“Sue is a great sitter who was very accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. She followed our instructions and put our minds at ease and provided plenty of photos and updates on how our pup was doing. Will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future!”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”

“Bydette and family were awesome! Right from the start, they were communicative and friendly. Once we dropped off our pup, the great experience continued... we received daily updates (w/ video) on how he was doing with their super-friendly children and other dogs. It made us feel great and set us at ease on our vacation. Highly recommended!”
“10/10 every time. Carol and her family take the absolute best care of Max we could ever ask for. Their home has become our dog's vacation home while we are away! Thank you so much for all you do and for making us feel comfortable and worry-free while he's with you.”

“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
“Cherie and her family took great care of our furry baby. .they provided a nice safe place for him while away from home. He looked very happy when I picked him up.

Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home.

About: I’ve always loved dogs growing up and have taken care of my family’s dog for many years! I’ve looked after many of my friends and relatives dogs as well. I even enjoyed volunteering at the animal shelter for a while. I’m young and active and would love to take your pet on walks! I’ll make sure your pet is happy as possible :))) I’m currently a student so my schedule varies, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I’ll answer as soon as possible! I’ll make sure your pet feels at home and will allow your pet to roam in my house freely. For boarding your dog is welcome to sleep on my bed as well :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend Michele highly enough! From our very first meet and greet, I knew Rosie would be in wonderful hands. Michele was warm, professional and took the time to learn everything about Rosie's routine, including her medication and all of the little details that help her feel comfortable. While I was away, Michele sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Every photo showed Rosie looking happy, relaxed, cozy, and completely at home. The best part came when I picked Rosie up. She was excited to see me of course, but as soon as Michele walked away to grab Rosie's belongings, Rosie actually ran after her! As a dog owner, I don't think there's a better compliment than that. It showed me just how comfortable, loved, and secure Rosie felt during her stay. Michele exceeded every expectation. She is kind, attentive and dependable I would trust her with Rosie again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Alka is my pup’s and my new favorite person! I am so thankful I found someone I trust to take care of my Yorkie, Clover. As the owner of a recently adopted 8 year old Yorkie with a few health issues , leaving him with someone new was stressful. Alka immediately put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. He looked so happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved❤️. I couldn’t recommend Alka more highly.
Mike did an outstanding job caring for our two Goldendoodles while we were away. From the start, he was communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were comfortable and happy. He followed their routine closely, paid attention to all of their needs, and kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and plenty of pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Most importantly, our dogs had an amazing time with him. It was obvious from the updates and from how happy and relaxed they were when we got home that they were well cared for and genuinely enjoyed their stay. We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care Mike provided and would not hesitate to book with him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter.
Rex always enjoys his time Trevor, Bydette, and their kids. He loves being in a family home, getting to meet and play with a few other dogs, and get outside in their grassy yard. We feel confident while we're away that he is not only cared as an individual pup, but he is enjoyed by the family as well!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Gabriel took such amazing care of our Moon, while we were away. From the very first message, he was friendly, communicative, and clearly experienced. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much attention and affection our baby was getting. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Moon was in such good hands. When we came home, Moon was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Gabriel again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly reliable and caring sitter!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Whippany on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,441 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Whippany. 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 Whippany 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 Whippany 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 Whippany 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 Whippany.
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 Whippany 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.
