“I have been so impressed with Natalie - she is truly an animal lover and took care of my chai like her own. Shes took him for walks, gave him treats, played with him, sent me pictures and updates along the way - I felt so comforted leaving him with her. She’s truly amazing!”
“Trista was amazing. I found out that I had to go out of town without much warning, and she had no problem accommodating our last minute request and pupsitting my golden. Trista sent pictures and updates, which were great, and she was flexible with our pickup time since the snow affected my commute. Riley played so much that she was exhausted when we brought her home! I will definitely be rebooking this awesome sitter!”
“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of our Diesel for 4 days while we were on vacation. She was caring, responsible, and made sure Diesel was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Diesel and treated him like her own. We came back to a happy and well-cared-for dog! I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We would definitely have her take care of Diesel again! ❤️🐾”
“We had a wonderful first experience with Turin! Tilly needs to be the only dog, so finding someone who could give her individual attention and make her feel comfortable was very important to us. Turin took the time to sit with us while Tilly explored her surroundings and adjusted at her own pace. She had such a calm, kind way with Tilly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. It was obvious that Tilly enjoyed spending time with Turin, and she came home happy after having a great time. It means so much to find someone you can trust with your dog, especially when they have individual needs. We are so happy we found Turin. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Rachel & Zach were wonderful taking care of my Christina dog. I knew Christina blended well into their family when I picked her up and their children came to say goodbye to her. They were also great at understanding Christina's quirks. Will definitely book again.”
“Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!”
About: Your Pet’s Care Is My Top Priority 🐾 I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’m very particular about the care my own pets receive, so I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience raising and training puppies, including working on basic commands, routines, house training, and helping them become confident and well-behaved. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know what makes each pet comfortable and happy. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own! My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home a few days a week for morning and afternoon walks. I am available any evening for night time feedings. Weekend availability is also not a problem. I have a fenced in yard at my home for when your dog is staying at my home. I also am very active so multiple walks a day is my pleasure! I have experience administering medication.

“I want to give a huge thank you to Alexander and George for taking such wonderful care King! 🐾❤️ From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and at peace knowing King was in good hands. Their kindness, patience, communication, and the pictures they shared meant so much to us. It’s not easy leaving your buddy behind, but they truly made the experience stress-free.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hopatcong
First time leaving our boy Baxter with Trista. We were going away for a week and needed to know he was taken care of. Trista sent us a daily picture of Bax while he was outside in her large fenced in yard. Could have used a little more communication, but, for first time stay, we were pleased. Baxter, who doesn’t stay behind too often, was content when we picked him up and we could tell he enjoyed his stay. Would have Trista watch Bax again. Thank you

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hopatcong is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $66 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 2,235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hopatcong. 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.
95% of sitters in Hopatcong 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 Hopatcong 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 Hopatcong.
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 Hopatcong 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.
