“Tanvi and her husband are lovely people. Callie had a wonderful time as was evident in the lovely photos Tanvi was SO considerate in sending us. We WILL be having Callie stay with Tanvi again.”
“I have a 12 yr cockapoo who requires daily medication. Noria has been our overnight sitter since April 2024. She only takes one dog in addition to her own sweet Milo. Noria is incredibly kind, smart, professional, loves dogs and has a gentle/loving way in interacting with my Kobe. She has been truly a blessing to find! My family and I are assured that when we leave Kobe for an overnight with Noria that he is being cared for as if he is part of her family. Kobe can be an anxious dog and slow to warm up to people. She has a patient and playful disposition. From the first time he met her he was happy, calm and it was evident that he felt secure in her care. The medication and feeding instructions have always been followed and understood. We appreciate the photos she sends and the updates as to how he is doing. Noria is a genuine individual who has been a complete joy for our family to work with. We are so happy that she has been caring for Kobe. When we go away we know he looks forward to his time with Noria and Milo!”
“Whitney and family are kind, communicative, and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving Baily with them and appreciated that Whitney sent us updates and photos throughout Baily's 2-week stay! Considering we booked this stay only days before leaving on our trip (after another Rover sitter cancelled last minute!), we felt extremely lucky that Baily ended up here, where he was loved and well-looked after in our absence! I highly recommend Whitney & Michael.”
“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!”
“Camila and Omar were fantastic with my Blue. They sent so many pictures it made us feel at ease. Blue seemed to have a good time and made some new friends. Will definitely use them in the future.”
“I appreciate Samantha’s diligence in dealing with our last minute dilemmas. Spencer seemed to have had a lovely visit with her & Coco. He appeared happy & at ease in the pics she shared. I would certainly recommend her as a sitter of the highest quality…”
“I’m so thankful I found Kristen! She is such a kind and caring person and instantly my pup took to her without hesitation! She answered any questions I had and gave reassurance. We were gone for a few days and missing our dog so receiving photos and seeing her happy was a great feeling/experience! Highly recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! It is clear how much Joanne truly cares for animals. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pups—and that peace of mind is priceless! She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loving toward animals.”
“Jenny P. Is the absolute best if you need someone to watch your precious pet. She treated our little one as if she was her owner. Photos and comments were sent to ensure our little one was having a good time. I thought our dog might not want to leave Jenny! If you are looking for the best person to stay with your dog, Jenny is the one!”
“Maureen and her family are naturals! They definitely had a way with dogs. Our puppy Kyoto immediately took to them and their lovely and spacious home. Maureen sent many updates and videos to show that Kyoto was being cared for and was happy in his new environment. Maureen even enabled him to socialize with another puppy successfully. I am so grateful to have found a safe and happy home away from home for Kyoto. Thank you, Maureen and family! Until next time!”
“Tao has a calm confidence that puts both people and pets at ease. During our dog’s 9-night stay, Tao provided us with daily photo and video updates. And lucky dog, she got to swim in the pool! Thank you, Tao!”
“We have used Amy several times, she replies quickly and has been very pleasant and flexible to work with when dates had to be changed. She took great care of Shadow and sent photos. Shadow is happy to go back to Amy and have fun playing at with her pups.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Thana & Subangi. We left our golden retriever, Mango, with them for almost 10 days, and from start to finish we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and responsible hands. They took excellent care of Mango and kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which truly meant a lot to us while we were away. It was clear from the updates that Mango was happy, comfortable, and being treated like part of their family. Toward the end of his stay, Mango’s food ran out, and they were kind enough to provide their own dog food without hesitation — a small gesture that really shows how thoughtful and caring they are. We couldn’t be happier with the level of care, communication, and kindness they showed our dog. We would 100% trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Mango!”
“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.”
“Jaimie was WONDERFUL!! She gave regular updates and sent amazing pictures daily of Noodle. I was able to really enjoy my vacation knowing Noodle was being so well cared for! I highly recommend!!!”
“Purvi is an incredibly caring and kind person who treated our dog like family. It’s clear that Candy loves her—her warmth and compassion shine through in everything she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such loving hands.”
“Gerry is the best. We just left our puppy with her for his first overnight stay and he was received with lots of love and attention. Would definitely recommend Gerry to others.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skillman
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Skillman on Rover is $76.59 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 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 July 2026, there are 1,972 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.
93% 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.
