“Alice and Ethan were absolutely wonderful with my golden retriever. They took such great care of her while I was away for the weekend and made the whole experience stress-free. They sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable she was. It was clear they genuinely cared about her and treated her like one of their own. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring dog sitters!”
“Will definitely book with Ryan again soon! He proactively sent lots of updates and pictures and was responsive whenever I reached out. He indulged my pup in all the cuddles he demanded, and I trust he was in good care :)”
“Euitae was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Euitae was responsive and so so attentive and caring for my senior guy, Jack, taking Jack for lots of walks and adventures in the park, and even a dog café where Jack got to make new friends. I’m so incredibly grateful for Euitae and 1000% recommend him as a sitter! I can’t wait to call Euitae again, Jack had an AMAZING time.”
“Jatna is amazing! So communicative and flexible. Took our pups in with a last minute request and they were so loved. Will absolutely request Jatna in the future!”
“Samantha is such a blessing to my dog and I. I needed care and support watching my toy poodle and she came through!! My dog really likes her! I can tell when I come to pick him up - he has enjoyed his stay! I look forward to booking her again !!”
“Ria is amazing! She has been sitting my pup for the past few months and it's been a great experience. Harris (my pup) is always excited to see both Ria and her partner when I drop him off. Harris has also made a new best friend in her dog as well! 10/10 would recommend you trust your fur baby with Ria.”
“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
“Susan did a great job with Theo. She was very accommodating with a last-minute booking and was very responsive throughout the entire stay. Overall he had a great experience and I would certainly use her services again for boarding in the future!”
“Bridget was wonderful. Zuko, my 14-pound Shihpooh, had a happy and relaxed time in her home. I could tell he was comfy and well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog Jupiter stayed for 10 days with Alanis and Marco. They went well above to take care of Jupiter, taking him to the park several times, sending us videos and photos 3x a day to keep us well updated on everything. It was perfect!!”
“5 STARS!!!! Victor is a loving and talented pet person. He saved me in a last minute travel situation! I have a big & powerful dog who is doing her best to be good & calm, but does not always nail it! He was AMAZING with her!! I could tell that she felt totally comfortable and loved the whole 2 weeks I was gone. He walked her a lot and was very understanding about her special attributes & need to destroy toys. She slept in bed with him & was allowed on the couch, which was really comforting for her. I booked him the day before I left town and he was professional, pleasant & flexible with timing. He obviously has a great connection with animals & is an overall lovely person to communicate with on the daily (he sent pics & videos everyday). This is the first time I have picked her up after being away that she is genuinely happy & chill. Def book him!! I have recommended him to my whole family & all of my loved ones who own dogs. He lives on a quiet street with really wide sidewalks, good if your dog has dog reactivity. Perfect experience from start to finish.”
“My dog had a great weekend with Adam and his dog Hermes! Adam took them out on walks/ dog park multiple times daily, and provided plenty of updates and pics. He even let my dog sleep on the bed! Highly recommend Adam, especially for small dogs!”
“Elena did an amazing job looking after our dog, she was communicative throughout and he came back incredibly happy, well kept and healthy! This was our first time boarding him with a sitter for a long period of time and Elena made the whole experience great. Thank you Elena!”
“Keunyung was great! I am very attached to my BFF so leaving her when I travel is hard but I could see by how she reacted to Keunyung when we visited that they would get along well. Tho I missed her, I could tell by regular texts and videos that she was happy.”
