“Mike was absolutely wonderful\! He picked up Judge right on time and delivered him safely and on schedule\. He was incredibly caring and attentive, taking Judge for walks and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire trip\. Judge is a big boy—about five times the size of most dogs—and he slobbers quite a bit\! Despite that, Mike made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved\. I truly appreciate the exceptional care Mike gave Judge\. I highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable\. Thank you, Mike\!”
“Jesus was easy to communicate with from the start. He was open to a meet-and- greet before committing to our first stay, which was greatly appreciated. He took the time to get to know JJ and sent photos so we could see JJ during his stay. JJ appears to have enjoyed his time with Jesus and his family. Jesus aims to make sure the pups in his care are taken care of and happy.”
“I couldn’t be happier with how Priscilla looked after my dog Piper! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Piper left her very happy! We have already booked Priscilla for our next trip. 5 stars!”
“We are very happy to ask Maureen for our Chamonix. Maureen was waiting for us in front of her house to do a first meeting before sitting. She’s very reliable and responsible. She kindly updated how Chamonix’s doing through her stay. We will definitely return to her if we needs someone next time.”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”

Irene sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day, and Birdie had a great time playing with their dogs and children! We would absolutely recommend Ken & Irene and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Elizabeth & Oleg were great! I was preoccupied with moving during Milo's stay, so I was glad that he was in great hands and I didn't have to check on him. I got tons of pictures of Milo. He was able to play in their big fenced in yard, play with the kids and even made friends with their hamster. it's nice to know I have an awesome sitter for my German Shepherd Dog. Milo enjoyed his stay. I would recommend Elizabeth and Oleg to anyone looking for nice family and home with fenced in yard. BTW BONUS house is right next to Glen Rock park/ Saddle River park”
“I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie! Leaving Nova with someone new while I was away was a little nerve-racking, but Stephanie made the entire experience so much easier. Her communication was outstanding — I received multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. What I appreciated most was how genuinely caring Stephanie was. It never felt like Nova was just another dog she was watching. She treated her like one of her own, and as someone who considers his dog family, that meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Nova because I knew she was being loved and well taken care of. I’m incredibly grateful to Stephanie and would absolutely trust her with Nova again. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
We were very nervous about leaving our 3 year old mini-Golden, Cane, for the first time ever for such an extended period of time, however, Matt and Christianna made us feel very comfortable when we met them. While on vacation we received numerous photos and for a while we wondered if Cane would want to come home. It was obvious that he was having a great time and was being treated like he was a member of their family. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to be loved and cared for while you are away.
Lee was absolutely wonderful with Abby! She was so attentive, caring, and responsive throughout her stay. I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent me every day—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Abby was happy and well cared for. Lee made sure Abby ate well, got plenty of walks, and received lots of love and attention. It was also such a great plus that Abby got along so well with her two Goldendoodles. Seeing how happy and comfortable Abby was with them made me feel so reassured. I’m truly so happy with the care Abby received. Lee is kind, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you so much, Lee, for taking such great care of my girl! ❤️🐾
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with her again! :)
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 of Dog Boarding in Norwood is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $80 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 13,643 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norwood. 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.
94% of sitters in Norwood 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 Norwood 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 Norwood.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Norwood 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.
