“Nina was super accommodating with drop off /late pickup and very prompt in communication. Nina’s place is in close proximity to mountain creek resort and will certainly consider next time around.”
“We’ll definitely book with Morgan again. She was ready outside for us and took Beth right into the fenced-in backyard for an easy drop off for me and easy transition for Beth. She got to play with other dogs during her stay, and came home happy and tired. Morgan let me know how Beth was doing and took a photo for the end of the day. I felt confident Beth was safe and well caree for. I like that the house was at the end of a dead end on a side street.”

“Jennifer had my dog for two days of daycare in a row. I thought she did an excellent job and had had the feeling that she was really looking out for my dog’s needs and very concerned for his well-being. She had two very friendly dogs of her own for him to hang out with as well. It’s very clear that she has a deep compassion for animals and for their well-being and I would trust her with your Pup as well.”
About: I have over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve supported dogs through daily care, feeding routines, long walks, playtime, medication administration, and providing comfort while their owners are away. I’m highly intuitive, attentive, and patient, making animals feel safe, calm, and cared for in their own environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in adapting my care to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves adventure or a more sensitive pet who needs a gentle presence, I create a nurturing, reliable experience for both pets and their owners. I offer a flexible schedule and am available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight care. I’m open to weekday and weekend bookings and can accommodate consistent routines or last-minute requests when needed. I provide an attentive, respectful care in clients’ homes, following routines closely, maintaining a calm environment, and ensuring pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and secure.

About: I have dog sat many times and am experienced with many breeds from the smaller pups to the larger ones. I look forward to meeting you and your pup(s). I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to my 13-month-old child, which allows me the flexibility and availability to add dog-sitting to my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for visiting pups. I have a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe and secure space for dogs to play and relax. When I dog-sit, visiting dogs are welcome to interact with my own dogs as long as they are dog-friendly and show appropriate behavior. I always prioritize safe and positive introductions to ensure everyone gets along well.
“Julia was so amazing with my 4 month old puppy Hawthorne. She invited me into her home to show me the space and it made me feel so much more at ease. She was very communicative and shared lots of updates during his stay. I’m looking forward to booking with her again very soon!”
“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”
“Cindy was great! She was able to take wilson last notice and was very thorough making sure she knew his feeding and potty schedule. Her daughters were wonderful playing with him and petting him too! Highly recommend”
About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!

“It was my first time leaving my baby with anyone. Amy was very pleasant and my pup loved her the moment she came to greet him. He went crazy with her family and her own pups. I picked up a calm dog which is never the case with my baby, hes always extra excited to see me, so that means he was OK, he had fun and wasn't nervous/concerned while in her care which was a huge relieve for me. Looks like he had a good time there. Highly recommend.”
“I was passing thru the area and wanted to make a brief stop to see the lilacs at the NJ Botanical Gardens. Since I read that dogs were not allowed, I needed to find a trustworthy sitter nearby. Wenxin to the rescue! She was so sweet and attentive, and my shy Havanese quickly warmed up to her. Should I ever be in the area again, I will definitely bring Cleo back!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Highland Lakes commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,263 sitters in Highland Lakes, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
