“Oscar stayed with Meg for 21 days when we were on trip to India. Awesome family. They took care of Oscar as their own dog. We were updated everyday. Never worried about Oscar. Thanks Meg & family”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“This was our first time leaving Teddy for an extended stay with anyone outside our home and from start to finish we felt reassured and confident that our dog was in the best hands! Anmol & Trupti loved our dog as if he was their own! Frequent texts and pictures were so appreciated and we cannot thank them enough for caring for Teddy!”
“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.”
“This is the 2nd summer we left our dog with Brian and his family. My dog is older and had some health issues this past year. We were a little nervous but Brian took such good care of him before we knew he would be in excellent hands. We were right. Brian updated us whenever we asked and sometimes even before we asked. We always got pictures and Brian responded very quickly whenever we texted. I highly recommend Brian if you want your dog with someone who is dog savvy and understands how much you worry when you leave a pet behind. Personally, I think my dog was a little sad to leave this time🤣”
About: I have 25 years bird, cat, guinea pig & dog experience. It would be my pleasure to take care of your pets. I am an active animal rescue volunteer that is passionate about caring for animals. I currently have a 14-year old diabetic cockapoo (I'm comfortable administering insulin and other meds) and a 11-year old shih tzu puppy mill mother. My family and I have participated in the Pets with Wings program and brought homeless puppies back from St. Thomas. I also volunteer with Happy Homes and clean and socialize the cats at Petco Marlboro every Wednesday morning. I work a flexible job and set my own schedule I can be available when needed mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends when your pet needs care. I will arrive at your home on time and follow your detailed instructions for caring for your pets. I can clean cages, litter boxes, walk pets, feed/water, administer medications and brush if needed.
“Kayla & Family were amazing with our English Bulldog Bella, She kept us updated with pictures of Bella throughout her stay & I could tell she was in great care. She kept her impeccably clean. I highly recommend Kayla and woukd certainly use her services again & referr her to friends & family. Thank You Kayla once again for treating Bella like she was one of yours.”
“Our dog, Mickey, loved his stay with Bob and his wife. Receiving pictures of Mickey throughout his stay made our mini-vacation even that more pleasurable. We have already booked a future stay and highly recommend Bob.”
“Sarah was amazing. First time I was away from my dog and she made the entire process stress free. She came out and hugged the dig and took her right in to meet her family and dogs. She sent me lots of pics and had her ready when i picked up after my trip. You can tell Cinnamon felt at home and at ease. Will use her again and again!”
“What a wonderful, caring person Karen is! We so appreciate her loving care of our elderly pug. Updates and pictures were provided often, and I know that he felt right at home with her and her two sweet doggos.”
“Our Brooke stayed by Radwa while we were off on a family vacation for 7 days. Brooke was very well taken care of and a very happy girl when we got home. She loves Radwa, her family and her pups. It’s nice to be away and not have to worry about your beloved pup. We highly recommend Radwa.”
“At first I was a little nervous to leave my guy Tedy but Monika calmed my fears. She took wonderful care of Tedy and he was happy. I will definitely use Monika’s services in the future!”
“Our senior dog had a very nice stay with Angela. Angela sent me several photos throughout our dog's stay and I could see that he was happy. There is a nice enclosed grass backyard that allowed our dog to romp and I think he enjoyed that.”
About: I provide structured, attentive dog care in a calm home environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and well-managed. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent supervision throughout the day. I focus on reinforcing calm behavior and clear boundaries so dogs can settle quickly — especially when they’re in a new space away from their guardians. I grew up with a cocker spaniel my family rescued from an abusive home, which taught me early on the importance of patience and understanding a dog’s emotional state. As an adult, I cared for an active young pit bull for two years, which deepened my experience working with different temperaments and energy levels. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lucky, who is well-socialized, gentle, and respectful of other dogs’ space. He helps create a calm, balanced environment for visiting dogs. Our day typically starts between 7–8am with outdoor time in the backyard, followed by breakfast and a relaxed start to the day. Because I work from home, dogs are never left alone for long periods and can settle into a steady, predictable routine. I live in a quiet, low-traffic area in a ranch-style home with very few stairs — ideal for dogs of all ages, including seniors. My home includes a fully fenced half-acre backyard for safe outdoor time and fresh air.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Freehold on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,522 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Freehold. 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.
94% of Freehold 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 Freehold 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 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.
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.
