“Another great visit with Elizabeth and her family! We are so relieved leaving Coco with her family knowing Coco is being so well taken care of. Coco comes home exhausted from all the love and attention from her children. Thank you so much!!!”
“Kira had such a great time at Maureen’s for her 2 night stay! Maureen gave Kira lots of attention which we appreciated since Kira can be a bit anxious. Maureen also watches Kira on a regular basis for doggy day care and is always great with her! We would not hesitate to have Kira over for a future stay!”
“Carolina was absolutely wonderful with Brady! She is so caring and attentive, and it really shows how much she loves what she does. She was responsive from the very beginning, keeping me updated. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so reliable and thoughtful. I could tell Brady was happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Carolina to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and truly caring sitter!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Aeli watching our dog, Callie! We went on an almost 2 week vacation and Aeli made Callie feel comfortable so quickly! She is so kind heartened and attentive to the dogs she watches, sends pictures or videos everyday, and has 2 adorable dogs that Callie loved playing with! Thank you Aeli for making our hearts so full with your immense care!”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog and I was super nervous. Ann did an unbelievable job. She sent me multiple photos & updates everyday. She also answered my texts immediately. I couldn't possibly be happier with her service. If you are a bit nervous or hesitant like I was, please know that Ann will treat your dog right. I'm 100% going to use her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants assurance that their dog will be in the best hands.”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”
“Thor has stayed with Kun, his partner and Som and more times than I can count and Thor NEVER wants to leave. They consistently update you with pictures, ask dietary related questions prior to giving any treats and are all in all outstanding communicators. They’ve helped me out last minute so many times and the appreciation is massive! Thank you guys!!”
“Ankita was absolutely wonderful with my pet. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. She treated my pet like her own and made sure every detail was taken care of while I was away. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt comfortable and happy in her care. I truly appreciate the attention, love, and responsibility she showed. I highly recommend Anikita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cathy was absolutely amazing and incredible. she is one of the sweetest people i’ve met and i’m so happy i found her to watch my baby. she sent updates and photos and made me feel so comfortable. i will definitely be a returning to cathy for my next trip!”
“Laura and family were fantastic with our older pup Conor. We first did a meet and greet where Laura heard Conor’s needs , asked us questions and took notes. We were kept updated with plenty of of pics and and felt extremely comfortable leaving Conor with this wonderful family . We will use again!”
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“Oliver loved staying at Ksenia's. Her place was clean and welcoming and he felt right at home. She is a great communicator and sent lots of picture updates. He can't wait to go back!”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“First time using Rover and this family was very accommodating. From their communication and assistance with app questions, the experience was hands down exceptional. We were away for 4 nights and they made us feel like Pickles was safe with our family. Could not recommend them any more.”

We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.
Allison took great care of my dog, Quinn. Quinn is a senior dog who can be a little anxious, and Allison kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. She also has a fenced in backyard, which Quinn really enjoyed. Thank you for taking such good care of her!
Laura and Kevin were a great fit for my dog. They spent lots of time outdoors which is her favorite place to be. She's an older dog and not use to staying with people she doesn't know. On top of that, she was having intestinal issues and they still happily took her. They kept us updated with lots of check ins and pictures. We will definitely choose them again!
We couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience for Cody with Ankita. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was being welcomed into a warm and caring home. Cody had an incredible time playing with their dog and absolutely loved spending time with their 5-year-old son. What truly set this experience apart was the way Ankita and her entire family embraced Cody as one of their own. He wasn't just being watched—he was genuinely cared for, included, and loved as a member of the family. Throughout his stay, Ankita kept us updated with thoughtful messages, photos, and wonderful videos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Seeing how happy, comfortable, and engaged Cody was made it clear that he was receiving exceptional care and attention. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a fantastic time. We are incredibly grateful to Ankita and her family for the love and care they showed Cody. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ankita to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and truly exceptional pet sitter!!
Raymond took very good care of our elderly dog and sent us pictures every day. We were happy with Raymond's communication with us. Unfortunately, the old dog got sick and had to be picked up but none of this was Raymond's fault, just an old dog who doesn't like change in his routine.
Jamen was great! He had our Doxie for a week during the holidays, and, I had no doubt that she was in great hands. Jamen had set up the house so that Doxie would be comfortable the whole time. Jamen sent pictures and updates, and, responded within minutes when I reached out to him. On top of that, he was flexible when my dates changed. I would work with Jamen again in a heartbeat!
Chris and Ellen their family and dog Whitley were perfect hosts for our Mia for a long weekend. Their fenced yard is fantastic and the dogs are able to run and play freely. They are very nurturing toward our dog and we were at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl. We would highly recommend their services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ridgewood on Rover is $47.41 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 13,623 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ridgewood. 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 Ridgewood 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 Ridgewood 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 Ridgewood 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 Ridgewood.
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 Ridgewood 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.
