“Whitney, Michael, and Family watched our two dogs for 3 days, and they were so incredibly accommodating for a last minute trip. The meet and greet was easy, and I could tell the dogs were taken great care of while we were out of town. I would happily recommend them, and we’d be happy to use them for future stays! They were a also flexible with us for drop off / pick up, which was so appreciated given the unpredictability of travel! Thank you all!”

“Chandar was absolutely fantastic. This was our first experience leaving our dog, and Chandar did everything we asked plus more. He gave us updates twice a day and photos of our dog throughout the day. From the photos and the feedback from Chandar, you know that your dog feels at home, calm and cared for. Our dog ate, slept well and got walked twice a day. Chandar went above and beyond in every element possible. Thanks Chandar we look forward to traveling again in the future with a stay again with you.”

“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!”

Our Great Pyrenees, Guinness, boarded with Raj and his family for nearly a full week while my wife and I were traveling. It was a great experience for Guinness and for us. Guinness was very well cared for. Raj sent lots of photos and videos of Guinness' activities during that week -- an effort we really appreciated. When we picked him up it was obvious that Guinness felt very comfortable in Raj's home.

Michael was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my dog for six days while I was away on vacation. He was very accommodating, welcoming during the meet-and-greet, and kept me updated regularly throughout my trip, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and attention he provided. I would highly recommend Michael to any dog owner and will definitely be booking with him again for my next vacation!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Emiko! This was our first time having her watch our dog, Doodle, while we were away, and she was an absolute delight—cheerful, professional, and so easy to work with. Doodle had unfortunately twisted her front leg just a few days before our trip. Emiko went above and beyond to give her extra gentle care, ensuring she didn't strain her leg and making sure she finished her remaining medication. Doodle usually gets anxious and refuses to eat in unfamiliar places, but thanks to Emiko’s thoughtful attention, tender care, and adjusted walk routine, Doodle felt right at home immediately. Her property is beautiful, spacious, and completely safe for dogs to explore. Plus, Emiko kept us updated every single day with thoughtful check-ins, which completely removed any worries we had about leaving Doodle in a new environment. She truly treated Doodle like a member of her own family—and Doodle clearly felt the same way, nuzzling up to Emiko and her daughter to express her gratitude! We whole-heartedly recommend Emiko to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy home away from home for their pet. We will definitely be back!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pleasant Plains

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pleasant Plains is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $67 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.

As of November 2026, there are 2,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pleasant Plains. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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.

94% of sitters in Pleasant Plains 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 Pleasant Plains 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 Pleasant Plains.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pleasant Plains. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Pleasant Plains 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
