Top rated Watchung dog boarders
“Paul is excellent! Dunley is a 5-year-old lab/cattle dog with high energy. Paul made sure Dunley got enough exercise, walks, and plenty of fetch. He came back happy. I will definitely use Paul again!”
“Jenny P. Is the absolute best if you need someone to watch your precious pet. She treated our little one as if she was her owner. Photos and comments were sent to ensure our little one was having a good time. I thought our dog might not want to leave Jenny! If you are looking for the best person to stay with your dog, Jenny is the one!”
“Shaun is our #1 preferred Rover! He and his family have taken such great care of our giant (95lb) doodle on multiple occasions for many days! He gets walks, playtime and cuddles. 10/10 recommend!”
“Jesse, his family, and his dog Coco were amazing w/ Boba! I got consistent updates on Boba including pictures, when he ate, when he went outside, etc. i would not hesitate to have Jesse watch Boba again.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Margarita is amazing, she regularly updated me on my baby boy by posting pictures and videos every morning and evening. I was nervous initially but she put my anxiety to rest. Thank you Margarita ?”
“My dog was very happy and got lots of attention and cuddles during her stay. She clearly enjoyed being with Amrit and his daughter. I got updates and photos throughout the weekend. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica’s the best there is. I can tell she treats all dogs as if they were her own. Harper gets excited as we pull up to her neighborhood. Jessica updates us frequently with pictures. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”
“I rarely find cause to write good reviews but Jessica and Maria did such a great job with our 6 month old toy poodle pup that I felt compelled to write. We had arranged for a family member to take care of our girl for 2 weeks but her dog got sick and we need to explore other options. I initially looked into to doggy hotels but your dog doesn't get any personal attention, is lumped together all day with tons of dogs and sits in a room solo 7 hours a night. I came across Jessica on Rover. I could tell by her many positive reviews that people genuinely were happy. We received daily pics and videos while we were away which really put our minds at ease. We received prompt answers to any questions we had. Harlee was integrated into their family and she looked like she had a great time. Jessica and her mom Maria are dog lovers and appear to truly enjoy what they do. I would not hesitate to leave our pup with Jessica in the future. Our dog is a handful and she came back to us healthy and happy!”
“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
“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!!!!”
“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”
“Seureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.”
“We had a great experience boarding our elderly dog with Lori for a week while we were on vacation. She was trustworthy, easy to communicate with, and accomodating. My dog came home relaxed and happy. Thank you Lori- we will definitely book with you again in the future!”
