“Grace was a lifesaver, This was very short notice less than 24 hours and my very first time leaving my doggy with a caretake. she was able to help me take care of my doggy while i was away. She even picked him up and dropped him off - he looked very happy and refreshed. I am really happy i found her and will def be using her in my future plans. She communicates all through the process and even sends me pictures of my happy dog all during his stay. Grace thank you again!! you are the BEST!! Looking forward to working with you again. thank you”
“My dog is so well cared for when she’s with Jalisa. The entire family loves on my fur baby so much that sometimes I have to drag her away. I am a repeat customer and will be as long as Jalisa will have us.”
“Letitia was great! She made sure to update me with pics and videos every day. I truly believe Captain enjoyed himself with her dog Bentley, her children and her fenced in backyard. Being that we live in a townhome community Captain doesn’t get the luxury to run around without leash. The best part about Letitia is Captain was the only dog she dog sat during the week bc she respected the fact that he’s not fully vaccinated yet. 😊 I’ll definitely book again! Thank you Letitia.”
“Whitney and Michael took amazing care of Esther. Esther seems to have really enjoyed the stay and was kept entertained and loved by their young daughters. They did a great job of keeping us updated with cute photos. :) 10/10 would recommend Whitney and Michael’s home as a great place to board your dog!”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.”
“As first-time users of dogsitting (we just adopted our 8-year old Beau 2 years ago), we couldn't have been better served by Monica and her family. They have a wonderful set-up for dog care - big, multilevel home, huge fenced backyard, and very pet-friendly throughout, along with a dear, patient older dog who is very happy sharing her "den" with her visiting buddies. Monica shared regular photos and reports, and was so clearly loving and enthusiastic about caring for our guy - giving him his daily medication and welcoming all of my (um, very detailed) instructions about his routine. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Nicolas was a fantastic cat sitter. It was my first booking with him, and I am already looking forward to future opportunities to work with him. My situation required extra care because my senior cat has a recent diabetes diagnosis and was still adapting to her insulin when I left her in his care. Given Nicolas's background as a nurse, I already felt safe, but he went far above and beyond. He tracked her blood glucose twice a day, which is far from an easy task, kept precise records, and gathered useful data that I was able to share with our vet. He is also wonderfully proactive; when Santa experienced some sudden changes, he took the initiative to contact the veterinary clinic directly and stayed in touch with them to manage it. He took exceptional care of Santa, and she even developed a wonderful bond with him. My younger cat received plenty of love from Nicolas as well. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were with him. His house is fantastic, fully equipped with cat toys and furniture, and his own cats are very sweet and friendly. He is truly a blessing for our cat family!”
“I was completely confident leaving my dog with them. They consistently provided updates with pictures and meal reports, which assured us of their responsible care.”
“10-out-of-10 WILL RECOMMEND! Did a introduction a few weeks prior to the date and on sight my babies ran to Margarita! Like these little Cavapoos dragged me with the strength of pits trying to get to her! Her smile and laughter is so infectious, I could see why they were drawn to her! On their drop-off, from the moment they got out of the car, I was a nobody! I didn't know weather to be hurt or relived. I decided to choose relief! I watched my babies walk into Margarita's home as if they lived there! I received updates on their sleep time and on pick-up, they were very happy to have made a amazing friend in her and her entire family! I will use her again and again and am very grateful for the care and love she showed my babies!”
“Jessica was fantastic! I received pictures of every activity in addition to updates on feedings, sleep, potty, training and play time. Kian came home nice and tired after a day and sleepover full of fun! I will absolutely book again.”
“I am so happy I chose Kajal to watch Mochi. Mochi is an anxious pup and Kajal made the whole process less stressful starting with the meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and videos during Mochi’s stay which eased my mind as this was the first time Mochi was not in our care. I really appreciate Kajal and her family looking after Mochi and will seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“Rwitika was great with our dog over his 10-day stay. My dog seemed to have gotten along with her pets as well (dog and cats). She kept in touch with us with updates, pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her.”
