“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
“Cosmo had a wonderful time with Sriram and his family. We got regular updates including photos. They were very flexible to accommodate all our requests to keep him and us at ease. We will certainly send Cosmo back to them whenever we need boarding for him. Highly recommend them.”
“Definitely book!!!!!!! Jillian and her husband were amazing with our dog! They provided us with pictures and updates throughout the day and were extremely responsive. I would absolutely recommend their family to watch someone’s pet. Thank you again Jillian!”
“I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but he sure wasn’t! He had an amazing time at Jonathan’s. He went on walks, hikes, and kept busy with other dogs there. He experienced no anxiety at all. Jonathan was great with updates and communication. Oliver will definitely be back in the future!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“Chelsea was great! Very communicative and professional. Our dog Leo hada great time with Chelsea and her put Sundae. I highly recommend Chelsea to care for your puppy.”
“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”
“Teresa took very good care of my two dogs when my family and I went on vacation for 6 nights. She corresponded daily with photos, and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy staying with her and I will definitely reach out to her again for her services.”
“Bobbi was absolutely fantastic! She cared for my dog like it was her very own. Harley got regular walks around town, hikes, and was well cared for. I received positive notes throughout her stay. Will definitely setup other stays and recommend Bobbi to friends and family. Thank you!”
“Sujanna is an amazing person clearly cut out for the job that she does. She took amazing care of Rebel and was very communicative with Rebel’s daily activities. She sent pictures and videos detailing day’s events and best of all, Rebel was clearly so happy with her. I will not look elsewhere if I need a sitter again. Thank you so much Sujanna.”
“Bydette and her family are amazing with Kobe. They treat him like a member of the family and it shows as Kobe loves to hang out with Bydette and her family. He is always excited to see them and runs up the stairs when he sees Bydette. They are a very sweet and wonderful family and I'm so happy that we have found them. When you leave a member of your family with someone else, you always worry that they are ok and that they are enjoying their time when they are away from you. With Bydette and her family, there's no need to be worried as they will treat your pet as their family member and will show them the same love and attention that you do.”

“Riti was absolutely wonderful! She watched our girl, Lady, for a few days and it was a great experience from start to finish. Riti was super communicative leading up to and during the stay, sending tons of photos, which I really appreciated. Riti took care to follow the long list of care instructions I left with her as well. I would highly recommend Riti, and I will definitely be using her again in the near future! 💖🐶”
“It was our dog's first night away from us and we feel so fortunate to have found Shaun S. Shaun and his family treated Betty with such love and took so much time to understand our dog, Betty's, routine and personality prior to her visit. It was so nice to receive so many pictures and even videos during her stay... he kept us posted the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, Betty's tail was wagging as she "introduced" me to Shaun - along with his son and wife. What a lovely family and the perfect home to leave Betty. We already booked 2 more stays!”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”

Cookie was taken such great care of by Louis! This was our first time leaving Cookie with someone we didn’t know and Louis was so kind to her and patient. She was anxious when we left her but she seemed to adjust well and start playing with her new doggie friends. Loved that Cookie got to spend so much time outside and running around free to explore. Thank you so much Louis for taking care of our little lady 😊
Chelsea took great care of Finn, our 5-year old Australian labradoodle. She was very responsive and communicated often with updates and pictures. Finn had fun walking and playing and was very comfortable staying in her home with her family and sheepdog dog Sundae. Finn got lots of snuggles and pets, which made us feel better about being away from him. We will definitely book Chelsea again.
Jillian was absolutely wonderful! She was so warm and inviting, and Rosie took to her immediately. She kept me updated throughout my trip, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Rosie came home happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I could tell she had been very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jillian and would happily trust her with Rosie again!
Jonathan was great with both of our dogs. He had great communication, sent us pictures and videos of the girls. He was also accommodating when our flight was canceled and we had to book an extra 2 days with him. We would definitely re-book with him in the future!
Dhurti took wonderful care of Oreo! She had great communication throughout the entire stay and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Oreo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated her kindness and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Charles took great care of our 6-months old Goldendoodle, Maxie, during 5 days boarding. He was very responsive and made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy for the 1st time. When we picked him up, Maxie was happy, it was clear he had been very well taken care for. In fact, Maxie seemed so comfortable that he did not want to leave. We would absolutely use Charles again. Thank you!
This is the third time that Charina and Sunny have watched our dog Max and I cannot say enough about how wonderful they are. I trust them fully to not only take great care of him, but also to diligently give him his meds and address his health. Their home is a perfect place for dogs and the pictures that Charina takes and sends to us are helpful and really nice! Thx so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake Hiawatha on Rover is $77.14 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,454 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Hiawatha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Lake Hiawatha sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lake Hiawatha landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Hiawatha 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 Lake Hiawatha.
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 Lake Hiawatha 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.
