About: We offer loving and compassionate dog boarding or drop-ins and cat drop-ins. Dog boarding is at our home with a large, fenced-in yard and plenty of room to play and roam around. We never take more than one dog guest at a time and take extra special care of your pet while you are gone, including walks and cuddles. My husband and I have been taking care of dogs and cats a combined 30 years and have both had dogs since childhood. I lived with dogs (2 Jack Russel Terriers and a black Lab) for over 20 years and have had my own cats for the past 10 years. I know how to walk, bathe and feed. BONUS THAT REALLY SETS ME APART FROM OTHERS 😅: I am a pet intuitive and add Reiki for pets into my services if it's wanted. I am a stay-at-home mom and can care for your pets in the morning and at night 7 days a week. I am also able to do small drop-in visisg throughout the day as needed. Currently, I can only care for your pets in your home. We have play and snuggle time depending on what your pet needs, feed and clean litter boxes.
“Great experience for our chocolate lab. She was very happy and well taken care of. Had fun with other dogs playing in the snow. It was clear she was in good hands based on the updates we received while on vacation. Loved the report card provided at the end of her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Dalton & Leia were great! Our dog was anxious staying somewhere new and they did a great job making him feel comfortable. Provided updates and videos. Definitely recommend!!”
“Hannah & her family took wonderful care of our dog. She sent picture updates, and treated her like one of their own dogs. She was flexible when our flight was delayed, even cleaned the food bowls & had everything packed for pick up.”
“Shaun is wonderful with our 5 year old golden. He takes such good care of her, lots of walks, attention, and play, as well as sends us frequent update and photos! Thank you!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my 7 month old puppy so I was a little nervous and not sure what to expect. Joanne put my mind at ease from the beginning and was WONDERFUL! Willow was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I even received daily updates with pictures which I looked forward to receiving. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. THANK YOU Joanne for taking such good care of my Willow!”
“First Impressions Boarding my dog, Lilly, with someone outside the family for the first time made me a little nervous. My granddaughter, who had used Rover before, helped me submit the application and choose a sitter. Even on the way to drop Lilly off, I still felt apprehensive, but that quickly changed when Teresa gave us such a warm welcome and Lilly and I were greeted by Teresa’s three friendly dogs. Although Lilly seemed a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon relaxed after playing in Teresa’s large backyard, and I felt comfortable leaving her there. Updates During Her Stay Teresa reassured me that Lilly would be well cared for and promised to keep me updated. She followed through by sending photos and notes about how Lilly was sleeping, eating, and taking her medicine, which I really appreciated. Pickup and Overall Experience When I picked Lilly up, Teresa told me what a joy she had been to care for. She said Lilly was very sweet, that her daughter had fallen in love with her, and even one of her dogs had taken a liking to her. Teresa also said Lilly would be welcome back anytime. I left feeling grateful for the care Lilly received and would happily trust Teresa with her again.”
“Kristin was a wonderful host!! She was communicative with us everyday, flexible with drop off and pick up schedule, and we could tell Samson was comfortable, happy and well cared for. She understood our anxiety and concerns about leaving our four legged baby, and really put us at ease. Kristin was professional and responsive, and we would highly recommend her to care for your doggie. Jose and Carolyn Lugo ”
“Jiyao and Yiting were amazing with Daisy! They sent us adorable photos and videos throughout her stay, which made us feel so connected. Daisy came home with a huge smile, still in her playful, happy mode. We could tell she had a blast—highly recommend these wonderful hosts! We’ll definitely book again!”
“Karalyn was fantastic with Cookie! Booking through Rover was seamless, and her communication throughout the stay was wonderful. We loved receiving daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. Cookie was happy and well cared for—we’ll definitely be booking with Karalyn again!”
About: Dog lover couple who wants the occasional companionship of a good boy/girl. I’ve personally cared for large and small dogs, yellow lab/setter/Bichon Frise, And have wanted a dog of my own for awhile. Currently, being new to New Jersey and traveling 1-2 times a month for work, this plan will have to be temporarily put on hold. Lucky for those who need the occasional dog sitter/walker and myself, rover allows both parties to be happy and fulfilled. My house has a small yard, but we have multiple parks within walking distance. I have the ability to work from home when needed, but my availability for the most part will be on the weekends or nights on weekdays. I look forward to meeting as many dogs as possible! I work full-time but work remotely around 50%. Looking after a dog during my remote work days is very easy and I can accommodate most things. Any time my profile is set to available I am working from home I have a fenced in small yard and live within walking distance of multiple parks. We are accommodating of all dog sizes and mobilities. We currently watch a senior dog very frequently and are aware of senior pup needs
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and comfort needs, and I make sure to treat each one like my own. What sets me apart is the patience and attention I give-whether that means extra playtime, slow walks for the older pups, or just being present for snuggles and reassurance. I pay attention to the small things: their favorite toys, how they like to be greeted, and what makes them feel safe. My goal is to always make sure your dog feels loved, comfortable, and understood. I am a college student looking for some extra money, I am available all week day morning and evenings, as well as weekends. Very flexible!! I am pet CPR + First Aid certified! I make sure all dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable. All dogs have their own personality so instead of them feeling the need to adjust I adjust to their needs.
About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. As an adult, I have my own pup who I love with every ounce of my being. I have experience working as a dog walker and a dog-sitter (both in my home, and in the clients home). You can trust that your pet will be safe with me, as I will love them as if they are my own. I'm currently working full-time 9-5, but after work hours I will be fully attentive to your dog. During the weekends I typically stay home with plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I live in an apartment complex with a lot of open grass. The area is not fenced, but I will make sure that your pup is safe. In addition, the complex has a dog park that I am happy to bring your dog to, upon request. I have my own dog, a sweet, one year old pomapoo to keep your dog company and play with. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands, with me.
“5/5 Stars — Absolutely Outstanding Care! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Caroline! She boarded my Miniature Schnauzer, Mikey, for a few days while I was away, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From day one, her friendly and welcoming nature put my mind completely at ease. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular texts, pictures, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear right from the start how kind, loving, and attentive she is with animals. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anyone better. By the end of the experience, it felt like a family member had taken care of my dog. I will definitely be reaching out to Caroline again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Paula — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs (a beagle and a shepherd mix) and have spent the last several years sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups or providing gentle care for senior pets, I adapt to meet each animal’s unique needs with patience, consistency, and care. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to arrive when needed and stay full-time if requested. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, supported, and loved throughout the day — and that you feel confident knowing they’re in great hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I start each day by checking in on your pets, and I aim to take dogs for a walk during my lunch break. Throughout the day, I’ll be working from my laptop nearby to make sure your pets have everything they need — from bathroom breaks and outdoor time to meals, water, and affection.

First time leaving our boy Baxter with Trista. We were going away for a week and needed to know he was taken care of. Trista sent us a daily picture of Bax while he was outside in her large fenced in yard. Could have used a little more communication, but, for first time stay, we were pleased. Baxter, who doesn’t stay behind too often, was content when we picked him up and we could tell he enjoyed his stay. Would have Trista watch Bax again. Thank you
Justin was an absolute great sitter. My pups were so happy with him. My Yorkie totally loved him as he would often nap on his lap (photos where taken). Justin fed them well, took them in happy walks, and had one on one time with them. As mentioned before he would send pictures of them, whether it was with a silly hat or napping, it helped us be less worried for our pups. He is really sweet and I would definitely recommend his services.

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 2,773 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mount Arlington. About 89% of Mount Arlington 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.
