“Rhinesca took great care of our guy while we were away. We received updates on his daily walks and he was so happy. We were worried he would not want to come home. In the future we will certainly book another stay.”
“Ann was amazing with my dog, Mocha, during an overnight stay! She took such great care of her and made me feel completely at ease. Her communication was outstanding — I received updates and knew Mocha was in great hands the whole time. It’s clear Ann truly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Cathy is the absolute best and will always be my top choice! she sends the cutest updates and i can tell my ducky has the best time with her! You can tell she genuinely cares for your dogs and you can guarantee they’ll have a blast. definitely would recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“We had such a great experience with Michaelangelo! We had a last-minute need for someone to watch our almost 2-year-old Boxer, Walter, who is VERY energetic and has some separation anxiety. Michaelangelo said yes without hesitation, which we really appreciated. He has two Pomeranians of his own and a great fenced-in yard where Walter could run around and get all of his energy out. Michaelangelo sent us pictures and updates every day, which really helped us feel comfortable knowing Walter was doing well. He was also very quick to respond anytime I had a question. Walter had a great time and came home happy! We’re so happy we found Michaelangelo and would definitely recommend him to our family and friends. We will absolutely use him again! ❤️”
“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!”
“Brittany was a superstar caregiver. She communicated regularly and clearly about her availability and then with status checks. Lola was very happy with her- she wanted to stay longer! I would definitely recommend Brittany.”
“Christina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Aeli watching our dog, Callie! We went on an almost 2 week vacation and Aeli made Callie feel comfortable so quickly! She is so kind heartened and attentive to the dogs she watches, sends pictures or videos everyday, and has 2 adorable dogs that Callie loved playing with! Thank you Aeli for making our hearts so full with your immense care!”
“It was a pleasure working with Matthew! He is an excellent communicator and was very flexible with our schedule. He took wonderful care of Summer, providing regular photo updates and real-time feedback that gave me complete peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Paola is EXCELLENT!!! Our Pogi felt the love of Paola and her daughters. Paola gave us constant updates and pictures of Pogi that made us at peace. We highly recommend Paola! THE BEST!!!”
“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.”
“Peiyi is responsive and very flexible at drop-off and pick-up time, she took care of Ginger really well and Ginger enjoyed his boarding time very much, will definitely get back to Peiyi next time for boarding!”
“Henry and Kyungwon did an excellent job watching Coco. They made sure her medicine was given on time and sent regular updates. Coco was calm and content when we returned. We plan to use Henry and Kyungwon again.”
“Lauryn is amazing. I had an emergency out of town and had to book her last minute. Not only was she welcoming to my two pooches, she treated them like her own. I wasn't sure of my return date and had to keep extended her services. She was understanding and gracious, also putting other fears at ease with staying well communicated and sending me updates with pics of my dogs. She truly understands they are like family. I highly recommend her!”
“Melissa and her family are the absolute BEST!!!! My dog absolutely loves going to their home and being entertained, loved and treated like a princess. I can't say enough good things!”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Lincoln and I are so lucky to have found Tammy. He has really bonded with Tammy and her dog's. He feels so relaxed and at home there! It makes traveling out of the area so much easier when you know your fur baby is safe and happy!”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Elizabeth and Oleg and will continue to use them anytime I visit my family on the east coast and need a sitter. They’re trustworthy, communicative, and my dog now gets excited to go stay with them.”

We've used Ann's in-home dog sitting several times now for our Mini Goldendoodle, Penny, and every experience has been great. Ann is incredibly responsive — she always answers questions quickly and puts us at ease when we're away. She sends regular updates and photos while Penny's in her care, so we never have to wonder how things are going. Most importantly, she's completely reliable; we know we can count on her every time we book. Highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative dog 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!
Oakley has been going to Cathy’s house for many years and definitely loves his time away from home there. He is always made comfortable by Cathy and her family and has a good time while he is at her house. Cathy went above and beyond this visit as Oakley was taking a slew of medications for a tummy issue and Cathy made sure he didn’t miss any of them! As always, a great experience and much love at Cathy’s house.
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 for Dog Boarding in Westwood on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 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 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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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 Westwood 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 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 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.
