Mary sent me photos which made my day and just reinforced my comfort level of leaving her with someone for week. They have a wonderful, shaded big backyard that is an oasis for dogs. I highly Recommend Mary and Aaron???”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“Rachel is amazing. She is very accommodating and she really took great care of Chloe for 2 weeks. She's a lifesaver. She got along great with George and Chloe fit right in with them. It gave me a huge piece of mind knowing how well she was cared for. I highly recommend Rachel to watch your loved one. She's great”
“Ken is super amazing and took great care of my dog. Was super flexible about pick up time and drop off. He was super accommodating and routinely sent update photos and text messages about my dog during the time he stayed with Ken. Will definitely contact Ken again to board my dog.”
“I had a wonderful experience with this host! They are super nice, kind, and incredibly sweet. I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of GG. Getting photos of her every single day really put my mind at ease while I was away. It's obvious that GG had a fantastic time during her stay. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“Lorrie was absolutely amazing with my two aussies. The boys stayed 5 days and loved every minute of it! We recieved a video everyday as well as an update on how the boys were doing. Both Dogs had an absolutely wonderful time ! I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies ! She is the best :)”
“Another great stay for Boomer with Karen. So grateful for her care. He really enjoyed being part of her little pack and even returned home wearing a jaunty patriotic bandana! 😎”
“Christen is the best! Our dog is a rescue, around 5 years old and definitely has some nerves but is SO comfortable with Christen. She loves her time there every time and Christen is so communicative!”
“Our dog, Millie had a great extended stay with Deena! When meeting Deena, it’s immediately noticeable that she loves dogs and just has a natural, nurturing relationship with them. She was very attentive during Millie’s visit and sent daily pictures, videos and updates. I’m sure Millie loved the added bonus of the attention of Deena’s sons, as well. I definitely recommend her and would have Millie stay with her again!”
“Melissa was fantastic. She had all of the times to host our dog, zoro. She also sent us daily updates on how they were doing and made us feel good zoro was enjoying his time. Overall, we were super happy, and am glad we found Melissa as it is always hard to find a good sitter. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a sitter and we will be rebooking for all of our out of town trips where we can’t bring zoro with us”
“Cesar is great. He accepted my last minute booking as my other sitter canceled my boarding at the boarding time. Cesar keeps me updated about how my dogs are doing, and with the backyard they can play around with other dogs too. My dogs also have lots of walks during the stay. I would rebook him again when im out of town.”
“Patricia is great! The dogs just loved being with her and it’s so nice that she has a backyard for them to run around. She sent us pictures everyday and took great care of them ❤️”
“Butterscotch had such an amazing time with Sam. We got daily updates and felt really assured knowing our baby was having as much of a vacation as we were. Sam was quick to respond to our every need and was extremely accommodating. Butterscotch already got her next visit booked!”
“Thai and his family took care of my dog for 2 weeks. They responded promptly to my inquiry about their availability and answered questions that I had about modifying my booking. All throughout my dog's stay, they sent me pictures of him and even took him on a few park adventures! He was kept cool during NYC's heat wave and I was glad to see get regular updates about what my dog was up to. I came home earlier than expected and was able to arrange an earlier pick-up. Thank you so much for taking good care of my dog and will reach out in the future if I need additional dog sitting.”
“Jacqueline is the get away Hotel for my cat. He spent five nights being pampered, given time in the fresh air, and the center of attention with her entire family over the weekend. He sleeps out in the open which shows he is comfortable and lets the family play with him and rub his belly which he rarely allows. Jacqueline shares numerous videos pictures and text updates. My guy is actually adjusting coming back home; I’m not sure he was ready to leave his vacation! It’s just he and I so now I feel bad he left all of his friends at Jacqueline’s house! She and her family are truly wonderful people and take very good care of my cat. Thank you, so much, for taking care of my little turkey!”
“Rachel took such great care of our dog. Between the daily updates with photos and some home cooked meals it was as if our dog was staying with an extended family member. Needless to say that I’ll definitely be using Rachel again for future stays.”

Lexi and Prashanth took excellent care of Cauchy (senior dog with back issues). He recovered very well in their care. I thank them for their flexibility during pickup and drop off, providing frequent updates and taking great care of Cauchy be it providing medication, taking him outside 4-5 times a day and pampering him etc. I will definitely recommend them to others and book their services in future.
Rick’s place is amazing, so much space for our dogs to enjoy and run around in a beautiful and safe environment. Rick also regularly took our dogs to the water during the super hot days of summer. He’s very caring, experienced and communicative. We will definitely use him again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rumson on Rover is $85.28 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 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 August 2026, there are 12,928 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rumson. 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 Rumson 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 Rumson 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 Rumson 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 Rumson.
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 Rumson 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.
