Thank you again and we definitely will booked her again”
“Winston had another wonderful stay with Marlene for 5 overnights. Marlene's communication is excellent and we are so thankful to how attentive she is to our Winston while he is in her care. Marlene provides daily updates and pictures of Winston and it means the world to us!”
“Megan and Nick and the children are absolutely amazing, they made the day easy and smooth for me and Cosmo. I believe we have found a second home for Cosi, I’m super happy. Big thanks to them 😍!”
“My dogs had another wonderful stay with Lucas & Katherine, this time for two weeks. In fact my senior gal liked it there so much that she almost didn’t want to come back with me. I think for a pet parent that best and most positive sign that their furbabies were well cared for!!! They sent me lots of photos of my dogs snuggled under blankets or enjoying outdoor times! L & K are the best people and I feel like I can travel with so much less worry and guilt when my dogs are with them.”
“So thankful for Nan and her family for their loving care and love for Ichigo! She sent me updates along with photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me a big relief. She was content and calm when I came to pick her up, I can tell that she received plenty love and attention.”
“I had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and sending pictures so I could see how my dog was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in good hands. She administered his insulin without any issues and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. I truly felt that my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I will absolutely be rebooking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Celeste was amazing to work with! I left on a trip and had no one to watch my dog Mika so I had Celeste take care of her for 1 week. Celeste was genuinely excited to watch Mika and she made sure to give lots of attention and affection. She created a comfortable environment and Mika quickly got used to staying in a different house. I received daily updates and photos and was 100% confident that Mika was in the right hands. 10/10 experience and I would not hesitate to leave Mika with Celeste again in the future.”
“Maisha is the best sitter ever!!! She does an amazing job taking care of my dog. He always has so much fun with her and his furry friends. She does a great job of keeping you updated throughout their stay as well. Her home is very nice and clean so you don’t have to worry if your pup is in a clean environment. 10/10 recommend.”
“Jordy T. took excellent care of my dog, Beanz! From the moment I booked, Jordy was responsive, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Beanz looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I was so impressed with the experience that I’m already rebooking with Jordy again this weekend! I highly recommend Jordy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter.”

About: I’m a patient, organized, and gentle person when it comes to pets. I’m detailed oriented and cleanliness is a big part of my nature to ensure a neat environment and safety is ensured for all pets and others. Pet care fits into my routine due to my high energy and love for physical activity whether it be playing with pets or going for long walks. Exercise is important to me so walking with my own dog helps each other out greatly. I care for all pets similar to my own dog with gentleness to ensure safety and the well-being of their health. I spend most of my free time caring for my dog when I have the availability aside from work and school.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have had both dogs and cats for over 25 years. My husband, James, also grew up with dogs and has been around them his whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of both of our lives! I’m the primary sitter and handle all bookings, but James occasionally joins me for walks and visits, which can be especially helpful for households with multiple dogs. We’ve both been around pets with all different personalities, sizes, and routines, and we currently have two cats of our own. One is on a prescription diet, so I’m very comfortable following specific feeding instructions and routines. We know how important it is to feel comfortable with who’s caring for your pets, and we always want them to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work remotely full-time, aside from occasional in-office days and work travel, which gives me flexibility for morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend visits. I keep my availability up to date and always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and be in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a recap after each visit so you know how everything went.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westfield
We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for Piper during her recovery from major surgery. Leaving her for four nights was nerve-wracking, but Na made it easy from the start. Piper ate wholesome, nourishing meals the whole time, and Na even treated her to organic goodies after asking us for permission. We got multiple photos and updates every day, so we always knew how she was doing. We were not worried at all because we knew she was in the very best hands. Most of all, you could tell Piper was showered with love. She came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. Na was attentive, kind, and communicative, which is exactly what you want when your dog is healing. We're so grateful and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!
Michelle was so great with our dog Benji, we’ve already had 2 stays with her! Communication and pickup/drop off were all a breeze. We always prefer to leave our dog in a home rather than boarding, and Michelle and her family have the perfect home to share with furry family! We will definitely rebook the next time we go away.
Celeste took incredible care of our 12-year-old pup while we were away. Our dog is naturally very anxious, but Celeste was so sweet, calm, and patient that our dog warmed up right away. The updates and photos kept us reassured the whole time. If you have a dog who needs extra tenderness, Celeste is the person to call!
My dog loves boarding here! He’s stayed twice and both times came home happy and well loved. I received plenty of photo updates throughout his stay and always knew he was being well taken care of. He needs pills with his meals and that was never a problem. My dog can’t wait to go back!
Rosary was so great with our 5 year old dog, Allen. He’s a rescue and is hesitant with new people, but Rosary was extra gentle and loving with him. She even cooked him meals daily without me asking! I think our dog was actually sad to come home! We will definitely book again and highly recommend.
Richard and Kate are amazing dog parents and dog sitters, I left my pup with them for a week , they took very good care of him and treated him as their own. They sent regular updates and pictures and i could enjoy my vacation without any worries. I am lucky to find them here and will consider them for my future travels too.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westfield is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $80 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.

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.
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 Westfield 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 Westfield 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 Westfield.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westfield. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Westfield 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
