“We had a wonderful experience with Eunice. She took such great care of our dog and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the stay. It was clear from the updates and photos that our dog was happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the kindness, attention, and genuine affection she showed. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Eunice again and highly recommend them her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“They took fantastic care of Winter while we were out of town for a couple of days! They understood she was a bit skittish and shy, and also accounted for her meds. They also were very accommodating when plans had changed a little bit. She came home happy, I would definitely use them again!”
“Nikki and her husband were great! They provided a wonderful stay for our pup and genuinely seem to have a love for dogs and wants each one to have the best stay possible!”
“Ronit is GREAT! Let me start with full appreciation of her taking on our last minute request. She’s been so responsive and understanding the whole time. Dawkins had a great time staying with her. She also provided very timely updates during our trip that was just the right frequency to comfort the owner but not disturbing our oversea trip. Cannot recommend her more!”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have had both dogs and cats for over 25 years. My husband, James, also grew up with dogs and has been around them his whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of both of our lives! I’m the primary sitter and handle all bookings, but James occasionally joins me for walks and visits, which can be especially helpful for households with multiple dogs. We’ve both been around pets with all different personalities, sizes, and routines, and we currently have two cats of our own. One is on a prescription diet, so I’m very comfortable following specific feeding instructions and routines. We know how important it is to feel comfortable with who’s caring for your pets, and we always want them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, aside from occasional in-office days and work travel, which gives me flexibility for morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend visits. I keep my availability up to date and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and be in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a recap after each visit so you know how everything went.
“We took Jonathan and Rebecca's help with our Yorkie Dexter for 3 days. They took very good care of him and constantly kept us updated of his well being and what's he been doing during his stay by sharing text messages and pictures. Highly recommend to avail their services. Thank you both Jonathan and Rebecca!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Natalia and her husband! They were truly exceptional sitters for our dog, Sai. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. Natalia sent us daily updates, complete with photos, showing us all the fun activities Sai was enjoying—from walks to outings at the dog park. It was clear Sai was having the time of his life! When Sai experienced a minor GI upset, they handled it with such care and professionalism, following our instructions perfectly. They showed genuine compassion and concern, which meant the world to us. It's rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Natalia and her husband did just that. When we picked Sai up, it was obvious he had bonded with Natalia and saw her as part of his family. He was looking at her like he was going to miss his new friend, which truly warmed our hearts. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters and highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and attentive environment for their pets. Thank you both for going above and beyond for Sai!”
“Tanvi and her family are amazing – very kind, took great care of my dog, and sent lots of photos every day. I highly recommend her and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“Connor was great with Ruby! We were welcomed and she felt right at home with him. He sent several updates and she was cared for. Would definitely use Connor again. Ruby cannot wait to go back!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Nyx so soon after bringing her home from the breeder but Karina and her family were able to ease our concerns. I was able to take Nyx to their home a few days before our trip to make the initial introduction. I left that meeting knowing that they would take great care of my baby. They were more than accommodating with my travel schedule. They also sent daily updates and pictures. Nyx loved her stay and I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about my puppy baby.”
“From the initial conversation on Rover to dropping of my beloved Frazier (cat) with Jacqueline she guided me on how boarding a cat would work, her strategy to let Frazier warm up and socialize on his terms and the love she’d provide. Jacqueline sent me daily pictures and videos to put my mind at ease and sent many text messages to reassure me that Frazier was comfortable and in good spirits. He looked so happy in the pictures and right at home. Her home is very conducive to comfortably leaving your dog or cat !”
“Dilan was the best dog sitter I have ever hired. My dog was well taken care of. She exercised her twice a day and sent me videos and pictures while I was away. My dog appeared to be very happy…which made me very happy. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care Dilan provided for my baby! Thank you!”
“Cherish did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She send many texts, pictures and videos so we always knew how he was doing. The dogs had a nice place to play in the backyard and nice place to relax inside. Out of the many dog boarding experiences we had on Rover, Cherish's was by far the best. We will definitely book with Cherish again when we travel or go somewhere and need our dog to be taken care of.”
“Stephanie was awesome!! I will definitely be using her again in the future. She was very caring and sent pictures and updates everyday. I highly recommend her!!”

Anny was amazing with Jack! Great communication, lots of pictures and videos, and very accommodating. She gave him his medication and even cooked him rice when he had an upset stomach. She truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!
Isbath and her family are so so so incredible. She's warm, welcoming, professional, and inquisitive. She checked in with multiple times a day and provided photos, which helped me feel even more at ease. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her as my go to sitter. I could tell my girl Sailor loved her visit, before putting her in the car she stopped and had the urge to run to their front steps and back inside to play. Couldn't recommend more.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Amarilis was kind, responsible, and attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Tyson was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Tyson. I would definitely recommend Amarilis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Max stayed with Ji over the weekend of August 14 and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated throughout our time out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. Ji was also very attentive to Max’s stomach issues and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him!
Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
NASA Lived with Cristian for a week. Everything went well. She's seemed comfortable around him when I went to pick her up. Two minor concerns were inadequate photos, videos and terse updates or sometimes no updates daily. Also found matting of hair locks on her ears.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in North Plainfield is $58 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $77 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 13,505 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in North Plainfield. About 87% of North Plainfield 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.
