“I’m so glad I chose this sitter for Buddy! They gave me prompt and detailed updates exactly the way I’d requested, along with plenty of pictures that really put me at ease while I was away. I could tell from the photos and messages that Buddy was happy and well taken care of. They’re such sweet, responsible people, and I could truly relax knowing my little one was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve used Liz multiple times for my golden retriever and will continue using her for pet sitting. My dog always enjoys staying there. Liz is very accommodating and always sends pictures/updates each day.”
“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.”
“Ksenia was awesome! Got tons of pictures and check ins on my kitty and Chicken looked like she was living her best life! Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“We recently moved to the area and after an extensive search on Rover for sitters decided to meet with Raymond for an in person interview. We were immediately impressed with his willingness to meet and greet Sonny our English bulldog and it was clear there was a match. Shortly thereafter we booked his first stay and are certain Sonny felt like part of the family because Raymond sent pictures of him laying in the living room and in the evening he was resting in his crate (he loves to sleep in his crate) which was also kept in the family room. Throughout the day Raymond was kind enough to send pictures of Sonny playing in backyard and most importantly ensured that he received his medication daily and took great precautions to adhere to his strict diet given his skin allergies. Highly recommend Raymond and have already booked a number of upcoming stays. Great job Raymond we appreciate YOU!”
“Highly recommend Teresa. She took amazing care of Coco providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. Coco came home happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Peiyi took amazing care of my dog while I was away and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. She was reliable and communicated with us often throughout her stay with her. We definitely recommend her for anyone.”
“Karla was wonderful. Great communication, super fast replies, oodles of pictures sent, and just a really great vibe. Ramona clearly had a wonderful time during her stay and she came home clean and happy. We will not hesitate to book again with Karla!”
“I can't thank Enis enough for watching my dog Winnie on 12/28-12/30. Enis was very professional and answered all of our questions and concerns. He sent us photos and updates of our dog and was also nice enough to my bring my dog to our wedding venue in Clifton so I could get some photos with her. I would highly recommend Enis to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. I definitely plan to use him again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Hands down the best person we’ve ever dealt with! She is so sweet and attentive. Has taken such good care of our Teddy and has updated us along the way with so many pictures. Can’t recommend her enough. This is the only person we will ever deal with going forward.”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Being a first time Rover subscriber, I was very anxious and worried about leaving my precious babies to someone whom I haven’t mer yet.I went to look at many sitters and their reviews.Michelle understood my queries, her gracious response regarding my trepidations proved what a kind and caring person she is.She sent me photos and videos, kept me updated and treated my babies like hers.Another bonus is her adorable and ever so gentle baby (dog) Delilah who was ever so patient and playful with my babies.My babies were with Michelle and Delilah for 11 days and that was the best decision that I have made.I will definitely come back and ask Michelle to take care of them whenever I’m out of town.Being a furmom herself, she will treat any pets like her own.I can telll my dogs liked her a lot and that makes me feel at ease. Thank you so much Michelle, you are the best!!!”
“Sandra and San were absolutely incredible with Leo! We left him with them for 5 nights and felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. They were so warm, kind, and caring, and I really appreciated how much effort they made to get to know Leo beforehand and understand his personality and routine. It really showed how responsible and thoughtful they are as sitters. Leo got tons of walks, playtime with Penny, and plenty of room to run around in their big fenced-in yard. We loved all the photos and videos and could tell he was having such a great time. They were also so easy to communicate with, which made everything completely stress-free. We’d absolutely have Leo stay with them again and HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“My dogs were in good hands from the get go. I got videos and pictures, updates throughout the day. All the extra stuff was taken care of, I didn't even worry for a minute. Truly lucky we found such an awesome accomodation, I'm sad we are moving otherwise I'd book again!”
“Janise and her family took excellent care of my girl Moni. She sent regular updates and was quick to reply to my messages. Her home is in a nice neighborhood with a really nice sized yard with a fence that closes securely. Her dog Frankie is a sweet girl who got a long great with my pup. I was out of the country for a week and never once worried about my pup being safe and well cared for! I would happily leave my dog with her again and anyone reading this review can book her with confidence that your dog will be well cared for and safe.”
“Yuberkis is great! Our dogs loved staying with her and her dog. She is excellent at keeping you updated on how your dogs are doing and sending pics! She is very responsive and flexible. We will definitely send our two boys there to stay with her again.”

Ksenia is wonderful! Clearly very caring and capable! Very interested in learning as much as possible about her pet-guests to make their time with her enjoyable. Great communication and photo updates. Knowing our dog, Peggy, was in such a loving home made our 11-day vacation so much more relaxing and stress-free! Book Ksenia with complete confidence!
Nala is very shy at the beginning when she meets a new person and sometimes barks at them because she's scared. Michelle did a great job on getting Nala to feel comfortable and play with her dog and boyfriend because at the beginning Nala didn't like neither one lol. Michelle send videos and updates and we communicated regarding Nala's progress. I already booked another stay with Michelle for my next trip.
Michele is amazing! Despite a last minute reservation, she arrived shortly after the booking and picked up our dog when our original plan failed. Michele was excellent with communicating and sending daily photos and videos. I can’t say enough great things about Michele and her family. Thank you so much for caring for our dog, as if he were your own! We will book with her again without hesitation.
I am so thrilled with the care that Ankita and her family gave to our dog! She really cares about her clients and gives them personalized care. She sent us photos updates a few times a day, even video updates showing our dog having a great time. Before our boarding session, we had a meet-and-greet so she could get to know us and our dog, and discuss how things would go; this was fantastic and made me feel very confident leaving my dog in her care. I will book again with Ankita without hesitation and I recommend her very highly! 5 stars!
Kun was amazing with my pup and their dog Som is so sweet. My dog Willow was clearly well taken care of! I loved all of the videos and pictures that were sent to me throughout her stay. I would definitely book Kun and Jinny again knowing my dog was in such good hands
Florence was amazing with Enzo! She kept me updated throughout his stay, sent me pictures, and took such great care of him. I felt very comfortable knowing Enzo was in good hands while I was away. He seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with Florence again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fair Lawn is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $70 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 Fair Lawn 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 Fair Lawn 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 Fair Lawn.
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 Fair Lawn. 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 Fair Lawn 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.
