“Laura and family were fantastic with our older pup Conor. We first did a meet and greet where Laura heard Conor’s needs , asked us questions and took notes. We were kept updated with plenty of of pics and and felt extremely comfortable leaving Conor with this wonderful family . We will use again!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog and I was super nervous. Ann did an unbelievable job. She sent me multiple photos & updates everyday. She also answered my texts immediately. I couldn't possibly be happier with her service. If you are a bit nervous or hesitant like I was, please know that Ann will treat your dog right. I'm 100% going to use her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants assurance that their dog will be in the best hands.”

“Raymond was excellent with Benji, and gave regular updates on how things were going. Benji enjoyed his weekend with Raymond and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much!!”

There are two cozy couches in the living room to snuggle on with their favorite toy.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Aeli watching our dog, Callie! We went on an almost 2 week vacation and Aeli made Callie feel comfortable so quickly! She is so kind heartened and attentive to the dogs she watches, sends pictures or videos everyday, and has 2 adorable dogs that Callie loved playing with! Thank you Aeli for making our hearts so full with your immense care!”

“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.”

“WOW. This is my first time with Brittany. Brittany is amazing. Brittany devoted so much time to Drew. Although Brittany has a fenced in yard, she took our dog on two walks each day. They went to the park. They had movie night together. Brittany is a rare find. When I picked my dog up, you could see how much HE enjoyed staying with Brittany—his tail was wagging, he was smiling (yes, my dog smiles) and he was licking Brittany affectionately as we were saying goodbye. I’ve had a number of other dog sitters, but Brittany just goes the extra mile. Again, she’s incredible and puts all our other sitters to shame. We are definitely spoiled and will use Brittany again anytime we need a sitter.”

“Kun is the best dogsitter out there. We have hired him three times and he has consistently taken excellent care of our Shih-Tzu. He sends us multiple pictures and videos daily and communicates well. We’ll seek him out again next time for our dogsitter needs.”

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”

“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. 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. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”

“This was our first time using a non-family member to watch our pup and honestly it was the best! We were at ease the whole time we were away thanks to Lynn and Marty. They sent pictures and I could tell my dog was so happy. We would use them again in a heartbeat.”


“Lisa is wonderful! She sent us pictures of our pup every couple of days and gave us updates. She is so accommodating and caring. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the near future.”

“We were so happy to have found Jess. We were apprehensive in leaving our fur baby but she set was able to ease our minds. She followed our care instructions to a tee and sent us updates and pictures throughout the visit. This really helped us to see and know she was taking just as good of care as we would. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Kelly was super responsive and friendly and when we met her you could truly see that she is a dog lover. We felt so comfortable leaving Riley with her and her family. She sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend and she always appeared happy. Riley came home exhausted likely from playing with her doodle companions all weekend. Would highly recommend.

Deborah was a lifesaver!!! She came to the rescue last minute when our pet sitter canceled due to a family emergency less than 24 hours before our trip on Christmas!! She made drop off simple, we knew our dog would be in great hands when we saw her yard with a double gate and a large patch of grass cleared from the snow!! She kept in constant contact including pictures and videos to reassure us our dog was safe and sound!! We highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter, she’s absolutely amazing for senior dog needs!!!

There are 13,814 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Franklin Lakes. About 88% of Franklin Lakes sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
