“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!”
“Michele was great with Tito! She gave plenty of updates and photos. It was our first time using Rover in a long time, and Michele made it easy. 10/10 would definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Boo had a wonderful stay with Jillian and Andrew over Christmas. Really wished I could have taken Boo with us but was so happy that she was in the care of Jillian and Andrew. They updated us daily with photos and texts. Really nice people. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”
“Jonathan was great with our senior dog! We got regular updates and he followed all of the special feeding and med instructions that we left with our old lady. Looking forward to the next stay!”
“*Pet Sitter and Pet Boarder Extraordinaire* My husband and I were in need of boarding our 1-year-old Cavalier King Charles Toy Spaniel, Hannah, for the weekend. After unsuccessfully reaching out to friends and family, I reluctantly (and hesitantly) turned to Rover.com. Dawn's profile drew me in with her 'toy-breed' focus. We set up a meet and greet, and the rest-as they say-is history! Dawn is gifted with "caring for canines," and her home is welcoming and well-equipped for positive, social canine interactions. Rover.com put us in touch with the "Best of the Best! We are now clients for life. :) Thank you Dawn - You are truly a blessing!”
“Bobbi was great. Had a piece of mind leaving my dog with her for 3 weeks. Received daily pictures and had efficient communication. She gave frequent walks and went the extra mile to make my puppy feel at home! Highly recommend!!”
“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”
“So happy we chose Chelsea to watch our pup while we were away for a week! We received pictures and videos and she updated us throughout the week with how our dog was doing. Riley (our dog) went on walks, played outside, and even attended a birthday party! It looks like she had a blast. Riley was well taken care of and came home very happy. We are so thankful we found a family for Riley to visit for the times we need to go away without a pup. Thank you so much! You won't regret booking with Chelsea! Highly recommend!”
“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“It was such a great comfort to know that my dog was well taken care of while my family and I were away for a week. Bydette and her family were great. This was the first time that my dog had been away from us for more than a day since we first brought her home and we couldn't be happier about the experience. The daily videos showing a happy pup were something we looked forward to each day and put us at ease. We highly recommend this family!”
“Louis was a great host for my border collie Wally, for a few days! He was very responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and there were no issues. Would recommend!”
“Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“It is always hard leaving your beloved pet in a new place with people he doesn’t know. Joe and Joann were so warm and welcoming to both us and to our Rudy. They have a great fenced in yard that allowed for lots of interesting sniffs, and a loving home. Rudy is so very shy, so I’m sure he was a bit sad at his first overnight, but I know he’ll warm up to his new “spot” very quickly. We got lots of photos and encouraging comments during his stay. That helps a lot! We will definitely be back.”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend Michele highly enough! From our very first meet and greet, I knew Rosie would be in wonderful hands. Michele was warm, professional and took the time to learn everything about Rosie's routine, including her medication and all of the little details that help her feel comfortable. While I was away, Michele sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Every photo showed Rosie looking happy, relaxed, cozy, and completely at home. The best part came when I picked Rosie up. She was excited to see me of course, but as soon as Michele walked away to grab Rosie's belongings, Rosie actually ran after her! As a dog owner, I don't think there's a better compliment than that. It showed me just how comfortable, loved, and secure Rosie felt during her stay. Michele exceeded every expectation. She is kind, attentive and dependable I would trust her with Rosie again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Carol & her family were wonderful with Oscar! Since we were new to Carol, we started with a meet-n-greet, where Oscar could explore the house. When we dropped off Oscar for his stay, he ran up the porch stairs and couldn't wait to get in the house. Before we even left, he was off exploring again. Carol provided daily updates and photos. Like me, Carol works from home and Oscar found his "replacement lap" to sleep on during the day, something he was clearly happy with. Oscar was very well taken care of and we highly recommend Carol!
Pia’s stay with Charles was great. He is an awesome person who truly loves the pets he cares for. He shared pictures time to time keeping us informed of Pia’s well being. I am grateful to have met Charles and highly recommend him. We are definitely returning next time Pia needs a break from us 😊
Charles took great care of our 6-months old Goldendoodle, Maxie, during 5 days boarding. He was very responsive and made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy for the 1st time. When we picked him up, Maxie was happy, it was clear he had been very well taken care for. In fact, Maxie seemed so comfortable that he did not want to leave. We would absolutely use Charles again. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mountain Lakes on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,831 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mountain Lakes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes.
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 Mountain Lakes 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.
