“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”
“First time using Rover and having Echo stay at a house. Going in, I was really nervous knowing that I have a bit of a crazy puppy (more so for Johnathan haha) but needless to say, Echo settled in and even took a nap. Knowing that my stranger-danger wary Jindo took a liking to Johnathan, I feel safe coming back to him for future visits!”
“Bobbi helped us out with a very last minute booking and was absolutely amazing. She was quick to respond, thoughtful with my dogs needs and kept us up to date on how he was doing over the weekend. I immediately felt comfortable and Archie had a great time. Can’t recommend enough, thank you Bobbi!”
“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!”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.”
About: I am patient and will let your dog sniff around all they want. I am caring and will ensure the path your dog is walking on is safe for their paws. And I am energetic, leaving your dog tired when they come home. I will care for your dog by keeping them on a leash and bringing water for when they get thirsty. With your cat, I will first let them sniff me and warm up to me. They’ll soon cuddle up to me. I am available most days before 9am, at lunchtime (between 12pm and 2pm) and after 5pm. For house visits, I am able to stay either all day or all night and pop during the day for mealtimes/potty breaks. While in your home, I am mindful of your space and will follow your instructions. For boarding visits, I live near a park and can take your pet out 3-4 times a day. Unfortunately while I understand everyone’s needs/customs are different, I do no accept dogs that either use an indoor doggy potty or are not house trained.
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I recently lost my Beagle and while I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, I truly miss having a dog around. Caring for your pup feels like the perfect way to have some extra four legged company while giving your dog lots of love and attention! I’m responsible, patient, and dependable and I’ll treat your dog like they are my own. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine and give them a safe and loving atmosphere! I work during the school day Monday-Friday, but I’m available after work and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a clean, calm and loving home environment where your pup can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty routines, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll also keep a close eye on your dog throughout the time I’m in charge of them. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I’ll treat your dog like they are part of my family.
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful with Max. She kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of sweet photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time ever leaving Max with a sitter, and it wasn’t easy—he’s our sweet 17.5-year-old boy and can’t travel with us anymore. I missed him dearly, but knowing he was in such loving and capable hands made all the difference. We’re so grateful to have found Teresa!”
“Dawn is amazing! She took such good care of our pup! She made sure she felt comfortable and safe. She even threw her a birthday Pawty! Since it was her birthday while we were away! Dawn sent us pics and gave us updates throughout her stay. Was so happy to find her!”
“Carolina took amazing care of our 1 year old cavapoo! She has a beautiful dog Daisy who was so friendly and playful and other dogs for her to play with too. We got daily updates while our dog was in her care - with pictures too!!! Her whole family was so wonderful - we would definitely book Carolina again when we travel!”
“Amy was wonderful with our dog Jack. He’s an anxious dog who takes a little time to get to know new people and Amy was extremely patient and accommodating. We really appreciate a home where Jack feels comfortable and it took very little time for Jack to feel comfortable with Amy and her family. We will be booking again for our summer vacation boarding needs.”
“This is the second time I have left my baby in the care of Tracy (and Steve). They are amazing with him! And their updates and photos/videos let me see how happy he is! Wonderful caretakers of my precious boy ♥️”
“Our Izzy is a bit of a problemed child. But after this overnight sleepover, it was clear that she felt very comfortable with Chris. He made the entire process very easy and we are very happy that we found a sitter that we can trust. A+++”
“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!!”
“Britney was fantastic with our girl, Sydney (14 month old F Cavapoo.) I was able to book her stay with short notice and Britney was very quick to respond, both during the booking & the stay. Sydney is a velcro dog & received all the snuggles she is used to getting at home while staying with Britney & her family.”
“Brutus is my 7 year old Pit Terrier rescue . To fully encapsulate the experience he had staying with Jaclyn, I will need to describe Brutus a bit more. Brutus is very people centric. He not only requires constant attention and affection, he almost demands it. He is extremely kind and loving and often misunderstood by his appearance. He can be extremely stubborn, as is common with pits. I brought Brutus to Jaclyn for an introduction... It went very well. I then decided to leave Brutus for a few days as I traveled. It is also important to know that Brutus just came out of ear surgery, so at that time he required some medical attention, as well as extra care. The surgery and the medication, and the care weren't a problem for Jaclyn. Brutus and his stubbornness, was not a problem for Jaclyn . Brutus being afraid of thunderstorms, and his need for constant affection... also not a problem for Jaclyn . Jaclyn did an exceptional job of taking care of Brutus, showing him love and affection, and it showed when I picked him up. I received frequent updates and photos on his condition and care. Jaclyn was also extremely flexible with my change in travel, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and her husband. After trying many other options for Brutus ... I can definitively say I have found Brutus his permanent caregiver. My family and I are extremely appreciative for the love, care, and attention Jaclyn and her husband have given to Brutus. Thank you so much and we will see you soon!”
“Desi and Marilyn took excellent care of Bella. They have a pet resort in their backyard. They sent me pics/videos daily to show me what she was up to. I highly recommend them.”

Wow, Charles was truly amazing to our fur baby! He was so communicative and truly just a kind person. He spoke so highly of our Penelope and made sure to assure us she was in good hands, before and during her stay. As a dog who I’ve known to be unsure of other dogs he took the steps and precautions for safety between the other animal staying with him and even warmed them up to each other. I would book again with Charles anytime and so grateful that we found him!
We could not be happier boarding our big dog Marley with Chelsea and her family. Chelsea has such a positive attitude and she is very good with dogs and knows how to handle them. She sent many photos and videos and it was obvious to us the great care Marley was getting and the fun he was having during his five day stay. Her sweetheart dog Sundae and her kids are an added bonus! Thank you so much Chelsea!!!
Michele was wonderful with our hound mix, Wendy. We were apprehensive as we had never used a pet sitter before, especially since we were going to be away for two weeks. Wendy could be a handful, but we were kept informed about her days with numerous reports and pictures. It really seemed like our Wendy had her own little vacation! We would definitely use Michele again and would recommend her to others!
Dhurti took wonderful care of Oreo! She had great communication throughout the entire stay and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Oreo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We really appreciated her kindness and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Riti was absolutely wonderful! She watched our girl, Lady, for a few days and it was a great experience from start to finish. Riti was super communicative leading up to and during the stay, sending tons of photos, which I really appreciated. Riti took care to follow the long list of care instructions I left with her as well. I would highly recommend Riti, and I will definitely be using her again in the near future! 💖🐶
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 of Dog Boarding in Mountain Lakes is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $69 and $93 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.
As of October 2026, there are 12,843 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 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 Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes 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 Mountain Lakes.
<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 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 , 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.
