“I can’t thank Carol enough for taking such great care of my fur baby while I was away!! He was very comfortable staying with her and was definitely pampered. I only hope she’s available to watch him any time I need to leave town.”
“My dogs had a wonderful time staying with Kevin and his family. The process was super simple, and Kevin sent plenty of photos of what the pups were up to while we were away. Thank you again!!”
“I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Chris went above and beyond to ensure Izzy was comfortable and happy, and I will definitely be using his services again.”
“Jillian was absolutely wonderful! She was so warm and inviting, and Rosie took to her immediately. She kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Rosie came home happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I could tell she had been very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jillian and would happily trust her with Rosie again!”
“Overall great experience for Mazie & owner! Drop off and pick up were effortless and Mazie was well taken care of in Paul’s home. Would definitely book another stay with Paul!”
“Jonathan was flexible, responsive and easy to work with. He sent photos/video of our dog having lots of time outside, along with some reports on how he was doing. Our dog came home and seemed relaxed and not overly stressed.”
“Marisol was amazing! I even had a last minute family emergency and she was so accommodating and understanding! I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She was always sending me pics and videos of my dog bubba! Thank you so much Marisol!??”
“It was such a great comfort to know that my dog was well taken care of while my family and I were away for a week. Bydette and her family were great. This was the first time that my dog had been away from us for more than a day since we first brought her home and we couldn't be happier about the experience. The daily videos showing a happy pup were something we looked forward to each day and put us at ease. We highly recommend this family!”
“First Impressions Boarding my dog, Lilly, with someone outside the family for the first time made me a little nervous. My granddaughter, who had used Rover before, helped me submit the application and choose a sitter. Even on the way to drop Lilly off, I still felt apprehensive, but that quickly changed when Teresa gave us such a warm welcome and Lilly and I were greeted by Teresa’s three friendly dogs. Although Lilly seemed a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon relaxed after playing in Teresa’s large backyard, and I felt comfortable leaving her there. Updates During Her Stay Teresa reassured me that Lilly would be well cared for and promised to keep me updated. She followed through by sending photos and notes about how Lilly was sleeping, eating, and taking her medicine, which I really appreciated. Pickup and Overall Experience When I picked Lilly up, Teresa told me what a joy she had been to care for. She said Lilly was very sweet, that her daughter had fallen in love with her, and even one of her dogs had taken a liking to her. Teresa also said Lilly would be welcome back anytime. I left feeling grateful for the care Lilly received and would happily trust Teresa with her again.”
“My dog Bella is 9 yrs old and has only ever been left with family. This was our first time using a dog sitter. I couldn’t have been more happy and comfortable leaving my dog with Jessica. She provided her with such great care. And even sent text messages daily letting us know how she was. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Ryan is an excellent dog-sitter. He took great care of our dog, Sydney and sent us lots of pictures of her during her stay with him. She was a very happy and tired pup when we got her home. Highly recommend him!”
“This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.”
“Michele is very responsive and also excellent with keeping us updated on how our 2 furry ones were doing. So glad we found her and our furry ones grew fond of her. We definitely recommend her to others and we will always contact her for our future stays.”
“Auggie and I had an amazing experience with Heather and her family. This was the first time my pup had stayed with anyone new outside of my own family, so I was a little nervous about him being anxious. We did a meet-and-greet the week before, and Heather (and her very sweet family) made me feel completely comfortable and confident. During the stay, I received many fantastic, detailed updates and photos of Auggie’s long weekend of fun. Heather has great, well fenced yard that Auggie enjoyed many zoomies in - even on the day it rained. Auggie can be challenging to walk in public due to some dog reactivity, but Heather took great care to follow the tips I passed along when I dropped him off and I felt totally at ease. 100/10 would (and absolutely will) be returning again!”
“I found her... a GENUINE. CARING. LOVING DOG SITTER! Diana is literally a one in a million gem. Not only did she very kindly accommodate my last minute request - She took such good care of my baby Koko and sent me so many pictures and videos. She was so good with Koko that koko wasn't "anxious" to see me or desperate to leave. Honestly... koko could have stayed with Diana and her family for much longer had the choice been hers lol. It alleviates so much stress when you KNOW your dog is truly so well taken care of and loved on when you're away. I had that feeling with Diana. You'll be SO LUCKY to have her as your sitter. All her dogs are so kind and sweet and well behaved. You wont regret having your dog stay with her.”
“Tracy and Steven were absolutely wonderful! Gigi had the best weekend playing and making friends with the other dogs. I loved receiving frequent photos, videos, and updates showing just how happy she was. It was so comforting knowing she was in such loving, caring hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily leave Gigi with them again. Thank you both for taking such great care of my girl!”
“First time leaving Mollie with Maria. Maria was great! Mollie was not only well cared for, she was very happy and comfortable. Maria is very responsive and sent us lots of pictures and updates. And it was obvious that she actually enjoyed having Mollie as a guest! Would definitely use her again.”

Samantha was absolutely amazing with Major! She cared for him for 5 days, and since it was his first time sleeping away from home, I was a little nervous. She was so patient, caring, and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. She truly treated Major like her own. The best part was that Major even followed her back home when it was time to leave! I highly recommend Samantha and will definitely trust her with Major again!
Vivian and Kathy are very easy to interact with. They have a calm demeaner and my dog who is usually anxious seemed relaxed with them. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and clean. Really appreciated the daily photos. It was our first stay and a long one. We will be returning!
Mylene was awesome with our dog! She kept us updated with lots of pictures, which made us feel so much better while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
We left our energetic working lab with Lana for a week, and once again, she reminded us why we feel so comfortable leaving him with her. She goes to such efforts to keep him stimulated and tired out by the end of the day but also keeping him rested and safe. She always sends videos and photos, and talks about him in a way that we know he is being snuggled and well cared for. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wharton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $71 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 of October 2026, there are 7,435 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wharton. 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 Wharton 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 Wharton 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 Wharton.
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 Wharton 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.
