“I cannot say enough good things about Radwa O. and her wonderful family! She boarded my pup Stormi for 6 days, and from the moment I dropped her off, I had zero worries. Radwa went above and beyond to make sure Stormi felt loved, included, and completely at home. The updates she sent were thoughtful and showed just how much Stormi was being cared for like one of their own. A huge thank you to her sweet pups Diesel and Lyla for putting up with my little fireball. Stormi can be a lot, but they welcomed her with such patience and playfulness. And to her boys, thank you for letting Stormi crash your sleepover! It meant the world to know she was surrounded by such kindness and fun. Radwa and her family are truly lovely people and amazing sitters. Stormi came home happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with love. I would absolutely trust them again in a heartbeat! — Chanell G.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. To me, they’re not just pets, but beloved family members and lifelong friends. I’ve always had a special love for small, fluffy dogs and enjoy keeping them looking their best. This passion led me to become a professionally trained dog groomer. My training and hands-on experience have helped me understand the unique needs of dogs of different breeds and ages. I share my home with my sweet, friendly 11-year-old Maltese, who loves companionship. We’d love to welcome a gentle, friendly little guest into our home! I only board one small guest dog at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and personalized care. From daily routines and playtime to grooming and special care needs, I’ll treat your dog like my own family, providing a safe, peaceful, and loving home while you’re away. Basic bathing is available for an additional $35 during boarding. Full grooming services, including haircuts and styling, are available upon request at a separate rate. I work part-time as a professional dog groomer, and my workplace is very close to home. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. I enjoy spending time at home with my Maltese, and I only board one small dog at a time to ensure each guest receives personalized attention, companionship, playtime, and loving care. My home is located in a beautiful, quiet residential community with an open yard and plenty of green spaces for daily walks. There’s also a dog park and scenic walking trails nearby, perfect for enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice. Dogs are always kept safely leashed during outdoor walks. I only welcome one small dog at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention in a peaceful, clean, and comfortable home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every guest feels safe, relaxed, and loved throughout their stay. I only accept fully house-trained dogs.

About: I grew up taking care of my childhood dog, and then I extended that experience in the Rutgers University Companion Animal Club assisting in the public access training of future service dogs. I also spent a year as a kennel technician in Old Bridge, NJ taking care of puppies & preparing them for their forever homes. I am very flexible, I usually work in New Brunswick Monday-Friday from 9-4:30pm, but I can do my work from home if needed which helps a lot. I will discuss individual preferences with clients to meet their desires. I live very close to a big park and am able to take walks whenever.

She maintained a good routine with Honey. We had requested her to brush Honey because of a recent teeth surgery. Karina was more than willing to accommodate our request. We are very happy with her over all care for Honey and would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a warm, supportive home and family for their pets.”

Nicolas was a fantastic cat sitter. It was my first booking with him, and I am already looking forward to future opportunities to work with him. My situation required extra care because my senior cat has a recent diabetes diagnosis and was still adapting to her insulin when I left her in his care. Given Nicolas's background as a nurse, I already felt safe, but he went far above and beyond. He tracked her blood glucose twice a day, which is far from an easy task, kept precise records, and gathered useful data that I was able to share with our vet. He is also wonderfully proactive; when Santa experienced some sudden changes, he took the initiative to contact the veterinary clinic directly and stayed in touch with them to manage it. He took exceptional care of Santa, and she even developed a wonderful bond with him. My younger cat received plenty of love from Nicolas as well. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were with him. His house is fantastic, fully equipped with cat toys and furniture, and his own cats are very sweet and friendly. He is truly a blessing for our cat family!

Shannon was AMAZING with our pup! She sent us pics and funny updates throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing that he was being taken cared of. She took him on tons of walks and to the fenced in dog park. She also let him make himself comfy on her couch and bed so he was cozy. I would definitely recommend Shannon and will definitely book with her again if she is available.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Somerset is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 6,566 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Somerset. About 88% of Somerset sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
