âChristina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!â

âWe are SO happy that Desi & Mimi could watch our beloved family Lab over the holiday! We know that our dog is in great hands because she is so excited to go for her stay with a wagging tail and wiggly embrace for Desi. We are so grateful for the update via photos and video too! Just a wonderful experience that we highly recommend! Thank you both!!â

âMarcy was amazing. She kept us updated consistently. She was super nice and patience. This was our first time using a non family sitter and she was great. Our dogs can be super anxious and she got them comfortable and happy in no time. Thank you so much, Marcy!â

âKody had the best time. The family was absolutely amazing with Kody. He had the best time and made lots of new friends and was well taken care of. Received tons of pictures and videos of Kody's new adventures. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again with this family.â

âKeisy was amazing. She took very good care of my dog (Cocoa), she asked all sorts of relevant questions beforehand so that she can meet all the needs of my Cocoa. It feels like I found a perfect place because she has 2 adorable dogs and itâs like having a play date for my Cocoa. She also sent pictures and videos that brought smile on my face even while being away from him. Oh!! I have to mention, Keisy has such a beautiful place, it is very nice, clean and organized, I was super impressed :)â

âLiz was amazing. Our basset Friday was happy and well taken care of in their home. Liz sent pictures and an update. I will definitely call her again to watch Friday.â

âMarisol is amazing! They treated our pups like family, have a very high end and clean set up, and were excellent with communication. Weâre already booked for our next trip!â

âAlarie 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. Weâre 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!â

âCosmo had a wonderful time with Sriram and his family. We got regular updates including photos. They were very flexible to accommodate all our requests to keep him and us at ease. We will certainly send Cosmo back to them whenever we need boarding for him. Highly recommend them.â

âKatherine was wonderful with Tina! She gave her so much love and excellent care, kept us updated, and sent daily photos. It was such a comfort knowing Tina was happy and in good hands. We would definitely book with Katherine again!â

âWe 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! Weâre so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! â¤ď¸â

âZuleyka was amazing with my Six! She checked in with me everyday and sent videos/photos. I could genuinely tell she enjoyed caring for her, Six looked happy in every photo! Thank you again!â


âShe took such great care of my boy! â¤ď¸ From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax knowing he was in good hands. đžđ Itâs clear she genuinely loves what she does and treated him like one of her own. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. Iâm so grateful and would absolutely trust her with him again. We definitely found our dogâs new bestie! đśđâ

âFirst time using Kia. Harley had lots of playmates and came home a happy camper. During his stay with Kia she sent daily pictures and comments. We recommend her and would use her again.â


âSarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!â

âWe were out of state for a week, and Gargi and Sourav went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Zeytin. They made sure she had a blast by taking her to the pond for swimming, which she absolutely loves, and spent time playing with her using sticksâher favorite activity. They kept us updated with little notes about how she was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. Zeytin came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. Weâre so thankful for their kindness and fantastic care!â


âWe had our 4 year old very active Lab stay with Peiyi for the weekend . Like any Dog parent I was extremely hesitant as it was our first time leaving her with them. Peiyi and her Husband both took great care of Coco and we had a happy puppy at pick up :)â

About: Iâve been a proud dog dad to my lovely Lola for the past four years! Caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, love, and providing a safe, comfortable environment for dogs. Lola is incredibly friendly, calm, and loves meeting new people and furry friends. I genuinely love dogs and would treat every pup in my care like family, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to provide a loving home away from home where your dog feels happy, safe, and welcome. Iâll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands! đžâ¤ď¸ Iâm home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine! I already spend plenty of time with my dog, Lola, taking her outside around 6â8 times a day for backyard playtime, fresh air, and walks. Since Iâm home so often, I can provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves playing outdoors, going on walks, or simply relaxing indoors, Iâll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Your dogâs safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I have a private, enclosed backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and supervised playtime in a secure environment. I regularly check and maintain my backyard to keep it clean, safe, and free of anything that could potentially harm a dog. Iâm also mindful of wildlife and take precautions to keep unwanted animals away from the play area. Inside my home, I provide a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can relax and feel like part of the family. My dog, Lola, is very gentle and friendly, and I always make sure introductions with new furry friends are gradual and supervised. I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give Lola. Iâll also respect each petâs individual needs, feeding schedules, and routines while keeping their owners updated with photos and messages. đśâ¤ď¸

We couldnât have asked for a better experience! Leaving our two dogs, Kobe and Bucky, in someone elseâs care is never easy, but we felt completely comfortable and confident knowing they were in great hands. The communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for our dogs made all the difference. It was such a relief knowing Kobe and Bucky were being treated like family while we were away. Having that peace of mind allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. Itâs not easy finding someone you can trust with your pets, but weâre so grateful to have found Funda who genuinely cares about their well-being. We would absolutely book again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Kobe and Bucky!

I am so thrilled with the care that Ankita and her family gave to our dog! She really cares about her clients and gives them personalized care. She sent us photos updates a few times a day, even video updates showing our dog having a great time. Before our boarding session, we had a meet-and-greet so she could get to know us and our dog, and discuss how things would go; this was fantastic and made me feel very confident leaving my dog in her care. I will book again with Ankita without hesitation and I recommend her very highly! 5 stars!
Enis was fantastic with Koda during his first-ever boarding stay (about 22 days). He arranged a pre-stay visit so Koda could get comfortable, sent us photos throughout, and Koda clearly had a great time with the other dogs. He came home happy and full of energy. Highly recommended!

Hands down the best person weâve ever dealt with! She is so sweet and attentive. Has taken such good care of our Teddy and has updated us along the way with so many pictures. Canât recommend her enough. This is the only person we will ever deal with going forward.

Our pup, Allora, had the best time with Desi and Mimi! We needed sitters last minute for almost 10 days and feel so lucky that we were able to find them. They made sure she fit in with all the dogs in their pack and remembered all of the little details related to her diet and preferences. Will definitely bring Allora back soon!

I absolutely loved the service! They took such great care of Bella, and I always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her with them. I really appreciated the constant updates and the photos they sent me, which gave me so much peace of mind. The space they have for the dogs is also perfectâcomfortable, spacious, and designed for them to feel happy and at ease. Iâm very grateful for how well they treated Bella and would definitely recommend them! đžâ¤ď¸
Marcy did a wonderful job pet sitting my dog! She was caring and attentive. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. Marcy was also reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving to care for their pets. Thank you so much, Marcy!
This is the second time that Lidia has watched my dog, Lola. Although I missed Lola, I didnât worry one bit that she was in great hands. Lidia is always so kind to Lola and she treats her like gold! Iâm grateful to have found someone so great to take care of Lola!

Valerie was great with my senior dog, Gerry, who she watched for about a week while I was on vacation. Between his age and his separation anxiety, Gerry isnât always the easiest pup, but Valerie knew how to let him settle in â when to love him up, when to distract him, and when to give him space. She always updated me on how he was doing, and worked with me to find solutions if he seemed particularly grumpy. Gerry also has a bit of a complicated medication regimen, which Valerie handled perfectly. She clearly has experience will all types of dogs and their needs, and I felt confident leaving Gerry in her capable hands. Iâd absolutely call Valerie again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Paterson is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 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 petâs specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 13,770 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Paterson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Paterson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Paterson 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 Paterson.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Paterson. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Paterson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
