“Tina took really great care of Marley! She sent pictures and kept me informed on how he was doing while I was gone. I appreciate how she made Marley feel right at home and highly recommend Tina!”
“Once again a great stay with Karen. Bud is very comfortable with Karen and her furry friends. I highly recommend her for small calm dogs who need a peaceful retreat from their normal routine.”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”
About: I’ve had many dogs growing up. 3 Shih Tzus, 1 German Shepherd, and an Australian Shepherd. I used to walk and take care of a Golden Poodle for a year nearby Long Branch. I love dogs and I’m always from my own so I’d love to take care and be around them. I’ve taken care of puppies and also my own dog who was 16 years old before she passed recently. I play soccer at Monmouth, our practices are from 10-12. Other than that, I’m mostly free. Being a senior I don’t have much class and I’m a very active person so I’d love to walk/run with dogs. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or routines. I’m very responsible and will give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates while I’m with them.
“I never worry at all when we leave our young dog with Bob. He truly treats him like he was his own. Very attentive and accommodating. He has a wonderful fenced in yard where our pup can run around to his heart content without fear of getting out. Our Teddy is very social and Bob arranges some play dates with neighboring dogs which is great. Bob always sends pics and updates us throughout the stay. I highly recommend Bob for a stress free time away knowing your pet will be in very good hands.”
“Mary was so accommodating and kind. She clearly understands dogs, and helped my dog Bryn to fit in with her pack. Her home and yard are perfect and safe for happy & healthy dogs. It was my first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for me. (I was very nervous). Thank you Mary and family! -Peggy and Bryn”
About: I’ve been around pets since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from walking and bathing to feeding, playing, and cleaning up after them. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also very patient and understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and needs. I currently do not have e a dog and only accept one dog at a time, so you’ll dog will have my sole attention. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and extended care during both weekdays and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so getting outside for walks and spending time with pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a big fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run around and play and do whatever they like. I have plenty of room in my house and your pet will be safe, fed, and happy. MUST BE HOUSE TRAINED
“Patricia was excellent. She responded to my request very quickly, and was able to watch Teeko that very weekend. Went for a meet and greet to meet her and Jagger after our request, and had no trouble scheduling that even within a small timeframe. Patricia was very patient with Teeko as he got to know Jagger, and as he was his usual hyper husky self pacing around the house and sniffing every thing during the meet and greet. She is a confident dog sitter, easy to work with, and very kind hearted. She sent us a really cute picture of Teeko enjoying his stay, which we really enjoyed seeing during our little weekend trip. Her adult daughter was helpful as well, and took Teeko for a nice walk which of course makes Teeko a very happy camper. I highly recommend Patty and definitely plan to use her again in the future!”
“Keith and his wife Jennifer are amazing with my greyhounds and my greys truly love them. They are a special breed and former racers, so they have some personalities. They always come back so content and happy. They are previous dog owners of large breeds, so I feel very comfortable to leave my sticks with them. Highly recommend.”
“Brian is wonderful! He kept our dog for three days and Charlie had a blast. Brian is very easy to deal with, great at communication and truly loves dog. We will definitely use him again.”
“Deena was amazing! Finley had lots of fun playing with her dog. She took care of my dog like one of her own and sent me updates and photos. Couldn’t ask for anything else. Would certainly book again!”
“5 stars! Sumit took exceptional care of Frodo for 3 nights. Great communication, daily updates, and a wonderful backyard for Frodo to play in. He came back a very happy dog—we'd gladly leave Frodo with him again!”
About: I love dogs and look forward to meeting your loved one! I plan on treating your pup the way I would treat my own, with love! I love getting a chance to hang out with as many dogs as possible. I have experience in dog watching my family's and friend's dogs and I want to gain more experience. I have a flexible work schedule and can accommodate your pet by dropping in to play, take your dog for a walk, or dog sit. I know what it's like to have a busy and hectic schedule and would love to help you by caring for your pet. I live near trails and like to spend walking them. Your dog will be in responsible hands until you return. I enjoy spending time with puppies as well as senior citizen dogs and every age in between. Please let me know how I can best serve your pet. I work on the road and make my own schedule so I can come visit your pet as often as needed! I love the flexibility in my schedule so that I can have multiple passions I have a cat at home but she is very friendly. I also live in Red Bank so can go for walks around town with your dog!
“Skye was amazing. It was a pretty last minute booking but from the time we met, I felt comfortable leaving Leroy. We got regular updates and photos and he always looked happy. Any concerns we had about Leroy going on a hunger strike(normal for him when he's left behind) or not going #2 on a leash were alleviated quickly. He even apparently was friendly with other dogs which can be a challenge at times. I will not hesitate to use Skye again and am confident that we just found our regular sitter when the need arises.”
“My dog Coco had such a great time at Tokar’s! She was very communicative and provided lots of updates. I was away for a few days and knew coco was in good hands! Would definitely recommend and i’m sure we will be returning!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hamilton
Michelle took amazing care of our pups, and from the many video and photo updates she sent during their stay, it was clear that they were comfortable with her and happy. She was attentive to their routine and took them on fun walks. We were so grateful for the peace of mind that we had while away, that they were with someone we could trust - and we will absolutely board Ernie and Penny with Michelle again.
Lucky enjoyed his weekend with Cheryl, Gus, family & friends:) And we are grateful to have connected with Cheryl to know Lucky was in loving, experienced hands and had a great backyard & home to feel at home in. We also appreciated the thoughtful communication and fun pictures of Lucky & friends when we were away. Thank you!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hamilton home-away-from-home, 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 Hamilton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
