“Christina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while watching Kyrie! She sent tons of pictures, kept us updated throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. We trusted her right away, and she really came through for us when our flights were delayed and we needed a last-minute extension. Communication was clear, quick, and super helpful. We’d ask her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“We left our dog for 3 days. We had constant updates from Aeli, pictures and how he was doing. We was absolutely 💯 perfect satisfied how this stay was handled. Definitely will use her again.”
“Lauryn is amazing. I had an emergency out of town and had to book her last minute. Not only was she welcoming to my two pooches, she treated them like her own. I wasn't sure of my return date and had to keep extended her services. She was understanding and gracious, also putting other fears at ease with staying well communicated and sending me updates with pics of my dogs. She truly understands they are like family. I highly recommend her!”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“Andrew is an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for services for their pet(s). I have two senior dogs and was quite anxious boarding them at a kennel so I looked for someone on Rover who could possibly house my dogs for an extended stay while I was away. I came across Andrew’s profile, and met up with him prior to my trip, so the dogs could get an introduction. I felt immediately at ease with Andrew. He is true to his profile, truly cares about the animals under his care, and goes above and beyond expectations. Andrew regularly provided updates, pictures, and videos, which was greatly appreciated. He also genuinely cares about the animals under his care and will ask questions so he can provide the best service possible. Also, he is very flexible with his schedule. I highly recommend Andrew. He exceeded my expectations and truly treated my dogs as if they were his own. He is compassionate and understanding which was truly appreciated with my two senior dogs. This was my first time using Rover and I will certainly book with Andrew again if the opportunity arises.”
“We left our maltipoo with Moonyoung and Sunhyung for the longest we have ever left her. We were admittedly very nervous at first, but were immediately put at ease. Our dog was not doing so well with the adjustment the first few days and was having some GI problems, but they were so patient, kind, and caring with her and nursed her back to health while communicating with us the whole time. I could tell our pup was so comfortable and happy with them once she felt better- and it made my time away so much more enjoyable and relaxed. Don’t hesitate to book - they are such great and kind people!”
“Camila was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated with photos and videos and took such great care of Winnie. Her dog Milo was also amazing—he and Winnie got along so well and played together perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again—couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Evelien was a phenomenal dog sitter. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, sent updates, and gave our pup a beautiful home away from home. Her 3 dogs are just as friendly and welcoming as she is.”
“Elizabeth & Oleg took wonderful care of May over Memorial Day weekend! They were fantastic with her and kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear May was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a very happy pup! We would absolutely trust Elizabeth & Oleg to watch May again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable dog sitters.”
“Rocío was great! Sent us lots of pics and kept us updated. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and had a lot of time to play. When we picked them up it looked like they were bathed ! We will be back!”
“My dog Simon had a wonderful time at Stephanie's home. We took a 7-day getaway, so we were nervous about how he would do. Stephanie kept us updated daily, which eased our worries, and she sent many pictures. Simon didn't miss love or hugs and felt at home. He also made friends with her dog. Thank you for caring for our Simon! 🤗”
“Carol is an amazing pet sitter! Her care was exceptional, and she made communication so easy with adorable photo updates. My dog clearly had a wonderful time with her. She's professional, reliable, and truly warm-hearted. Highly recommend!”
“They were amazing!! I was receiving numerous pictures throughout the day with little updates. They were very super responsive. It was my first time using Rover and they made it an amazing experience”
“Juan and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. He was quick to respond to our messages and provided us with updates as to how she was doing. We would gladly use his services again in the future.”
“Cathy is wonderful! Rockie has spent one nighters with Cathy but we left her for three days this time around. As always, Cathy was kind, responsive and sent us updates and pictures of Rockie. We finally feel like we can go on longer trips now that Rockie can stay with Cathy. Rockie is comfortable and well cared for there. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Our Shih Tzu Max was in great hands with Kun for over a week while my family was traveling. Max was well taken care of, treated like a member of the family, and Kun was very accommodating. We received frequent photos, videos, and updates, which my kids loved. I would definitely hire Kun again the next time we go away!”
“I wanted to share how awesome Yesenia is! She's such a sweet person and her home is always clean and tidy. Plus, her back yard is amazing - my dog absolutely loves it! Whenever I have any questions or need to make a last minute drop off, Yesenia is super quick to respond and always saves the day. I highly recommend her. She's the best!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Edge
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and Mary made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident that Benji was in great hands. Her home is very clean, and she kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Benji had a wonderful time with her. I would absolutely trust Mary with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Our dog had a great time staying with them! He had a hard time adjusting at first and marked his territory, but they were incredibly patient and understanding. Before long, he settled in and became much more comfortable. They were the most responsive and communicative sitters throughout his stay. They kept us updated, flagged any concerns calmly without causing unnecessary stress during our wedding weekend, and took amazing care of Chase—even through the fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend. We're so grateful for the love and patience they showed him, and we'll definitely be booking with them again soon!
There is no one I trust more with my little one. Vinny makes sure that Luna is happy and well-loved. She was treated like family, and you could tell she was so at home when I got the pics of her watching TV and getting nighttime cuddles. Knowing that Luna was in great hands made our holiday that much more enjoyable. We will definitely book again
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 for Dog Boarding in River Edge on Rover is $56.71 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 13,878 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across River Edge. 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 River Edge 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 River Edge 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 River Edge 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 River Edge.
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 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 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.
