“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“Heidy was great! She took care of my pup Lady when I had to travel for a last-minute trip and it was incredibly easy. She’s easy to communicate with and I think Lady had a good time.”
“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! ❤️”
“Ksenia gave our loved and spoiled precious Benny amazing care, attention, and customized approach. We received great communication for all four days consistently and he was well taken care of. Recommend without hesitation.”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog! Her correspondence was great and we knew our dog was in the best care the whole time we were away! Highly recommend her, she is lovely!”
“Desi and Marilyn were so kind and patient with Mia. Mia doesn’t like being away from her family, but I was happy to know that she was safe and sound at Desi and Marilyn’s home. Their yard was nicely set up for the dogs, and they had everything neat and organized.”
“Karla was amazing! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to watch their dog. I have an 80 pound Bernedoodle who is 1 year old- which can be quite a handful lol. Karla sent me photos of him all throughout the stay. She has a backyard so he was running and playing all day. I picked him up an hour ago and he’s already sleeping like a baby. Karla is incredibly kind and trustworthy. She even gave us a card with pictures of our Apollo along with some gifts🥹 thank you Karla! I will definitely be using her services again whenever I go away.”
“Enis is great - he helped me with last minute boarding of my dog and took good care of him. He administered special diet and all of our requests. We constantly received pictures and videos of our furry baby and that was very reassuring. Will definitely board with Enis again. Thank you Enis! :)”
“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!”
“I’ve had some cat sitters before, but Xunzi is definitely the best! She is responsible, professional, the real animal lover! She gave my cat, Tobi, a kind loving care; Tobi was so comfortable staying at her place. Thank you so much, Xunzi!”
“Cathy is the BEST sitter! My my little dog loves staying with Cathy and her family. She sends detailed updates every day and lets us know how she's doing. She is also very familiar with our local resources. She is the only sitter I ever want to use.”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”
“I can't say enough good things about Andrew, and how he took care of Vasya. First off, he was very accommodating with our last-minute boarding request, and was flexible with coordinating our drop-off and pickup times. Throughout Vasya's stay he maintained impeccable communication, sending multiple photos and videos showing all the fun she was having. He took her out for frequent walks, and even a few runs (which he cleared with me in advance, of course). He asked lots of questions to make sure that he was clear on what to expect with Vasya - her likes, dislikes, habits and temperament - and our expectations. When you meet him, you will know that your dog is in very capable hands and will be well cared-for. Thank you, Andrew!”
“Florence is a sweetheart and took great care of Paco. She sent daily updates with adorable pictures and videos of my pup. 10 out of 10! Will definitely book with Florence again!”
“Mari was an AMAZING dog sitter. We left our two senior big dogs with her for a week, our "Golden Girls" as she called them (yes, the name will stick!) Within ten minutes of a meet-and-greet prior to our vacation, I knew that I could trust my girls with her. She kept in touch and checked in with us daily while we were away. Her daily videos were very nice for my son as well as he missed our dogs a lot. She also went above and beyond and brought our dogs to us when we landed as she knew we would be tired from our travels. This was so awesome. I will definitely use Mari in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care well for their fur babies.”

We had a great experience with Evelyn! My girlfriend and I met Evelyn and her husband for a meet and greet a few days before the booking, and we were immediately impressed by their beautiful, dog-friendly home and backyard. We also got to meet their sweet dog, Mango, who is a friendly boy and they played all day. The booking itself went smoothly, and Evelyn was fantastic about providing constant updates and photos throughout Gigi’s stay. It was clear that Gigi was being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We would happily book with her again!
Kun and Jinny were amazing with our maltipoo and cavapoo! We were very comfortable leaving our two dogs under their care, and communication was excellent with frequent updates. Our maltipoo can be sensitive around new people but he was comfortable, well rested and had a great time playing with their dog Som :) I highly recommend and will be booking with them again in the future. Thank you Kun and Jinny!
Christina truly went above and beyond with my dog Sammy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sammy can be very nervous around new people and takes time and patience to become comfortable, and Christina and her husband were incredibly understanding and respectful of his boundaries from the very beginning. She kept me consistently updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind, and I could tell she was genuinely paying attention to how he was feeling and adjusting her approach accordingly. She was patient, compassionate, communicative, and took all of the information I gave her about Sammy’s routine and temperament seriously. This was a big step for both Sammy and me, and Christina made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. I’m extremely grateful for the care and effort she put into making him feel safe and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her with Sammy again and highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a dog who may need a little extra patience and understanding.
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! ❤️🐾
We left Reggie in Ankita’s care for two weeks while we were abroad. Since then, she’s also been helping us with doggy daycare. She kept us updated throughout the trip, sending regular snaps and videos that really helped ease our nerves. Ankita is an excellent communicator—she’s very careful with the puppies and respectful toward their parents. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy daycare or boarding. Thank you so much, Ankita!
We had such a great experience with Juan. This was our first time leaving Teddy with them and Juan made us feel very comfortable. He took great care of Teddy and sent us pictures and updates which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so reassuring to see that Teddy was doing well and being well cared for. We’re very thankful to Juan and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Teddy with them again.
Allison took great care of my dog, Quinn. Quinn is a senior dog who can be a little anxious, and Allison kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. She also has a fenced in backyard, which Quinn really enjoyed. Thank you for taking such good care of her!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Fair Lawn
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fair Lawn is $50 per night as of October 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. 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 13,745 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fair Lawn. 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 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 , 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.
