“10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!”

“Julissa was awesome! She truly treated my dog like he was her own. She kept in contact with me daily with updates and pictures and videos, which I very much appreciated. She spent time with my dog, taking him for a walks, to play at the dog park, and out on adventures, which was very good for him and helped with socializing him. I recommend if you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker! I look forward to using her in the near future.”

Knowing Casper was there to keep him company made me feel so much more at ease while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Bonnie, and I’ll definitely be booking her again the next time I’m away.”

Jessica makes everything super easy and is very communicative. I received daily photos and texts. I’m generally nervous about boarding stays but not anymore! We will be booking with Jessica again!”

“Holly and DK have been great so far with our (sometimes needy) corgi Moose! Moose has been to daycare a few times and stayed overnight for a long weekend and he seems to enjoy and come home happy. Holly & DK are a lovely young couple who communicate quickly and thoroughly, are flexible about pick up/drop off times, and always send us a handful of cute pictures. We've also noticed they go above and beyond to return food bowls, kongs, and blankets back cleanly. We're happy we found them and look forward to having Moose stay with them in the future!”

“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”

It was our first time using Anny and she did an awesome job taking care of our little one for 2 weeks. She gave us daily updates either thru pictures, videos or short messages on how our little Sophie was doing. We love that she only takes 1 dog at a time so we are sure that she is able to give attention to our little one. Would definitely come back for future sittings…

Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!

NASA Lived with Cristian for a week. Everything went well. She's seemed comfortable around him when I went to pick her up. Two minor concerns were inadequate photos, videos and terse updates or sometimes no updates daily. Also found matting of hair locks on her ears.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Plainfield on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $72 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 13,079 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Plainfield can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s 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 dog’s 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 Plainfield home-away-from-home, 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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.
