“Christine was a great dog sitter for our two dogs Timon and Rafika. They got along well with her dog Piper and I could tell by the pictures they were comfortable and enjoyed their time playing, snuggling and sleeping in their normal comfortable spots. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies. Leslie and Rich”

“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!”
“Avigail was great with our dogs and they loved staying with her! She sent us pics throughout the day and kept us posted about everything. They came back home so tired from all the playing 😂 Definitely recommend her :)”

“My Leah is a wonderful dog but can become sad when we leave her. Joanna was amazing!!! She was very interactive with Leah the whole time she cared for her. Took her out on walks and played with her in her back yard. She also kept me updated the whole time. Sent pictures and updates. She really cared for Leah. I would give her more stars if I could. My best experience with a Rover sitter.”
“Alba was amazing! She took care of Tory so well, and Tory loved her. Everyday she would send me pictures of Tory with cute little outfits or cuddled up - I could tell how happy my baby was. It was the first time I had Alba babysit but definitely won’t be the last!”
“I hesitate to brag on Kristen so much because I want to keep her all to ourselves!!!!! She is AMAZING!!!! Kristen will treat your pet like they were her own. She’s extremely communicative, so kind, and really gave us such incredible peace of mind while we were away. Kristen, we thank you immensely for being so fantastic to Nellie!”
“Paola did a phenomenal job caring for our Kody. He has minor issues with separation anxiety and Paola made sure he had his medication each day at the appropriate time. She incorporated him right into her household and he fit right in and relaxed immediately. Her and her husband loved him as their own. The pictures and videos she sent made it apparent that Kody was relaxed and having a great time. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Paola and her husband Sebastián. Thanks for loving on him!”
“We had a wonderful initial meet and greet with Carol. Our dog doesn't take to everyone but immediately took to Carol. We dropped our dog off feeling very good about Carol. While we were away Carol sent pictures of our dog relaxing on the couch looking very happy and healthy. When we returned our dog was obviously happy to see us. Carol said the two of them had a nice time together. I would definitely recommend Carol and we will use her again in the future when needed.”
“Kim was wonderful with our Scouty! She sent lotsnof pictures, was able to tend to his medical needs, and kept him calm and happy while we were away. It was hard to leave him, as we know he gets anxious when we're away, but we had no worries once he was there. Wonderful experience! Thanks, Kim!”
“This was our first stay with Christine with our new rescue, Hank. He's a big boy, a great dane, so he's not for everyone - even though he's just a gigantic couch potato. We tried boarding him in the past, but he would become depressed and stopped eating. We made Christine aware, and she worked with us to ensure the best way to deal with this if he should withdraw. However, none of that was necessary. Hank felt at home and loved right away. Sometimes, animals just know! To be honest, I began to worry he wouldn't want to come home! Christine's communication kept us updated during the course of our vacation, so we never worried at all. Thank you Christine!”

I can't say enough how wonderful it is to be able to spend time away knowing that Melissa will be looking after our Misty. Misty loves her and is ways so excited to see her, and she is very responsive to our communications. We couldn't be more grateful to have the peace of mind we do when Misty is in Melissa's hands!
Anne was fabulous with our senior dog Nelson! She was so kind and warm. He absolutely had a fabulous time with her, her grandkids and her lovely backyard. She did such a great job taking care of him and giving him all his heart meds on his crazy schedule. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much Anne 😊

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forked River on Rover is $46.62 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 574 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forked River. 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.
97% of Forked River 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 Forked River 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 Forked River 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 Forked River.
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 Forked River 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.
