“Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute). Chandar’s family is so welcoming, warm, and kind and it’s always a pleasure to see them when we drop off or pick up Ruth. They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!”
“Tao and Therese are great! . Jake and Paige were very well taken care of while I was away, and it was clear they were happy and comfortable. The updates and photos put my mind at ease, and I could tell they were having a great time. It’s always a relief to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll definitely be booking again in the future (it is the second time already). Highly recommend!”
“Kristen provided loving care for my 15 yr old Beagle, while also following instructions with his food plan and meds. Additionally, she provided lots of stimulating activities for this little sniffer, including her own little chihuahua, Cashew, and other little boarding doggies. (My little guy gets more stimulation in her apartment than he gets from me!) While Kristen is a great boarder, for my occasional trips away, I am now considering her as a day care provider too. And she is very accommodating and understanding of trip delays, as well. Will be sure to book with Kristen again soon. (Her own little baby boy loves dogs too).”
“Thank you Whitney & Michael! And to your sweet girls! Not only do you take very good care of Baily when we're away, but you treat him like he's part of your family, which makes all the difference!”
“Tanvi took good care our Kylo, she kept us constantly informed with pictures & videos. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends.”
“Shadow looked to be well taken care of during his stay. Tom took him on some long walks, spent plenty of time playing with him and kept us updated with pictures. We would hire Tom again to watch Shadow.”
“Subangi was EXCEPTIONAL with our little Simba. Anyone with a pet knows the stress of finding someone you can truly trust, and we felt so lucky to have found them on Rover. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages about Simba’s eating, sleeping, and how he was doing. She was patient, caring, and made sure Simba ate his meals and got all the attention he needed. Her kids were amazing with him too — giving him so much attention and treating him like their own pet. They are everything we could ask for in a sitter, and we are so thankful for the love and care they gave Simba.”
“Ryan took great care of our dogs. He provided lots of pictures with daily updates on how our dogs were doing. Our dogs loved their stay and were so well taken care of. Thank you Ryan!”
“Jolanta was the perfect sitter for our nervous puppy. She has a beautiful home with a fenced backyard, and our puppy loved getting to play with another dog during the stay. Jolanta sent great photos and videos and has such a warm, knowing way with dogs. It was clear our puppy had a wonderful time, and I recommend her with utmost confidence.”
“Absolutely the best experience having boarded my precious Maysie was Lisa and her family. Not once was I worried and a lot of that was because of the constant communication and pictures sent to us while we were away. Absolutely will rebook with Lisa as I knew my pup was treated as part of the family!”
“Purvi is absolutely amazing! She is attentive, caring, and goes above and beyond to ensure our dog feels loved and safe. We trust her completely, even for last-minute arrangements, and always feel at ease knowing our pet is in her capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care!”
“Noria continues to be the best pet sitter and dog walker we have had. Nala ( my dog) really loves her and I am comfortable going away and leaving my dog in her care knowing that Noria is very trustworthy, caring and reliable!”
“My pup, Candy was very happy with her stay. Joanne was very kind and kept me updated on how everything was going and I felt confident leaving Candy there. I would book again.”
“I am so grateful to have found Samantha! My recently adopted dog, Brownie, has some anxiety around new people and in new places. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Her apartment is so clean and cozy and truly a dog's paradise. Her dog, Cocoa, was so friendly and welcoming to Brownie. We got frequent updates during his stay and Samantha is super quick to respond. She is also very flexible around pick up and drop off. I truly cannot thank her enough for watching our sweet boy and making not only him but also our whole family feel comfortable while we are away by knowing that he is safe and happy!! Brownie didn't want to come home with me when I went to pick up because he was too busy playing with all the fun toys! He will be back soon! Thank you again, Samantha.”
“We had such a great experience leaving Bruno in Raj’s care for the night! From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“My anxious pup with a complicated medication routine was well cared for. He settled in quickly and his routine was followed as requested. Jaimie kept in good communication throughout his stay. Will happily book again!”
“Craig took exceptional care of our dog for an overnight stay. He was incredibly communicative and flexible, and instilled confidence that he was on top of everything and our pup was in good hands. There were also plenty of walks and playtime to keep him busy. Highly recommend using Craig if you’re down the shore.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skillman
Chandar was absolutely fantastic. This was our first experience leaving our dog, and Chandar did everything we asked plus more. He gave us updates twice a day and photos of our dog throughout the day. From the photos and the feedback from Chandar, you know that your dog feels at home, calm and cared for. Our dog ate, slept well and got walked twice a day. Chandar went above and beyond in every element possible. Thanks Chandar we look forward to traveling again in the future with a stay again with you.
Chandar and his family are like a second home and family to Ruth. They truly love dogs and care for Ruth as if she’s their own (she’s already had 3 stays with them). And Ruth loves them, too!! They are so good to her and spoil her with belly rubs and miles-long sunrise and sunset walks. Chandar sends professional grade photos of Ruth with beautiful, artistic, and often charming backdrops (e.g., a hot air balloon, Princeton campus, dog zodiac statute).

They have also been incredibly accommodating, welcoming Ruth on short notice or letting her stay late. So happy that we met them!
I had a wonderful experience with this pet boarding service by Chandrasekar. The boarding process was very smooth from start to finish, and the caregiver took the time to understand all the instructions regarding my pet’s food, routine, and special care needs. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. What impressed me the most was how relaxed and comfortable my pet seemed. Usually, my pet takes some time to adjust to new environments, but this time it was clear that they felt safe, cared for, and well looked after. I received updates and could tell my pet was getting plenty of attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend this boarding service to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their pet, and I will definitely use them again in the future
Tao's home is beautiful and accommodating to pets. We met his wife and instantly realized this family truly loves to care for dogs. Her questions were catered to my dog's needs. She instantly connected with "Halo" and I just knew Halo would be very well cared for. After his stay, Halo returned happy and content. We will absolutely return again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Skillman on Rover is $74 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,921 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Skillman. 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.
94% of Skillman 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 Skillman 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 Skillman 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 Skillman.
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 Skillman 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.
