“Joes is a very good care taker for puppies. We appreciate so much he was able to take care our dog for the week while we are not available. Our dog did get along with his own puppies and his family members. We were able to see pictures of our puppy every day, and Joes had scheduled time for the puppy to spend time outside in his private backyard. I would recommend anyone who needs dog boarding services.”

“Couldn’t be happier with the care Bean received while we were away! Bean is a senior dog who requires daily medications and a little extra attention, and Lisa took care of her with so much compassion and professionalism. She kept me updated every day, which gave me total peace of mind while we were on vacation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter!”

“This was the first time I was apart from my dog for more than two days and the first day that I left the dog with a non relative. It was great to have someone as responsive and responsible as Vincent taking care of my dog. It is clear that Vincent loves dogs and does a great job taking care of them. When I picked my dog up it was clear he had a good week, was healthy, well fed and very happy.”

About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. Pet care is my full time job and I thoroughly enjoy it. After years of training athletes, I left my career and opted for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and most weekends. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs since I was 14, so I have years of hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve had a Pug, a Pomeranian, and I currently have a Golden Retriever, which has given me experience with everything from smaller companion breeds to larger, more active dogs. I understand that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, basic routines, or just giving them plenty of attention and companionship, I treat every dog like I would my own. I work full-time but I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention without pets being left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible on both weekdays and weekends, so I can easily make pet care part of my daily routine and adjust around each pet’s specific needs and schedule. I treat every pet as I would my own, with plenty of care, attention, and patience. I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship so they feel at home while their owner is away.

“I was beyond apprehensive leaving my dog with anyone. I am a very protective mom. I truly feel lucky finding Christian on rover.com. He is amazing with my pit bull, Nico. Unfortunately, pit bull get a bad rap and I had some difficulty trying to find a sitter. We use his service twice and the second time around, my dog Nico went into his house wagging his tail like he lived there. This gave me a sense of relief because it confirmed that Nico was comfortable. Christian made sure to update us on a daily basis with text messages, pictures and videos. He even went the extra step and bathe my dog.”

Our 10 year old Springer Spaniel had a wonderful week at Letitia's house. We had to make a last-minute boarding request and Letitia was super accommodating and communicative the whole way through. From booking to boarding to pickup, Letitia was a joy to work with every step of the way. Letitia's numerous photo and video updates made it clear that Marty was treated spectacularly for the entirety of his stay. He was in such a jolly mood after his visit! We are thrilled to have found such a quality pet sitter and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended! Thank you Letitia!

Krystsina was great. This was my first time using Rover and I booked last minute but she very reliable! She made me and my dog extremely comfortable. She made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the stay and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog sometimes gets anxious around new faces but she made sure to give him treats, take him outside, and play with him to make sure he felt comfortable with her and her daughter. He looked like he was having a great time. I will definitely book with her in the future!

Suna’s warmth and attentiveness really showed, and it was obvious that Nugget had a fantastic stay. We’d absolutely have Suna help us with Nugget again in a heartbeat.

Jaimie took beautiful care of my gentle giant, Ollie. Ollie is 100 pounds of love and fluff and I was very anxious about leaving him because he is so attached to me. Jaimie made me feel at ease at our meet and greet and we got to meet her pup and cat. With a big fenced in backyard, lots of dog toys, and a comfy couch for lounging, Jaimie made me feel right at home. We told her that Ollie might be too nervous to eat, and she sent pictures and updates constantly. Ollie was eating in no time and Ollie came home happy and well fed. Ollie loves humans snd she sent pictures of her and the dog watching tv together at night and of Ollie with her daughter. I am happy to recommend her and will be using her again!

Shannon was AMAZING with our pup! She sent us pics and funny updates throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing that he was being taken cared of. She took him on tons of walks and to the fenced in dog park. She also let him make himself comfy on her couch and bed so he was cozy. I would definitely recommend Shannon and will definitely book with her again if she is available.

Marsha was phenomenal. The first night my epileptic dog was there he had a seizure through no fault of hers. She was calm, communicative and compassionate. She handled it so well and with such responsibility and concern. Luckily for all, .the rest of my dogs’ stay was much less eventful! Despite it all, she fell in love with my dogs—it was obvious—and they seemed to adore her. She is a gem and I would highly recommend her if you want a responsible and loving sitter who is battle tested.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - New Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in New Brunswick is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 8,104 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Brunswick. About 87% of New Brunswick 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.
