“Thank you so much So apprecia All the love and care you and the family gave Lana and all the pictures of her enjoying being there ! Lana can't wait to visit again You made her and us feel so comfortable having her be with you !!”
“I can't say enough good things about Dipali & Sunny! They took such wonderful care of my Momo and made the entire process stress-free. From the moment I dropped Momo off, I could tell they genuinely cared about my dog’s happiness and well-being. Momo came home happy, healthy, and even a little spoiled! Dipali kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personality made all the difference. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further. I highly recommend Dipali & Sunny and will definitely be using their services again!”
“Anish & Aaheli were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. I especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos throughout the day—it was reassuring to know he was happy and being well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend them and would happily book with them again!”
“Very happy with Savi! This was my first time leaving my dog Zola anywhere. She started with day care and then spent almost a week with Savi. I was updated daily with photos and videos. I knew Zola was in great hands. Leaving your dog at a new place can be anxiety-provoking for both owner and dog, but I actually felt calm and reassured with Savi. Highly recommend!”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”
“Sujata & Sandeep were really great to meet. Sent regular updates with pics during Cody’s stay with them. Neo & Cody bonded very well on our greet and meet session prior to boarding him. Cody loved playing in their back yard and was coaxing Neo to join along. Cody felt at home. Planning to use their services soon. Thank you guys!!!”
“Pam was very welcoming and knowledgeable about all dogs! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel comfortable for my dog to be dropped off. Will definitely use her again. She also sends daily pictures of my dog and it”
“Jaimie provided wonderful care to our two dogs, Penny and Hugo. She helped them to feel safe and comfortable (and got them through all the scary noises of a loud thunderstorm!) We all appreciated the regular photos and updates that Jaimie sent to us.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chandupa and Avi while they cared for our dog Bingo. Their regular updates provided us with peace of mind during our time away, ensuring us that Bingo was not only safe but also happy. Despite an unexpected delay causing us to arrive late, they were incredibly understanding and accommodating, allowing us to pick up Bingo without any hassle. Their kindness and exceptional service truly made a difference. We’re grateful to have found such reliable pet sitters.”
About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.
“It was great experience again with Ryan as that of last time. We got regular and timely updates on Sparkle and she looked happy with him. Thanks Ryan for taking care of Sparkle so well.”
“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”
About: I’ve volunteered at Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary as well as SAVE Pet Shelter through my corporate volunteer opportunities. Additionally, my dog is incredibly stubborn and picky so I’m confident that your pet is much more well behaved. All of Yuki’s meals are prepped daily with an assortment of protein options and fresh vegetables to accommodate nutritional needs. I work a full time job, so my schedule will be a bit more limited. I am available most evenings 7pm and later and select weekends. The neighborhood I live in is very walkable and safe. Additionally, I have no concerns taking your dog to the park or other outdoor options to ensure they get the enrichment they need.
“Oreo enjoyed his stay and made friends with their dog Bentley, this was his first time being away from home and it was such a good experience, I think he will want to go back 😂😉.”
“Jenny was wonderful with my dog Coco. This is the second time she’s taken care of him, and every time I pick him up, he’s happy and relaxed. She always sends me pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It really feels like Coco is at home with her, and that means everything to me. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gives him.”
“I highly recommend Marsha and her husband. My Betty is very shy around other people and they took their time with her as she acclimated into their home. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a reliable boarder. I will for sure be using their service again.”

Very responsible and attentive, I got the feeling that my dog liked them, and they sent me updates with photos throughout the time that really put me at ease and helped me feel like he was with me. This is the 1st time someone has updated me each time he took his medication, which helped a lot to alleviate my concerns that someone will forget this. Highly recommend!
Macauley was absolutely the best! Our pet was so happy, comfortable, and well cared for with her. It was clear from the moment we met that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. We came back to a happy, relaxed, and well-loved pet, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry family member!
Kassidy was very caring and our pet Buddy loved his stay with her. She kept sharing Buddy's activities info and his photos with us periodically which was very calming for us. We will definitely use her services in future and recommend her to those who are looking for a safe home for their pets while going on vacation.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Plainsboro is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $73 per night.

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 Plainsboro 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 Plainsboro 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 Plainsboro.
<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 Plainsboro 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.
