“Yoshi loved Desi and Marilyn’s home, and we could tell he was well taken care of and showered with love while he was there with them. We received timely updates about his status every day, and they were very easy to communicate with. Would definitely book again if the time came.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
“Kneena is wonderful and so easy to work with! She's quick with responding and sent daily updates, including photos and videos! She provided excellent care for my dog, Wally. I would 100% board with Kneena again!”
“We were out of state for a week, and Gargi and Sourav went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Zeytin. They made sure she had a blast by taking her to the pond for swimming, which she absolutely loves, and spent time playing with her using sticks—her favorite activity. They kept us updated with little notes about how she was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. Zeytin came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We’re so thankful for their kindness and fantastic care!”
“Excellent! It says a lot when a dog goes back to the dog sitter (Enis) for a final goodbye pet before we got in the car to go back home. This was the first time our dog was away from us, in all the pictures she seemed so happy that she was playing with other dogs. We felt at ease knowing Lucy was having a great time. I highly recommend Enis.”
“Stacy was amazing with our dog Sherlock, providing many updates and photos. She is very friendly and was quick to answer any questions that we had. When we picked up Sherlock he was relaxed and obviously very well looked after and given lots of love and attention during his stay. We would definitely use Stacy again to look after Sherlock.”
“Rommie was fantastic, easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pictures, and took great care of my pup Lady. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, gentle dog sitter.”
“Janise and her family took amazing care of my dog Faith! She suffers from some anxiety, but they were patient, brought out the best in her, and kept us updated frequently. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Frances took great care of our dog. She works from home so he got a week of full attention. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates. Very nice person and animal lover.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old and have always been a huge animal lover! As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also have a friendly pup of my own who would love a playmate if your dog enjoys being around other dogs! I work full time, but I am remote. I take care of my dog every day as I am working from home and I take him on walks around the neighborhood or to the local dog park. I also have a dog park in my building. I am in an apartment complex with a dog park. My building is a bark building. Very dog friendly and dog proofed my house for my own pet.
“Alyssa is the best! She knows how to communicate very well. She is so loving and caring. She made me feel so comfortable to leave my baby with her and her beautiful family. Definitely going to be a returning customer.”
“A wonderful home away from home for Leah with Funda taking care of every detail of Leah’s routine and her special meals . She was very encouraging and very willing to do all that she could to help Leah have a great time while our family were away .,The dog sitter , Funda took her for every day walks and her family enjoyed Leah just as much she enjoyed the love they poured on her., we received every day video/picture update on how our Leah was doing while we were away which helped us have a relaxed less anxious family trip knowing that she is in good hands., I would definitely go with her for my future needs with Leah’s boarding or dog sitting and can be assured that she will be taken care of well . Highly recommend her for big dogs . She was very good with our Akita who is a big dog .”

“I do not know what we would do if we have not found Nathalie! She is caring, responsive, always there when you need her help, and our Lab loves staying with her and her family. Thank you Nathalie!”
“Sarah is amazing - we needed a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she responded quickly and made sure to ask all the right questions to be prepared for whatever our pup needed. When we brought him for drop off, he took to her immediately! Sarah sent pictures and updates each day that made us feel so much better while being away. You could tell it was a vacation for him as well. Overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah!”
“My pup was so happy during her long stay with Jingyi! I got so many updates and photos and I’m really pleased with how flexible she was with drop off and pickup times. She was such a great communicator and I know my pup was really happy to be there.”

Caitlin was excellent! She took our dog for multiple walks, made sure he was comfortable at her home, and sent us lots of great pictures and updates during our trip. We felt very secure knowing Caitlin was watching our dog and will definitely be hiring her in the future!
So happy to have found John! He took extremely good care of my little velcro dog, while I recovered from knee surgery. He was in contact with updates & photos everyday, which is important to me. I miss that pup like crazy when she’s not next to me! She went on tons of walks & John paid extra attention to her when she was anxious about being away from home (me). John is truly a kind soul.
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!
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in West Orange is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $79 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.
There are 14,383 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in West Orange. About 88% of West Orange sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
