“Anmol, Trupti, and their boys were amazing with Dunston! They are the best sitters we have left him with! They sent us so many updates (photos and videos) so we were never worried about what was happening with Dunston. You can tell that they do this because of how much they love dogs and they showered our fur baby with love. Dunston got in the car and ran back into their garage when we picked him up because he wasn't ready to leave!! This truly is the best home away from home!”
“Neli is great! We cannot recommend her enough! She took good care of our dog Toby and sent us regular updates, videos and photos. She communicated any concerns punctually which gave us peace of mind. Her house is super clean and she has a nice backyard with a small fence which was great for our little dog. Toby came home so happy and relaxed. We will definitely book her again.”
“If they had 10 stars I would give them to Meaghan. She is amazing. We left our havapoo Milo for 8 days with her. After seeing her reviews and meeting her we felt super confident and rightfully so. Milo had a great time. Her family is super dog friendly, loving, caring and genuinely want your dog to be comfortable not just watch him. The photos she sent were not just a snap shot but him doing the things he likes , like staring out a window(like he does at home) , sleeping in her husband's office while he works (like he does with me in mine), to running in the yard and playing with their dog. She gave our dog a home for 8 days not a kennel or doggie daycare(not knocking them) but this is different. I can't speak for other Rover sitters but Meaghan made a customer for as long as she wants to do this. Great person, great family, great dog sitters.. Thanks Meaghan for everything.”
“What a wonderful and nice couple who took excellent care of our dog. They were super helpful on timing of pickup and drop off and sent us photos daily. I highly recommend them!”
“We had an exceptional experience with Monika, who boarded our pup for the weekend. From the start, her communication was prompt and friendly, putting our minds at ease. During the stay, Monika sent regular updates, including pictures and videos, showing that Chief was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that she treated Chief like one of her own, which meant the world to us. We highly recommend Monika to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”
“Thank you so much to Elina and her wonderful family for taking care of Jax! She watched our dog for 2 1/2 weeks and it went so well. This was our first time using Rover and we will absolutely be using Elina again for the next time we go away! Elina responded quickly to our request and made sure to keep us up to date with how Jax was doing while we were on our trip. She has a wonderful backyard where Jax really enjoyed running around and playing in the sun! Thank you again for making our first Rover experience so great Elina!”
“Liia was an amazing sitter for my pup River - she gave regular updates with photos and videos, and it was clear River had the best time with constant stimulation, walks and cuddles. Liia definitely loved River as if she were her own! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trusted sitter for your dog. We will be going to Liia again!”

“I cannot begin to put into words how amazing Yvette is. She truly is something special. My 7month old German shepherd, Cooper, absolutely adores her. I left him with her over night and I knew he was going have the best care with Yvette. She updated me through the stay and I could see that Cooper really was happy staying with her. Look no further if you need a trustworthy and loving caretaker for you furry family member.”

“We couldn't be happier with Amanda. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily check-ins, communication was clear and reassuring. Loved getting plenty of photo and video updates which gave us total peace of mind. Amanda handled him very well there was a lot of play time for Teddy and he was very happy at her place . We will absolutely book with her again!”

Liia was an amazing sitter for my pup River - she gave regular updates with photos and videos, and it was clear River had the best time with constant stimulation, walks and cuddles. Liia definitely loved River as if she were her own! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trusted sitter for your dog. We will be going to Liia again!
Geremy was a wonderful and attentive dog sitter. I knew Hachi was in great hands the moment I left him. While he was in Geremy’s care, he was taken on several walks a day, played with and monitored frequently. Geremy responded quickly and provided daily updates so I knew how Hachi was doing. I would recommend Geremy to anybody who is looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter.
This was our first time boarding our dog Bolt and am so glad we found Sumit! He paid great attention and cared for bolt like one of his own. He kept us updated about Bolt including pics and videos and honestly Bolt was having more fun than we did on our vacation 🙂 he was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup times. Thanks so much Sumit for taking care of Bolt like family! You put us at ease with this entire boarding experience.
Jason is an amazing dog sitter. He is responsive, kind, professional, and attentive. He has excellent communication and is a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Jason for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Jason for taking such good care of Charlie over the weekend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Freehold is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $54 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,516 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Freehold. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
95% of sitters in Freehold 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 Freehold 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 Freehold.
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 Freehold. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Freehold 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.
