“Once again Bhavani was a perfect host for our Bernedoodle. She followed all our instructions and special requests and sent us video/pictures updates several times a day, so we were always informed and at ease during our vacation. We could not be happier with Bhavani’s services and will definitely use her again for our next trip out of town.”

“From the moment we met Kajal, her family, and her sweet dog Nala, we knew Toby was going to be in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive throughout the entire stay — sending regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of the country. What truly sets Kajal apart is how naturally she treats every dog like family. Toby has had sitters before, but we have never seen him this relaxed, happy, and at ease with anyone outside of home. He fit right in with Kajal's family and Nala, and honestly? He almost seemed a little sad to come back — which, as a pet parent, is the highest compliment you can give a sitter. It is incredibly rare to find someone who matches the love and care you pour into your own dog, and Kajal does exactly that. Toby is more than a pet to us he's family — and she treated him no differently. I would recommend Kajal without a single hesitation, not just for Toby, but for any dog lucky enough to stay with her. If you're looking for a sitter who will love your pup like their own, look no further!”

“Bonnie and her family are amazing! Sesame is an anxious baby, but everyone in her family gave him so much love and hugs that he immediately settled in. Bonnie shared many photos with me throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. She was also very communicative, especially about his meals, since he’s a picky eater who’s not very good about finishing his food. She and her family really went above and beyond to care for him! I would totally stay with her again!!!”

“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ,she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”

“Would highly recommend Yvette as a dog sitter! I left my 11 year old dog Ziggy with her for a week while I was on vacation and I could tell from the daily pictures and videos that she sent me how much Ziggy felt like he was at home. Normally when I get back from a trip Ziggy is overly excited to see me but he was calm and happy when I picked him up which I think speaks to how much he was cared for and how at ease he felt all week. We will definitely be returning clients, thank you Yvette!!!”

From the start, him and his wife were incredibly communicative in sending us regular updates, pictures, and even videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pup was having a blast and being very well taken care of. Their dog Kaju was great company for our dog Bruno. They were also extremely knowledgeable about dogs and handled everything with confidence and care.. Bruno got plenty of playtime, attention, and love, and we could tell he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Raj again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for most of my adult years, and I genuinely love being around them! I’ve cared for small and medium sized dogs, but dogs of all sizes are welcome. I enjoy making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, love, and exercise while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, getting some zoomies out, enjoying mealtime, or just relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to keep your pup happy and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m always happy to follow their normal schedule and any special instructions you provide. I currently work full time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can often accommodate last minute requests. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby will have plenty of attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet will be welcomed into a loving, comfortable, and pet friendly apartment home! I have a mini Schnauzer of my own who is friendly, playful, and full of personality. He loves having a furry friend around! I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and relaxation time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My home is a place where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family!

About: I currently cat/dog-sit for all of my friends, family, and extended family's pets. I recently lost my own boy, Bowie, who was a 100-lb rescue in May. I am well accustomed to bigger dogs, but also love taking care of the little ones and cats as well! I can also help with basic training commands, medication administration, and any special meal preparation that is needed. Now booking any holiday needs! I work from home full time Monday-Friday, so I'm able to care to their needs throughout the day, in between meetings! This schedule also allows me to focus on evening and weekend coverage for your date nights, quick trips, and weekend getaways! I have no pets of my own currently and have plenty of grass/dog park within my neighborhood. As long as your pet is potty trained, they would have full access to the couch/bed!

Shannon was AMAZING with our pup! She sent us pics and funny updates throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing that he was being taken cared of. She took him on tons of walks and to the fenced in dog park. She also let him make himself comfy on her couch and bed so he was cozy. I would definitely recommend Shannon and will definitely book with her again if she is available.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Highland Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Highland Park on Rover is $42.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,613 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Highland Park. 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.

96% of Highland Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park.

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 Park 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.
