“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“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.”
“I had such an incredible experience with Meghan! This was my first time using Rover and having someone dog sit my baby that was not a friend or family member. Meghan was so understanding and was so so communicative by sending me daily texts and pics. Cannot recommend her enough!! My Scout loves Meghan and can't wait to go back!”
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.
“This was the first time I left Koda anywhere but the kennel I have always used. Janet & Katie were wonderful. Koda was very well taken care of, and happy. I am so happy I found these 2 dog lovers!”
“I can't say enough good things about Rachel! Leaving my fur baby, Lucy, was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but Rachel made it so much easier. She sent daily updates and pictures, so I could see Lucy’s sweet face and know she was in good hands. Rachel was incredibly attentive and caring, and it's clear she loves animals just as much as I do. When I picked Lucy up, she was beaming with joy and looked like she'd been well taken care of. I was so impressed with how Rachel had followed her routine and given her all the snuggles and love she needed. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Rachel, for making my trip so much less stressful and for being an amazing caregiver to my little girl!”
About: hablo espanol :) I've had pets all my life, I understand their different needs and always treat them with love, patience, and attention. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I’ve gained hands on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Whether it’s giving a senior pet extra comfort or helping a shy dog feel safe, I go the extra mile to make every animal feel at home. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the trust I build with both pets and their parents 🧡🫶🏻 ‼️PLEASE NOTE‼️ : I am full time student so my schedule changes every semester. Open communication is very important to ensure punctuality and reliable care. I’m available in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dedicated to being thoughtful and dependable, making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved every day. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets in the pet’s home. I make sure their space is clean, calm, and free from anything that could cause harm. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, and daily routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to build a trusting relationship by being patient, gentle, and attentive so your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
“Anmol & Trupti we're extremely gracious during our meet and greet which I appreciated because they're not going to take any dog. We were hosting a party and they even drove Dash back to our home late in the evening for our convenience. We wanted him protected while we had a big family party in the yard fearing that you could get out through an open gate. I will absolutely reach out to them next time Dash needs to be boarded. I highly recommend this family of loving dog owners.”
“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!”
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.
“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“AMAZING service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dogs came back home happy & i had constant communication with Elias during the dogs stay, which was great, he even sent a few videos and pictures of the dogs at his house during the stay that made me miss them a little less; would and will repeat without a doubt! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much to Brian and his family for watching our girl, Olive! We’ve only left her in someone else’s care once before and I always get so nervous but after doing a trial with Brian and his regular day care dogs, I was 100% put at ease. She got along well with the other dogs and even the family cat! We got picture updates every day and communication was always super prompt. Olive gets dehydrated food and medication twice a day, she’s not the easiest dog to dog sit but Brian assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem. The fenced in back yard was so amazing for her to run around in and I would highly recommend Brian to anyone else looking for daycare or boarding. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!”
“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 ?????”
“Lorrie watched my two pups for 4 days the second week of April. It was apparent from our initial meeting in March that she really loves animals and that she knows her stuff. Lorrie indicated that her previous career was a veterinary technician for many years, which put my mind at ease. Her home is set up perfectly to attend to the needs of the dogs in her care. The home features a large, fenced in yard which allows dogs to get their outdoor time several times a day. She sent me daily text updates which included photos of my dogs. Being 600 miles away, the daily updates were very much appreciated. When I picked up my pups they were happy, healthy and they both gave her farewell kisses. Nice! I highly recommend Lorrie to anyone considering a pet sitter while you are out of town.”

Jessica was great! She took great care of my big guy (95 LB Mastiff/Hound mix) Frankie, taking him on several walks a day as well as making sure he got his daily medication. I received updates everyday that included pictures and videos. Frankie did have some separation anxiety but Jess made sure to spend lots of time with him to make him feel comfortable. Couldn't recommend her more!

There are 1,445 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakewood. About 91% of Lakewood 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.

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.
