“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.”
“Jenny and her family welcomed Lupin into their home with open arms! He had a wonderful experience and I am sure will miss them and their dog Casper. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again as the need arises. I was nervous at first but she eased my concerns and sent pics of Lupin having fun!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
“My dog had a great time! Amy is very helpful and with daily updates and pictures to help us know things are good! Make our away time a lot easier. We would definitely use again in the near future!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was a young child and have worked training puppies, poodle mixes, for the last two and a half years. I have had experience with oral medication and brushing poodle hair. I love taking dogs for walks and playing in the backyard. On hot days there is a doggy splash pad available for those who like water play as well as frozen pumpkin treats. I currently work mostly from home and will only be out for a few hours a couple of days so there will be plenty of time for walks and games. What better way to end the day than to relax on the couch! I have one goldendoodle to keep your fur baby company and though he is big, he is super gentle with the little dogs. I have a 4.5 foot tall chain link fence around our back yard. I have crates with dog beds for over night and during the day your dog will have access to our living spaces. Since I'm home most of the time, dogs can be outside/inside according to their preference. Please inform me of any quirks or dietary needs your dog may have. To protect your dog from overheating or hypothermia, walks will be limited when it's over 85°F or below 30°F.
“Tanvi is super star host. We left Sailor with her for three days. He was very happy and relaxed during his stay and we received daily pic and video update everyday. Knowing your pup is happy while you are away, is a great feeling. I would definitely choose her again and recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Jennifer and her husband Shawn, took care of our Scooby for two nights. That was the first time we left him for our out-of-state vacation. We are so comfortable leaving Scooby. They sent us pictures and videos of him from time to time. At first, we have guilt feeling leaving him, but Jennifer gave us the security that he is taking good care of our dog. I recommended Rover to all my friends with pet-dog. Such a pleasant experience using the service.”
“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”
“We are so happy we chose Tom to look after Fluffy. He was very professional and kept us posted with pictures. Fluffy is an anxious dog, but Tom made her feel right at home—even letting her sleep on the bed and hang out on the couch. He also let us do a meet-and-greet the day before, which was very helpful. We will definitely be booking with Tom again.”
About: Pet Care Experience I am a full time veterinary technician, and have 3 years of experience. Who knows dogs and cats better than someone who works with them? 😊🩷 I provide care for all kinds of cats and dogs, with all kinds of personalities. I understand their needs based on age, health, breed, and personality. Along with the Rover services I provide, I can also offer medical care such as subcutaneous fluids and/or medications at no extra cost. Your pet will have a safe, fun, and stress free experience in a comfortable environment. Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer. Selecting this option is discounted, and my availability is more flexible 🌸🌼 Schedule I work full time, so my boarding services are perfect for pets who are already used to a working household. This is also ideal for pets who are used to using a pee pad or litterbox, however they will still go on walks to get exercise and fresh air! While I am at work, pets will be safely secured in a comfortable and appropriate area of my home, and be well provided for. Before leaving for work, your pet will have: - Fresh food and water - Medications administered (if applicable) - Walks / Potty breaks / Cleaned litterbox / Fresh pee pads - Playtime and exercise Once I return home, your pet will receive more potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, affection, and any additional care they need. I board 7 days a week with pre-arranged drop off and pick up times. House Sitting I am available during the weekends starting Fridays after 7pm into Sundays, and on Holidays when my clinic is closed. On rotating Saturdays I do work a 6 hour shift, so your pet will be left alone for that period only, and I will return after. Drop Ins I am fully available for 3 drop in visits on Wednesdays, Saturdays (Before and after work) and Sundays. Environment I live in an apartment with two other responsible adults who are respectful of the pets in my care. While they may interact with your pet, their care is my sole responsibility. Your pet will be staying in my clean, secure, and spacious bedroom while having free access to roam between my room and another bedroom (provided your pet gets along with my dog) She is a 4 year old Yorkie and is very friendly and playful. Safety I always make sure to use the Double Door Rule and take precautions to prevent escape attempts. I also make sure your pet's living space is clean and free of any harmful objects, food, substances, and other unsafe conditions. During your pet's stay, my room is their room 🩷 Trust I provide full transparency and an open line of communication (while I am at work, responses may be slightly delayed, but I will always get back to you as soon as possible) You will receive regular updates throughout your pet’s stay, including photos and/or videos. If there are any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, you will be notified right away. To ensure the best care for your pet, all pets must be up to date with their rabies vaccine (as required by law) distemper, and bordatella vaccines. They must also be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious diseases The safety and comfort of your pet will always come first. If I believe a situation poses a risk to your pet, another animal, myself, or anyone else, I reserve the right to modify or discontinue service. In the event this happens, you will be notified and your emergency contact will be contacted.
“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We were nervous about leaving our dog with someone for the first time and Pardeep put our fears to rest with frequent updates and pictures. We could see that he was having a great time and getting lots of love and attention. We are so lucky to have connected with Pardeep and will absolutely be contacting him the next time we go away!”
“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”
“My pup, Candy was very happy with her stay. Joanne was very kind and kept me updated on how everything was going and I felt confident leaving Candy there. I would book again.”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.
“Amy was great with Max! For an older Chihuahua mix, he can be curmudgeonly, unless he's sleeping :-) Amy is very communicative, and sent several photos a videos. I recommend Amy for your dog boarding needs!”
About: I have been taking care of my own pet budgie. I have also taken care of my neighbor's pet turtle for over 8 times. They find me as responsible as I continue to take care of their pet when needed. At my parents house, I would take care of our dog like taking the dog on walks and feeding treats along with some playing. Everyday, I check if my pet is doing well. I make sure the food is filled and water is clean. I check these basic needs every day as well as playing with my pet. When I take care of my neighbor's turtle, I provide the given amount of food. I also play with it as I trace my finger along the glass. I make sure everything is fine with the turtle.
“Sayak was great with my fearful pup! He asked a lot of questions about my dog's habits and needs and was super responsive to messages. I felt reassured that my dog was safe with responsible caretakers and he was treated like family during his stay.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Raritan is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Raritan
Ryan is an absolute lifesaver! He watched my elderly dog, Misty, at his home for a week over the 4th of July, which is normally the most stressful time of the year for her due to the fireworks. Misty has severe anxiety, but Ryan handled her with so much patience, love, and care. He kept her safe, calm, and treated her like family during the chaotic holiday. I received updates at least twice a day along with the most adorable pictures, which completely put my mind at ease. I was able to relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. I cannot recommend Ryan enough, especially for anyone with senior or anxious pups. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"
Lisa and her family took amazing care of Elvira! It was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier with the care provided to our pet. Lisa shared daily photos as well as detailed updates. I would highly recommend and will absolutely be rebooking the next time I am in need!
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Birdie received while I was away! Kate was awesome - attentive, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I got plenty of updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Birdie was clearly in great hands, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!

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 4,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Raritan. 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.
93% of Raritan 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 Raritan 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 Raritan 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 Raritan.
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 Raritan 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.
