“I absolutely ADORE Cathy! She was the a savior when I needed a sitter for my 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in her very capable hands. I will not hesitate to have her take care of my "boys" in the future, and I highly recommend her!”
“Jocelyn has watched Tofu a few times now, and Tofu always comes home happy, clean, and healthy! Jocelyn is a great sitter, and I plan to book with her again! I highly recommend Jocelyn for anyone in need of a dog sitter :)”
“Rhinesca is simply the best! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my two fur babies Drew and Lola with her. They felt right at home and adjusted so well with the change. They got a lot of cuddles, outdoor time, and treats. Please don’t hesitate any further an book and future dog boarding with her.”
“Kun was so great to have during this trip! He sent us constant updates throughout the day in order to keep us posted about how our dog was doing and always was super understanding. Would definitely re-book.”
“Aeli has looked after our boy Charlie several times now and he always has the best time at her house. We get updates several times per day which we appreciate and he always looks so happy, whether he’s playing or relaxing with belly rubs!”
“This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.”
“Brittany was excellent! She cared for our dogs like they were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates — it really showed how attentive and caring she is. Her fenced yard made us feel especially comfortable about our dogs’ safety, and she made sure they got outside multiple times each day for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would definitely recommend her. Truly kind and caring!”
“Another amazing experience for Watson with Melissa! She provides so many updates and photos/videos of him. Watson is clearly so comfortable and taken care of while staying with Melissa and her family. He goes on so many walks and is truly with a family who loves animals. So grateful for the help!”
“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.”
“We are thrilled to recommend Monica & Kelvin, who enthusiastically welcomed our 14 year old cocker spaniel Baci to their home! With texts and photos during our vacation, Monica gave us the confidence that we made a great decision in leaving Baci in their care. She made the arrangements for her services easy for us, and she was accommodating in every way. We consider them the perfect dog sitters!”
“Sunny is the best caregiver. Attends to all details and takes notes for any quirks and preferences. I feel as close to my dog as when I am at home because she constantly gives updates with details and pictures/videos.”
“What an amazing experience from our meet and greet to our first booking with Lucy. Theo was made to feel at home with Lucy, her consistent updates of videos and pictures helped ease any anxiety one would have leaving a fur-baby for any duration of a stay. The flexibility and communication were Lucy’s super power. Thank you so much!!!”
“Pricilla was wonderful with my dog. I was very nervous since this was my first experience but turned out to be better than expected. Pricilla updated me with photos each day which was great assurance. I will definitely reach out to Pricilla in the future!”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“Kyungwon and Henry were absolutely wonderful sitters! They were so caring with my pup and paid close attention to every detail of his schedule. Since he’s still a puppy, they took extra care to keep up with his nap times and made sure he was comfortable around their other dogs. They also sent so many photos and videos throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Their communication and thoughtful care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them and would happily have our little one stay again!”
“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.”
“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.”

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Old Tappan on Rover is $63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,610 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Old Tappan. 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 Old Tappan 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 Old Tappan 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 Old Tappan 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 Old Tappan.
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 Old Tappan 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.
