“Amanda took great care of our puppy over a long weekend. Amanda was very responsive throughout the whole process and took direction well. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area.”
“This was the first time Tracy and Steven watched our boy Orso and we will gladly book with them again. They provided a fun, stimulating and caring environment. They kept us well informed with daily pictures and videos. They were easy to work with and very responsive. They even purchased a larger dog door so Orso could comfortably come and go as he pleased. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Orso was in such good hands and keeping busy meeting all his new pup friends.”
“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!”
“Brianna was great with our dog! She watched him for a week and sent daily photos/updates. Our dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs but Brianna was very accommodating to his needs. Will definitely book again with her in the future.”
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She was so loving and attentive with Xena and Doug and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent frequent updates and photos, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave them throughout their stay. Our dogs clearly adored her and had the best time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Caitlin with them again!”
“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.”

“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”
“Amanda was incredibly kind, flexible and communicative. This was the very first time I have ever left my elderly dog with anyone outside of close family and I highly recommend Amanda and her family. I was able to take my trip without any stress whatsoever. Thank you Amanda!”
“Darien took wonderful care of my dog, Coco, over the course of four days. She sent us photos and videos frequently including the times Coco ate, slept, and went to the bathroom, ensuring Coco was safe and sound. In addition, Darien provided free grooming for Coco, not only treating her with care but also with talent. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Jestine was absolutely amazing! She was sooo sweet and took great care of my dog, sent me frequent updates and pictures (she even made a collage)! When I got Milton back, he didn’t even want to leave! I will absolutely be using Jestine again for boarding! Your dog will be in amazing hands!”
“Blanca was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 year old Havanese! We are a bit particular with instructions, and she followed them to make sure Sonny felt at home. She only takes 1 dog at a time (plus her own sweet dog),so her house is orderly and clean. Her backyard play area is fenced in which gives the dogs ample room to play. I highly recommend!”
“Just picked my dog up after his first stay at Val’s house, and I couldn’t be happier. Val sent updates and pictures each day, which clearly demonstrated how happy and comfortable he was with her. I don’t even think he wanted to leave!! She was amazing, and my dog has already requested another stay soon!”
“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!!!”

Najja is amazing! She’s very reliable, trustworthy, and always comes through for me, even when I need someone on short notice. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care, and I know he’s always well taken care of. I truly appreciate how dependable and accommodating she is. I definitely recommend Najja to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to watch their fur baby!
This young lady is caring loving attentive all the good qualities in a sitter she sent me videos of my dog & pictures my dog tail starting wagging when she pet I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with her once I saw this interaction book this young lady she’s outstanding she was also very patient with my dog because my baby is a senior dog and that’s important to me
Breanna and Myah were amazing. They sent me pictures of Dior the entire time they were with her. They were very good to communicate with , they payed good attention to Diors food regimen and even bought her along to the stores with them. Will 100% use them again next time Dior needs a sitter. I was nervous at first leaving my doggy with a stranger but they made the entire experience amazing. 10/10 experience and great communication.
The best boarding I’ve had thus far! I was super emotional leaving my little guy behind for 9 nights but Darien immediately sent me videos and pictures and made me feel like I could trust her. 10/10 service, Darien and her family went above and beyond when it came to my frenchie baby. The bath before pickup was also amazing, icing on the cake! I will definitely be using her services again.
Bell was wonderful and I appreciate her accepting my last minute request to watch my separation anxiety prone Chihuahua/Yorky mix. She sent me several pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was able to keep my pup calm and happy while I was working. I highly recommend and would use again!

Veronica took great care of my Nutmeg! Knowing I was going to be away for two weeks, I was nervous about leaving her at a boarding facility where she's been stressed when I've taken shorter trips. After a meet & greet, I was already at ease. In addition to loving my sweet, old girl, I also received photo, and text updates. I'm so thankful I found Veronica, and look forward to future trips where I'll know Nutmeg is loved, and care for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Orange is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $78 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 13,908 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Orange. 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 West Orange 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 Orange 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 Orange.
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 Orange 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.
