Yanina and Eric were truly exceptional caregivers. They went above and beyond in tending to my beloved dog, Scooby, an 11-year-old Labrador mix. They showered him with affection and personalized attention, making sure he felt safe, loved, and cherished during his stay. Scooby also had the wonderful opportunity to forge new friendships with other pets, which significantly alleviated my worries and brought me peace of mind. The couple was highly communicative, sharing adorable and loving photos that warmed my heart. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, even with last-minute requests. I would undoubtedly trust and rely on them again in the future!

This is our first time using Rover and was very pleased with the process. We were reluctant at first, but after meeting Monica placed us at ease. I would definitely recommend Monica to our friends and family. Monica was very thoughtful with sending photos almost every day of our Bingo having a great time with her and family. Bingo felt at home with them. Thank you again, for taking such great care of our Bingo.

Ilene was absolutely wonderful to my little maltipom , Daphney! Daph has never been left with a sitter before. She was not too thrill about it, but Ilene worked with her to ensure her comfort and Daph eventually began playing with the other pups and truly enjoyed herself. Thank you Ilene, we will be returning for another stay!

I highly recommend Saty for pet care! My precious dog stayed with them while my job took me out of state for a few days. My dog is older and having an option for him to stay in a loving home environment vs a kennel is ideal. I received periodic updates with pictures and videos. Additionally, Saty was very accommodating when my flight coming back was delayed. I will be reaching out to them again when my travels take me out of town and I require loving pet care for my dog.

We have a friendly dog who loves company, two small kids who adore playing with pups, and a spacious fenced in yard perfect for romping around. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of our family while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two elementary school kids , so my schedule is pretty flexible and gives me time to show your sweet pups all the attention and love they need. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pups can run around and play in. It’s my goal to make your dog feel as loved and safe as they do at home.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾

Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

I had the greatest experience using Stacia to take care of Mojo. She went above and beyond the call of duty to care for him and with me traveling, that was top notch service. Daily updates with photos of him enjoying his time away and I didn’t have to worry about him in her care. If I could rate 10 stars, I would. Mojo has found a new second home at Stacia’s place.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Melodie! She watched our dog, Hunter, for two weeks, and we couldn't have asked for better care. From the very beginning—even before we officially booked—she opened her home to us and completely set our minds at ease about how he would do. Hunter was incredibly happy, well cared for, and treated like family the entire time. Most importantly, he got to make some new friends during his stay, which he absolutely loved and enjoyed so much! While we were away, she kept us constantly updated with photos and videos of his adventures, which we deeply appreciated. It was so comforting to see him happy, relaxed, and having a blast. Melodie truly goes above and beyond, and we will absolutely be counting on her for future stays. Highly, highly recommend!

When we first decided we were going away on vacation we didn't know what to do with Simba, so we were going to not go on our trip. However, we heard about the Roover app and we did our search based off our location. Isbath was the first name who popped up and we decided to go with her especially being close to home as well as hee reviews. Not only Isbath and her family were amazing. Their dogs were not just amazing but when we did our meet & greet it really helped Simba open up. Simba is usually anxious, but when Simba meet Isbath & her family he fit right in with them and automatically played with them and didn't run away. This was our sign to go with them because Simba felt comfortable around them and their dogs made him feel at ease. They also sent pictures and videos to us daily, we just knew he was having a great time away from us. Even my husband felt comfortable leaving Simba and knew he was in great hands. When and if we do go on another vacation, we will definitely be using them again. Thank you again to Isbath & her family.

If I could give Margarita and her husband more than 5 stars, I would. They took such good care of my 17 year old Jack Russell. Although he is sweet, he has a lot of age-related issues, he wears a diaper and can be a little grumpy at times. From the moment I met them they made be feel completely comfortable leaving Ringo in their care. They understood his needs and kept me updated and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I am incredibly grateful for the care they gave to Ringo and would not hesitate to trust them with him again. I highly recommend Margarita, Thank you both for taking such great care of our old guy!

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Plainfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Plainfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 13,362 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Plainfield. About 88% of Plainfield sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
