“My pup Django loved his time with Carol Ann! She is the sweetest and spent lots of time with him - he even got sick to his stomach halfway through the trip and she made sure to nurse him back to health. Had no worries at all while away on our one week vacay!”

“Chastidy is extremely responsive and very accommodating. My dog likes to play with another dog in her big fenced yard. We really appreciated the photos and reports about how our dog was doing while he was under her care. Thank you, Chastidy!”

“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”

“This was our first time leaving Lincoln with Jouseline, and she made it such a great experience. She was an excellent communicator, sending updates and photos of Lincoln eating, walking, and enjoying his day. She was also flexible with our schedule when we needed to pick him up a little earlier. Lincoln came home happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely book with Jouseline again!”

“How lucky we are to have found Tokar to watch our Charli girl!! Tokar is warm and loving even welcoming Charli with her very own welcome sign on the porch when we arrived. We received picture updates and just knew Charli was having a great time. We look forward to seeing Tokar again!!!”


“Wanda and her family were kind and accommodating while watching my dog Banjo. She ensured he was cared for throughout his stay and made him comfortable while he was anxious during thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks. I would highly recommend Wanda for any and all pet-related needs.”

“Lenny was very warm and welcoming. She took good care of Oreo and kept me posted with daily activities with messages, pictures and videos. Oreo was very happy. Will definitely keep Oreo with Lenny again!”

“Rachel is as good as it gets for boarding my pup. She went above and beyond in caring for my pup and keeping me updated on all the fun they were having! Thank you so much for your wonderful care and we hope to stay with you again in the future!”


About: I have worked on a dog therapy farm caring for over 30 dogs, all different breeds, ages and temperaments. I would walk, feed, and care for the dogs. I had a pet cat growing up, and currently have a 8 year old, 100 lb American Akita that I rescued from a kill shelter with severe anxiety and behavioral issues - so I know how to handle difficult dogs. I also have dog sat my sister’s newborn dachshund puppy and her 2 year old rescue mutt. I am familiar and comfortable with all dogs and cats. Most importantly, I love them and will care for them with the respect and adoration they deserve! Im not working at this time, so I have all day to spend with your furry friend! I am available for walking, check-ins, or dog/cat sitting and will give them my full attention! I have a huge yard, although it is not fenced in, and I do have a dog at home. However, he is friendly and can be separated from your pet if needed, but he’s there for company if they want! I live in a quiet, foresty area, so plenty of long luxurious walks. I can crate your furry friend as well. In your home, I am fully comfortable sticking with walking/feeding schedules, and can adhere to your pets needs in their own environment!
“Jack really enjoyed his stay! The location is truly a luxury facility with plenty of room for the dogs to run around in the backyard, a patio and plenty of sleeping indoor space! Monika really enjoys her pets and keeps us posted with pictures! We will be returning!!”


“Pam was great taking care of my two dogs! Pam regularly sent pictures and gave us updates. They even ran out of food during their stay and Pam was nice enough to share her dog’s food with my dogs. Overall, I would recommend Pam to any dog owners. I’m positive our dogs enjoyed their “vacation” with Pam!”
“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”

About: I have 2 years of pet care experience and truly love spending time with animals. I enjoy caring for dogs with different personalities, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pet parents to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I am happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting. I will do my best to keep your pets on their regular routine and provide them with plenty of attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if needed, and daily routines. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm and loving environment. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands.

“Megan and Brian were outstanding! They treated our dogs like their own and made us feel so incredibly comfortable leaving them in their care! They stayed in touch, provided constant updates and it is obvious our pups thoroughly enjoyed their dogs and their comfortable home! We highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my special-needs pup, Dottie, for 8 years. She’s on a strict diet and takes meds too, so I’m good with following precise instructions. I have a loving and serene home where Dottie and I can welcome your pup. I work from home on Fridays, so I am available for boarding for long weekends. We could coordinate a Thursday evening drop-off if need be. On the weekends, I go to a pilates class and run errands, but am otherwise around as company for the dogs. My yard is only partially fenced, so I will be taking the dogs on leashed walks. Dottie sleeps in bed with me, so it’s okay if your pup needs to as well. If your dog is crate-trained, that is okay too.
“This was the first time our 14 year old rat terrier had stayed with anyone but a family member. It was easy to locate Brandon on Rover and to arrange for a meet. Brandon has a dog of his own and both dogs made friends immediately. Brandon’s inside play area for the dogs was clean and spacious. There was a park adjacent to his apartment, so we were confident that all would work out well. After an initial getting settled in, everything was fine. During our 3week stay in France, Brandon reliably sent us info and photos of our dog. We will be happy to use Brandon the next time we’re away and highly recommend him. Roseann Latsko”

“My Biz (now 12) is spoiled, has never lived outdoors, has never been crated and can be quite stubborn. Before the pandemic and me working from home full time, he was absolutely fine by himself for 12 hours but now not more than 4-6. When I had to fly out of town on business in December, I had a serious dilemma. The video and photos Elias sent me really helped ease my anxiety for the five days I was away. Elias was attentive in learning about Biz’s normal routine and respectful of all of my requests. He and his family took the very best of care of BIZ and he returned home exercised and happy! I truly recommend Elias highly for conscientious pet care.”

“Carol was the best sitter I could ask for! She is so kind and took care of my puppy so well! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she gave me peace of mind with check ins. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Carol again.”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lakehurst is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakehurst
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! I was nervous - it was my first time leaving my boy with a stranger. I met Carol a few weeks before and Percy (my dog) acted as if he has been to her house before. He made himself comfortable from the start. In later returned to leave him for a few days. It went fantastic!! Percy seemed to have enjoyed his "vacation". I already booked my next sitting with Carol. Definitely recommend.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Lakehurst is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $72 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.
There are 1,348 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakehurst. About 89% of Lakehurst sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
