lots of photos! Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!”
“They were great. We were in town for a concert and we needed someone on short notice, so we messaged. They got back to us right away, great communication. I even got picture updates..”
“Jaime was wonderful with our shy little girl. She took great care to help her feel secure during her first stay away from home and kept us well informed. We have booked a longer stay with her.”
“I am so happy I chose Kajal to watch Mochi. Mochi is an anxious pup and Kajal made the whole process less stressful starting with the meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and videos during Mochi’s stay which eased my mind as this was the first time Mochi was not in our care. I really appreciate Kajal and her family looking after Mochi and will seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“Maris was amazing and so accommodating with my booking. Constant updates with Maui and lots of cute pictures ! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, I’m so grateful that you took such good care of my boy. Thank you Maris so much!!”
“Monica has watched our fur baby more times than I can count! He knows when I pull up that he’s there and can’t wait to get in the house and be with her! She is always my first choice when I have to leave him for a few hours or for a week!”
“This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾”
“Sunita was excellent and we would love to board our pups with her again. She was always available to communicate and sent photos and videos. She took great care of the pups. I really appreciate her caring attitude!!!!”
“Not sure there is enough room to leave Michael all the praise he deserves! We left our 1.5 year old golden retriever with him for a long weekend and we did not worry for a second. Michael sent us frequent updates/pictures and gave him so much exercise and love. He answered any questions we had and was very responsive. He cares a great deal about dogs- we cannot recommend him enough. Will use again!”

Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.
Michael did an amazing job watching Doodle! You could tell he genuinely adores dogs, lots of toys, a comfy bed, and he even took her on some fun outings while I was gone. Doodle had a great time and was well taken care of. Definitely recommend him if you want someone who treats your pup like family!
Rodger and his family were excellent caretakers. He was patient and understanding with our anxious dog. He provided ample updates on how our dog was doing sending videos and photos regularly which offered us comfort as we missed our dog while on vacation. The best video was seeing Rye play like he does at home which made us so happy to see. We’d definitely book with Rodger again in the future. I’m sure Rye would be happy to spend time with his new friend again!
Sharisbel was so patient with my Louis. She even has a dog of her own and they got along so good. Louis did get emotional because he missed us but Sharisbel was very patient, made sure she walked him played with him and showed him love. We will definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you soooo much. You are the best!
Kristen was amazing! I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and found her. Her great reviews sold me on choosing her and it was the right choice. Very communicative and sent lots of photos! Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!
My family and I were going away for 9 days and I didn’t want to board my dog Stormi for so long. I needed more personal care so that I could have a relaxing vacation. We met first with Stormi at Jiinjie’s home and Stormi was comfortable right away. She has great energy and her home is pet friendly with a fenced yard and space for a dog to play. She sent me pictures every day and communicated how Stormi was coming along. This really put me at ease because my dog thrives on attention. I appreciated all the videos and pictures, thank you so much Jinjie!!!
Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Iselin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 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.
As of October 2026, there are 13,295 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Iselin. 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 Iselin 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 Iselin 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 Iselin.
<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 Iselin 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.
