“Ekaterina was amazing with Zoey! She gave me lots of updates and took such great care of her. She did an amazing job and her kids were so gentle with Zoey too! During Zoey’s stay, she had to take medication and was healing from a cut on her leg - Ekaterina did an amazing job making sure she was being cared for properly. I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”
“Before our weekend away, Jessica worked with my puppy and I to make sure everyone was 100% comfortable and ready for her first weekend away from us. Jessica treated my dog as if she was her own and gave plenty of updates and sent lots of adorable pictures. It is comforting to know we have someone who is flexible and reliable that we know cares about our puppy!”
“It was such a pleasure meeting Natalie! She was so sweet and capable, Shayla took to her and her son Ben almost immediately. I felt confident with her right off the bat. She sent daily updates and pics, I couldn’t ask for more, really. But it was the quality of care that I noticed and my pup was returned to me a happy dog.”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”
“Paul was phenomenal! I received daily photos and updates on how she was doing. Ru was put on a supplements after our meet and greet Paul was great about it, he was able to get her to take them even though she hates to. We will definitely be using Paul again in the future.”
“Amanda was very communicative and took great care of my dog for a long weekend! I got regular updates, and he seemed to get along well with Amanda’s dog too. I would happily leave my dog with her again.”
“I highly recommend Jaina as a dog boarder. She truly understands dogs and spent plenty of time playing with them. Jaina is conscientious, tidy, and very responsive. Very grateful she was able to take care of my dogs.”
“Becky and family were such great pet sitters! They sent so many photos of my dog and I can tell from the photos that Juniper was in good hands. Excellent communicators. I would recommend them to anyone that wants their dog to feel comfortable while you are away.”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
“I have used Tracy and Steve multiple times and every time Django comes back happy and relaxed. This time they had the unique experience of caring for Nonny… Who is a very “special dog”. They were patient and kind with her and it gave me great confidence in their care! Will book again 🥰”
“Amrit was amazing with Pepper. He was so sweet and attentive to her and sent me updates and pictures daily. It didn’t seem like a job for him- he genuinely enjoyed taking care of her. His house was clean and safe. I highly recommend him!!”
“This is the 2nd time we left our furry baby with Carmela (for two weeks this time) It is like dropping Buddy off at a friend’s house. She is wonderful. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he is doing. If he was not eating properly, she checked on what she could do to make him eat. Her dog also easily gets along with other dogs.”
“Charles and his wife were absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away on my cruise. They took such great care of her that I never had to worry about how she was doing while I was gone. They kept me updated throughout the trip and really made her feel like part of their family. It was obvious that she was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog, and I would definitely use them again in the future. 10/10 experience!”
“We could not be more enthusiastic and thankful to Jillian and her family for caring for our puppy for one week. We were given regular updates with photos and videos. It’s like leaving your loved pet with family. Thank you a million times.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
We always pick up a happy pup after a stay at Shaun’s. He and his family love on our dog just like we do and we always look forward to the pics and updates each day of the adventures they’re having. 5 star stay every time and we already have our next night booked. Thank you Shaun and family!
Isabella was amazing from the moment we met until I picked up my pup 🐶 ❤️. She was very sweet and asked all the right questions to ensure Sky was comfortable and happy during his stay. She also sent lots of pictures! I felt so at ease knowing that he was in great hands. The yard is beautiful 😍 so many places to run and discover. Will definitely be booking with Isabella in the future, thank you!
Vanessa and Kayla were amazing! They took such great care of our dog Biscotti and sent us so many updates and photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. It made us feel so much better knowing she was in such good hands. We would definitely use them again!
Sharon took great care of my dog over a long weekend! She was very communicative both in booking, scheduling and confirming. She sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! It gave me peace of mind to know everything was ok. It was clear that my dog was well looked after at her house! I will definitely use her again.
Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Summit is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $94 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 of October 2026, there are 13,640 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Summit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Summit can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Summit home-away-from-home, 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 Summit.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Summit 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 , 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 .
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.