“Katie was an amazing sitter for Sophie! She was so communicative throughout and took great care of our pup. It was clear that Sophie made a connection during their time together and we will definitely be booking with Katie again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities as I have a dog on my own 🐶 — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I live with my friendly mini Goldendoodle 1.5 years, so your pup will have a sweet and social buddy to keep them company (if they’re comfortable with other dogs). I also have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily adjust to your dog’s routine, whether that’s early walks, frequent potty breaks, or just extra cuddle time. I’m experienced in: • Administering oral medication • Senior dog care (gentle handling, slow-paced walks) • Puppy potty breaks • Reading dog body language and energy I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home — and I’m always happy to send photo/video updates while you’re away! 🐕❤️ I’m a stay-at-home wife with a sweet mini Goldendoodle, so my days naturally revolve around dogs! From morning walks to playtime, cuddle sessions, and potty breaks, I’m fully focused on providing a calm, loving, and attentive environment. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pup plenty of time, attention, and care — whether they need regular outdoor breaks, meals on schedule, or just someone to be there so they don’t feel alone. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine — it is my routine, and I truly love it! Having dog makes me happy ❤️❤️❤️ In my home, your pup will enjoy a spacious, pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to play and relax. I have lots of toys and balls for indoor fun, and a nearby fenced park that’s perfect for safe, off-leash running and playtime. I keep a calm, structured routine that includes: • Regular potty breaks • Daily walks and play sessions • Clean, cozy rest areas • Fresh water and meals on time • Lots of love, cuddles, and one-on-one attention If your dog has any special needs or routines, I’m happy to follow them exactly — whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, medication, or bedtime routine. I also send frequent photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing!
“Ivette and her husband took amazing care of Toby! She sent photos and updates every day and he came home to us so happy and well spent from his time with them 🤗 will absolutely use Ivette again!”
“Beyond amazing! Our family was away for an extended period of time and Refine was an amazing fur baby sitter. She sent pictures and videos and was very communicative. It can be difficult as a pet parent to leave your pup with someone you don't know or someone new, but it was such a blessing to be on vacation and feel so comfortable that our baby was being well cared for. I cannot say enough about Refine. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”

Such lovely people! Incredibly kind, mature and even keeled. I felt safe having them watch Chickpea and she really liked them both. They sent regular updates, were very responsive, took the time to read her care document and made reference to it afterwards, and even waited until our Uber pulled off to make sure I had no issue loading all of her stuff in the trunk. Thank you!
Tania was wonderful with Lola! This was my first time using a pet sitter, so I was nervous, but her daily photos and updates really put me at ease. She made the whole experience smooth and helped me enjoy my trip knowing Lola was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!
I feel so lucky to have found Amerah. Kelso and Izzy have stayed with her twice now while I've gone on work trips and I could not imagine leaving them in better hands. My guys are older and have complications, but from the get go, Amerah has been thoughtful, responsive and just all around lovely. Kelso and Izzy, of course, adore her and I'm sure are looking forward to their next visit. Again, counting our lucky stars.
Sally and Ken were FANTASTIC!! Easy to be in touch with and they were so generous to accommodate us with a delayed flight on our return. Sven got his customary walks and even a brushing, and returned home happy as a pickle. We also received the sweetest updates during his stay! Thank you both so much!
We had a wonderful experience with Ariana. She was caring, reliable, and attentive to our puppy’s needs. It was clear that our puppy was in great hands, and we really appreciated the updates (pictures etc.) and peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care provided and would highly recommend Ariana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We would definitely book again! Ariana you rock!!! Thank you!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Binta! She was wonderful, incredibly attentive, and overly accommodating throughout Laila’s entire stay. I absolutely loved the picture updates she sent me—it was such a relief to see Laila so happy and well cared for. Binta made sure Laila was comfortable and treated like family. It’s amazing to find someone so trustworthy and flexible. I’ll definitely be booking with Binta again!
Hannah was amazinggggg! Oliver was very stressed during the first 5 days of his stay and she did everything she could to help him adjust and make him feel comfortable. I truly appreciated all she did as I was in Europe and could only help from afar. Would definitely book with Hannah again!
Chris went above and beyond with taking care of Frida! He sent me so many cute photos and updates so I never worried during my trip that my dog was not only being well taken care of but was having a blast! He also made time to help train her with positive reinforcement.
Susan and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for a few days. I was a little anxious since this was her first time staying with someone outside of family, but they made me feel so reassured. I got cute photos and videos of her with her new dog friends and messages throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I knew she was in great hands the entire time and will definitely reach out to Susan again whenever I need someone to take care of my baby. Thank you both so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fort Lee is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $87 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 14,011 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fort Lee. 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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee.
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 Fort Lee 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.
