“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Kun and his wife were simply amazing. He takes photos and videos of your lovely pet to keep you worry-free. It seems like my dog, Molly, prefers Kun's house over his own! I definitely recommend Kun for boarding. Thank you again!”
“I booked with Carol for boarding my dog. She was fantastic! She took very good care of my dog and adhered to feedings, walks, play time, and all the fun things my dog loves to do. She communicated well with me and provided pictures and updates each day. I can tell my dog enjoyed his time with her. If I need to board my dog again, I will definitely be booking with Carol again.”

About: Since I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive constant love, attention, and companionship! I’ve loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and growing up with them taught me how to give every pup the best care possible. I treat every pup like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pet. I’m home for most of the day, so your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. 🐾 My home is a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I always supervise pets closely and make sure they have a safe space to relax, play, and sleep. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I also have my own friendly dog, Evee, who is used to being around other dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and carefully and make sure they are comfortable with each other. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog. 🐾❤️
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Another great stay with Cathy! When my pup sees the house she gets excited walking up to the door! We get daily pics and daily reports of how she’s doing. We couldn’t be happier knowing our pup is doing so well. Cathy comes with my highest recommendation!!”
“Chialing was friendly, communicative, and professional. She had our timid dog high fives within the hour. It was comforting knowing our dog was in good hands with the regular walls, a clean home, and of course a great host. Thank you so much!”
“Essence is the best! I know my dogs are in great hands with her. She is always flexible with us, she sends us updates without us having to ask, my dogs are always happy when they leave her place. She is the best and I am so grateful for her. Xoxo thank you Essence.”
“Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding! I had flight delays that resulted in me needing a later pick up time at the last minute and she was super accommodating. My dog Jax loves her and Cashew. 10/10 recommend Catherine and I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”

We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.”

“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Gargi & Sourav have been absolutely amazing. One of our furry kids was a bit nervous as I was dropping them off, so we were a bit nervous for them, but they have completely put out worries aside. The provided frequent daily updates on how our dogs were doing, brining up any questions or concerns along the way. Our dogs also really got along with their pets as well which made us happy that our dogs are also making friends. The dog park being right next to their apartment building is also a massive plus that helps with both social and energy levels of our dogs. They had a great stay and we as the owners had a relaxing worry free time. Would definitely book them again.”
“Sarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!”

We had a great experience with her! She was very responsive and sent us photos of my dog every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog seemed to have a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated that she took care of his medications as well. We’re very happy with the care she provided and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful experience! They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. The whole family is so loving and caring, and it’s clear how much they genuinely love dogs. They even prepared extra blankets for Pepper because they were worried he might get cold. They were so thoughtful and attentive to every little detail. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave Pepper and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Kevin was great!! I was definitely nervous about leaving Willow with someone new, but we met up at the dog park beforehand so (we) and our dogs could meet, and make sure they got along. They did, thankfully!! He was great with communication which made me feel better leaving her. She was happy when I picked her up and everything seemed to go well. I’d definitely book with Kevin and Bubbles again!
Catherine is the absolute best! She is super communicative, easy to reach, and I’ve had seamless booking experiences with her. She is also super understanding!

Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in River Edge is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $83 per night.

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 River Edge 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 River Edge home-away-from-home, 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 River Edge.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 River Edge 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 , 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 .
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.
