“Jen was super flexible on drop-off & pick up times & extended schedule. She was proactive in sending photos of my dog from walks & generous in using extra dog booties on my dogs paws to keep him cleaner. Last minute I had some probiotics & med to give my dog & she was ok with that too! I would definitely be confortable leaving my fur baby with Jen & highly recommend her.”

“We are incredibly thankful to Rajan for boarding our dog, Loki, for a little over two weeks. Loki was so well cared for and looked genuinely happy throughout her stay. She loved getting to play with other pups, which made the experience even better for her. Rajan is clearly an animal lover and treated Loki as if she were his own. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for the care and attention Rajan provided and would highly recommend him.”

Tiara was amazing with Bucket while we were traveling! She sent daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated and looked forward to every day. Bucket needed a little time to settle in, but Tiara made a few thoughtful accommodations for him and he became so comfortable there. When I picked him up, he seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. The sweetest touch was the goodie bag Tiara sent Bucket home with, full of fun toys, treats, and even custom accessories. Such a thoughtful surprise! Thank you, Tiara, for taking such good care of my big baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter.
Our pups had a great time with Conner! We received frequent photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful to see the girls getting plenty of playtime with the other dogs staying there—they looked like they were having a blast! Conner was excellent with communication and kept us updated the entire time. It was obvious from the videos that YoYo and Zoe were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He even made sure Zoe got her medication, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Conner again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!
Vanessa took great care of our dog. Piper enjoyed her stay! We received updates and photos daily. She knew how to manage my dog’s temperament with certain people and my dog ate well while we were away. I highly recommend Vanessa as a dog sitter and would have her stay with her again.
Sharon took great care of my dog over a long weekend! She was very communicative both in booking, scheduling and confirming. She sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! It gave me peace of mind to know everything was ok. It was clear that my dog was well looked after at her house! I will definitely use her again.
Anna is such an amazing doggy host. Theo was so adorable and friendly. Her backyard is absolutely perfect. It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on. Reggie didn't want to leave when we picked him up and when we got home Reggie fell asleep so quick. It was such a relief to find such an amazing host who treated my dog like her own. 5 ⭐️'s all around!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Short Hills on Rover is $97.68 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 13,714 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Short Hills. 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.
95% of Short Hills 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 Short Hills 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 Short Hills 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 Short Hills.
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 Short Hills 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.
