“My dog scampi had a great time with Rhinesca and her family. She sent plenty of pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. I would bring scampi to her again.”
“Mike was absolutely wonderful\! He picked up Judge right on time and delivered him safely and on schedule\. He was incredibly caring and attentive, taking Judge for walks and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire trip\. Judge is a big boy—about five times the size of most dogs—and he slobbers quite a bit\! Despite that, Mike made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved\. I truly appreciate the exceptional care Mike gave Judge\. I highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable\. Thank you, Mike\!”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Binta! She was wonderful, incredibly attentive, and overly accommodating throughout Laila’s entire stay. I absolutely loved the picture updates she sent me—it was such a relief to see Laila so happy and well cared for. Binta made sure Laila was comfortable and treated like family. It’s amazing to find someone so trustworthy and flexible. I’ll definitely be booking with Binta again!”
“Alyona was terrific with my puppy Bennet. She sent pictures and updates throughout Bennet’s stay and assured me that she was doing well. Alyona was inquisitive about Bennet’s habits and likes and that clearly translated into how she cared for my puppy during her stay. I will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Jessica was great with our pup and provided pics and updates throughout. Chestnut felt comfortable and had a good time playing with her pup! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Janis was wonderful with Benita! She was super responsive, kept me updated, and sent videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Benita is a shy puppy, but she looked happy and comfortable with Janis. I really appreciated her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Alice was great! Super responsive. Sent tons of great photos. Our dog was sad to part ways with her which is always a great sign. Would 100 percent recommend to anyone.”
“My dog just stayed the night with Noelle and he and I could not be happier. He gets lots of love and attention and I feel totally comfortable with the loving care and security that he is provided - you will too.”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“5 STARS!!!! Victor is a loving and talented pet person. He saved me in a last minute travel situation! I have a big & powerful dog who is doing her best to be good & calm, but does not always nail it! He was AMAZING with her!! I could tell that she felt totally comfortable and loved the whole 2 weeks I was gone. He walked her a lot and was very understanding about her special attributes & need to destroy toys. She slept in bed with him & was allowed on the couch, which was really comforting for her. I booked him the day before I left town and he was professional, pleasant & flexible with timing. He obviously has a great connection with animals & is an overall lovely person to communicate with on the daily (he sent pics & videos everyday). This is the first time I have picked her up after being away that she is genuinely happy & chill. Def book him!! I have recommended him to my whole family & all of my loved ones who own dogs. He lives on a quiet street with really wide sidewalks, good if your dog has dog reactivity. Perfect experience from start to finish.”
“Vivian was an excellent caregiver for my two large dogs, always kept communication open and sent me many photos and updates of my dogs. I will definitely send my dogs with her again.”
“Ryan and Jefra took wonderful care of Pika! They were very responsive and accommodating, and they sent me regular updates and beautiful photos of my pup during the week I was away. Highly recommend!”
“I booked with Carol for boarding my dog. She was fantastic! She took very good care of my dog and adhered to feedings, walks, play time, and all the fun things my dog loves to do. She communicated well with me and provided pictures and updates each day. I can tell my dog enjoyed his time with her. If I need to board my dog again, I will definitely be booking with Carol again.”
“Shar hosted Ruby at her apartment for 3 days and 2 nights. She sent constant updates and pictures, which we absolutely loved. More importantly she took great care of Ruby. She came home happy and relaxed. Thank you Shar!”
“Another great stay with Cathy! When my pup sees the house she gets excited walking up to the door! We get daily pics and daily reports of how she’s doing. We couldn’t be happier knowing our pup is doing so well. Cathy comes with my highest recommendation!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Naomi! She took care of our corgi, Lola, for 4 days while we were away, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lola was so well cared for. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave to our pup, we’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

Rhinesca is truly amazing! She has watched our two dogs multiple times and always takes such great care of them. Most recently, she cared for them for 10 days while we were away on our honeymoon, and we could not have felt more at ease knowing they were in her hands. She communicated with us consistently, kept us updated, and made being across the world away from our dogs feel so much less stressful. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about them, and we always come home to two happy and well-cared-for pups. We trust Rhinesca completely and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter.
I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie! Leaving Nova with someone new while I was away was a little nerve-racking, but Stephanie made the entire experience so much easier. Her communication was outstanding — I received multiple updates and pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. What I appreciated most was how genuinely caring Stephanie was. It never felt like Nova was just another dog she was watching. She treated her like one of her own, and as someone who considers his dog family, that meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about Nova because I knew she was being loved and well taken care of. I’m incredibly grateful to Stephanie and would absolutely trust her with Nova again. Highly recommend!
100/10 You know you’ve chosen the right sitter for your dog when they refuse to leave with you. Soni was consistent in sending over photos and videos to keep me updated that Milo was doing great in their backyard and having a blast without me </3 All jokes aside, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter
I just wanted to thank you for taking such excellent care of Catch these past three nights. You went above and beyond — keeping us updated, sending pictures, giving his medicine on time, and treating him with real care and patience. Being able to add on grooming was super helpful. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and you truly did. We appreciate you more than you know. Thank you again for everything.
Lisa took amazing care of my dog for 8 nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She treated him like he was her own, made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and kept me updated while I was away. Coming home to a happy, healthy dog gave me so much peace of mind. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Milo!
"She was amazing. It was Charlie's first time staying with someone else for more than a week, but the daily photos and videos she sent kept me totally reassured. I really appreciate how warmly she looked after him. Because of her, I could focus on my work on the other side of the world with peace of mind. I'm so glad Charlie had a blast with her dog and another puppy there. I felt so lucky to leave him with her."
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Tenafly is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $72 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 13,857 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tenafly. 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 Tenafly 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 Tenafly 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 Tenafly.
<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 Tenafly 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.
