“Bob and his wife were excellent with our pup! I was a little anxious leaving him because this was our first time with Bob, and we were out of the country, but he had a great time. Bob was very kind and sweet to him, with regular walks in addition to playing in his yard. It seems he had plenty of cuddles and didn’t want to leave! We will definitely use Bob again in the future, we are very happy.”
About: i’ve taken care of puppies since I was 10 years old and wrote a PowerPoint to my dad to get my own dog when I was younger lol. I’ve trained them all myself and have fed them organically and they live very happy lives. I am a nurse who is trained in every emergency case scenario and I love seeing puppies on my days off to brighten my day and to give them the love, they deserve. I work three days a week as a nurse so I have many days off and times when I am home otherwise my brother is home. That helps me as well. I am looking to do this on my days off to cheer me up after a hard shift and to love dogs. I live in apartment complex that is gated and I have a rooftop that has a dog park on it specifically for dogs as well as there are many dog parks in my area to take dogs and a lot of walking areas as well
“Megan and her husband Bryan were absolutely great with our two boys Louie and Brady. They provided us with adorable pictures, including a little backyard pool on a hot day and belly rubs! They kept in contact throughout the time we were away and we felt confident that our pups were being loved and looked after just as we would have! Thank you both :)”
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.
About: I treat every pet like family and provide patient, loving, and dependable care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who need extra patience, attention, and routine. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and their individual needs. I’m responsible, communicative, and will make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care any day of the week and at various times throughout the day. This is my full time job. I’m able to work with each pet’s individual routine and provide reliable, consistent care when you need it. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. My home is pet-friendly and secure, and I have two friendly dogs who enjoy having furry friends around. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions to help them feel right at home. ❤️🐾
“Julie was excellent, Jaxon and Lulu loved her and loved staying with her 🐾🐾🐾🐾. Thank you Julie, I am so happy to have found you and so are the pups! I feel great that we have you to take of our beloved pups!”
About: I’ve had a dogs my entire life. I love them all big and small. I’ve also fostered for the last 20 years. I love all dogs and have 4 of my own. I’d love to pamper your pup too! I am currently a stay at home mother and have plenty of free time to walk or help care for pets. I have mornings and afternoons free. I have 4 very spoiled rescues. We have a fenced in yard but I never leave my dogs outside alone. My dogs are not crated but I would crate a visiting pet for safety if I was not home.
“JoEllen has been the best sitter we’ve ever had for Scout. Scout was on a vacation during his stay! Not only did he get to be around a loving family, but he had a huge backyard to run in, trips to the beach, and even got to meet and play with a new dog friend in JoEllen’s neighborhood. JoEllen included Scout in her daily activities like picking up her daughter from school which was something I really loved. He got to do so many fun things and he came home exhausted! We got soo many pictures, videos, and updated throughout his stay which eased my mind knowing he was safe and loved. JoEllen and her entire family treated Scout like their own. Maybe a little too much since JoEllen’s daughter asked if they could keep him!! Haha Scout will absolutely be visiting JoEllen’s again in the near future. I couldn’t recommend her more :)”
“Carol was the best sitter I could ask for! She is so kind and took care of my puppy so well! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she gave me peace of mind with check ins. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Carol again.”
“Christen has cared for our pup Harper before but this was the first overnight in her home. She took great care of Harper, spoiling her with toys and privileges! Harper was happy after her stay and we look forward to Christen caring for her again when we are away.”
“It was Molly’s first time with Lorrie and it was a very positive experience. Lorrie is knowledgeable about dog behavior and very patient and caring. I highly recommend her!”
“This was the first time I’ve used a sitter from an online site. Believe me we were very, very satisfied with Michelle. She is the greatest! She treated our cat Phoebe like one of her own, and Phoebe loved her back. I highly recommend her to everyone and we will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Michelle for your kindness and your care for Phoebe.”
“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family. With that much experience, we know every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks and we love them all! We currently share our home with a sweet, high energy female boxer, who adores making new friends, so your pup will get both loving care and a playful buddy while you’re away. I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends making it easy to fit your dogs needs into my schedule. Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.
“Erica was amazing with my girl Sweet Potato! She was super responsive when I needed a sitter in a pinch, and was communicative throughout her week-long boarding, putting me at ease throughout. I will definitely request Erica to take great care of my kid in the future.”
“Sumit is a great pet sitter. He took care of Leo recently and paid attention to his needs. He took extra care to calm Leo down and made him at ease in the new environment. He kept sending occasional updates on Leo. I would recommend Sumit any day.”
“Nirvana was terrific watching our dog, Zoey. She did an excellent job keeping us updated on how she was doing, which we really appreciated. She is very sweet and wonderful to deal with me. We will definitely be using her services 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.”

We had such a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Angelica! She took such great care of Reef and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Reef was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and experience, I will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend! 🐾
I was so fortunate to come across Julie‘s profile and she seemed like the type of person that really loves animals. This was my first time leaving my dog at someone’s house, but she made me feel so comfortable. Sending me pictures and sending me messages every day to let me know that he was doing great. She has such a beautiful home and a nice lovely backyard that he could play in so he was absolutely in heaven at her house. Julie was the best and I would recommend anybody if you’re ever apprehensive about leaving your dog with someone. No fear Julie and her home is absolutely perfect!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Long Branch 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 Long Branch.

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.

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.
