“Chris was great with Lainey (and with us). Super communicative and easy in terms of meet up, drop off, and pick up. And did a great job with Lainey, even as she presented him with some unique challenges.”
“Trista and Bill were wonderful. Not only did they care for 1 year old pup Maggie (who suffers from epilepsy) while I was away, they also took the time to help train and socialize her with other dogs which was above and beyond my expectations. Maggie had a wonderful week running around playing with other dogs and even made a surprising friend with a dog that is usually timid. Maggie seems to bring out the puppy in him as he brought out the fun playful side of her. I received pictures and updates all week long. Very appreciative to them for taking such good care of her and looking forward to playdates with our new doggy friend”
“Nicolas and Renee are incredibly wonderful. They made Louie feel right at home and at ease, which is important since it’s our first time leaving him. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They kept us updated daily with pictures and took excellent care of him. When we picked him up, he smelled great. They’re truly the best. I highly recommend their family to anyone looking for a quality, safe, and reliable place for their pet.”
“Kevin and his wife were great; able to take my 2 dogs at short notice . kept me advised how they were doing and flexible to work with my odd schedule. would recommend them to others.”
About: I’ve owned my own dog for 17 years and have babysitted friends’ dogs and many other client’s dogs by word of mouth. I am experienced with senior care and comfortable with administering medication. Ever since I started working from home and my soul dog passing the rainbow bridge I found I have more love in my heart to share with any dog out there. I recently joined rover because I miss having a dog in my home, being able to cuddle a furry friend is something I have missed dearly. I am a fully remote worker and have availability to be with your pet the entire day. I don’t often leave my house except for errands or the gym. Since I only take one client family at a time you can be assured that your baby is getting all the attention they deserve. I have a partially fenced backyard and live on a quiet street with a park within walking distance. I’ll start the day before work with a morning walk, continue with any needed potty breaks throughout the day, and then finish up with an evening walk. If your dog enjoys being on the lap I’d love for them to join me on lap for my work from home schedule! Play time can happen in my backyard or the nearby park.
“Kathy and Vivian took amazing care of our dog, Chloe, while we were away visiting family for over a week. They sent us photos every single day, which truly put us at ease, and communication was always smooth and thoughtful. When we picked Chloe up, she was so happy and clearly well‑loved. We highly recommend and we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Carol and her family took exceptional care of our little guy Max. They loved him as if he was part of their own family. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about Max knowing he was in their loving hands. Carol will be our first call anytime we need someone to watch him!”
“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 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!”
“Very friendly and communicative! Liyuan was very quick to get back and supportive sharing photos throughout our pup's stay. I will certainly be looking to have Luna stay with Liyuan again in the future and am sure Luna's excited for it too!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me a strong foundation in providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care. From energetic pups needing extra playtime to gentle seniors who prefer a calm, steady routine, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever your pet needs to feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have company, attention, and potability breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. While I don’t have pets of my own, I live with my sister and her Great Pyrenees mix—a super friendly, easygoing dog who loves meeting both people and other animals. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated just like family. You can count on frequent updates, photo check-ins, and plenty of belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine! Since I'm here throughout the day, guest pets are never left alone for long periods. Throughout the week, my flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate feeding times, medication needs, and individual routines so your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for. In my home, your pet will be treated like a member of the family. Because I work from home full-time, guest pets enjoy constant supervision, regular potability breaks, and a relaxed, comfortable environment. We have a fenced in yard and a 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine in the environment where they feel safest.
“We left our dog Koda with June for 6 days and our experience was wonderful. I would highly reccomend. Koda was kept busy playing with the other pups, was given lots of attention and seemed to feel right at home. June sent lots of pics and updates which was comforting to us when we were away. We already have another shorter stay booked and can feel at ease knowing our dog is in good safe hands”
“Steven is an exceptional dog sitter! He and his wife took care of my Dito, with love, kindness, and professionalism. His communication was top-notch, and he kept me updated on Dito's adventures. Dito was happy, healthy, and well-cared for, and that's all thanks to Steven's dedication. He's trustworthy, reliable, and truly a dog lover. If you need a dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, look no further than Steven. 5 stars and a big paws up from Dito.”
“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!”
“Sindy took great care of my dog Brizo for one night. She was kind, attentive, and kept me updated throughout. Brizo came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again!”
“LET ME TELL YOU… Kiara was such a delight and made sure our little meatball (dog) was well taken care of. She communicated often and sent photos of our dog often during his stay. She was such a pleasure and we will be using her as often as we are out of town! Thank you Kiara! And if you’re considering.. we highly recommend Kiara!”
“Polina was our first experience using Rover and we couldn't be happier. Our dog was safe with Polina and he was clearly treated as one of the family. We received multple pictures each day of him having a great time. She got creative when he wouldn't eat the first night. When we picked him up, her genuine affection for him was evident. We will definitely choose Polina to care for our teasured pet again.”
“Sriram and Rekha were absolutely wonderful! From the moment we had our meet and greet, I knew my sweet lab Peanut would be in in exceptional hands. Their property is truly beautiful! It's so expansive, spacious and very safe, it's like a luxury dog hotel! They are such kind people and really made Peanut feel so welcome and right at home. Over the July 4th weekend, they went above and beyond by sending me adorable photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Peanut was so happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and individual attention. This was without a doubt the best boarding experience I've ever had. I couldn't recommend Sriram and Rekha highly enough and I will absolutely be booking with them again, Peanut didn't want to leave! Thanks guys once again for taking such incredible care of my fur baby Peanut!”
About: I’m your dog’s new best friend! I’ve been around dogs all shapes and sizes and ages ever since remember myself.

David was amazing in taking care of our pup while we were gone. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process. He was consistently giving updates which was was very calming as this was my first time being away from my pup. Would highly recommend David and will definitely be using his services again!
I cannot recommend Maria enough! She did a phenomenal job caring for my dog in her home. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in loving and capable hands. She provided a warm, safe, and welcoming environment where he clearly felt comfortable and happy. What impressed me most was her flexibility and kindness—when my flight was delayed, she kept him without hesitation and with such understanding. That level of care and consideration gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful situation. It’s obvious she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats the dogs as if they were her own. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter.

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 Hopatcong 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 Hopatcong 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 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 Lake 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 Lake 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.
