“Steven was flexible and easy to work with. He seems to be very knowledgable about dogs and treats them with care. I received regular updates and photos while we were away. I think that Dusty enjoyed his stay!”
“Kristen provided loving care for my 15 yr old Beagle, while also following instructions with his food plan and meds. Additionally, she provided lots of stimulating activities for this little sniffer, including her own little chihuahua, Cashew, and other little boarding doggies. (My little guy gets more stimulation in her apartment than he gets from me!) While Kristen is a great boarder, for my occasional trips away, I am now considering her as a day care provider too. And she is very accommodating and understanding of trip delays, as well. Will be sure to book with Kristen again soon. (Her own little baby boy loves dogs too).”
“I appreciate Samantha’s diligence in dealing with our last minute dilemmas. Spencer seemed to have had a lovely visit with her & Coco. He appeared happy & at ease in the pics she shared. I would certainly recommend her as a sitter of the highest quality…”
“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!”
“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Really amazing family to leave your pet with! Thank you so much for all you’ve done to help with watching our cat while we were away. Highly recommended, A++++!”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”
“Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“Melissa and Dan gave us the best first experience anyone could ever hope for. I was also shocked to get updates and pictures to show my friends while I was on my trip. I have definitely been recommending their services!! Bear had an amazing time!”
“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!”
“Our 2 dogs had pleasant stay with Tanvi and we were getting daily update with pictures and video. She went beyond what was required and help us with individual request for diet of our dogs. Will use her in future again.”
“This was our first 2-week vacation in several years. Toby had a wonderful time at Whitney and Mike's house...like going to sleep-over camp! Thanks for taking good care of our boy!!”
“Elvis was very happy during the boarding and we kept getting regular updates from our host. It’s very nice to see that they had a lovely place lots of room for roaming, walking, playing. This stuck to our instruction sheet and his time plan. We will be coming back.”
“We left Keenu with Noria for the whole day. And he loved it. She was very nice and accommodative of my timings (as it was a work day). Her loads of pics and videos about Keenu’s well being were well appreciated throughout the day. We will definitely reach out again to her for our next dog sitting need. Thank you !”
“Kathleen took very good care of our dog Milo. She made sure to keep us updated by sending pictures and letting us know how he's doing. I couldn't recommend her enough! We will be continuing our boarding with her in the future😊.”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“Kiko was back with Subangi and Thana last week and she had such a good time! Subangi always ensures that Kiko eats properly and keeps us informed with lots of pictures and detailed messages. They even administered a medicine for her. We (and especially Kiko!) are so happy to have found Subangi and Thana to care for Kiko when we have to be away. Thank you Subangi and Thana!”
“Rob sent pictures everyday and took great care of my pup, Bamba. I can’t recommend him enough if you want a chill and comforting presence around your dog. He’s someone that makes even an anxious owner like myself feel at ease with boarding her. Thanks Uncle Rob!”
“Gerry watched our 5 month old Maltipoo puppy Rocket this evening. He had a blast playing with her. Gerry sent us a bunch of updates and photos throughout the evening. She is very responsive, personable, clearly loves dogs and knows how to watch them. We will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to others as well. This was our first time leaving Rocket with a sitter and we got lucky in finding Gerry.”
“Kyla took care of Leo on short notice and kept in touch with updates while we were away. Leo seemed very happy and relaxed the whole time. We really appreciated her communication and care!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pennington on Rover is $55.5 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 2,026 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.
