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.

In their care, my boy was completely at ease and had so much fun. I highly recommend Natalia and know I can definitely count on her for future visits! Thank you so much, Nata ☺️🐶

I had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She was in constant contact with me and I knew what my baby was up to all the time! She has two of the cutest kids who loved constant playtime so my puppy came home super happy. He didn’t even want to come home when I picked him up and seemed annoyed he was back. lol!! Thank you, Jennifer! I am definitely re-booking!!

About: 🐾 More Than a Pet Sitter—A Trusted Companion for Your Furry Family! 🐾 Your pets deserve more than just someone to feed them—they deserve love, patience, and personalized care while you’re away. As a dedicated pet caregiver, I treat every pet like they’re my own, providing plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and companionship to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or simply giving them the attention they crave, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in caring and reliable hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels secure until you’re back home. Because pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and family deserves the very best care. ❤️🐶🐱 As a teacher, my daily schedule has helped me develop strong time management, patience, and reliability—all qualities that make me an excellent pet caregiver. My workday follows a consistent routine, allowing me to provide dependable pet care before and after school, as well as on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals by taking them on walks, engaging them in playtime, and making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. During the summer and other school vacations, I have even greater flexibility to provide extended care, overnight stays, or multiple daily visits. Being a teacher has also strengthened my ability to stay calm, follow detailed instructions, and recognize individual needs, which helps me provide personalized care for every pet. Whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering medication, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away, you can count on me to provide reliable and compassionate care every time. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel relaxed and secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests you provide. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and supervision. I make sure they have access to fresh water, a safe space to rest, and opportunities for exercise and mental stimulation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your home as if it were my own. I keep the space clean, secure, and follow any household rules or instructions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for, while giving pet parents confidence that their furry family member is in trustworthy and dependable hands.

At the last minute we needed someone to watch our furbaby. I heard abt Rover and I came across Javier’s profile. I was impressed with the reviews and his overall profile.We had a meet and greet and Button showed immediate interest. Javier’s love and care for Button exceeded every expectation. He showered us with photos and videos, gave us recommendations and great observations of Button. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAVIER!! I live on Staten Island and have NO PROBLEMS paying the toll and potential traffic to have someone like Javier watch Button. Book him, you will not regret the experience!

Akshay seems to love animals, he was very warm with my dog Billy and sent me pictures of him every day about his activities when we were on vacations. He also took the food and elements we provided like toys and food holder. The best was that Billy could play and get fun with his can "Sirius" which was very sweet. Also we got a pleasant surprise: Billy got a Christmas gift from the entire family during Christmas day! I definitely recommend Akshay for boarding your dog!

About: ​Hello pet parents! I love working with pets of all shapes, ages, and sizes. Going on Vacation? I'm 5 minutes away from EWR Newark Airport. When your fur baby is with me, they are treated exactly like family. I strictly follow any instructions you leave behind and will provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind. ​🏡 For Boarding (Small Dogs up to 40 lbs): Because I work from home at the moment full-time, your pup will never be lonely! Going out of town or on Vacation? I'm only 5 minutes away from Newark Airport. We will have days packed with fun, including plenty of playtime in my fully fenced backyard, exciting car rides to a beautiful local park, and cozy movie-night cuddles. I specialize in smaller pets to ensure they get the dedicated space and attention they deserve. I currently have open availability! 🥰 Because I am fully dedicated to helping others care for their dogs, pet care is my daily routine! My day is entirely structured around the needs of the pups in my care. Mornings start early with fresh water, breakfast, and a neighborhood walk to stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I maintain a consistent schedule of potty breaks, lots of play time, and plenty of love. Whether you are at work or on vacation, your pup is my top priority from sunrise to bedtime. I love letting your fur babies outside to burn off their energy, and when it's time to wind down, I'm always ready for lots of playtime and cuddles. ​In my home, I have a fenced yard in my apartment for pets who will stay the day with me.

We found Melanie on Rover.com and she was great! She lives close to us, which made us feel a lot better about leaving our dog. She gave our dog such great personal care, followed all the feeding instructions perfectly and handled the medicines and supplements exactly like we asked. She gave us regular updates with pictures of our dog . She has worked previously in a vet clinic so she’s confident and knows what she’s doing with animals. Melanie is reliable and clearly loves pets. We’ll definitely book her again!

I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough, for anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry family members. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Joanne possesses a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Our dog, Siku took to her immediately, which, as any pet owner knows, is the ultimate sign of trust. Leaving your pet can be a source of anxiety, but Joanne provided us with complete peace of mind during our recent trip. she maintained regular communication, sending us adorable photos and updates that showed Siku having a fantastic time. This proactive approach to sharing information was incredibly reassuring. Joanne is also incredibly professional and reliable, She followed all our specific instructions regarding Siku’s diet and routine meticulously. Joanne’s attention to detail and commitment to Siku’s well-being were truly impressive, making this a stress-free experience for us. We will absolutely be booking her services again!

Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Linden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Linden on Rover is $61.05 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 14,143 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Linden. About 88% of Linden 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
