About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for and training both dogs and cats, so being around animals just feels natural to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ve cared for everything from high energy puppies to anxious dogs and sweet senior pets. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy going on regular walks, so I’m able to provide dogs with consistent exercise, attention, and outdoor time. I take pride in creating a safe, caring, and reliable experience for every pet I look after. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.
“I hadn't used Rover in a long time and I'm so glad I did. Joceline was amazing with my doggie! You can tell she has a lot of experience and genuinely loves what she does. She sent me videos and pictures throughout the stay and my Stormi looked so comfortable and happy with her and her children. I'm so glad I came across her and will definitely be booking with her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our pup! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. She sent us multiple pictures daily to ease our minds that our buddy was in good hands. He loved his time there with Stephanie and Toby so much that he didn’t want to come back home with us 🤣”
“Vivian and her hubby always take wonderful care of Stormy and provide great communication! They were available last minute and I am so grateful! We will keep using them! Thank you!”

“Theo was so happy when we picked him up! We’re so glad we found our go-to sitter in the city. Michael and his wife kept us updated with great communication and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Theo was well cared for and having a great time. We would absolutely book with them again in the future! 🐾😊”
“Jada was excellent taking care of my dog Coco. She kept sending me photos, Even though Coco made a mess on her bed, I’m so sorry about that, Jada. But if I go away again, I would definitely leave my dog Coco with Jada again. Thank you so much for everything!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
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.
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 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 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.
