“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“Melanie, simply put, is one of the very best dog sitters we have ever come across. Our beloved beagle is a senior dog with health issues and anxiety, and Melanie puts her right at ease. She takes amazing care of her, as if she was her own. Melanie sends us pictures and updates and it makes us so much more comfortable to know our dog is comfortable with Melanie. We can tell as soon as we enter her home that our pup is happy to be there. I really don't know what we'd do without Melanie! She's truly terrific and we are so grateful.”
“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.”
“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you 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!!”
“Jessica was so great with our puppy! I’m relieved to have found someone that will take such good care of her when we need to travel. Thank you Jess for all the pics and updates. Chloe will be back ❤️”
“I can’t express how amazing my dog’s stay was with Maisha. I literally won’t book with anyone else! She sent photos and video and was incredibly responsive. My dog had a blast during his stay. I will book again and you should too if you’re reading this!”
“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Milena is a gem; our dog has a wonderful time with her, is extremely well cared for, and (if we’re honest), is probably a little sad when we come to pick her up after a stay with Milena. Highly recommend!”
“Paul does an amazing job with our dog. We can finally take time off with peace of mind that Prada is in great hands and getting great care while we’re away. Extremely pleased!”
“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”

Luis boarded my little dog, Daisy, for 2 nights last week. This was our first interaction so the four of us (Luis, his wife, Daisy and I) are in a "getting to know you" period. I reached out to him at one point to ask how things were going and he quickly responded "all is well." I was happy to receive AM and PM photos of Daisy both days. Even though she can't talk, it's reassuring to see a photo of one's pup sleeping or walking or eating. I anticipate developing an on-going relationship with Luis and have already booked a second visit next week. Dog owners who require a dog sitter can feel confident that their pup is in good, responsible hands with Luis.
Jennifer was incredibly kind to both our dog and us as owners, and we felt completely at ease leaving Ina in her care. She shared updates of Ina enjoying herself every day, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our trip without any worries. Her dog Bagle was also very friendly, and I think it was a wonderful experience for Ina to socialize with another dog. We would highly recommend Jennifer and would love to book with her again!
Amrit was absolutely fantastic! From the very first day, it was clear that our dog Gnocchi was in the best hands. He followed Gnocchi’s daily routine to a T, making sure every meal, walk, and quirk was handled exactly as we do at home. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos. It was reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Gnocchi was while we were away. Amrit and his daughter are genuinely caring and truly went above and beyond to make Gnocchi feel right at home.
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.
Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them 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 for Dog Boarding in Summit on Rover is $72.15 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 13,637 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 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 Summit 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 Summit 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 Summit 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 Summit.
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 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 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.
