“100% her and her husband are superb!! We'll definitely use them again?. Our dog looks awesome and so happy. They update us with pictures daily. They're an amazing team. ?”
“5 stars all the way. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t not be happier with the service and care we received. Our little Gunner has terrible anxiety and does not like to be alone ever since his sister passed away last year. Aivy took such good care of our Gunner. She was patient and kind and made sure she communicated with us on how Gunner was doing. We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again. Thank you for your patience with our old man.”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“Thanks Annette and Martin for giving our Brody such great care while we were on vacation. It was good to see all the video's and pictures, and we could see that Brody was in good hands. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Kelsey and Conor cared for our 10 yo lab and could not have been more kind & loving in their care. They provide a clean environment with their own friendly dogs with a perfect outdoor space for a dog. They provided daily updates in which our dog looked so happy & well cared for. Highly recommend and will use Kelsey & Conor again!”
“Kevin loved our puppy, Sunny, like one of his own. It was her first time away from us, and he sent lots of update pictures showing her having a great time with Zeke and the other dogs he was watching. Will definitely use Kevin again!”
“Nyema was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated throughout Max’s stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Max was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Nyema again! Highly recommend!”
“Since this was a new location and person for Louie, I was a little apprehensive. After meeting Adrienne and her daughter, I knew he would be fine. They loved him and he even played with one of their dogs. I won't hesitate to use her again!”
“Stephanie took great care of our senior dog for 3 days and 2 nights while we were away. In addition to feeding and walking her, Stephanie also gave her medication and wiped her skin per our vets orders. Our girl was very comfortable for her stay! Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Alison was wonderful! I feel confident that my pup was treated like family and was comfortable and loved the entire time we were away. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Booked with Monica and Conrad for a second time and my dogs had the best time again! Lots of dog walks, playtime, cuddles, toys, treats, and backyard fun with them and their doggie Pongo. They sent the cutest pics and updates every night! Your pups are in great hands here!”
About: Hello! My name is Cookie, and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. As a pet parent myself to a 9-year-old Yorkie Poo and a 3-month-old kitten, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have spent much of my life caring for dogs and cats and have experience pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors while they were away on vacation. Through these experiences, I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is the time, attention, and affection I can provide. As a newly retired individual, I have a flexible schedule and can devote plenty of one-on-one care to your pets. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I am happy to accommodate their routine. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to safely explore and play. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to giving your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. As a newly retired individual, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available every day beginning at 7:30 a.m., which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet's schedule and needs. Because I am retired, I can provide consistent attention, companionship, exercise, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I have the time and availability to ensure your fur babies receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture and are free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable. Dogs are taken for walks approximately every two hours and have access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play and fresh air throughout the day. I follow each pet owner's feeding schedule and care instructions to ensure their routine stays consistent while they're away. In addition to meeting their basic needs, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. As a newly retired pet lover, I have the time to provide personalized care and companionship, helping your pets feel happy, safe, and right at home. If caring for pets in a client's home, I will follow their established routines and provide the same level of attention, affection, and care to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Penny and Lucy had a wonderful time with Aubrey and her family. We felt great leaving our pups in her care. Thanks again for your flexibility and we look forward to working with you again!”
“Sarah and her family are amazing! Both of our dogs were happy and well cared for. Sarah provided constant updates and pictures which eased our minds while we were away for the week. We are repeat clients and will definitely use Sarah again :)”
“Dave and Phyllis are very attentive and caring. I know my baby is getting babied when he is with them, and they are flexible and accommodating. They alerted me that my dog’s allergies had begun to merit medical attention when I came to pick him up.”
“Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hali as a dog sitter. The communication was great from the beginning and was easy and reassuring. She took great care of Ruby and even watched her as a 5 month old puppy. She sent pictures and videos of Ruby enjoying her time outside in her fenced in yard. She responded quickly to my check ins and made me feel comfortable leaving her. Ruby was happy and calm when we picked her up and I would highly recommend Hali as your dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“We felt so safe leaving our 2 babies with her while we were at a wedding! She sent is pictures each day and updates on how they were! It completely put our minds at ease and we cannot thank her enough!!”

We booked boarding with Melissa last minute, and She was able to accommodate us. Boarded our corgi for 2 nights and Melissa was very patient with our anxious pup, She sent us updates and photos which makes us comfortable. Thank you so much Melissa! Very recommended if you want to have a reliable sitter for your pups! :)
Kevin is wonderful caretaker for our beloved two pups. We knew from our meet and greet that he is a great fit for our dogs. He understands dogs well and hence, being dubbed as the "dogfather" is well-put! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pictures of our dogs and has remained in contact for updates with us. We would love to have him puppy sit our furry babies!
So happy Karleigh was available to watch Dingo again (: He had such a great time as always and had fun with their pup Noodle and was calm and relaxed when we picked him. He really loved staying with them at their new house with a wonderful fenced in big backyard. Perfect setup for him to feel safe and comfortable. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates which was really sweet and we were not worried about him at all. Outstanding sitter! Will definitely book her again. They are the best. Highly recommend (:
Our dogs had an amazing time at Danielle’s place! She sent frequent updates so I felt totally confident they were in great hands. Both pups felt so comfortable with her — a testament to her patience and kindness as a home away from home!!! I would absolutely LOVE to book with her again!!
Aivy was absolutely wonderful. We were so grateful to have found her when we needed care on short notice, and she graciously allowed us to extend a day when we needed it. She was kind, attentive, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Ollie came home happy and healthy. We would love to have Ollie stay with her again and highly recommend her!
Katie was absolutely wonderful with Pepper! She was kind, friendly, and took such great care of her. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Pepper was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciated Katie’s communication and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Would trust Amber with June again in a heartbeat! June is a recent shelter rescue, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone new, but I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She took wonderful care of June the whole time, sent updates and photos so I never had to worry, and clearly put in the effort to help June feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. You can tell she’s more of a dog person than a people person, but in the best way possible because June warmed up to her fairly quickly and seemed so relaxed and happy to stay with Amber. June got along great with her animals. Great communication from start to finish, and she gave so much love to my girl.
Probably our fourth stay with Annette and Martin. They are fantastic! Our very active, friendly spaniel loves them and we get pictures and reels that show us just how comfortable and happy he is. Pretty sure he gets so much attention he thinks he's on vacation. I can't see why would use anyone else.
Dana was Odin’s first time staying overnight somewhere that wasn’t home; and he LOVED it. He was obviously well cared for and tended to while we were gone. Dana sent an abundance of pictures and videos of him to keep us updated. Dana’s family, house and yard is well suited for dogs of all ages and sizes.
Marcus and Nicki are such a sweet couple and cared for Kyrie very well. I was particularly grateful because the request was a bit last minute, but they were so understanding. It was clear they had a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to care for our very anxious Kyrie 🥹 They had great communication and sent cute images of her over the weekend. I’m thankful our dog was in capable and caring hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stratford on Rover is $51.33 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 3,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stratford. 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.
95% of Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 Stratford.
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 Stratford 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.
