“Bagel had SUCH A WONDERFUL time at Monica’s!! She took great care of our frenchie, he played with Monica’s frenchie and was so happy - big smiles on every photo Monica sent us! She also took Bagel to dog park on Saturday where all dogs had a blast! Monica gave many kisses and snuggles to Bagel, and Bagel was so sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Would definitely come back again, highly recommended!! Thank you Monica.”
“Jadea was amazing with our 2 year old puppy for the night! He usually comes back to us slightly annoyed but this time he was just happy!! She sent us updates, photos and even a video!”
“This was our first time using this app and we had an amazing experience with Maureen. She was the perfect caretaker for our Puma. She gave us perfect peace of mind during our trip that Puma was well taken care of.”
“We just boarded our dog Sophia with Andrea and her husband for the first time, and wow, we're so happy we did! Sophia can be really shy, but they made her feel right at home. They kept us in the loop with loads of cute photos and videos, which totally put our minds at ease. It was clear they genuinely cared for Sophia and paid attention to all the little things that matter. Huge thanks to them for being amazing! We’re definitely going to book with them again.”
“Birdie was happy and well taken care of by Jocelyn and her pups. Very communicative with pictures and videos of how she was doing during her stay and fast responses to questions. Will definitely bring Birdie 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! 🤗”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Dogs have a special place in my heart. My friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs in the past when in need. I treat any dog as if they are mine. I have a two year old Maltese named Henry. He loves playing with other dogs! Your dog will be very happy staying with us! We have a fenced in yard and I work from home so I will be able to take them out for frequent potty breaks and play time. I work from home, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for day care and boarding weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your pet in good company. Dogs will never be unattended or left alone. I am able to take your dog on a walk, if allowed. Because Henry is afraid of big dogs, I can only dog sit small dogs.
“Vinny was the absolute best sitter I could have gotten for my dog Ellie. She was so happy there, and even missed him when we got home. Vinny took great care of her. We will absolutely be using Vinny exclusively for our dog boarding needs in the future, without a doubt.”
“Moonyoung and Sunhuyung were fantastic! They were very responsive and I was able to set up a meet and greet with them before booking. Communication was great and I received daily updates from them with lots of pictures. Brody was comfortable with them right away and adjusted to his normal routine from the get go. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.”
“Wonderful family! I got pictures every day of my little fur baby Bogart having a great time and being loved. Bogart has always slept in a human bed and he wants to cuddle - Irene and Ken made sure he was well loved. It is a pleasure to have met them all!”
“We were SO LUCKY to find Lauren to dog-sit our precious Rosie (a border collie/ lab mix) while we went to Maui! Lauren helped to manage OUR stress at having to leave Rosie by sending us pictures and little notes of Rosie regularly. When we picked Rosie up, it was obvious how well cared for Rosie was, she was clean, happy, and in great shape. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Lauren, for taking Rosie into your home and family, and taking such good care of her!”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“I was so anxious about leaving Harley with a stranger for the first time, but Tammy provided updates and photos of Harley every day I was gone. Harley had a great time and I will definitely leave her with Tammy again.”
“At Meet & Greet, Carol (& family) were warm and showed interest in providing great care by asking relevant questions about my pup. Her home was ideal as she had no other dogs and had older kids. She sent me updates with photos (always a great thing), and we picked up a happy dog. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“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!!”
“Sridevi is a great host for my kitten, Mochi! He stayed with them over the holidays. She made him feel at home with lots of care and toys and activities. She provided frequent videos and photos and kept me updated. She also provided video call. Highly recommended!”

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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in River Vale on Rover is $77.7 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 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.
