“Priscilla is absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful she was free to watch my dog for three nights while we were away. She’s responsive and communicative — and Watson may love her more than he loves me based on the pictures she sent! 😂 I also give her a lot of credit because she watched him during one of the absolute coldest weeks we’ve had in a while and she still braved the arctic temperatures to make sure he got a ton of walks. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Yesenia and her family took great care of my old man Chase. I was really nervous leaving him because he previously injured himself. However Yesenia followed his food and medication schedule to a T and helped speed up his recovery. They always kept in touch with me while I was away by sending pictures and videos. They also answered promptly whenever I was checking in. I will be using Yesenia and her family for my next trip! Thank you so much for a positive experience.”
“Alarie and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. They created such a warm, loving environment for him, and it was clear throughout his stay that he was well cared for. Alarie was highly responsive and shared frequent updates and beautiful photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful to Alarie and her family for treating our pup like one of their own. We would absolutely recommend them and would be very happy to have our pup stay with them again!”
About: Since I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive constant love, attention, and companionship! I’ve loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and growing up with them taught me how to give every pup the best care possible. I treat every pup like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pet. I’m home for most of the day, so your dog will get lots of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. 🐾 My home is a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I always supervise pets closely and make sure they have a safe space to relax, play, and sleep. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I also have my own friendly dog, Evee, who is used to being around other dogs. I always introduce dogs slowly and carefully and make sure they are comfortable with each other. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dog. 🐾❤️
“We had a great experience with her! She was very responsive and sent us photos of my dog every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My dog seemed to have a wonderful time with her, and we really appreciated that she took care of his medications as well. We’re very happy with the care she provided and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Our experience with Mary was EXCELLENT. We had to leave Royal with her for the first time while on vacation because our regular dog sitter was unavailable. Of course we were anxious. Well, she made us feel very safe leaving Royal. She sent us regular updates. She kept him on his feeding and walking schedules. Most of all, Royal was HAPPY. She was caring and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs, not just sits for the money. I will be using Mary in the future and if anyone needs an EXCEPTIONAL dog sitter do not hesitate to use Mary. Your dog will be on vacation while you are too!. I highly recommend her without reservation.”
“Jocelyn sent me videos everyday and helped my dog enjoy her first stay by setting up doggy introductions during playtime. It was very easy to make arrangements with Jocelyn and she handled my dog’s medication needs.”
“Kyungwon and Henry were absolutely wonderful sitters! They were so caring with my pup and paid close attention to every detail of his schedule. Since he’s still a puppy, they took extra care to keep up with his nap times and made sure he was comfortable around their other dogs. They also sent so many photos and videos throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Their communication and thoughtful care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them and would happily have our little one stay again!”
“Lucy is an amazing sitter! My 11 month old toy poodle Timmy loves staying with her. I get plenty of photos and status updates and feel really confident and safe knowing my little guy is in good hands. He’s already spent a few nights with her and I can’t wait to book more!”
“Evelyn and her husband took care of beanie really well! I was a little nervous since I haven’t used rover a lot(new dog parent) and upon meeting them I immediately felt comfortable that beanie was in good hands. Also, beanie immediately got along with their other good natured dogs. They provided a lot of updates with pictures and videos throughout the visit. I highly recommend them and would love to use them for any future events!!!”
“I was looking for a sitter for my dog, Franky, and found Iliana on Rover. If you're looking for a sitter and considering hiring her, look no further and book right now! Her reviews speak for itself, but I will say that Franky did not want to leave her when we picked him up after his 3 night stay! She went above and beyond for Franky, sleeping with him at night, deshedding him, bathed him, took him out to the park. She never left his side, and is very caring to the animals that she watches and 'treats them like family' (her words), which is excellent. She texted us multiple pictures of Franky during his stay, which made us feel that much better, since we never leave Franky alone. That made a stressful time (for both us and Franky) that much more easier. We will definitely book her again.”
“Lisa was very kind and caring with my Junie. She sent me texts and pictures and I was put at ease immediately. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to using her services again.”
“Tae is an excellent dog sitter! Our pup Loki has separation anxiety, but took to Tae quickly and seemed to settle in very nicely. Tae was great with communications, and sent frequent updates and pictures, so we were completely at ease while we were away. Thank you so much! We and Loki appreciate your care!”
“Julia was amazing. She was warm, compasionate and loving to my senior pup. She was accomodating when I had to change the drop off date, and treated Lucy as one of her own. She sent photos frequently, which I loved. Lucy was calm and happy when I came to pick her up. I will definitely use Julia again. Thank you, Julia.”
“First time leaving our precious Sprinkles with a dog sitter and not family - from the minute we dropped her off until she was picked up we felt at peace. Heidy and husband truly love dogs and they kept us informed us at all times with pictures. Will definitely book them again and blessings for such a warm and caring family. THANK YOU! Mil gracias 🙏🏻❤️😍💯🌸”

Aeli is simply amazing!! She was so caring and kind with our Tilly. She was constantly communicating and sending pictures which helped put our mind at ease since it was her first time away from us. We plan on having her stay woth Aeil again in the future, Tilly loved staykng with her and the family and made many new friends!
Mike is amazing. I needed to board my 10 1/2 year old beagle , Kobe on short notice. Within minutes , Mike responded to my request and he was flexible in his schedule . Throughout Kobe’s stay, I received numerous updates from Mike showing how well my fur baby was doing. I was fully at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Mike is not only friendly but highly knowledgeable when it comes to caring for your pet. He took the time to fully understand my dog’s needs and temperament which in turn, helped Kobe to acclimate well to a different environment. I know I will always rely on Mike to care for Kobe.
We had such a wonderful experience! They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. The whole family is so loving and caring, and it’s clear how much they genuinely love dogs. They even prepared extra blankets for Pepper because they were worried he might get cold. They were so thoughtful and attentive to every little detail. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave Pepper and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Brittany and her family were absolutely wonderful with Cooper. From the updates she shared to the care and attention they gave him, we could tell he was genuinely loved and treated like part of their family. Honestly, I think Cooper was a little sad to leave them! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for and loved just as he would be at home with us. Brittany truly became an extension of our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her with Cooper again. Thank you, Brittany and family!
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with her again! :)
Camila is an amazing dog sitter. She has a friendly personality and her husband is just as awesome. They cared and took care of my American bully of 5 years which he warmed up to them wonderfully. Camila always sent picture updates of my dog, which was great to have a good price of mind. I would definitely recommend her services again!
Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westwood is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $67 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 13,675 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westwood. 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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
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 Westwood 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.
