“Kristen was an absolute gem to work with! She sent me pictures of my dog everyday and was very responsive. My dog had an excellent time and seemed to be taken care of very well!”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”
“Kerri and Harry are incredibly attentive, patient and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Daisy will be going back, so long as they'll have her.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“Ryan is an excellent dog-sitter. He took great care of our dog, Sydney and sent us lots of pictures of her during her stay with him. She was a very happy and tired pup when we got her home. Highly recommend him!”
“Tanvi and her family gave Chestnut so much love. Their Shi-Tzu Happy was a great companion to him and they became best friends! Tanvi sent regular updates with photos and videos every day and put us at ease. This was our first boarding experience for a whole week, and we would not hesitate to keep him there again. Thank you for being such a caring and good rover sitter for Chestnut!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Jolanta was so great with our pup Franklin! She was great with communication. She played with him & sent pics. We look forward to having Jolanta care for him again!”
“Tao's home is beautiful and accommodating to pets. We met his wife and instantly realized this family truly loves to care for dogs. Her questions were catered to my dog's needs. She instantly connected with "Halo" and I just knew Halo would be very well cared for. After his stay, Halo returned happy and content. We will absolutely return again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We always had a family member watch our dog so we were nervous trusting someone else. Traci and Jeff went out of their way to make our dog feel like part of their family. Pictures were sent twice a day with a brief update. I would not hesitate to use them again. They are good people.”
“Kim was so gentle and kind with my older dog. He can get nervous in new situations but I can tell he was totally comfortable with her which put my mind at ease while I was away. We received photos and updates every day and our dog looked so happy! I would definitely rebook with Kim in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking care of Rookie!”
“Purvi is an incredibly caring and kind person who treated our dog like family. It’s clear that Candy loves her—her warmth and compassion shine through in everything she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such loving hands.”
“Just picked our dog up from another stay with Melissa and Dan and it’s so clear to us how well cared for and happy he is in their care. We received regular updates and photos throughout our stay which were so helpful. And we can tell he has a great relationship with their family and dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Angela & Michael were very understanding, caring, and went beyond the expected on trying to make sure our dog will be comfortable and happy while under their care. Ours is a very sensitive dog, very attached to us and pretty sure he suffers of separation anxiety, so he was very stressed and sad the first day, he even acted aggressively for the first time to other people, but they were very understanding of his situation and emotions and by the next morning he was himself again, the whole family interacted with ShiZhu and made him feel at home, loved and well cared.”
“Thana & Subangi were wonderful! They treated my pets like one of their own. All pictures and videos sent throughout the 9 days showed happy, well taken care of doggies. Plenty of outdoor fun and extra care taken during meals. Dogs were given alot of attention. I am so pleased and will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“Joanne was amazing with our doggo. He tried to go on a hunger strike but she completely got him to eat…he had lots of walks and love!! Would absolutely have him stay with her again!!”
“As always, Whitney and Michael took the best care of our two doggies! The dogs are comfortable with them, and they keep us updated along the way. Their kids also do great with the dogs, and their own doggies get along well with ours. We will continue to use Whitney and Michael for future stays. Don’t hesitate to try them out!”
“Kathleen took great care of our 11 year old dog Luke! She provided us with updates and pictures daily. We felt very comfortable while away and will definitely us her for future needs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pennington
On her “first date” with Cheryl, our dog was comfortable right away, even though she’s often nervous when she’s away from us and meeting new people. Not only was Cheryl wonderful with our dog, she also was prompt and responsive in her communications with us. We will definitely call on Cheryl to dog sit again. Thank you, Cheryl!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pennington on Rover is $55.5 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 2,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pennington. 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.
92% of Pennington 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 Pennington 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 Pennington 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 Pennington.
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 Pennington 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.
