“Vanessa took the best care of our 20 week old puppy during his first stay away from us. She went above and beyond to reassure us and even help with some training along the way to improve his leash skills. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful and knowledgeable person take care of our baby. We will be sure to reach out to Vanessa again to watch Leo for future overnight visits. Plenty of updates and pictures to help provide added ease of mind. Thank you Vanessa ?????”
“Needed a sitter to care for our little super mutt, Buddy. Met Nancy before our appointment to see if Buddy would be a good candidate. They got along famously! On day of appointment we had to drop him off early and Nancy was very understanding. Buddy had a great day. Nancy sent photos and texts and our minds were at ease. He had a grand time,and we will ask Nancy to watch him whenever we are away from home.Do not hesitate to call Nancy.”
“Crystal and her family were great and our little guy had plenty of love and attention from all of them. He came home happy and healthy and very well cared for. I highly recommend Crystal and will be using her again very soon!”
“I reached out to Karen on Rover bc i needed someone to watch my dog while away on vacation. Karen is fantastic. She set up a meet and greet prior to my trip so that my dog could meet her and her two dogs. They got along great at the initial meeting, and I booked my dog’s 4 day stay. While I was away, I received daily check-ins and photos from Karen. I am very satisfied and will use Karen again for any future trips.”
“Christine was incredibly kind and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay by sending multiple photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She has plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play, was extremely responsive despite our last-minute request, and made the entire experience seamless. I would absolutely recommend her and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Ricky’s second time with Alba and she is amazing. Always feel so relaxed while he is there knowing he is in good hands. So many cute photos sent of him while we were away. She is VERY accommodating as well. ♥️”
“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 😊”
“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Meghan and Rob were absolutely wonderful. I had never left my Maverick with anyone outside the family and from the meet and greet through the entire stay I felt comfortable and like my dog would be well taken care of even with his history of being reactive. I received pictures and videos and they even took TV request. I would highly recommend Meghan.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Vickie and Heath were amazing with our two dogs. Always reaching out to give us updates and going above and beyond to make them feel like they were loved and part of their home. We could not have asked for better sitters.”
“Max and family spent time with Archie last minute for me. They were very attentive communicative and updated with pictures throughout the night. If I’m ever in a bind in the Manalapan freehold area, I definitely will be using them again. Archie had a blast.”
“If you are looking for the absolute best for your pet - this is what you want. Tom is amazing! From our meet and greet, to checking vaccination records, then taking all of our dogs needs into consideration , and sending pictures and videos ! I have photos of my dog that looks like I paid a photographer ! What an experience. Five stars isn’t enough. Tom is the best, hands down, for you and your pets needs. Don’t look any further , book and rest easy whatever your plans. Enjoy! Thank you Tom for taking of Buddy like he was family! My buddy has new friends, and I will never hesitate to take a vacation again. It ended up being a vacation for my pup too !”
“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!”

There are 561 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Forked River. About 89% of Forked River 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.

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.
