“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“I wanted to say thank you to Elizabeth and her family for taking such good care of 9. Initially, it was difficult to find someone that our family felt comfortable with in caring for our dog. Once we met Elizabeth, we knew it would be a GREAT fit. Thank you again, and you don't know how much we truly appreciate your level of care.”
“Cheyenne is the best! She keeps us updated daily with photos and is very attentive to special needs especially for our older dog Jenny. This was our biggest concern, but we found out quickly that that was not an issue at all. We have great trust and comfort in her caregiving. You won’t be disappointed!”
“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.”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“Maureen and her family were amazing! Mocha was well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures, and she was so responsive to anything we'd needed! When I arrived to pick Mocha up, he jumped on me to say hi, and then immediately sprinted to the back of the house (not the front door) cause he'd had such a good time there!”
“Jocelyn was a wonderful and accommodating dog sitter for Beezy. She sent regular updates including almost daily videos of her clearly spoiling him :) and general info on his habits and well-being. Beezy is a delicate old boy, so it was nice to know he was under the care of someone attentive and reactive; she made sure to respect his dietary restrictions, too. Thanks so much, Jocelyn! I'm sure you'll be seeing Beezy again soon :)”
“Thank you Katherine for looking after my little lady Mel Mel. I knew she would be in good hands. Thank you for sending me pictures and videos also. I greatly appreciate it very much !”
“Carol was absolutely awesome! She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and reassured us that our pups were in good hands. She was flexible which we needed as we were hiring her ahead of having our baby who ended up coming early and she was gracious enough to move up our days. When she had questions she would reach out which we appreciated as our pups have skin issues and very sensitive stomachs. Carol and her family love pets and it is so evident by how happy our pups were at pick up and we will 100% be leaving our pups with her again. When we were driving off our pups were crying because they didn't want to leave. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”
“Mickey was great! His entire household was very welcoming and he understood our senior dog’s needs. He was great at keeping us up to date with pictures and texts and made sure Duke was comfortable. Highly recommend!!”
“Lee K was great with my dog Bodi. Knowing that she was familiar with looking after senior dogs and giving medication made me feel comfortable using her pet sitting services. She took great care of Bodi, helping him as needed & provided me with many photos & videos so that I could see how he was doing while he was staying at her home. Upon picking him up I could tell he had a relaxing stay and was comfortable within her home and around her other dogs. We are looking forward to using Lee K again in the future!”
“Stephanie was an amazing Dogsitter. She kept in close contact and sent lots of pics which helped us feel comfortable and confident that Rosie was being loved and well cared for. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kate & Juan were absolutely wonderful. They loved our dog and gave her more attention then I think she's ever received. She's an extremely energetic 8 month old puppy. I know how much work it is to tire her out and they succeeded. They kept in constant contact with us as we were on our honeymoon in Mexico. We will definitely be bringing Crystal over again (even for a visit) if they will have us. This was such a weight off our shoulders being able to leave our most vulnerable family member with people who we knew would love and cherish her. I am forever grateful.”
“Shamel is my dogs new friend. He was very pleasant and keeps a very clean home. His wife is also very nice. I would 100 percent use him again. My dog came home happy and healthy”
“Yesenia took excellent care of my five-year-old French Bulldog, Lewis. I’d give 6 stars if I could. I’m thoroughly satisfied with her service and highly recommend her for any pet care needs you may have.”
“Nina was fantastic with taking care of Carl. She constantly updated us with how he's playing with his new friends. Carl always seemed like he was having a great time. When we went to pick him up, it almost seemed like he was sad to come home with us as he was enjoying and loving it at Nina's house. We would definitely bring Carl back to Nina's place in the future. Highly recommend this wonderful household. A dog haven.”

I highly recommend Lee k. to watch over your pets. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided for my dog and cat. She gave Hunter plenty of outside time and walks and provided many photo updates to see what a good time he was having! She followed the schedule and complex feeding instructions for my cat It was much appreciated. Lee k truly loves animals and gives them lots of love and attention. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Will use her again.
Matthew and Christianna are WONDERFUL sitters. They are a caring, kind and empathetic couple who truly love pets. Matthew and Christianna treated our 2 1/2 year old malshi, Chloe, as their own. During our vacation, we received many pics of Chloe relaxed and happy in their home. They made sure that Chloe ate properly, had enough exercise and was entertained by their two little ones who were very kind to her. We HIGHLY recommend Matthew and Christianna as sitters. We will definitely ask them to care for Chloe when we are away and will feel relaxed and appreciative in the knowledge that she is loved and cared for!
Hope was an amazing dog sitter for my Shiba Inu. Her space is clean, dog friendly both inside the house and outside with a fenced backyard, plus she is very friendly and loving towards the animals. She checked in multiple times per day with pictures and progress reports on eating/activity/and using the bathroom when hosting my pet. Rest assured that your pet will be in great hands with Hope. Thank you.
Ann was amazing with my dog, Mocha, during an overnight stay! She took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. Her communication was outstanding — I received updates and knew Mocha was in great hands the whole time. It’s clear Ann truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
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!
Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in River Vale on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of August 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 14,107 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Vale. About 88% of River Vale 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.
