“Jaimie was great! She was very solicitous of Angel and celebrated her 10th birthday with her. She kept in touch with pictures of Angel and her pets. I felt very comfortable that Angel was in excellent hands.”
“Yvette is hands down the most loving dog boarder by a mile. Elvis is always happy there - be at long stay or short one. We are always satisfied. She always sends us loads of updates and photos and videos and he comes home healthy and well looked after. Perfectly happy he’s very attached to her and you’re very thankful to Robert that we found her. She is a lifesaver. Cannot imagine how we would’ve done without her.”
“Here’s a polished version of your Rover feedback: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lineth was amazing with my pet! She’s very caring and made sure my pet felt comfortable and happy throughout the stay. I really appreciate how accommodating she was with my early drop-off and pickup times. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Harleny! She took amazing care of my dog, Saga, and treated her like one of her own. Saga received so many cuddles and had an absolutely great time while in her care. Harleny kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was incredibly accommodating when we needed to make some last minute changes. We’re so grateful for her kindness and flexibility she showed Saga. Highly recommend her!”
“Jalisa was the sweetest since before we met in person! This was only the third time Angel has been away from me in 14 years, and I knew she was in good hands. Her and her family were so kind and welcoming! She sent pics and video and I could tell Ang was having a ball! I’m so glad that I found her and I will be booking more stays for sure.”
“Kavya was so kind and took such good care of Leo. Her entire family welcomed him and allowed him to be a part of theirs for his stay. Oscar is such. Friendly pup and Leo loved him so much. I can’t wait for him to stay with the family again!”
“Our Brooke stayed by Radwa while we were off on a family vacation for 7 days. Brooke was very well taken care of and a very happy girl when we got home. She loves Radwa, her family and her pups. It’s nice to be away and not have to worry about your beloved pup. We highly recommend Radwa.”
“Letitia was very good with Luca. I received updates and pictures on how he was doing and he seemed to enjoy his time with her and her family. Even made a furry friend with her dog. Would recommend her for your pet.”
“We needed a dog boarded for the Thanksgiving week. Debi was shown as available, we messaged her and replied so quickly. We cannot say enough about her. Lily stayed with Debi and her family during our vacation week. It was difficult for us, but Debi made it a wonderful experience. We got frequent pics, videos and texts which we could see how wonderful she took care of Lily. We appreciate all you did for Lily. It was a fantastic experience. We highly recommend Debi and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Alice and her family were awesome with our beagle, Buster! He had a great time and clearly enjoyed spending the long weekend. We will definitely reach out again in the future when we need a rover for Buster!”
“Absolutely the best, Pam made us feel comfortable from the moment we reached out. So grateful for her services and constant communication/videos. Will def be going back again!”

“Leo had a great time with the wonderful family. He loved the company of the kids so much I think he was slightly resisting to come with me when I went to pick him up. Got very regular updates along with pics and we would keenly look forward to them. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts for Leo and taking care of him so nicely.”
“This was our Zeno’s first time staying anywhere without us. At first, Zeno was a little nervous but adjusted fine after a while. You can tell William is good with dogs. He was patient, kind and reassured us that Zeno would be in good hands. William sent photos of Zeno hanging out in the back yard and updated me on the stay. I’d definitely book with William again.”

Letitia was easy to work with when arranging boarding for my dog. She responded quickly to any inquiries and provided some pictures and updates of my dog while we were away. Letitia took really good care of my dog. When I need dog boarding again, I’ll be coming back!
We left our 9 year old dog with Anu for an extended stay and are very pleased with the care she took of him. She provided him love and play and he soon settled in, becoming comfortable with her and her family. She kept us informed of his daly moods and routine, providing regular updates with pictures. She was also very quick and responsive to our queries. We highly recommend Anu and will definitely be using her services again.
Rose is wonderful! Super responsive and so kind. She took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I received regular updates. It is clear Rose truly loves dogs and treats them like family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Our dog Oreo had a wonderful stay! Firdavs was very communicative and provided regular updates on Oreo daily with pictures; he enjoyed his time there very much and was happy the entire time. We really appreicated the excellent care and would highly recommend!
I have nothing but lovely things to say about Radwa. From the moment we met her, her bubbly and kind personality made us feel very welcome as we did our meet and greet. Her dogs, Lyla and Diesel are very sweet and made our dog, Sophie, feel very welcome. She is 7 months old and needs extra attention— Radwa was really great at maintaining that. She was communicative and let us do a second meet and greet since the first one was a little over a month away from our travel date. She is very accommodating, and I look forward to using her in the future again! Thank you, Radwa!
The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.
We can't thank Jacqueline enough for being able to watch Sedona on short notice. You were wonderful to go through her care instructions so thoroughly and for you and Mimi to welcome her into your home and shower her with loving care. All of the photos and updates were much appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South River on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,714 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South River. 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.
96% of South River 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 South River 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 South River 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 South River.
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 South River 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.
