“First time using rover or ever leaving Cue with anyone for any amount of time. I reached out to Stacia before even making a full profile. She responded right away and scheduled a meet and greet. As soon as we walked in She was welcoming. Cue was a little overwhelmed at first because it was his first time but he warmed up within 10 mins and seemed happy. The house is super clean and smells good so we were sold right away. We left cue for 4 days with Stacia. She updated us about how he was doing and sent pics ?. I was very nervous about leaving him because he has an extremly sensitive stomach and loves to put stuff in his mouth he shouldn't so he has to be watched carefully. Stacia did a wonderful job making sure he was safe. She responds to texts extremely fast which gave me reassurance while away that he was ok. When we came to pick him up he was sitting with Stacia and didn't even get up to greet us lol we are confident he had a great time and was well taken care of. We will be leaving him a few times in daycare and when we travel. I am so happy we found Stacia ❤️ she is wonderful.”
“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!”
“My 4 dogs had the best time with Dhruvit and his family over the long weekend. Our dogs have never been away from us so finding a great dog lover/sitter was not easy. When I saw all the reviews for Dhruvit I knew I found a match for Spencer, Nathan, Winston and Cooper. Dhruvit sent pictures everyday and that just made our time away more enjoyable as we didn’t have to worry. We will definitely use Dhruvit in the future. It’s all about fur babies and if they are happy then we are happy. Thank You 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.
“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.”
“Raheem is a wonderful Sitter. It was our first time booking with him and we were worried Mabel was going to have a hard time adjusting. Meet and greet went well so we booked the boarding for 6 nights (we were out of the country). He sent us pictures and videos throughout the whole stay and kept us informed. Will definitely book with Raheem again!”
“Meet and greet went so well i felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. The overall stay was great, very friendly and caring towards peanut, sent pictures and updates (even bathed him) from the pictures i could see he was very happy, which made our time away from him more easy to enjoy knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Claudia again and highly recommend.”
“Thank you jose <3 barbie had so much fun that she didnt want to leave , thank you again , you are a charm and will definitely leave barbie again soon with you ! Blessings”
“Jessica and her mom were great! They took so good care of Rocco, he is shy and doesn’t trust easily but I can tell he had a great time. They send pictures and videos daily which is highly appreciated and gave my peace of mind being away. They had many other dogs which was super fun for Rocco since he is super friendly and loves to play. The backyard is also a huge plus. Totally recommended!”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
About: My wife and I have over 35 years of experience taking care of dogs. As a former dog trainer, I have worked with breeds of all types and understand the unique needs of different dogs. In addition our daughter is a professional dog walker so we are a very dog loving family. Currently we are the parents of a wonderful labradoodle named Rocky, who is the most gentle and loving dog on the planet. He will welcome your precious pup with open paws. We are extremely attentive and will take care of your dog as our own. Can’t wait to meet your pup! We work from home so pet care is fully integrated into our daily routine. We are able to take your pup out for potty breaks as much as needed and are always available for your pup. We have a fully fenced backyard for supervised playtime and we will take your pup for a minimum of three 30 minute walks per day as we enjoy walking.
“Lineth did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was clear our cat felt so comfortable and happy with her. Lineth was so thoughtful and attentive that we never had to worry while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Christian and his wonderful family took excellent care of our dog Marco. He was in touch regularly, sending pictures and updates. Marco seemed to have a lot of fun playing in the yard and with the children. We weren’t anxious or worried at all leaving our dog with Christian. He and his family are pure dog lovers! Highly recommend using Christian for dog sitting services and we will certainly use him again in the future.”
“Saty took wonderful care of Gemini while I was away on vacation. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gemini was being cared for with the same love and attention as if he were his own dog. I would absolutely book with Saty again.”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Gurdeep was so easy to communicate. She provided regular updates during stay. Ben came happy from her. Would definitely recommend Gurdeep and will rebook for future needs. Thank you Gurdeep.”
“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.”

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.
Wan Yi is amazing. This was our first time being apart from our cat Loki. We were very worried that she would think we had abandoned her and be depressed. The first half hour with Wan Yi and Loki was so comfortable that she was playing and going in for cuddles. We got pictures and videos to still feel connected. Best decision I have made this year.
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
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Plainfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 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 13,163 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.
