“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“This was Finn's first time staying with Roxanne and he came home happy and tired! I appreciated Roxanne keeping me posted on how he was doing and taking such good care of my furry baby!”
“My lil’ Enastasia tends to be quite shy & timid with others, so I don’t think I can leave a better review than to say the second I pulled up in front of Brineydi’s house for their second visit, Enastasia jumped up the (closed) window, wagging her tail, and crying in excitement. She couldn’t wait to come back to what’s clearly a safe, loving & fun environment!”
“5 stars all the way. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t not be happier with the service and care we received. Our little Gunner has terrible anxiety and does not like to be alone ever since his sister passed away last year. Aivy took such good care of our Gunner. She was patient and kind and made sure she communicated with us on how Gunner was doing. We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again. Thank you for your patience with our old man.”
“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog at her place. She followed instructions, kept me updated, and even made my dog rice to encourage her to eat. Her dog was very friendly with my nervous greyhound. They even played together in Cynthia’s back patio.”
“Chazz is easily the best dog sitter I’ve found in the city! I have two dogs who can be a handful, one is very big and strong, and the other is highly leash reactive. Within seconds of meeting Chazz, they both loved him. He has such a natural way with dogs and immediately made them feel comfortable and at ease. I used to board my dogs at a facility, but I never really knew what kind of care and attention they were getting. Finding Chazz through Rover has been a game changer. He sent multiple photos each day, along with thoughtful updates that made it clear my dogs were happy and well cared for. They stayed with him for four days, and I genuinely didn’t worry once. Having that kind of peace of mind means so much. Chazz is kind, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I’m so glad we found him and will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“We hate to leave Gracie but we felt secure that she was in good hands with Russell! Russell sent us updates daily with pictures and took great care of Gracie!! Gracie enjoyed the big yard and playing with a new dog friend! We are very grateful to Russell for taking such good care of Gracie while we were away!!”
“Alyssa and Marcus are the absolute best! Sam always has a wonderful time with them and Zara! They are his second family and the excitement he has when we pull up to their home is unbelievable. It warms my heart every time.”
“Annette and Martin did a great job with my Bull Terrier. They have a yard so she could run around. They gave her medication daily. And they took good care of her. Also, they posted pics and videos so we could see her. When it was time to pick her up, she seemed attached to them. I recommend Annette and her husband. They did a great job.”
“Mina was very good with everything no one else was available for my needs but she was very reliable and kept me updated I will definitely recommend her and visit again she gets 5stars from me”
“Lauren was a great sitter for our special needs dogs! He requires extra steps to his care and extra attention because of a disability and she was more than willing to learn what he needs! She provided thorough updates multiple times throughout the day and went out of her way to make him comfortable in her place. I so appreciate the attention and love she provided my dog!”
“Makeba was incredible! Our puppy was with her for 5 days and we were sent pic and video updates and he was so very well taken care of! It was like a doggy play date weekend with her pup Remy who is so good with our rambunctious puppy! Will definitely book with Makeba again”

“tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!”
“Alexis was fantastic! She took great care of my 3 y/o dog Woods while I was away a few days. I really appreciated all the pictures and cute/silly updates without even having to ask. It made me feel at ease to know someone was loving on my dog and handling him with great care while I was away! I will definitely be booking again!”

Kelsey and Conor were so amazing!!! They are so attentive and responsive and were able to cater to Walter’s dietary and medication needs. Walter seemed like he had a blast playing with their dogs and all their toys, he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend them!
I am very happy that my husband and I decided to leave our baby Thor with Danielle. We could tell by the numerous pictures she sent us, that Thor was well taken care of, and Really enjoyed being there. Especially since he found a new best bud in Danielle's dog. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking to board their dog.
I could tell from the photos and when I picked Mara up that she’d had a great time with Erin. Furthermore, Erin and Joe took note of various behavioral questions I had and gave helpful tips and feedback afterwards. I feel like I can rest assured that Mara is in great care when she is there.
I couldn't be happier with the care Yajaira provided for my dog, Baxter. He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It's such a relief to know you can travel without worrying about your pet. I highly recommend Yajaira and would gladly trust her with Baxter again.
Madi took incredible care of our best girl Lilo while my husband and I were getting married in Mexico!! it was so reassuring that we received pictures everyday of her having a ball with Madi. she has a giant, fully enclosed yard for your pup to run around in which was also a huge plus! we will certainly be booking with Madi again for our next trip!! highly recommend 💙
Very satisfied with Melissa! She was very responsive and patient with my dog. She has a really nice big yard, which I loved! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and even kept my dog an extra day due to a change in my schedule. I’m very grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
David and Phyllis were wonderful in accommodating our unique situation and went above and beyond to make sure Cassie felt comfortable in their home. Communication was excellent—not only with us but also with our friend who had been caring for Cassie during the month. They kept us well informed and made sure we received updates on how Cassie was doing, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and the loving care they gave Cassie.
Lindsey is truly the best when it comes to taking care of my Guinness! I can’t thank her enough for being able to accommodate my last minute schedule updates and additional time requests. I know he is getting the attention and exercise he deserves. I would highly recommend for any of your short or long term services.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Runnemede is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $52 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Runnemede can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Runnemede 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 Runnemede.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Runnemede. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Runnemede 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