“Ahmad was awesome with Bagel, who usually gets a little nervous in new places. He was super flexible and easy to communicate with, and made pickup and dropoff a breeze.”
“We were so happy that we got a chance to leave our Dear Winnie with this super sitter ❤️ Very positive experience , especially that this was a very first time leaving her with anyone . Nasreen is amazing and very caring . Definitely a great choice for you and your pet :) Will definitely book her again and would highly recommend her to anyone . Great communication and updates thought-out the whole time Winnie was with her . Overall a great experience 😊”
“Very happy with how my Brownie was taking care of and they keep me up to date when ever I asked how he was doing will be using them again when ever we have to go out of town and are unable to take Brownie with us. Very kind family. Thank you very much.”
About: I provide exclusive, 24/7 dog care in Highland Park, Middlesex County. Having raised two dogs and currently sharing my home with my Siberian Husky, Kodak, I have deep, hands-on experience with canine behavior, daily routines, and positive reinforcement training. My dog boarding schedule is unique: I only book dogs on my days off from work. This means your pup gets my undivided attention around the clock—they will never be left alone. If you want a safe, loving environment where your dog is the absolute center of attention, let's schedule a meet-and-greet! Since I work full-time during the week, I dedicate my days off entirely to dog boarding. On these days, I am home 24/7, meaning your dog will have my full, undivided attention for walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because it becomes my primary focus on my days off! live in a cozy, dog-friendly apartment where your pup will be treated like family. Since I don't have a yard, I ensure they get plenty of exercise with frequent neighborhood walks and potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours. They will also have the friendly company of my Siberian Husky, who loves having a playmate around!
“All the rave reviews are true: Ginnette was terrific! We never left our two dogs with anyone before, so we were nervous to leave them for a week— only until we met Ginnette for a meet’n’greet and our two dogs loved her. She was very communicative throughout the process and easy to work with. She also sent photos and videos each day, which kept us from wondering and worrying. We will definitely call upon her again (with fingers crossed that she’s available). Thanks again, Ginette! ❤️”

Krystsina was great. This was my first time using Rover and I booked last minute but she very reliable! She made me and my dog extremely comfortable. She made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the stay and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog sometimes gets anxious around new faces but she made sure to give him treats, take him outside, and play with him to make sure he felt comfortable with her and her daughter. He looked like he was having a great time. I will definitely book with her in the future!

Looking forward to working with you again. thank you
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.
Our dog Oreo had a wonderful stay! Firdavs was very communicative and provided regular updates on Oreo daily with pictures; he enjoyed his time there very much and was happy the entire time. We really appreicated the excellent care and would highly recommend!
We can't thank Jacqueline enough for being able to watch Sedona on short notice. You were wonderful to go through her care instructions so thoroughly and for you and Mimi to welcome her into your home and shower her with loving care. All of the photos and updates were much appreciated!
Marsha was phenomenal. The first night my epileptic dog was there he had a seizure through no fault of hers. She was calm, communicative and compassionate. She handled it so well and with such responsibility and concern. Luckily for all, .the rest of my dogs’ stay was much less eventful! Despite it all, she fell in love with my dogs—it was obvious—and they seemed to adore her. She is a gem and I would highly recommend her if you want a responsible and loving sitter who is battle tested.
Shreena took amazing care of Omy again! This time Omy stayed with her for an entire month, and everything was perfect. She treated him like her own, kept him happy and comfortable, and gave regular updates. At the end, she even gave him a bath which was such a nice touch — he came back super clean and fresh. Overall, we were very happy and will definitely book with her again!
Such a wonderful experience with Doug and Michelle. My very anxious dog looked relaxed and at home in every picture. Communication was easy and thorough. My pup's complicated medication and treat schedule were followed perfectly!! I very highly recommend this sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Highland Park is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,629 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 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.
94% of sitters in Highland Park 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 Park 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 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 , 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.
