“Celeste was amazing to work with! I left on a trip and had no one to watch my dog Mika so I had Celeste take care of her for 1 week. Celeste was genuinely excited to watch Mika and she made sure to give lots of attention and affection. She created a comfortable environment and Mika quickly got used to staying in a different house. I received daily updates and photos and was 100% confident that Mika was in the right hands. 10/10 experience and I would not hesitate to leave Mika with Celeste again in the future.”
“Natalia and Ilian did an excellent job taking care of my pup and providing updates and pictures while she was in their care. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Esther was amazing with Mia! Esther sent me daily updates and pictures. Mia is in a single dog home and she got along well with Esther's dog. Mia was rescued on August 24, 2026 and Esther and her care of Mia was a HUGE relief when I went away for the weekend! I am looking forward to Mia's next stay with Esther!”
“Jonathan and Rebecca were absolutely wonderful!! They communicated with me every day with an update on how my dog was doing and sent pics! Highly recommend this lovely family to take care of your pet!! ❤️”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“We are so happy we found Nasreen to watch Disco for a couple of days. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pet behind, but she made us feel completely at ease (with pics and videos) . Our dog was clearly spoiled and loved on while we were gone. Disco was so happy when we got back. If you are looking for someone reliable who genuinely loves dogs, I highly recommend Nasreen and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Jalisa was the sweetest since before we met in person! This was only the third time Angel has been away from me in 14 years, and I knew she was in good hands. Her and her family were so kind and welcoming! She sent pics and video and I could tell Ang was having a ball! I’m so glad that I found her and I will be booking more stays for sure.”
“I can't say enough good things about Anoti! She and her family welcomed Dante with open arms and really made him feel at home. Dante is very high-energy, and Anoti accommodated nicely with plenty of long walks. I could see from the photos how much fun Dante was having and how much love he was getting. I would definitely seek out Anoti for our future boarding needs!”
“My first time using rover was definitely the best decision I made ! I had a great dog sitter to watch my dog. I loved getting updates , videos and pictures of my dog . I definitely would rebook with Cherish again ?. Plus it’s so convenient for me because she’s in my hometown . I don’t want to take him anywhere else . I’m glad I found her using Rover. Thank you so much again ?!! Jordy is very happy .”
“Letitua was amazing. She and her family took great care of Levi and kept me updated all throughout Levi's stay. I could tell that Levi had a great time playing as well. Would definitely recommend”
About: I have taken care of dogs of many kinds. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I recently retired so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am flexible and available to walk or board your furry friend. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your or my dogs and/or create separate space at the house.
“Alex and her family were amazing with our Pup. She watched him for 1 week. He received lots of attention and love! He returned happy. She made us feel comfortable leaving our pup! We will definitely use her again! Thank you!”
“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!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Jennifer. She was in constant contact with me and I knew what my baby was up to all the time! She has two of the cutest kids who loved constant playtime so my puppy came home super happy. He didn’t even want to come home when I picked him up and seemed annoyed he was back. lol!! Thank you, Jennifer! I am definitely re-booking!!”

Anny was amazing with Jack! Great communication, lots of pictures and videos, and very accommodating. She gave him his medication and even cooked him rice when he had an upset stomach. She truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again!
Isbath and her family are so so so incredible. She's warm, welcoming, professional, and inquisitive. She checked in with multiple times a day and provided photos, which helped me feel even more at ease. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her as my go to sitter. I could tell my girl Sailor loved her visit, before putting her in the car she stopped and had the urge to run to their front steps and back inside to play. Couldn't recommend more.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Amarilis was kind, responsible, and attentive, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. Tyson was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave Tyson. I would definitely recommend Amarilis to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Max stayed with Ji over the weekend of August 14 and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated throughout our time out of town, which gave me great peace of mind. Ji was also very attentive to Max’s stomach issues and made sure he was well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him!
Kim really is the kindest and sweetest soul, she made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her for 2 weeks! She sent multiple pictures everyday and updated me on everything. Kim loved my baby as if he was her own and was amazing with him the whole time. Literally could not thank her enough!!!
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!
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.
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!
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 Pet Boarding in Plainfield is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $72 per night. On Rover, 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.
There are 13,539 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Plainfield. About 87% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
