“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”
“Taylor was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my baby so I was super anxious especially because he is primarily pee pad trained , a ball of energy and only eats cooked food ! She was SUPER understanding and flexible. Taylor kept me updated and my baby loves her ! He usually has separation anxiety but he did so well with her ! Can’t wait to book her again 10/10! Teddy and I appreciate Taylor a TON”
“This was our first time using Rover so I was definitely nervous but Darrin, Debra, and Emily are a very welcoming family. The fact that they already have two huskies meant they already knew the loud stubbornness of the breed. They also sent me pictures of my wolves which eased my mind that they were in good hands. Logan and Larry had such a great time because they came back exhausted from all the excitement. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Jonathan is amazing. I dropped off my little guy here since he was close to our wedding venue and Jonathan took great care of him. Robin adjusted quickly and we felt at ease during our wedding knowing he was being well taken care of. Jonathan even dropped and picked up Robin so that he can attend our ceremony! Will be sure to book Jonathan again”
“Marlo S. has been helping with my dog Scout for a while now, and I've always had a great experience with her. She's easy to communicate with, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Scout is always happy to see her and comes back from his walks relaxed and in a good mood. It's good to know I can count on someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. I would definitely recommend Marlo to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you. 🫶🐶😃”
“This is the first of many sleepovers at Mike & Alyssa's, first for Chloe in 12 years. They were awesome with her, taking great care of her and sharing pics with us, which helped ease us missing her. Thank you for taking such great care of our pawbaby!”
“Rose took care of our Ozzy for few days, couldn’t imagine better care! She provided us with lots of updates (videos, photos) and we were able to enjoy our little vacation! Will definitely book with Rose again ! ☺️”
“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
About: Lifelong animal lover, experienced pet caregiver, and proud member of a four-dog household! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds — from hamsters, bunnies, cats, fish, and birds to countless dogs (and even a seahorse!). Today, I share my home with four lovable pups — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — so, needless to say, I’m no stranger to big personalities, lots of energy, or a little extra fur & slobber! 🐶 Beyond caring for my own pets, I have plenty of experience looking after others’ furry friends and volunteering with animal shelters, rescues, and adoption events. ❤️ I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that means long walks, games of fetch, learning new tricks, feeding and grooming, or simply some quality cuddle time. 🐾 Above all, I want every pet to feel happy, safe, and loved! Whether your four-legged friend needs an energetic playmate, a reliable caregiver, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like family. 💕 Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life, especially with four dogs of my own! 🐶 Since I currently work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the week, including weekends and evenings. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work around your pet’s individual needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or extended stays. My schedule is very accommodating, so don’t hesitate to reach out! My home is a very pet-friendly, loving environment! 🐾 I have four dogs of our own — two Newfoundlands and two rescues — who are incredibly friendly, well-socialized, and love welcoming new furry friends! I’m accustomed to having visiting dogs, including fosters, and our pups have always gotten along wonderfully with them. I also have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door for easy outdoor access, along with plenty of space for playtime, exercise, and relaxation. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and crating if needed. With four dogs at home, I’m certainly no stranger to fur, slobber, muddy paws, or big personalities! 🐶 I also have hands-on experience with basic pet first aid and administering medications. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being, and will always treat them like family. ❤️
“From booking his stay to picking up my dog after my trip, Christabel was communicative and trustworthy. In the initial visit to her apartment, it was evident it was very clean, safe, and stylish. She proactively asked for documentation needed in case of emergency which is thoughtful. Throughout my dogs stay I received numerous photos and videos of him being walked or lounging, and he didn’t seem anxious like he usually is in new situations. He stopped eating like I mentioned to her, and she went out to get a different wet food for him which he loved! She also got him a small ball at the same time to try a new toy. I have used more expensive pet boarding services in the past, and decided to try rover to save money. Im glad to say the service provided by Christabel was so personable and comforting I was able to relax on my trip knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“They took fantastic care of Winter while we were out of town for a couple of days! They understood she was a bit skittish and shy, and also accounted for her meds. They also were very accommodating when plans had changed a little bit. She came home happy, I would definitely use them again!”
“Vafa was amazing with my puppy Romeo!! She took him to the park, played in the yard with him, and had him nap in his crate as we requested. She was also so flexible about pickup and dropoff times, and was always updating us with photos and letting us know how he was doing! We will definitely use her again!”
“I was happy with the way Juhlhiffer and her family welcomed my little dog Muffin into their home with love and care. They really put my fears of being away at ease by communication and sending pictures of my little Muffin having fun. We look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Tammy and Tony were absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend them for anyone who wants there pup to be in good hands! This was my first time leaving my pup on this website and I am happy. The initial meet and greet went well and I knew from that moment that I would feel good leaving my dog with them. During my dog's stay, Tammy was always updating me with pictures and text messages which kept me at ease while I was away. I know if I ever need to leave Ace with anyone, it will be them! Thank you Tammy and Tony!”

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!

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.

There are 14,158 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Summit. About 88% of Summit 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.
