“If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍”

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay”
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”

I could tell our puppy really liked her because when we picked him up and Anky was walking away, he stood on two legs looking towards her wagging his tail till she was out of sight. We would recommend her to anyone.”

I live in an apartment. However, I am able to dedicate good time to walks and attention, so no need to worry about any lack of exercise.
“My pup was so happy during her long stay with Jingyi! I got so many updates and photos and I’m really pleased with how flexible she was with drop off and pickup times. She was such a great communicator and I know my pup was really happy to be there.”
“Thank you so much for keeping Michaela. The daily photos let me know she was in good hands. Thank you for working with me as I am new to this app. Thank you for providing great service.”
“Jessica was GREAT! Very affordable, reasonable rates, and flexible with her schedule. Our dogs received the best care possible and she sent us regular picture updates and was very responsive to our messages! We would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“John was great! Remi’s first time in the city and she did well. She had her own little adventure while we were tourists for the day. John was attentive and responded quickly to messages. Remi had a great time with John.”
“Heather and her family were so sweet with my Buzz! I’ve had the same dog sitter for years, so I was nervous when I suddenly needed to find someone new. From the start, they were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive with him, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip. They also have an amazing backyard where Buzz could run around, play, and make himself at home. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Heather and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Kathy was fantastic! Gracie obviously had a fabulous time and didn't want to leave. Kathy sent us pictures and videos during the stay and was super responsive to all communication. Would 100% recommend Kathy to anyone, and hope she's available whenever we need a sitter in the future!”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Cocoa had the best time with Brendon, Dali & crew! Brendon was super communicative throughout the stay - lots of videos, pics and updates on walk and feeding schedules. I knew cocoa was in good hands the entire time. Truly the best of the best. Would book again”

Kinjal was amazing with Timmy. This is our first time leaving him with someone other than family so we were a bit worried. After the inital meetup, talking with Kinjal, and seeing where he would be staying, my worries started to fade. During the boarding, Kinjal communicated daily with photo and video updates and frequently asked questions about Timmy in order to provide the best care of him. We will definitely go with Kinjal again. Highly recommended!
Maria took such good care of Zoe! Zoe is a bit of an anxious dog and she took to Maria immediately. I could tell from the pics that Maria sent, that Zoe was calm and happy and very well cared for. We will surely reach out to Maria again to watch Zoe the next time we’re out of town.
Jessica has been absolutely wonderful - she provided great care for our dog while we were away. Our dog is very slow to trust people but Jessica managed to gain his trust almost immediately. She took great care in providing him his medications plus his dietary food, and it was obvious that he had a great time staying with her! Thank you Jessica!
Fran was wonderful with our dog! She was incredibly kind and caring, and Nova took to her right away. Fran made sure Nova was eating well and kept us updated each day with pictures and messages about how she was doing. We felt completely at ease knowing Nova was in such great hands. We would definitely recommend Fran!
To say Caita was a life saver is putting it lightly. She stepped up and rescued Louie from a very stressful situation. Not only did she drive and pick him up , she treated him like it was her own dog. She went above and beyond what was expected of her and turned a nightmare into a dream . I am beyond grateful for Caita and highly recommend her to anyone !
Katherine took fantastic care of our two pups! This was our first time boarding with her, so naturally a bit nervous, but almost immediately after dropping off we started getting updates about the dogs. Photos and videos, showing happy and well-cared for dogs with wagging tails! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our fur babies and putting us at ease!
Christian and his family were amazing with our 15-year-old Chihuahua, Cocoa. She has some medical needs, and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger for a week. Christian's experience and friendly, calm demeanor put us at ease. He was patient, understanding and gave her time to adjust. He was in regular communication with me throughout the week, and took photos to show how she was doing. She came home happy. We will definitely be in touch with Christian again when we need a sitter. Thanks so much for giving Cocoa a good week, Christian!
Oscar was SO EXCITED to go over to Pete's house - I swear, he figured out what was happening 10 minutes beforehand, and waited by the back door for us to let him out. He flew into the house without so much of a backwards glance. Oscar spent several hours with Pete and when he came back home, he was happy and exhausted!! Little snuggle bug went right to sleep. Thank you for keeping him busy and happy, Pete!!!
Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lyndhurst is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $60 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 of October 2026, there are 14,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lyndhurst. 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.
94% of sitters in Lyndhurst 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 Lyndhurst home-away-from-home, 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 Lyndhurst.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lyndhurst 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 , 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 .
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.
