“Jestine was incredible with Kala! I could tell that Kala was happy and content with her. Jestine was also very accommodating of my schedule and worked with any last minute changes that occurred with a professional and positive attitude. I highly recommend her for any long term dog-sitting!”
About: Lifelong animal lover, experienced pet caregiver, and proud member of a four-dog household! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds — from hamsters, bunnies, cats, fish, and birds to countless dogs (and even a seahorse!). Today, I share my home with four lovable pups — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — so, needless to say, I’m no stranger to big personalities, lots of energy, or a little extra fur & slobber! 🐶 Beyond caring for my own pets, I have plenty of experience looking after others’ furry friends and volunteering with animal shelters, rescues, and adoption events. ❤️ I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means long walks, games of fetch, learning new tricks, feeding and grooming, or simply some quality cuddle time. 🐾 Above all, I want every pet to feel happy, safe, and loved! Whether your four-legged friend needs an energetic playmate, a reliable caregiver, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like family. 💕 Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life, especially with four dogs of my own! 🐶 Since I currently work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week, including weekends and evenings. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work around your pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or extended stays. My schedule is very accommodating, so don’t hesitate to reach out! My home is a very pet-friendly, loving environment! 🐾 I have four dogs of our own — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — who are incredibly friendly, well-socialized, and love welcoming new furry friends! I’m accustomed to having visiting dogs, including fosters, and our pups have always gotten along wonderfully with them. I also have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door for easy outdoor access, along with plenty of space for playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crating if needed. With four dogs at home, I’m certainly no stranger to fur, slobber, muddy paws, or big personalities! 🐶 I also have hands-on experience with basic pet first aid and administering medications. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being, and will always treat them like family. ❤️
“Bailee took a really, really good care of our older lady dachshund. Bailee kept our agreement on care, she was attentive. Our doggie was not stressed when I picked her up. It is so nice that Bailee boards only one dog at a time. Also, she responds promptly to messages. We truly appreciate Bailee's dog-loving heart. THANK YOU, BAILEE!”
“Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“Dear Rover friends, we just had our dog Zak with Jessica and he had a great time in the yard playing with other dogs. She did a great job communicating and updating us with everything. Zak was very happy and looking forward for another stay with Jessica.”

“Carolina will be the only sitter for my dog from now on. She and her family truly cared for my dog during my family's vacation and i can't thank her enough! They are true dog lover! Thank you, Carolina for your care and service for my dog!!!”
“Val is a fantastic reliable dog sitter and took great care of our French bulldog over a long weekend. He was well cared for and she sent us multiple updates throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend anyone else to use her and we are looking forward to booking her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Lorenzo! I'm a dog lover based in Kearny, NJ, offering boarding in my home, plus drop-in visits and dog walking in the neighborhood. Your dog will be treated like family while they are with me, with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can see how they are doing. I am available 7 days a week and would love to meet your pup! Pet care fits easily into my routine. I am home throughout the day most days and keep a flexible schedule, so boarding dogs get morning, midday, and evening walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, and company in the evening before settling in for the night. I keep a calm, clean home and treat every dog like family. I follow each owner's feeding instructions exactly, keep dogs on a leash outdoors, keep fresh water down at all times, and send regular photo updates so owners always know how their dog is doing.
“Cherie and her family were great hosts for our canine family member Gigi . Gigi received great care and had lots of fun with the family puppy and young son - whom Gigi now regards as one of her very best human friends (he knows how to really throw a ball).”
“We had a wonderful experience! Akshay was amazing and kept us updated with lovely messages, photos, and videos throughout our dog’s stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we would definitely book again! 🐾❤️”
“Natasha was arguably the best booking I’ve ever had on Rover. She was very responsive, gave me timely updates, and my pup looked happy in every photo I received. It was a last minute Labor Day weekend booking and she saved the day! I’d book again, thanks Natasha.”
“We went on our vacation. Our dog Toby went on his vacation with Karina and her family. We can tell from the pictures she had sent us that we was having a great time. We will definitely be booking Toby's next stay with her.”
“I don't think we could have asked for a more positive first time Rover experience. We usually had family or close friends dog sit for us, but this year for the first time we did not have someone who could watch Frida while we were traveling between Christmas and New Year. So I decided to give Rover a try and I scheduled boarding with Jenn ~3 weeks in advance. I was a bit nervous, but Jenn was great, responsible and reassuring while we finalized plans. During the stay, Jenn provided updates and sent us pictures every other day. So, we enjoyed our trip and didn’t have to worry at all about Frida . Jenn was fantastic and we will definitely book with her again. It is understandable that one is nervous leaving their family member in care of someone new, but rest assured that your pet will be in loving and caring hands with Jenn.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for nearly 15 years. Since very young I’ve always had love for dogs. I have a 15 year old dog that’s partially blind and deaf that I take extra care of. I’m also a full time nanny for a 1 year old girl and I watch their family senior dog. I make sure he goes out for walks, change his diaper, clean up any accidents and of course give him treats and cuddles. 🥰 I’m currently a full time nanny who works 8-5 or 5:40. I do check-ins throughout the day during my full time job and my spouse gets home earlier so they’ll be able to help out until i get home. After work I’ll be available to care for your pet in the evenings and have them stay overnight. I’m also available on Tuesday after 12 pm. On the weekends I can commit to a full day as needed. I make sure they have their meals on time, take them out for walks. If they’re senior dogs I’ll change diapers, clean up any accidents and make sure they’re comfortable. Any medication I’ll make sure they take them too!

Isabella was amazing from the moment we met until I picked up my pup 🐶 ❤️. She was very sweet and asked all the right questions to ensure Sky was comfortable and happy during his stay. She also sent lots of pictures! I felt so at ease knowing that he was in great hands. The yard is beautiful 😍 so many places to run and discover. Will definitely be booking with Isabella in the future, thank you!
Our dog, Coach, had a dream stay with Kristen over Christmas. He was treated like royalty. She handled his food and meds like the pro she is, but also carved out a path for him so he wouldn’t have to walk on the snow. She sent several videos a day, he looked SO happy. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to board him at Kristen’s house. He looked like he didn’t want to leave!!
Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Livingston is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $89 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.
There are 14,183 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Livingston. About 88% of Livingston 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
