Jacqueline and her family were absolutely amazing! I always get a little worried about leaving Sammy behind when flying overseas but I was able to relax because I was updated everyday with pictures and messages. He was truly loved and treated as a part of their family. Thank you Jacqueline for taking such good care of my Sammy 💕 I would definitely book again and would recommend her!

I highly recommend Saty for pet care! My precious dog stayed with them while my job took me out of state for a few days. My dog is older and having an option for him to stay in a loving home environment vs a kennel is ideal. I received periodic updates with pictures and videos. Additionally, Saty was very accommodating when my flight coming back was delayed. I will be reaching out to them again when my travels take me out of town and I require loving pet care for my dog.

About: With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

We felt so comfortable boarding our dog with Seureon and Dongkwan! We received tons of photo updates throughout his stay, and they were responsive and flexible whenever communicating through logistics. Our dog is very hyper, but he seemed nice and worn out from playing when we picked him up. We will be boarding our dog here again!

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 Dog Boarding - Port Reading

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 13,936 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Port Reading. About 88% of Port Reading 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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.
