“This was my first time using rover and I could not have been happier. Fiona was so sweet and treated my Lucy like her own! I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. I’ll definitely be using her again!!”
“Chris did an awesome treating my dog as his own!! He never books more than 1 dog while sitting and my dog got a long great with his. He sent updates to keep my family at ease. I will definitely be using him in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!!”
“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”
“Rocky loves staying with Kathryn and her family. She is very attentive, keeps me updated and also sends me pictures. I always feel at ease leaving him with her because I know he’s being very well taken care of. I’ve been taking Rocky to her for a while now and will continue to do so, I definitely recommend her :)”
“Gabriela took such amazing care of our dog this weekend. She kept us up to date with plenty of pictures and updates the entire time she had Hope. Can’t wait till out next visit to her and her amazing family. Highly recommended sitter. Would absolutely rebook the next time we need someone to take care of Hope. Wonderful sitter and took simply the best care of our dog while we were away.”
“I'm so glad I found Jake and Mischa! My dog came back after a 5-day stay exhausted and happy. She was well taken care of and I didn't have to worry at all, so communicative and genuinely care”
“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.”
“10/10 every time. Carol and her family take the absolute best care of Max we could ever ask for. Their home has become our dog's vacation home while we are away! Thank you so much for all you do and for making us feel comfortable and worry-free while he's with you.”
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”
“Daniel watched our one and a half year old cockapoo for a long weekend. Our pup had a great time. Daniel sent daily updates and took him for walks. There is a fenced in yard which was great too! We will definitely book again for future trips.”
About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, now only working part time. I am available for your pet care needs early morning, early afternoon, & evenings. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Melissa did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Melo. I went away for the weekend and was able to book with her a week before. She introduced my dog to her other animals for the first time and I think he was so happy to have other furry friends for the weekend. Melissa was super clear and communicative throughout. I loved seeing the photos and videos every few hours so I always felt like melo was in good hands. She also had a print out award and treat for Melo after his stay which was so sweet. Thanks again Melissa for watching Melo :)”
“I was very pleased with the boarding service provided by Nina M. The pictures and videos were great and I felt very comfortable knowing Luna was being well taken care of. I would highly recommend this Rover sitter.”
“Irem and her husband did a wonderful job in caring for our 3 month old puppy for a few nights. Irem was in constant contact and gave timely updates of our pup’s stay. You can tell she genuinely enjoyed having our puppy at her home and took thoughtful care of him. We will absolutely be using Irem again!”
“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”
“Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.”

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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Highland Lakes on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,573 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Highland Lakes sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Highland Lakes landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Highland Lakes home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
