“Kate did an amazing job taking care of my baby kitten, Bella! She provided frequent updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear my kitten was in great hands. Her care and attention to detail were exceptional, and I truly appreciated her reassurance throughout. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“My baby was with Thana and Subangi for one night, and he had an amazing time. Thana was sending pics, videos and updates constantly. I am happy with their service. I will use them again”
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.
“Steven is very passionate and caring with pets and we really liked their place and very well fenced and good backyard play area for dogs. He is very proactive in sharing pictures and updates about our dog during his stay. I will 100% recommend Steven for boarding your pets with him. Really hats off for your dedication Steven. We can now happily plan for our future vacations, leaving our dog in your safe hands 😊”
“Kiana was amazing! She was able to take in our dog on such short notice, was extremely communicative, and upon meeting her it is evident that she has the perfect temperament to put a dog at ease, especially in a new environment. We got caught in the worst gridlock traffic coming home and she was so patient and accommodating despite our pickup being delayed. Cant say enough good things!”
“Namrata is great in taking care of my Bichon. She sent me picture every day and updates me on my dog's status. My dog usually does not eat at stranger's place, but at her house, she ate everything and slept well. My dog was able to cuddle with them and play with them everyday. I feel that my dog had a vacation while I was one vacation. Namrata is the person to go to for dog sit while I am away. Thanks for the great service.”
“Kiko had a wonderful time with Tanvi. This was her first experience staying with Tanvi and in a couple of days, it looked like she felt at home there. Tanvi was very caring and tried different ways to get Kiko to eat her meals. We will definitely leave Kiko with Tanvi going forward. I'm glad we have such a worry-free option for Kiko.”
“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!”
“Catherine was the best dog sitter! I am so glad we found her, as I can now leave my dog with peace of mind. My dog seemed very happy to be with her, and I would definitely book her services again.”
“I adopted my dog Nomi at the end of 2025 and knew I had a lot of rehabilitation ahead of us since she is highly fearful and skittish. Nomi came from a hoarding house in Puerto Rico where 100 animals were removed from the property. I learned about Carly during a search on Rover and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered we both love mixed breed dogs from PR. Today was the first day since Nomi's adoption that she stayed with anyone other than myself. I decided on a half day of daycare and was thrilled with how well Nomi did with Carly, her family and dog Naia. I received photos and updates during the day which put my mind at ease. I felt a sense of trust almost immediately. I will definitely be asking Carly to watch Nomi again. Thank you so much Carly! 😊🐶”
“Samantha was great. Very attentive to our dog and his needs and provided regular updates. Her dog cocoa was also very sweet. Would recommend to anyone in the area”
“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!”
“Wonderful! My shih tzu was very well cared for and had a great time with Ami & James. Excellent communication and photos throughout the stay. It is obvious they love dogs, and treat their visitors like their own. We will definitely be sending Frankie for future visits.”
“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Renee was an amazing dog sitter. We were very nervous about dropping our dog off for someone strange to watch ber. Mopsy was treated as a person and not a dog. Renee left wonderful detail messages and sent pictures. We were comforted that our Mopsy was being loved. I highly recommend Renee!!!”

Thank you Dipak & Sunny.My dog takes time to warm up to other dogs, and I was a bit worried since they have their own — but they were so patient and let him settle in at his own pace. Regular updates put my mind at ease, and he came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend them for anxious pups.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Plainsboro on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plainsboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Plainsboro sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Plainsboro landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Plainsboro home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
