“Kristen was one of the best sitters my pup has had. Her and her family took such good care of Mochi. Mochi had so much fun and felt at home. Kristen sent me many pictures and updates throughout the long weekend which I loved. She was flexible with changing the pickup time too. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was awesome with our Judge. You can see that she loves the pups and truly loves her job. We know Judge had a great time at her home because he came home nice and tired! Thank you Danielle and Judge is looking forward to seeing you again in the future!”
“We are so happy to have found Kristen. She took the best care of our dog Daisy when we had to leave town for a few days. She kept us informed on how Daisy was doing and sent pictures. Daisy absolutely loved Kristen. She settled right in at her house and was taken very good care of. We will definitely use Kristen again in the future and would recommend her to everyone we know.”
“We love Paola! She takes care of our dog as if he was her own and that’s exactly what we are looking for in a sitter. We will definitely be using her again and every time if we can!”
“I was so pleased with the care my Chewie got with Joanna! She sent me several pictures over the course of the visit and praised him constantly. We will definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“Christine was fantastic! She was very friendly, and both pick up and drop off were smooth and stress free. While we were on vacation for a week, our dog Lola stayed with her and was clearly well cared for. Christine sent periodic photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. I can see why she has so many positive reviews they’re absolutely accurate based on my experience. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.
“Deb is a fabulous sitter for my two senior dogs! She paid attention to their cues and ways. She let us know how they did each day. She gave us a full report when we returned, too. They were happy to see us when we picked them up. Thank you for taking such good care of our family members, Deb!”
“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.”
“Rebecca was easily the best caretaker for my sweet but sensitive dog I’ve found. My dog immediately took to her and felt at ease in her home. Rebecca sent photos during my time away, was very communicative, and was flexible when I had to make a last minute change. I couldn’t recommend her and her family and more highly!”
“Hedra was very responsive and attentive. He reconfirmed drop off and pick up appointments, and while we were away we received updates and photos of Ralphie, who returned home safe and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Anne was absolutely fantastic and was able to accommodate our last minute request without any issues. Our puppy had a great time and Anne took great care of her. I highly recommend Anne!”
“My 2 furbabies, Lacey and Bandit, loved staying with Scott and Amber for the week. Finding a replacement sitter on short notice was not easy, but once I met Scott, Amber, their 2 boys and 2 pups, I did not even hesitate in booking. I received plenty of pics to put my mind at ease and see my 2 pups were happy and settling in. They came home tired after all the playtime they had running after a toddler and 2 other pups. I would not think twice about booking with them again and would highly recommend them for anyone who needs a safe, friendly, active home to place their pups when they need a sitter.”
“Tony did a great job watching our dog Enzo! He made sure Enzo got plenty of play time and lots of water, and lots of trips outside!! Enzo looked content when we went to pick him up, so that says it all. Would highly recommend Tony as a pet sitter. Thanks again, Tony, for taking such good care of our boy!!”
“My pup Django loved his time with Carol Ann! She is the sweetest and spent lots of time with him - he even got sick to his stomach halfway through the trip and she made sure to nurse him back to health. Had no worries at all while away on our one week vacay!”
“Jessica is the absolute best sitter ever. She sent me daily updates and videos of my pup while I was out of the country, which made me feel so much better about being so far away! She even continued his puppy training while I was gone and taught him a few new tricks!! 1000% will be booking with her and Daniel again.”
“Fiona is great! Our little Sherlock boy loved her! He is an old man, set in his ways but he was very comfortable with her. She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and even got him new treats. He has a nervous habit of drinking a lot of water when in a new environment. She immediately picked up on it and messaged me and watched him as he settled down into normal drinking levels. Rover and Fiona in particular were a great solution for us while camping at a no-dogs campground.”

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 Light 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 Light 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 Light.
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 Light. On Rover:

You and your Barnegat Light 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.
