“Stephanie was absolutely outstanding. She went above and beyond to accommodate a last minute booking for my pup, Zoro even offering to pick him up, which was a huge help. Throughout his stay, she showered him with love and attention, sending frequent photo and video updates that gave me complete peace of mind. It was obvious how much he enjoyed his time with her he even cried when she left. Stephanie has truly earned my trust, and she’ll be my go to sitter from here on out. Highly recommend!”

“We kept our 2 and half years old Maltese with Lisa for 2 nights when we had to go out of town for a wedding and couldn't take our pup Bisou along. It was the first time that Bisou had to spend at a stranger's home. I was sad and worried to leave him behind. But after picking him up, within 2 days I re-booked Lisa for 3 nights in September. I don't need to write detail review. Because, "Action speaks louder than words". ☺”

About: Your dog will be loved while you’re away by someone who is communicative, experienced, and has handled all kinds of emergency situations. I’ve been raising guide dog puppies since 2015 and am well-versed in all things dogs. I have experience with all personalities and temperaments, basic training and exposure, administrating medicine, and basic medical care. Having helped raise over a dozen guide dog puppies, I’m experienced in all things puppy-raising including housebreaking, teaching beginner’s obedience, and manners. I’ve also worked with special needs dogs such as those with trauma, post-surgical care, and special medical administration. Pups are my favorite part of my schedule, so I’ll usually try to work around pup-times, making sure all needs are taken care of throughout the day. I often work virtually so I can check in and spend time with your pups, and like to schedule outings to be animal-friendly as much as possible, so that they can come with me. When it comes to your home, I will take your lead, and be as respectful as possible. Please show me your/your pet’s preferences and I’ll adhere to those wherever I can. I believe in building our relationship with trust and explicit communication. You are sharing your precious companions and home with me, and I cherish that so much. I will take good care of them so that you feel assured that they’re in good hands. I do have a German shepherd that is a career change from The Seeing Eye program, and a friendly and very gentle cat. They can come with me or stay at our home with my partner, depending on your preference.

About: Pasó la mayor parte del día en casa con mi perro, de hecho vivo sola con mi perro; así que tengo la disponibilidad de tiempo para cuidar de un perro y dedicarle tiempo y atención, Trabajo a tiempo parcial, por lo que pasó la mayor parte del tiempo en casa, tengo un mini yorkie que vive conmigo, generalmente salimos a caminar todos los días por 20 a 30 minutos, excepto los días de lluvia, los fines de semana también paso en casa así que dispongo del tiempo suficiente para cuidar de una mascota Vivo en mi casa propia, así que no tengo problema en cuidar perros, cuando mi yorkie necesita hacer sus necesidades, utiliza un leash para poder salir ya que la casa no dispone de fenza. Suele salir cada hora y camina alrededor de la casa. Podría hacer exactamente lo mismo con la mascota que vaya a cuidar

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!

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.

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!

There are 9,927 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Highland Park. About 88% of Highland Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
