“Very good with my pug. She took care of her like her own dog. The backyard was a huge plus. I also got regular updates about her eating and outings. The pictures and video updates were also helpful to put me at ease.”
“It was our first time using Rover and Jessica F.'s stay for our Bori (15lbs, Cavapoo). She not only sent photos and videos several times a day throughout the stay but also took very good care of our dog. We were worried that Bori wouldn't want to come home after the wonderful experience with her and her family. The fenced backyard she has is very good (Bori played a lot in the sun and the yard) and she has a separate stay area for the dogs. I will definitely ask her again for her help in the future! Thank you!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay. You can tell Ekaterina loves animals. Our dog was comfortable with her from the moment they met. It was so comforting to know our pet was in such good hands. We got a lot of pictures and you could tell our dog was enjoying her stay with Ekaterina's family.”
“Margarita was amazing with my baby boy! He was so calm when picking him up . She sent me videos and kept me updated with his eating potting etc. definitely will be using her for future sittings”
“Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!”
“As an admitted helicopter dog mom, I get nervous every time I have to leave them behind but Melodie has put all my concerns to rest. Brooklyn and Peppa had a great time with her. They enjoyed walks, tug of war games and lots of snuggles. And the bonus? - Her home is immaculately clean and smells amazing! In one long weekend, she has officially become my go-to. I will be booking with her again!”
“This is our second time book with Lucas and Katherine and we will definitely be using them again. They are so sweet, send the cutest pictures and show so much long to my baby girl.”
“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”
About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.
“As first-time users of dogsitting (we just adopted our 8-year old Beau 2 years ago), we couldn't have been better served by Monica and her family. They have a wonderful set-up for dog care - big, multilevel home, huge fenced backyard, and very pet-friendly throughout, along with a dear, patient older dog who is very happy sharing her "den" with her visiting buddies. Monica shared regular photos and reports, and was so clearly loving and enthusiastic about caring for our guy - giving him his daily medication and welcoming all of my (um, very detailed) instructions about his routine. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Nan was great! Would recommend to anyone looking to board there pet. Was able to book with her last minute with no problem. She really cared well for my young puppy, kept in touch the entire time, and sent pictures and videos. My puppy loved her! Will absolutely be using Nan again to care for my dog when I'm away.”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Grace is terrific wirh our dogs. They love being wirh her. She definitely spoils them and takes great care of them. She is very responsive. We are grateful we found her through Rover.”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”

I highly recommend Raheem as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. He sends pictures and videos of Mabel throughout the stay keeping us informed. He was so accommodating on the last stay considering our flight got delayed twice, uber took a while to pick us up at the airport. We finally picked up Mabel much later than scheduled and he was so understanding and professional.
A huge thank you to Isbath for coming to our rescue at the last minute! While I was in New Jersey for my niece’s graduation, Pepper started her first heat cycle, which meant she couldn’t stay with my sister’s male dog. Isbath stepped in on short notice and took amazing care of Pepper for three nights. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and I could tell Pepper felt safe and comfortable with her. One of the videos she sent showed Pepper following her around the house—something Pepper only does when she trusts someone. Thank you, Isbath, for treating Pepper like family! ❤️🐾
Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.
Highly recommend. Melodie was amazing!! Polite and very welcoming. This was my 1st time leaving my dog an I was nervous but she kept me updated and sent me pictures it really eased my mind . My dog was super happy and comfortable being there with all the walks and play dates I would totally book with her again. Very pleased with the whole experience.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 13,163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plainfield. 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 Plainfield 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 Plainfield 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 Plainfield 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 Plainfield.
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 Plainfield 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.
