“We left Mozart for the day with Bob while we visited with friends. Couldn't be happier! Mozart was safe and happy. We are thrilled with Bob and his services with our dog. And we plan to use him again in the near future!! ”
“Deena provides a warm and friendly environment with a huge enclosed yard perfect for pups of all kinds. She sent us pics at least once a day and kept us well informed about how our pup was doing. This was our first time using Deena and we will do so again!”
“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.”
“Lorrie is awesome! It was my first time ever leaving my 5 month old puppy. I was a little skeptical at first by using this app but once I met her I felt comfortable right away. She has years of experience and answered all the questions I needed to know about Paisleys stay. She gave us updates, videos and pictures everyday while she was watching Paisley. Also makes sure any other dogs your dog will be around has all of their vaccines which is nice too. Going forward I will use her whenever I am away and she is available.”
“JoEllen has been the most amazing pet sitter we’ve ever experienced! Except it didn’t feel like we left our boy with a pet sitter - felt more like we left him with a family member! She took extra great care of our dog while we were away on vacation, sent a ton of pics and updates and took him out on an adventure every single day! He got along so well with her and her entire beautiful family and he was treated as one of her own. I can’t thank JoEllen enough for going above and beyond for our dog who has unique behavioral traits as a bulldog, and she’s able to accommodate and tend to him like a dog whisperer! She knew exactly what to do without me having to say it. She deserves 10 stars, as 5 is too little. We are so grateful to have found what feels like a 2nd home for our dog when we go away. Thanks a million, JoEllen!”
“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.”
“Ziwei was so great with my puppy! I booked her last minute when I was in a bind and she jumped to the occasion. She constantly shared videos and pictures to let me know my baby was happy and safe.”
About: i’ve taken care of puppies since I was 10 years old and wrote a PowerPoint to my dad to get my own dog when I was younger lol. I’ve trained them all myself and have fed them organically and they live very happy lives. I am a nurse who is trained in every emergency case scenario and I love seeing puppies on my days off to brighten my day and to give them the love, they deserve. I work three days a week as a nurse so I have many days off and times when I am home otherwise my brother is home. That helps me as well. I am looking to do this on my days off to cheer me up after a hard shift and to love dogs. I live in apartment complex that is gated and I have a rooftop that has a dog park on it specifically for dogs as well as there are many dog parks in my area to take dogs and a lot of walking areas as well
About: I’ve had many dogs growing up. 3 Shih Tzus, 1 German Shepherd, and an Australian Shepherd. I used to walk and take care of a Golden Poodle for a year nearby Long Branch. I love dogs and I’m always from my own so I’d love to take care and be around them. I’ve taken care of puppies and also my own dog who was 16 years old before she passed recently. I play soccer at Monmouth, our practices are from 10-12. Other than that, I’m mostly free. Being a senior I don’t have much class and I’m a very active person so I’d love to walk/run with dogs. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or routines. I’m very responsible and will give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates while I’m with them.
“Patricia and her son were amazing hosts to Burberry! They took such great care of him during his stay and Patricia asked many questions about his diet, how he sleeps, etc... which showed me she really went above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a great host for their pet to choose Patricia!”
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.
“Ben provided excellent care for my seven year-old dachshund Coco. He sent me daily updates which provided comfort for this dog dad. Coco seemed happy and well cared for upon picking her up. She was wagging her tail and turned back to say goodbye to Ben (and his sweet Chihuahua, Colby) I highly recommend Ben to provide care for your pup... Coco will definitely be back!”
“Skye is awesome, my pup loves him. He was great in taking care of my Dog, I didn't have to worry that my dog was being mistreated . I was worried my Dog wouldn't want to go home with me lol. From the pictures he sent my Dog was having the best time of his life”
“Bill knows dogs! He took our rambunctious three year old & they got along great. He had a couple of dogs & we took Rossi there for a meet & greet so he could see how they got along. We took Rossi to Bill’s the next day because Rossi was treated so well. He sent photo & text updates a couple of times each day. 5 stars.”

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.
