“Monica took excellent care of Lucy and was very kind about sending us fun pictures of Lucy to let us know what Lucy was doing each day and to see how contented and happy she was. We highly recommend Monica!!”
“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!”
“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“Kate and Juan are fantastic petsitters. They treat my dog, Hodoo better than me, and they walk my dog more than me. I felt really at ease as I received photos every day, every time. I was even worried that my dog wouldn't want to come back home. Thank you very much, Kate & Juan. Now, because of Kate and Juan, I think I can go on a business trip or a vacation with confidence.”
“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!”
“Moonyoung and Sunhyung were fantastic hosts for my dog, Kash, while I was away. They were incredibly flexible with pickup and dropoff times and responded quickly to my initial inquiries about booking. Their communication was exceptional, and they sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day, keeping me updated on Kash’s wellbeing. I could tell how happy she was to be there as she received consistent attention and playtime which is essential for her energetic nature. If you’re looking for reliable, consistent, and caring sitters, I highly recommend contacting Moonyoung and Sunhyung! I’ll definitely be using them for all my future sitting needs”
“Special thanks to Ken & Irene for giving us piece of mind and taking care of our dog, Twix, when we were on vacay. Twix was in good company and he was well taken care of. We especially enjoyed the texts and pics. We would definitely recommend Ken & Irene.”
“Mia took such great care of our dog. She was responsive leading up to it, and sent updates throughout his stay so we knew he was having a great time with her! We were very happy and will be sure to use Mia again, and highly recommend her!”
“I cannot recommend Andrea enough! She took amazing care of my dog, treating him like he was her own. From the daily updates to the adorable pictures she shared, I always felt reassured that my furry friend was in the best hands. Andrea's attention to detail, kindness, and clear love for animals truly stood out. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and even better behaved! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Andrea, for being such a wonderful Rover 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!!”
“Julia is wonderful !!! She boarded my two dogs for a week. She kept me notified with texts and pics on how they were doing. She is very kind and attentive My dogs were very happy I certainly will be having Julia take care of them again!!”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“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!”
“Katherine has been so amazing with my girl Melly the last couple of stays. I had to change Melly’s stay from daycare to boarding due to weather and Katherine was so accommodating. My pup usually isn’t fond of new people but she truly loves Katherine. Strongly recommend!”
“Karla was incredible!!! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a dog sitter so we were super nervous but Karla was so friendly and reassured us constantly. She sent us tons of photos and kept us up to date on how he was doing. Our puppy is a little shy but he took to Karla super fast when they first met! He had tons of play time and made so many friends! He was so happy running around in the yard and we could tell he was having a wonderful time! Thank you so much Karla for making this such a great and positive experience for us :) we will be booking with you when we go traveling again for sure :) many many thanks !!!”

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!

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 14,065 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.
