“Kristen was amazing with our Pup! First time ever leaving him in anyone else’s hands and she gave us such a peace of mind! Very communicative and we appreciated all her daily updates :)”
“Travis went above and beyond anything I could possibly ask for watching my dog for the weekend. He clearly has a passion for animals and a knowledge and experience that go well beyond this brand new account. he will do everything in his power to make your pet feel like they’re in a home away from home when they are in his care.”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with my Husky. I was worried since it was the first time leaving him with someone he didn’t already know. Her yard is a doggie oasis, they were so loving and attentive and made me feel at ease leaving him while we were on vacation. I will definitely be using her again, 5 star doggie treatment!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:00-4:00 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. I can do early morning visits, or late afternoon drop ins. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
“My pug enjoyed her time at Patricia’s and came home just as happy as when we left her there. There was no adjustment period for her when she came home. We were very happy with her care. Patricia sent us pictures while we were away and kept in touch. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her!”
“Daisy was very sweet and attentive to Hari. She provided us with photos and he looked content in all of them. She gave him his meds and he was walked every day. He looked clean and healthy when we picked him up. We will definitely be using Daisy again.”
About: Hi there! I’m an lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve had pets throughout my life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is full of energy, a little more laid-back, has some quirks, or requires specific care instructions, I’m happy to accommodate and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I work from home in a spacious house with a large, fully fenced-in yard, which means your dog will have plenty of room to play, explore, relax, and enjoy their day. I’m home throughout the day, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I also have plenty of indoor space to comfortably accommodate dogs of all ages and sizes. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 11 years, I’m looking forward to sharing that same love and attention with other dogs who need a safe, happy, and loving place to stay. Whether it’s daycare while you’re at work or an overnight stay while you’re away, my goal is to make your dog feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pup is being cared for like one of my own! Since I work from home full-time, pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine! I’m home throughout the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give dogs attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, and plenty of companionship. My large, fenced-in yard makes it easy for pups to get outside and burn off some energy, while there’s plenty of room inside to relax and get comfortable. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules, whether that means daytime daycare, overnight boarding, or following a specific feeding, walking, or care routine. I love having dogs around and would treat every guest like one of my own! My approach is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and right at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, dogs have plenty of indoor space to relax, a large fenced-in yard to enjoy, and someone home throughout the day to give them attention and companionship. I always try to maintain their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions their owners provide. I understand that every dog is different, so I adjust my care to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pup is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide photo updates throughout the day!
“Benny just had a wonderful overnight stay with Gwen and her family And that’s exactly how he was treated like one of the family I can’t thank them enough for being so kind understanding and patient with him. He is still a puppy and still learning how to be a perfect houseguest. I highly recommend this wonderful Family to anyone who wants the best care for their dog”
“Rosemery was excellent with my King Charles cavalier!. It was my first time using the app and leaving my three year old dog with someone who wasn’t family. She was amazing with keeping in touch and sending pictures. My dog looked so happy and comfortable to be cared for by her. I would highly recommend her and will def use her again in the future!!”
“Pat is wonderful. Her love for dogs comes through from the first few minutes of talking to her. I appreciated how thorough and prepared she was for our visit and my last minute request to sit for us as we came through Atlantic City on a road trip down the East Coast. Everything was perfect! We’ll be back next time I’m in the area!”
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“Luz and Alessandro are kind and loving and responsible dog lovers. They have a fenced and gated yard. A wooded trail almost in their back yard that they would walk my Daisy girl through. My dog loves to run and catch frisbees. I received videos of her getting that activity she loves so much. While we appreciate this, what stands out is their response to keeping my dog safe. Luz and Alessandro had a repeat 2nd dog reserved to stay a few days later. However, and unfortunately that dog showed some aggression towards Our dog. They would not accept the dog keeping. My husband and I appreciated their strong stance on this. So important to feel that your dog is in great hands. Thank you two so much. You made our personal situation better. I will recommend these two.”

“Scott and his family were the best. Our puppy loved her stay! We would highly recommend Scott. He's very personable and has everything you need to feel comfortable and everything your dog needs to be well taken care of. He went the extra mile for our puppy and let her sleep with him because at the time she wasn't sleeping in a crate. We'll be using Scott again.”
“Micheal was great with Nova while we were gone for the weekend and also sent pictures too! Michael took good care of Nova and I will always appreciate him for that! Thank you!”

Hattie’s stay with Paola was fantastic. Communication, pics and videos sent throughout each day. Lovely pet friendly home with fenced back yard for lots of zoomie time. Hattie was so at home here. I could not have asked for a better or more welcoming experience. Paola is a gem! Highly recommend!
We were so happy to have Paola and her husband Sebastian watch our dog Jasper. They were both so super sweet and kind. There home was very clean and our dog was taken very good care of.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Barnegat 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 Barnegat 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 Barnegat.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barnegat. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Barnegat 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
