“Kathleen was great with Atreus for our first booking. She sent lots of pictures and was coummicative during his stay. I look forward to booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Lisa took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”
“Michael has been an awesome choice for boarding my Peps. You can tell he's a dog dude from his demeanor right from the start. He has been flexible and always sends pictures. I'll continue to book with him as I know my puppers is in good care. Thank you Mr Michael!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. I recently lost my own dog and I am newly retired. I have plenty of time and plenty of love to give. I really miss my own pet so I would love to take care of yours as if they are my own. we can be as active as necessary I am retired and entirely devoted to your pet. I love an active lifestyle and if they do too they will accompany me if okay the two of us will spend mostly all our time together in one way or another actively or just hanging out. I will enjoy your pet as if they were my own
“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!”
“Outstanding!!, Patricia and her husband were very kind and welcoming to our fur baby, she sent updates with pictures and that was much appreciated. We will definitely use them again”
“Blanca and her family were absolutely amazing! They treated my dog as their own and even helped her deal with some separation anxiety. She came home happy, healthy, and better behaved than when she left! We also received tons of photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country. I cannot say enough good things!!”
“Our pup had a great time with Andrea. She was flexible and has great communication. Definitely would recommend Andrea, and would love to have our dog stay with her in the future.”
“Barb is the perfect sitter. She makes both owner and pet feel completely comfortable with the separation. She takes everything into consideration including separation anxiety, health and age needs, and comfort. Her pups are amazing friends for your pet to spend time with. Highly recommend!!!”
“Michelle kept me constantly updated throughout the day/night without me even asking. Sampson is an old dog and will often not eat in a new environment. He ate both meals and came home in a great mood! I will absolutely be taking him back there!!!”
“Pam and Jay did such an awesome job with our 17 yr. old dog. They were loving and patience with her. I will use them again if needed and would highly recommend them.”
“Wish there were more stars to give Shannon! Everything was amazing and i was always kept up to date with what Captain was doing for the day. Captain loved his entire stay and i couldn't be happier with the professional and personable experience. Going to confidently recommend Shannon to any friends or family who need pet services!”
“What an amazing experience!! Charlie had an absolutely amazing time, as we could clearly see from all of the videos and pictures Kirk sent us throughout his stay! We actually were a little worried Charlie might not want to come home with us again lol!! Anita and Kirk, along with their family were so gracious to open their home to our pup for the holidays, and we are very grateful for the amount of love they showed him. I'm sure there are other great places out there, but I strongly recommend Kirk and his Furry Farm, as I will never use anyone else!”
“Rebecca M, was simply the best person for my dog. She was knowledgeable and caring. She gave me good information regarding my dogs microchip and I acted on it the very next day. Now her chip is activated and I don't ever have to worry about her getting lost. I plan to use her again next week for my next trip. If you want a sitter for your dog, you can't get any better than Rebecca!”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Linwood is $60

Kathleen took phenomenal care of Atreus while I was away on a 15-day work trip. Leaving a pet for over two weeks can be stressful, but Kathleen made the entire experience worry-free. She consistently sent detailed updates, great photos, and fun videos that showed just how happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for Atreus was the entire time. Her communication was top-notch, reliable, and thoughtful from start to finish. I returned home to a happy, healthy pup, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would recommend Kathleen in a heartbeat to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive, and I’ll definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Victoria was great with Bella! She was so sweet, patient, and caring, even though I have a feeling Bella may have decided to show her “extra” personality while I was gone 😂. Victoria handled her like a pro and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy Bella, so I’d say it was a success! I’d definitely trust Victoria with her again. ❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Linwood is $22 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $83 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 168 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 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.
96% of sitters in Linwood 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 Linwood 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 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 , 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.
