“Carla was wonderful with Finn! He has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been great. She made me feel completely comfortable, but most importantly Finn who is a bit clingy and needs lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Carla for anyone needing pet care :)”

“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“Gabriela was amazing. Got updates on my dog daily and she was great overall! If you are looking for someone great to watch your pet look no further. Muchas gracias Gabriela”

“Angelina was great at watching our new kitten Lucy while we were away. She kept me updated with daily pictures all throughout the day, and answered any question I had. She will make your pet feel loved and safe. ?We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Jadyn was excellent with Max. He was so happy with her. She is awesome and loving with Max. She took pictures and kept us updated. She takes great care of our dog. She is a definitely someone that you can trust with your pets. We will definitely be use her services for the future. I was thrilled with the care she provided for Max.”

“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“Loida went above and beyond for our dog! She made being away feel so much less stressful and always kept us up to date on our dogs activity and health. We will use her again for sure!”

“Thank you Jillian and Andrew for taking care of our 8 month old puppy overnight! It was his first time sleeping out of our apartment, and we are happy that you were so flexible and caring. We loved receiving pictures of him while we were gone!”

“We’ve used Alexis multiple times now, for day cares and boarding. She’s fantastic! The dogs always have a great time and are exhausted afterwards from running around and playing all day. One of our dogs just turned 15 and I’ve witnessed Alexis and her helper be very conscious and protective of her around the other more rambunctious dogs. She’s also super communicative and sweet, always responds to messages quickly, and sends photo updates. I am so happy that we found her!”

“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better experience with the dog sitters who took care of my two furry companions. Their daily picture updates were a delightful touch that kept me reassured and connected throughout my time away. It was evident that they genuinely cared for my dogs' well-being, as each snapshot captured their happiness and comfort!”

“Joe and his family took exceptional care of our two dogs! Communication was excellent from when we first reached out, through Apache and Loki's stay at their wonderful home. Joe's family was attentive to our dogs' needs, and made them feel right at home. They were great with sending pictures at various points throughout the day as well! 100% would book with this wonderful family again!”

“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”

“Mike was absolutely wonderful\! He picked up Judge right on time and delivered him safely and on schedule\. He was incredibly caring and attentive, taking Judge for walks and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire trip\. Judge is a big boy—about five times the size of most dogs—and he slobbers quite a bit\! Despite that, Mike made him feel completely comfortable, safe, and loved\. I truly appreciate the exceptional care Mike gave Judge\. I highly recommend him to any dog owner looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable\. Thank you, Mike\!”


“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”

“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.”

Siobhan was great, kept us informed and was welcoming and loving towards Desmond. We'll definitely be using her again. She really focuses on the dogs, including several of her own. The other dogs might be a problem for a dog who doesn't like other dogs, but for Desmond it was a great opportunity to engage in poochie socializing that he doesn't get to do when he's home with us.

Angelina is awesome - the whole family is! I don’t even think Russty had a bit of anxiety while he was there….honestly, every photo he looked as comfy as he does at home. Oh, photos! At minimum, I got a photo a day (videos, too!!). It made me so happy. She eased all my dog-mom worries and I was able to fully relax. I can’t wait for Russty to stay with them again!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Highland Lakes is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $62 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 1,531 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Highland Lakes. 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.
96% of sitters in Highland Lakes 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 Highland Lakes 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 Highland Lakes.
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 Highland Lakes 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.
