“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
“From the moment she started pet sitting, it was clear that she genuinely cares about dogs. My pup, Daisy, is always happy and relaxed when she gets home, which speaks volumes about Rosemeri’s care.

Her understanding and flexibility make coordinating pet care a breeze. I highly recommend Rosemeri to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kearny
Maisha, is the best. We left our pup with her during our wedding and she made sure that our pup was fed and constantly sent update updates to let us know that our pup was okay. Maisha, was very communicative and responsive from the beginning and maintained communication throughout the whole process. We were a little nervous as this was our first experience using Rover however, we will definitely continue to use it in the future and book again with Maisha. Dont be hesitant, shes the best!!
Maryn and Steven took such good care of Bo! They went above and beyond caring for him since he was have some digestive issues that popped up. Maryn has lots of patience and her care reassured me he was in good hands. Lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend Maryn!
Angela was amazing! We were away for three days and she looked after our two miniature Schnauzers like they were her own. She kept sending us updates the whole time with our pups happy and playing, which honestly made the trip so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. She made sure we felt totally at ease leaving them with her, and you can just tell she really knows what she’s doing. We had such a great experience and will definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend! 🐾
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!
Neide is the only person I’ve trusted with my dog Champ ever since we moved to NJ. She’s amazing - very attentive, caring and great at communicating. I never worry about him when he’s with Neide and he always looks so happy to see her and happy on all the photos and videos she sends me during his stay. I couldn’t recommend Neide more!
I boarded my dogs with Lindsey for 2 weeks and she is amazing! Both of my dogs got comfortable quickly with her, they were comfortable with her cats and dog. She gave me updates on my dogs throughout the time and also pictures which I really appreciated. I didn’t have to worry or anything the dogs were great with her and I would have her again watch the dogs in the future. She is responsive, caring to the dogs, gives updates/ pictures, very flexible with drop off and pick up times, I highly recommend Lindsey.
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!!!!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kearny
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kearny on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,046 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kearny. 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 Kearny 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 Kearny 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 Kearny 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 Kearny.
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 Kearny 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.
