“I have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maisha. My dog loved her from the first drop off. She sent picture updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Teresa was wonderful with our dog, who can be a bit nervous in new situations. He settled in quickly thanks to her calm approach, and it’s clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. We’re very grateful and would happily book with Teresa again!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with our Sedona. She is caring, loving and easy to communicate with. She was extremely helpful and flexible with our travel discrepancies. Thank you, Caitlin. You are the best!”
“Amanda was great! It was such a relief knowing our little dog was in such loving hands! She sent us pics every day with a little update so we were very comfortable that our girl was getting good care!”
“Cheyenne was very patient with Jeremiah. He was hiding most of the time he was with her. Yet she still would find him and send us pictures daily. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Doug was absolutely amazing. He provided us with daily updates and photos. Both of our dogs received lots of walks, playtime, and attention. We look forward to using his services again.”
“What a blessing! We had never left our Tumaini (Tutu) for more than a night or two with friends, so we were understandably nervous. From the very start, Manuel put our minds at ease. We first scheduled a meet-and-greet, followed by a full day with Manuel so he and Tu could get to know each other. She had a fantastic time (!!), and we knew right away she was in the best hands. While we were away, Manuel kept us updated with messages and photos, always responding quickly—even to our “we miss Tu so much” texts. He took her on three to four walks a day (which means we officially have no excuse for just three and a backyard romp—lol!). Manuel is not just a sitter; he’s now our go-to for Tu’s care, our first line of defense against worry, and the reason we can travel with complete peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our girl!”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“Yuberkis was a great babysitter for my 1 year old Yorkipoo! She sent daily updates and made sure Loki was fed, went out, and was overall taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“Jia is such a caring person I m so happy I found her for my cat she kept me updated share pics and video always quick response, now I m very relax I have someone caring and loving for my little girl😊”
“Laura and Daniel went above and beyond in making sure my kitten had a great stay. I’m a new cat mom and was nervous to leave him behind but I felt at ease and they made sure to send updates throughout his stay. Very accommodating of schedule too. I would highly recommend them!”
“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!”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“Jaina was amazing with coco sent us daily updates. Coco came home happy 🙂. Jaina accommodated our last minute request to have coco before our vacation which gave us relief that coco was in great hands. Thank you we look forward to sending coco.”

What a relief. Our 10yr old Guinny has not had overnight boarding/sitting in years. Now that he is visually impaired and diabetic we were extremely nervous to leave him multiple days. Berenice was so attentive and made us feel comfortable from the very start. She maintained his twice-a-day insulin injection schedule and kept him active. At pick up I could immediately tell he felt safe with her as there was no pulling away, no whining, no fuss. We did not enter fully inside the home but still felt it was welcoming and suitable for dog-siiting. We are happy and will definitely book Berenice again.
Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!
Karen and her family were absolutely wonderful with Koa! From the moment we met them, I could tell Koa would be in caring, capable hands. They treated her well and it was clear she felt comfortable, happy, and loved during her stay. Karen kept me updated with photos and messages, just the right amount too, consistent and not too much or too little, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Koa came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and patience they showed her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Karen again and in fact already plan too for the next time i am away, I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little girl!
It was our first time to have our Mochi spend a night with a dogsitter, away from our house. Digdem did a great job giving him time and space to warm up to her and the other dogs she was looking after. She succeeded and our Mochi’s first a sleepover was a huge success, all thanks to Digdem. Highly recommended and will definitely book her again. Thank you Digdem!
Darien took such great care of our Kudi! She sent me so many pictures and videos throughout the week, which made me feel like I was still there with him and gave me so much peace of mind. Her space is gorgeous with a huge lawn for him to play and sunbathe. She also gave him a bath and a haircut for his return home, and he looks absolutely adorable! I highly recommend Darien and will definitely be booking with her 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.
Leaving Rosie with Vanessa and her family while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, Rosie was beyond excited to be there and was treated like part of the family. Vanessa kept us updated with so many photos and videos of Rosie playing, relaxing, and clearly having the best time. It made being away from our girl so much easier and gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was so loved and well cared for. We could truly enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying for a second. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, communication, and genuine care Vanessa and her family showed Rosie. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Orange on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13,920 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of West Orange sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which West Orange landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Orange 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 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 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.
