“Hanelle has to be the nicest person but on top of that the best person to trust your pet with. She went above and beyond special care for our little Ginger and spoiled her with homemade biscuits on top of all the love she gave her. She exercised her regularly and listened to any additional information we gave her! Certainly recommend her and will be using her again”
“We had a wonderful first experience with Turin! Tilly needs to be the only dog, so finding someone who could give her individual attention and make her feel comfortable was very important to us. Turin took the time to sit with us while Tilly explored her surroundings and adjusted at her own pace. She had such a calm, kind way with Tilly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. It was obvious that Tilly enjoyed spending time with Turin, and she came home happy after having a great time. It means so much to find someone you can trust with your dog, especially when they have individual needs. We are so happy we found Turin. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“I can’t say enough about Steven and his family, they welcomed my dog into there home like she was there own. I felt very comfortable and so did my dog with Steven. I got regular updates and pictures. I am so happy I found Steven on Rover.”
“I highly recommend Kelly! My dog was visibly happier to stay with Kelly compared to other previous boarding facilities we have used in the area where he was left isolated for long periods of time. If you have a doodle, they won't be alone.”
“Thanks Christopher, you did a great job having Kaya, she is healthy and happy after staying with you! Will recommend you to my friends and next time when I have to go on vacation, I'll ask you to have Kaya with you once more, if you don't mind!”
About: What sets me apart is the love, attention, and personalized care I give every pet. I am home full-time, so your dog is never left unsupervised and I’m available throughout the day for frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, and medication as needed. I also welcome senior dogs and dogs with anxiety, I understand that they may need a little extra patience and care. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own, with lots of love, attention, cuddles, and a safe, comfortable home away from home. I’m home full-time and available 7 days a week, anytime, so I am always here with your pet. They’ll get plenty of potty breaks, love, attention, and care throughout the day. I have a clean, smoke-free, comfortable home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I take every safety precaution to keep everyone happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I provide a loving, attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I communicate well with pet parents to provide plenty of photos and updates during their stay.
About: I am a true animal lover and I would treat your animals as my own. I have lots of pet care experience from having my own of 2 cats and 1 dog and taking care of some friends. I have done 2 years of pet therapy with my own dog and completed basic to advanced dog training. I have volunteered for father john animal house and eleventh hour rescue to get some shelter experience and more dog exposure. I would prefer to work with small to medium dog size. My second hobby is animal training which is a rewarding experience to me from dog socialization to learning basic commands. I just love working with dogs and is rewarding in seeing the dog learned the command. As i like to walk daily, pets fit into my daily schedule perfectly. Our daily morning schedule usually 7 days a week is potty upon awakening, breakfast and playtime upon first hour. Then a morning walk and another one around dinner time. I have a unfenced yard but believe exercise is a high requirement for the dog. What i do in place is 2 daily neighborhood walks and take her occasionally to local parks to walk around for different smells and meet other friendly dogs. Also believe in going to any local dog events for shelters to give dog interactions/ socialization.
“Angelina is awesome - the whole family is! I don’t even think Russty had a bit of anxiety while he was there….honestly, every photo he looked as comfy as he does at home. Oh, photos! At minimum, I got a photo a day (videos, too!!). It made me so happy. She eased all my dog-mom worries and I was able to fully relax. I can’t wait for Russty to stay with them again!!”
“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!”
“Amy was amazing with Ruba. She sent plenty of pictures and videos of Ruba having a wonderful time romping around with the other dogs! Will definitely be choosing Amy for our future dogsitting needs in this area.”
“This was our first time leaving Pete with Monica & Kelvin. I was assured he was being well cared for, and was updated with photos of him being snuggled and playing in the yard.”
“Jonathan minded both our dogs, a Cairn terrier and a German Shepherd, while we were on a ten day cruise. He provided us with video updates on our pups on a regular basis. When we picked up the pups, they were in great spirits and we could tell that they had a wonderful time at Jonathan;s home, particularly in his fenced in backyard.”
“So grateful for Karalyn's sweet and caring treatment of our dog Max! Her photo/text updates throughout his stay were great and really made me feel comfortable that he was being well cared for. Will absolutely book with Karalyn again! Thanks so much!”
“This was my first time using DogVacay.com. Kristin was just phenomenal. I went to Texas for 2 weeks and left my puppy Brody with her. She sent me pictures and even videos along with status updates every single day. Could not be happier, highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sussex is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $71 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 767 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sussex. 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.
96% of sitters in Sussex 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 Sussex 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 Sussex.
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 Sussex 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.
