Natalia and David are amazing! I have an unpredictable rescue pup and he was SO happy staying with them. I was so relieved. My dog had fun running around the back yard, going for long walks, and playing several times a day. Thank you for showering my boy with so much love ❤️

Amazing 5/5 experience with Jose! He always responded super quickly and provided pictures! My dog was still a puppy when I left him so I was nervous about leaving him so young, but Jose helped a lot with the potty training! His other pups are super playful and defensively made the stay more fun for my pup. Would recommend and ask him to host again!

Lakshmi took care of my Ruby for a couple of weeks and she did such an amazing job caring for her. She sent me photos and videos everyday and made sure Ruby was getting all the attention she needed to feel comfortable with her and her family. I would 100% book with Lakshimi again. Thanks you Lakshimi for treating Ruby like she was part of your family.

Bhavani handles puppies like a pet owner with care and affection. Bhavani took great care of Benny. She regularly sent pics and videos, which was very reassuring. She spent time playing with him and made sure he was well cared for throughout. I especially appreciated how she helped Benny socialize—he was happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.

I 100% recommend Dhruvit and his amazing family! They’re super friendly and incredibly patient with dogs — you can really feel how much they care. From the start, they were happy to set up a meet and greet so we could get to know each other, which made us feel very comfortable right away. Elsa had the best time staying with them — she was happy and well taken care of the whole time! Dhruvit sent us lots of photos and always replied really quickly, which made us feel super reassured. He also paid close attention to Elsa’s habits and followed all our instructions perfectly. Elsa is a super high-energy dog who needs lots of exercise, and Dhruvit made sure she got plenty of walks and playtime every day. We’re so glad we found them! They’re truly wonderful people, and we’d definitely love to book with them again in the future.

Bonnie and her wonderful family took great care of our Leo while we were on vacation. They followed his usual routine to ensure he was comfortable in a new setting. It took Leo a few days to adjust but after that he was his usual playful and relaxed self with them. Bonnie also provided timely updates and pictures of Leo so we had no worries while we were away. We would happily have them take care of Leo again!

From the initial conversation on Rover to dropping of my beloved Frazier (cat) with Jacqueline she guided me on how boarding a cat would work, her strategy to let Frazier warm up and socialize on his terms and the love she’d provide. Jacqueline sent me daily pictures and videos to put my mind at ease and sent many text messages to reassure me that Frazier was comfortable and in good spirits. He looked so happy in the pictures and right at home. Her home is very conducive to comfortably leaving your dog or cat !

I had a wonderful experience with Sudhesh for my dog. He took such great care of my dog and made him feel completely at home. Sudhesh ensured he got regular walks, gave him plenty of attention, and shared photos diligently, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was in caring hands. I highly recommend Sudhesh to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy and loving person to care of their dog.

I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the moment I met her and her husband, I knew I could trust them. I’m extremely picky about who I leave Princess with—she’s my baby! But they went above and beyond. I got daily photos, videos, and even thoughtful little gifts when I picked her up. Princess was so loved and cared for—it was clear from their experience (she was a vet in Colombia!) and their passion. I’m beyond satisfied and relieved to have found someone I trust in New York. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further. I’m so grateful for them, and Princess had the best time!

Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.

Sam was wonderful at sitting my two dogs Vivian and Tiger. My dogs are on the high energy side and can be a handful especially Tiger who is rambunctious. Sam was gentle and easy going with my dogs and especially took care of Tiger who unfortunately was not feeling well that day due to a new brand of dog food not agreeing with his stomach. I highly recommend Sam as a sitter.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shandy! My puppy stayed for 3 nights, and I was so impressed with the care, love, and attention given. From the start, communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in such capable hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable, safe, and happy. I received updates, videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When she dropped off my puppy, I could tell she had been well cared for and loved—happy, relaxed, and even better with her routines. It’s clear that Shandy truly has a passion and talent for caring for dogs. I’m so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable boarder, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member!

FAQs for Boarding - Port Reading

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Reading on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,540 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Reading. 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.

95% of Port Reading 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 Port Reading 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 Port Reading 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 Port Reading.

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 Port Reading 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.
