“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“Michael is a wonderful surrogate father to our Rosie. He took such excellent care of her and really enjoyed her company. We feel very confident leaving our baby in his care.”
“I had a wonderful experience with this host! They are super nice, kind, and incredibly sweet. I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of GG. Getting photos of her every single day really put my mind at ease while I was away. It's obvious that GG had a fantastic time during her stay. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“Nervana looked after my cat Basil for 5 nights while I went to tour apartments out of state, and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to leave him with! I was very nervous about leaving him with someone new, but Nervana sent me lots of updates and it looks like Basil thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Thank you again, Nervana!!”
“Carrie was great. She was patient with my dog who can be a bit nervous at times. Sometimes my dog will not eat while I am gone, but she will eat cooked eggs. Carrie was kind enough to cook for my dog so that she wouldn't starve herself. I've given Carrie 5 stars, but for some reason it won't register it. I highly recommend Carrie for your pet.”
“I am a repeat customer of Lina’s and will always trust my cat with her. I knew my cat was in great hands. Lina is very responsive and sends daily photos and shares updates. She kept my cat very entertained and clearly was great company for him. He was very happy. She has been flexible in scheduling which has also been a tremendous help. I was traveling internationally with a delayed flight back, but Lina was very easy to communicate with and make arrangements with. My Miso has a lovely time with her and will be seeing her again!”
“Jane was wonderful with Lucy! She gave her lots of attention and understood her quirks. She even spoon-fed her when she didn't want to eat! They went on walks and cuddled on her couch. Not to mention the great picture and videos she sent me. When we were leaving, Lucy kept looking back to see if Jane was coming along 😊 Thank you Jane for taking care of my Lucy!!”
“Our dog Mazie loves going to Ricks! She is an Aussiedoodle that needs a lot of exercise so it was important for us to find someone who would make sure she got her steps in. At Rick’s, she’s able to run the property to get out all of her energy. Rick sends us videos every day to share how Mazie is doing. We feel confident knowing mazie is in good hands when we are away.”
“I can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Julie was absolutely phenomenal! Upon my first meeting with her, she just made me feel so comfortable and confident with my choice in her. We have 2 Boston Terriers and, as terriers typically can be, they can be quite energetic. This didn’t deter Julie at all!! She welcomed them with open arms! Julie watched our boys for basically a week. She sent pictures (that were amazing, by the way) multiple times a day and checked in to give us updates so we knew they were both happy and well-loved all week. We will definitely be using Julie again! She’s so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable!”
“Amazing sitter! Very kind, organized and responsive. Easy and flexible with arrangements as we were delayed with pickup. Updates sent all the time. We were very comfortable this first time leaving Bella with Yiqi. Will absolutely come back.”
“Vera was great! She provided updates and photos during Hunter’s stay. It really helped that her dog Gryff was around to keep Hunter company as well. We’ll definitely be using Vera again in the future :)”
“Patricia is a very warm and generous person. My pup had a lot of fun and I could tell from the pictures she sent me everyday while he was staying with her. Highly recommended! Thank you.”
“Pamela and her family were excellent. Milo is a very energetic puppy and they took wonderful care of him and helped him feel comfortable. He was a little nervous at first and she did everything to help him adjust. I got tons of updates and pictures during my trip. They would take him out and give him all the exercise he needed. They treated him like part of the family. This was our first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. She has excellent communication and quick response. I would highly recommend Pamela as a sitter and would use her again.”
About: I’ve had a dogs my entire life. I love them all big and small. I’ve also fostered for the last 20 years. I love all dogs and have 4 of my own. I’d love to pamper your pup too! I am currently a stay at home mother and have plenty of free time to walk or help care for pets. I have mornings and afternoons free. I have 4 very spoiled rescues. We have a fenced in yard but I never leave my dogs outside alone. My dogs are not crated but I would crate a visiting pet for safety if I was not home.
“Syndi had a great 3 days with Tiffany. Easy meet and greet. I always have trouble with the drop off saying goodbye to my pup but Tiffany makes you feel like you are leaving her in great hands. Syndi looked comfortable and happy in pictures. Would definitely use Tiffany again and I recommend her highly.”
“We love Hannah!! But most importantly so does Dinghy. Hannah takes such good care of our girl and we always have peace of mind leaving Dinghy in her care. Looking forward to next time!”
“I’m so happy to have found Raven and Jesse. They took care of our senior dog Travis for about 9 days and were updating us with messages, pics and videos of our dog Travis The best part is their sweet dog Fennel, who was more Excited than Travis to see me when I returned. She looked after Travis too. Just a great experience and would absolutely book again with Raven and Jesse. Thanks again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highlands
Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Highlands is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $81 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 13,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Highlands. 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Highlands 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.
