“Steven is a great dog-sitter! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures to keep me posted on how Dusty is doing throughout the day. Dusty comes home happy and tired from playing with Steven's dogs. We are grateful to have found him!”
“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!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Tanvi and her family gave Chestnut so much love. Their Shi-Tzu Happy was a great companion to him and they became best friends! Tanvi sent regular updates with photos and videos every day and put us at ease. This was our first boarding experience for a whole week, and we would not hesitate to keep him there again. Thank you for being such a caring and good rover sitter for Chestnut!”
“Noria was fantastic with my dog Nala. She boarded her in her home and made sure Nala had lots of fun and was well cared for. Norias love for animals shows through in all she does while caring for my puppy. Noria is very enthusiastic, warm and caring. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Excellent experience boarding with Whitney and Michael. Great communication making it very comfortable. Flight was delayed multiple times coming back to NJ and was over an hour after the pick up time frame before I made it to their house to pick up Ivy, but very understanding and accommodating. Will definitely be my first choice whenever I have to travel.”
“Tao took great care of our pups! He was great about keeping us updated daily with photos and videos. Our pups had a fun and relaxing stay, and it looked like they got along great with Tao's dog.”
“Elliot had a wonderful stay with Thana and Subangi who were very good hosts. We really appreciated the frequent photos being sent and it is clear that they are very much dog lovers. Would definitely recommend them.”
“Samantha was great. Very attentive to our dog and his needs and provided regular updates. Her dog cocoa was also very sweet. Would recommend to anyone in the area”
“This was my first time ever leaving my 7 month old puppy so I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Joanne put my mind at ease from the beginning and was WONDERFUL! Willow was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I even received daily updates with pictures which I looked forward to receiving. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. THANK YOU Joanne for taking such good care of my Willow!”
“Kristen did a fabulous job, she is a wonderful dog sitter. My dog had a great vacation in her place. She took a fantastic care of him. She regularly updated me with pictures and videos. She kept me posted frequently and that helped a lot. Thank you so much Kristen and I would love to be a repeat customer for my pet and greatly recommend her. Thanks again.”
“Tom was great! He’s very friendly and worked well with our dog Lyla! He gave great feedback on her stay so we weren’t worried about our dog at all! I’d highly recommend Tom!”
“Emma, absolutely spoiled Kenzo! He had a blast with her, she took care of every need of our demanding cat. Kept us updated throughout and sent us loads of photos. Can’t thank her enough for the amazing hospitality!”
“We left our 2 year old Belgian with Jaimie for 5 days, and she took terrific care of our puppy. She sent us daily updates and pictures, sometimes more often. She catered to his fussy diet without a problem. He slept in bed with her, followed her around the house, and frolicked indoors and outdoors with her own dog. When we came to pick him up, he was beyond excited to see us, but kept on going back to her as well. For someone who can’t actually verbalize, that’s a pretty strong statement. We will certainly use Jaimie for “babysitting” again.”
“Davina and her family were so good to Arnie I was afraid he may not come home! Very proactive and responsive communication and pictures so you know your fur baby is happy! She even made homemade doggy treats and personalized each dog’s initial! Beyond exemplary!”
“Renee was an amazing dog sitter. We were very nervous about dropping our dog off for someone strange to watch ber. Mopsy was treated as a person and not a dog. Renee left wonderful detail messages and sent pictures. We were comforted that our Mopsy was being loved. I highly recommend Renee!!!”
“pervy was excellent! I could tell the minute I got to her home that she was going to take wonderful care of my dog Tucker, and she did. I highly recommend her services. Her home was a comfortable and spacious place, and she exerted confidence and loved towards my pet.”
About: I love the company of dogs. I'm incredibly comfortable around them. I don't have my own, but I have 2 cats who I cherish and I imagine I would cherish your furbabe(s) just as much for the time I would have them. I have 2 cats! Feeding everyday, scooping litter every other day, replacing water fountain every 2-3 days, and loving them every minute I can between work and on the weekends. I like to offer them as much attention as possible in the form of playing and petting. I am also keen on them eating and drinking properly and making sure their pooping/peeing is regular.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Skillman is $60

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.
