Dog Boarding in Lake Hopatcong, NJ

“Our Izzy is a bit of a problemed child. But after this overnight sleepover, it was clear that she felt very comfortable with Chris. He made the entire process very easy and we are very happy that we found a sitter that we can trust. A+++”

“Christina was awesome! She took care of Meeko like one of her own and I’m so appreciative of that. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures. He will definitely be back to hangout with Bentley and Dixen!”

“Kevin & his wife were amazing! They offered to do a meet and greet before hand and made my dog and I both feel so comfortable. They sent pictures or videos every day which really helped knowing my dog was enjoying herself while I was away!”

“Our dogs were very well while staying at Vivian and Katia’s house. They followed all the instructions related to food, walks, etc and we received plenty of pictures during the days we were gone. Katia was very kind and sweet with the dogs and they look happy and resting calmly all the time.”

“Trista has been incredibly helpful and flexible, she was helpful when I had a last minute need and was very understanding and open. She makes the stays easy and my dog was very happy staying with her.”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

“Jillian was always quick to respond and very easy to communicate with! She took great care of Empanada and we would definitely reach out to her again!”

“My dog was right at home with Marisol and her family. I loved the pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Marisol!!”

Whitney D.

“Erin was great with our three dogs. It was their first time staying at someone else's house and they were acting up. She was willing to bring them back to my house and watch them there. I love that she was flexible and honest. She took great care of them. I was over three hours away and was so glad that she was able to come up with plan B and execute it. She was so flexible, accommodating and friendly. She made me feel at ease. We would definitely book her again.”

Luisa P.

“Joe and his family are very welcoming. Takes great care of your four legged love ones. Too much so I felt my dogs didn’t want to come back home with me.”

DANIEL B.

“Mylene was wonderful with our puppy! She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. We felt completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her again!”

Jaclynn L.

“Kamini, her family, and Pia are fantastic. Our dog stayed overnight and I received frequent updates (the right amount), lots of pictures, and great communication!! Even with this being the first time he stayed with them, I was comfortable and confident he was being treated as their own. He got along great with Pia, and we would definitely use Kamini again in the future. Highly recommend. 5 stars!”

Jamie B.

“Michele is a wonderful sitter! I’ve used her several times to watch my dog, and each experience has been smooth and completely hassle-free. She’s very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always willing to work with my schedule. She carefully follows all of my instructions and consistently sends pictures and updates throughout the day without me even having to ask, which gives me great peace of mind. I always feel reassured leaving my dog in her care, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future.”

Shelly G.

“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!! Gisselle sent photos as well as updates throughout the days we were away. The images showed my two pups comfortable, happy and having a blast playing the day away!! I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”

Kimarie S.

“Samantha was wonderful with Nellie! She sent updates throughout the day, gave my dog her meds and nellie settled right in! She was also very flexible with scheduling, due to an unexpected winter storm. Will 100% use Sam again to watch Nellie!”

Melissa N.

“We were nervous about leaving our anxious, 2yr. old Bernadoodle, Rosie, with strangers, but Yanni's responsiveness and friendly nature put us at ease. Her home looked clean and well maintained. Throughout our weekend away, Yanni sent us updates with adorable photos, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. We appreciated that she was taken on several walks. While Rosie is not playful with other dogs and prefers humans, I'm glad that she had some time with Yanni's dogs. We would not hesitate to send Rosie there again, and we're grateful she has a place to go!”

Mary Jean W.

“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!”
