“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”
“The timing of our rescue arriving & out pre-purchased/non-refundable/pet-free vacation couldn’t have been worse: we only had one week with our sweet London before we had to leave her. As such, we spent a LOT of time reading reviews for a sitter who would provide a lot of attention, affection, and consistency. We truly couldn’t have picked a better person than Denise. We explained the pickle we found ourselves in and Denise immediately understood & put our minds at ease. From the first meeting, we could tell Denise loved dogs. She has a great backyard full of toys that our pup adored, and above all, Denise’s kind and gentle demeanor made London right at home. The frequent updates and photos made us certain we made the right choice. They certainly bonded over their week together & we will be sure to use Denise in the future! We recommend Denise 100%.”
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”
“Ashlee made the whole process super easy and comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures almost every day and I know our Charlie had a great “vacation” from us :-) Will definitely use her again soon!”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Kateri is my go-to! She goes above and beyond every single stay. Kateri’s dog, Mazey plays so well with my 9.5 month pup. I love that Kateri gives me updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. She also sent home a report card with a full summary of the visit (it’s still hanging on my fridge! 🥹) Kateri really does think of everything when it comes to your dogs- and has always given me peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of. She’s knowledgeable, super easy to work with, and as kind as can be!”
“My Moyen Poodle, Ranger, was well cared for by Jason. With Addison's Disease, Adrenal Insufficiency, he needed regular meds. Recently our Vet said he should gain a few pounds. Both were well attended to and he returned energetic and healthy. Jason did what he needed to do to help Ranger adapt to the new environment. I would highly recommend using Jason for your pet care.”
“Lisa was very responsive and sent pictures everyday so I could see Georgia. She also plays fun treat games with them which I know the dogs love. Overall I would recommend Lisa for your pet she is reliable, extremely responsive and easy to work with overall.”
“Marci was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I really appreciated the way that she communicated with me and also how much she cared for my dog. I would 100% use her again.”
“Once again Diana has helped sooo much in our quest for dogsitting services as we complete our multi-move until our hone is ready. Harley cones back revived, rejuvenated and as of today actually now knows the “drop it” command thanks to Diana. I had never had a sitter with their own dog but i can say i will actuakly look for it in the future because i now see the benefit. I would not hesitate to leave my pet in her hands as she is friendly, flexible and extremely pet knowledgeable! Who can ask for more. I also love her pet pics! I just hope we settle close enough to be able to have her sit more often.”
“We needed a last-minute sitter, and Michael could not have been more accommodating or communicative! He also made sure Phoebe was comfortable with the other dogs (she’s friendly but on the smaller size) and had everything she needed for a quick stay.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin! This was the first time Apollo had ever stayed with someone he didn’t know, so I was understandably nervous about leaving him. From the moment I met Robin, she was kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, and she went above and beyond to make sure Apollo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Robin gave him extra walks, plenty of attention, and lots of playtime, which meant so much to me. She also provided ongoing updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to see that Apollo was doing so well and enjoying himself. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating with my schedule, even allowing me to arrive later than we had originally discussed. Her kindness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile truly made this experience stress-free. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Apollo was in excellent hands, and I would absolutely trust Robin with him again!”
“Best and most caring family!!! They took such good care of Beau. They sent so many pics and videos! I don’t think he wanted to leave! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation!”
“Tyler was an amazing post. His availability was remarkable. We contacted him on the same day, actually within an hour of needing dog sitting, and he accepted our inquiry. His dogs are loves and our pups enjoyed the exceptional family atmosphere. I highly recommend Tyler’s care. He treated our dogs just like they were at home.”
“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”
“This is the first time we leave our little dog Lila with a dog sitter. We left her for a day and it was a fun day for her. Jada was amazing. She spoiled her and kept us updated with pictures and texts all day long. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so much Jada.”
“Patricia was awesome! She kept me updated on my Chloe throughout the day. Chloe seemed happy and well entertained with Patricia. Thank you for taking such good care of Chloe for the weekend 💕”

Victoria boarded our dog while we were staying in Ocean City, New Jersey. Her place was about 15 minutes away from our condo and it was so easy to drop off on our way. She was incredibly flexible with drop off and pick up timing, was a wonderful communicator and our dog was obviously well cared for. We would definitely use Victoria again
I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.
Jason and Lauren are very nice! They didn't have any trouble with following Taka's routine and feeding schedule. Their space is great; clean and comfortable and a big backyard! They even took Taka on a hike on of the days. We didn't have to worry at all. We look forward to future sittings!
Ashlee is the BEST!!!! We have always only used family for pet care in the past as we were too nervous to trust anyone else with our two babies but now am SOOO grateful to have found Ashlee! She went above and beyond in her care for our dogs! In all the pictures and videos I could tell our dogs had the time of their lives with her and Minnie (their new best friend and the friendliest most welcoming pup I have ever met!). I know our dogs will be so excited to reunite with them ASAP! Thank you Ashlee and Minnie!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Linwood on Rover is $21.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Linwood. 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.
93% of Linwood 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 Linwood 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 Linwood 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 Linwood.
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 Linwood 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.
