“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Cathy is wonderful! Rockie has spent one nighters with Cathy but we left her for three days this time around. As always, Cathy was kind, responsive and sent us updates and pictures of Rockie. We finally feel like we can go on longer trips now that Rockie can stay with Cathy. Rockie is comfortable and well cared for there. ❤️❤️❤️”
“We left our dog for 3 days. We had constant updates from Aeli, pictures and how he was doing. We was absolutely 💯 perfect satisfied how this stay was handled. Definitely will use her again.”
“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.”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“Our family was traveling overseas for a week and for the first time ever, could not bring our beloved Emi (a Pekingese) with us. (We usually bring her on our vacations and stay in pet-friendly hotels.) This was my first time using Rover and I chose Hope based on her incredible reviews, (despite being farther away from where I live), and I am so glad to have found her! As many have mentioned, Hope stayed in contact and regularly shared pictures of our Emi getting lots of love from her whole family :) We were worried that Emi would just be in some corner of the home, like a kennel, but were so relieved and encouraged to see that she quickly became part of the family. I seriously think Emi was sad to leave them- which is a great thing! It means she had a blast and felt comfortable and loved. Thank you Hope for taking such great care of Emi and for alleviating our anxieties. We look forward to using you again and again! So thrilled to have found you.”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“Lauryn was amazing! She had cared for our dog Stella during our moving process. Needless to say Stella’s well-being was one less worry on our minds during the craziness of moving. We received photos during her stay and after picking her up we could sense Stella had a great time and was very comfortable with Lauryn. We will definitely keep Lauryn in mind shall we need a sitter again. Thank you 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!”
“Lucy took excellent care of our 1 year-old golden doodle! She requires lots of activity which she got at the park daily. Lucy provided great daily updates including videos of their adventures and snaps of her enjoying the day at home playing with toys or just watching people go by out the window. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Camila was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with photos and videos and took such great care of Winnie. Her dog Milo was also amazing—he and Winnie got along so well and played together perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again—couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Brody absolutely loved staying with Danae! Usually when I pick him up he’s excited to leave but in this case he was sad to leave his friends ❤️. If you are a crazy obsessed dog owner like me, I strongly recommend that you book with Danae- your pet will be in wonderful, caring hands!”
“Andrea and her family took great care of my dog ! Providing photo updates along the way I felt she was in good hands and she was happy when returned. Would definitely recommend!”
“I trust Irene and ken with my pup, Reggie, entirely. We have used them many times, weekly recently, and even go far out of our way to use them (they're about 40 minutes from our house but close to work). Their whole family treats Reggie great. We're so happy to have found them and I recommend them to many colleagues and friends.”
“Monica and Kelvin took amazing care of my two fur babies. I received daily photos, and it was clear they were in great hands. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a dog sitter.”
“First time we ever had to leave for a whole month and could not take Hattie with us. So happy to have found Nina and Augustine. Their little family took Hattie right in and gave her a home away from home. Hattie and Clementine just hit it off too. Constant photos and videos of Hattie that made us wonder if she might get bored when we took her back home. If you are looking for a relaxed family atmosphere for your dog with a built in playmate in a safe place look no further. Recommend very highly.”

Hope was an amazing dog sitter for my Shiba Inu. Her space is clean, dog friendly both inside the house and outside with a fenced backyard, plus she is very friendly and loving towards the animals. She checked in multiple times per day with pictures and progress reports on eating/activity/and using the bathroom when hosting my pet. Rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with Hope. Thank you.
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!
Sunny and her family did a wonderful job taking care of our three family dogs, Eli, Barklee & Zoey. She sent pictures everyday, and we felt very assured that they were being well taken care of. They were all very happy when we came to get them. Sunny is the personification of her name!!🌞

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Old Tappan on Rover is $62 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,613 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.
