“Sunny was a wonderful dog sitter! She was friendly and attentive. She made our family feel comfortable leaving our 15 year old dog when we were away on vacation. She communicated daily sending updates and pictures. We can tell Caesar had a great time. Thank you Sunny for taking such good care of our dog. We will definitely use Sunny again in the future!”
“Amazing host! They offered a meet and greet before boarding. During boarding, they shared many photos and updates such as what they’ve played and their appetite. I felt very comfortable having them watch over my dog.”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“Jocelyn took good care of my dog. She put on a coat to keep him warm, took him out to play, even on snowy cold days. She sent many pics and videos. Very happy with her care. Will use her again.”
“Ann was very nice and kind. Make my little dog feel welcomed within minutes. I like the fact that the property is fully fenced. Also, it was nice of her to send me pictures of my dog and provided quit reply to any questions. I would definitely use her service again!”
“Cialing was amazing! She took such great care of Rocky during his two- night stay. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and reassured that he was in good hands. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much to us. It was obvious that Rocky was getting lots of love, attention, and excellent care. Seeing how happy and relaxed he looked in every update gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked him up, Rocky was excited to see us, but it was also clear that he had been happy and comfortable with Cialing. That says everything! We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again. Thank you, Cialing, for treating Rocky like one of your own. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and caring dog sitter!”
“Nina and Augustine were amazing sitters for our dog and we highly recommend! Very responsive while we were away and on drop off / pick up. They have a great home and environment for dogs and we will definitely rebook with them again soon!”
“Danae was great with our two beagles. From the pictures and videos we received we saw that the boys had a lot of fun. We would definitely recommend Danae for your four legged friends.”
“Our dog Wally loves to stay with Cathy. She sends pictures of him every day enjoying himself. We always check to see if she is available when we are going away. Would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dog sitter!”
“We have had Aeli care for our Lola multiple times when we had to go out of town. Each experience was amazing. Great communication and periodic photos along with a very happy and fun experience for Lola. Will definitely use again.”
“Priscilla was an exceptional dog sitter for our pup, Cairo. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was in capable and caring hands. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, ensuring he was comfortable and well taken care of. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular communication, sending photos and updates, which really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was doing well. Her home was clean, safe, and welcoming, providing Cairo with a comfortable environment to settle into. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be trusting Priscilla with Cairo again in the future!”
“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”
“Lauryn is amazing. I had an emergency out of town and had to book her last minute. Not only was she welcoming to my two pooches, she treated them like her own. I wasn't sure of my return date and had to keep extended her services. She was understanding and gracious, also putting other fears at ease with staying well communicated and sending me updates with pics of my dogs. She truly understands they are like family. I highly recommend her!”
“Thanks for another great stay for Teddy! He feels so welcome and loved in your home, it has become his second home! He truly loves being with your family and we love being able to travel knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“Maureen was very attentive to Harley, sending updates and photos daily. Harley is a sensitive dog and didn't want to eat at first, but after Maureen's tender loving care, eventually started eating. Harley seems even more cuddlier than before the stay, which tells me she built some good human animal bond habits. Thanks Maureen!”
“Wendy and her family took great care of my dog for two weeks while I was overseas. Wendy provided fantastic updates during the two weeks (with pictures), therefore, I felt tremendous comfort in boarding my dog with her. Wendy went beyond all expectations and I would recommend her to anyone looking to have a caring family who will look after their dog.”
“Melissa did a great job with my puppy Callie! She made it a very easy and simple process with dropping her off and picking her up. I felt very comfortable with leaving her knowing she was going to receive such great care! Melissa sent plenty of updates which I loved and made me feel even more comfortable knowing Callie was doing great! We will definitely be back!”
“We were worried that our Laima would have a hard time with separation anxiety, (first time away from us in the 2 yrs since we rescued her) but Rene and her pups made her feel right at home. The pictures she posted spoke volume on how well Laima enjoyed her stay! We hope to use Rene again soon!”

Sunny was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and always has such a positive attitude. Communication was excellent from start to finish—she responded quickly to every message and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also very thoughtful and accommodating when my plans changed, and I truly appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Everything went smoothly, and I had zero issues throughout the entire booking. I could tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Sunny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our dog had such a wonderful stay! We received lots of photo updates throughout the visit, which gave us so much peace of mind. In every picture, our dog looked so happy and had the biggest smile. It was clear that they were well cared for and having a great time. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Matthew and Christianna are WONDERFUL sitters. They are a caring, kind and empathetic couple who truly love pets. Matthew and Christianna treated our 2 1/2 year old malshi, Chloe, as their own. During our vacation, we received many pics of Chloe relaxed and happy in their home. They made sure that Chloe ate properly, had enough exercise and was entertained by their two little ones who were very kind to her. We HIGHLY recommend Matthew and Christianna as sitters. We will definitely ask them to care for Chloe when we are away and will feel relaxed and appreciative in the knowledge that she is loved and cared for!
Lee K was great with my dog Bodi. Knowing that she was familiar with looking after senior dogs and giving medication made me feel comfortable using her pet sitting services. She took great care of Bodi, helping him as needed & provided me with many photos & videos so that I could see how he was doing while he was staying at her home. Upon picking him up I could tell he had a relaxing stay and was comfortable within her home and around her other dogs. We are looking forward to using Lee K again in the future!
My dog spent 21 days in Yuchen’s house, and he was very happy with Yuchen’s family and her dog. Yuchen sent me pictures and videos everyday: my dog running in her large backyard, sleeping on the comfortable couch…. Yuchen is kind and responsible, highly recommended!
Joanne goes above and beyond for boarding! We did a meet and greet beforehand, she helped communicate what to expect when leaving our pup for the first time and communicated a lot while we were gone which helped calm our nerves. Marshall was in great hands and couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave him with. We would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northvale on Rover is $66.6 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 13,623 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northvale. 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.
95% of Northvale 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 Northvale 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 Northvale 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 Northvale.
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 Northvale 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.
