“Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.”
“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!!!”
“She took wonderful care of my dog for four nights while we were on vacation. She kept me updated with pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked so happy and comfortable when I picked him up — I could tell he was well loved while I was away!”
“Manuel is friendly and informative person. He ensures that you are comfortable leaving your pet with him and updates you with pictures and messages consistently. We went away for vacation for a week, and even though we missed Patrick, we rested easy knowing he was in a loving environment. I definitely recommend him to anyone and would definitely take care of Patrick in the future.”
“Amanda and her family were fantastic with my dog, Molly! Molly was so comfortable and happy during her stay, and I really appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. Molly can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!”
“Seureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.”
“Amazing first time experience with Staci. Great communication and made me comfortable that my fur baby was in excellent hands. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”

“Darien and her family took amazing care of my pup and we are so grateful. We will absolutely be back! She worked with me for a pre meet and greet for myself and my pup. She got my dog to be more comfortable with her food and her surroundings in a new place with ease.”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“Cheyenne was very patient with Jeremiah. He was hiding most of the time he was with her. Yet she still would find him and send us pictures daily. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Andrew took great care of our senior Pitty Sommy, he immediately struck us as very friendly and felt like extended family throughout the whole process. His home is beautiful with a gated yard for plenty of space and grass for our Sommy. Andrew made sure to update us with photos throughout the stay, and made sure Sommy was well taken cared for. We will definitely book with Andrew again, without hesitation.”

She sent pictures, videos, and updates while we were away so we still felt connected and in the loop. She gave him tons of exercise and love so he felt right at home 🥰 Highly recommend and will book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Short Hills
The sitter is an exceptional one. This lady was very attentive from the beginning before we booked the appointment and took the time enjoy our Asher and to send pictures. They communicated with me often and did everything we asked for, such as playing with the dog, taking him for walks, and following his daily schedule. I will definitely book them again.
Kayla and Vanessa were wonderful hosts for our dog Cusco! They are super sweet and welcoming, and have lots of experience. They sent us cute photos the entire stay and Cusco looked very happy. Communication was topnotch--thorough and transparent. They really took the time to get to know Cusco's needs/schedule/personality. Peace of mind is priceless when it comes to care for our furry ones, and we definitely had that. 100% would rebook with them. Thank you ladies!!
Connor was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Blue! From the very beginning, he was responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating, which immediately put me at ease. The updates were hands down the best I’ve ever received—lots of photos and videos that showed just how much fun Blue was having. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so happy, relaxed, and content while I was away. Blue made friends with the other pups and was clearly in heaven :) It was obvious that Connor cared for Blue as if he were his own, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well-loved dog, and I couldn’t ask for more. I will absolutely be booking with Connor again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat their dog like family.
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.
Matthew took such good care of Noel and treated her like his own pet. You can tell he truly loves and cares for animals. He was so gentle and patient with her, especially with her anxiety. I noticed Noel had a better transition with Matthew than she had with any other sitter I have used in the past which says a lot about his character and the care he gives animals. 100% would use him again in the future. Thank you 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.

It's huge, wide open, totally fenced in, so much flat grass and even a patio for Reggie to cool off on.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Short Hills on Rover is $105.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 14,171 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Short Hills. About 88% of Short Hills 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
