“Auggie and I had an amazing experience with Heather and her family. This was the first time my pup had stayed with anyone new outside of my own family, so I was a little nervous about him being anxious. We did a meet-and-greet the week before, and Heather (and her very sweet family) made me feel completely comfortable and confident. During the stay, I received many fantastic, detailed updates and photos of Auggie’s long weekend of fun. Heather has great, well fenced yard that Auggie enjoyed many zoomies in - even on the day it rained. Auggie can be challenging to walk in public due to some dog reactivity, but Heather took great care to follow the tips I passed along when I dropped him off and I felt totally at ease. 100/10 would (and absolutely will) be returning again!”
“I can’t thank Carol enough for taking such great care of my fur baby while I was away!! He was very comfortable staying with her and was definitely pampered. I only hope she’s available to watch him any time I need to leave town.”
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. As an adult, I have my own pup who I love with every ounce of my being. I have experience working as a dog walker and a dog-sitter (both in my home, and in the clients home). You can trust that your pet will be safe with me, as I will love them as if they are my own. I'm currently working full-time 9-5, but after work hours I will be fully attentive to your dog. During the weekends I typically stay home with plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I live in an apartment complex with a lot of open grass. The area is not fenced, but I will make sure that your pup is safe. In addition, the complex has a dog park that I am happy to bring your dog to, upon request. I have my own dog, a sweet, one year old pomapoo to keep your dog company and play with. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands, with me.
“I had such a wonderful experience with this amazing couple! They took incredible care of my dog, Teddy, and treated him like he was part of their own family. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really stood out was how kind and accommodating they were. I was delayed because of a storm, and they stayed up late so I could pick Teddy up without making me feel rushed or inconvenienced. That level of care and understanding meant so much to me. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters, and I would trust them with Teddy again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and genuinely wonderful people to watch their pet!”
“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”
“Molly, her husband, and her kids took such good care of my dog Lucy. I’ve genuinely never seen her happier than in the pictures she sent me. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to drop Lucy off with you again next trip!!”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy for several days and Tamika was great! She sent me photos and kept me updated daily which was really important to me. I could really sense that she enjoyed taking care of her. I will definitely rebook in the future 😊”
“We are so happy to have found Geoff, Jenny and family. Snickers was treated like one of the family. She had plenty of friends and activity to keep her engaged. We loved receiving plenty of updates throughout the time away which included pictures and videos. We have found Snickers 2nd home when we are away. It makes us feel so good that we don’t have to worry that she will be taken care of in a loving home.”
“Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!”
“My dog hasn't stayed with anyone outside my family in several years and can be a bit anxious, but Alexa took great care of him. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Book Enis right away!! He was amazing with our Fur baby! I was a little nervous since this was his first boarding stay (3 nights) but I got updates everyday texts/pictures which I was so happy about. I will definitely book him next time without any hesitation. Overall if I can give him more stars I would!!! Just honestly AMAZING! ?”
About: I have a 2 year old Goldendoodle who I’ve had since he was a puppy and I’ve always had a passion for dogs of all breeds. I work as a personal trainer, my hours are very flexible and I set my own schedule so I have a lot of free time in my days. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and live alone. I have a small backyard area and can contain dogs in any specific room in my apartment as well if needed.
“I boarded my dogs with Lindsey for 2 weeks and she is amazing! Both of my dogs got comfortable quickly with her, they were comfortable with her cats and dog. She gave me updates on my dogs throughout the time and also pictures which I really appreciated. I didn’t have to worry or anything the dogs were great with her and I would have her again watch the dogs in the future. She is responsive, caring to the dogs, gives updates/ pictures, very flexible with drop off and pick up times, I highly recommend Lindsey.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I have always been around dogs since a baby and have had one of my own as I got older. I also have had a cat raised from a baby when I was a teen and been around many others as well. I love playing and interacting with animals especially dogs and running with them because I like to be really active with them and to make sure that they are well taken care of. Animals are the sweetest creatures ever and they bring me so much joy and happiness to be around them. I am very compassionate when it comes to animals and have experience in training and fostering as well. I currently work full time during the week, so I will have plenty of time to interact and take care of pets on the weekends. I have a fenced backyard for them to play, and I also have a large crate to keep them in if I have to make a quick store run. If I need to get any supplies for the pets there are plenty of stores around me to get items from.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Caldwell
Our dog, Coach, had a dream stay with Kristen over Christmas. He was treated like royalty. She handled his food and meds like the pro she is, but also carved out a path for him so he wouldn’t have to walk on the snow. She sent several videos a day, he looked SO happy. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to board him at Kristen’s house. He looked like he didn’t want to leave!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Caldwell is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $109 per night.

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 West Caldwell 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 West Caldwell 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 West Caldwell.
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 West Caldwell 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.
