“Richard and Barbara were very warm and welcoming to me and to my dog Maia. They gave her so much attention and affection. I felt like she Maia was in very good hands with them! We will definitely be using Richard and Barbara in the future!”
“Megan and Brian were outstanding! They treated our dogs like their own and made us feel so incredibly comfortable leaving them in their care! They stayed in touch, provided constant updates and it is obvious our pups thoroughly enjoyed their dogs and their comfortable home! We highly recommend!”
“Shri did a great job watching Saela. He was responsive anytime I communicated with him, sent photos frequently, and was flexible with my drop off and pick up. We will definitely ask him to watch Saela the next time we have the need.”
“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.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
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.
“Mariana was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving her my little loved one. She provided me photos, videos, and updates and made Jettson feel like family. He was very attached to her after we departed and that spoke volumes to me. She stuck to his feeding schedule, had him play outside, took him for walks, and kept him entertained. We are so lucky to have had such a wonderful person and family watch over our loved one. She went above and beyond for us and was very understanding and accommodating.”
“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for our dog Norman. Her house was warm and inviting, and had a very spacious yard with beautiful well kept grass. Her attention to detail while watching our dog, and photos/video throughout the stay was so reassuring while we were away. We will definitely book Rachel for our next away stay. Absolutely wonderful!”
“We left our 2 dogs with Mike while we were away 9 days on a vacation this is the second stay for Marley and Sonny boy. We enjoyed all the pics and video that mike sent us! He took excellent care of our pets and he is always our first choice pet sitter!”
“Fiona is great! Our little Sherlock boy loved her! He is an old man, set in his ways but he was very comfortable with her. She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and even got him new treats. He has a nervous habit of drinking a lot of water when in a new environment. She immediately picked up on it and messaged me and watched him as he settled down into normal drinking levels. Rover and Fiona in particular were a great solution for us while camping at a no-dogs campground.”
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
“Jamie took very good care of my senior dog Teddy in her lovely home. Teddy being older cries and whines looking for his meals or just being unhappy away from his familiar home. Jamie made extra effort to keep him comfortable and kept in touch with me through texts and photos. Than you!!”
“I went on a family vacation and left my older Maltese with Mary and Aaron and he did great. Mary provided updates every day and it looked like he was having fun. He’s older and a little harder to care for but they did everything right. I would highly recommend them to other pet owners. Thank you ?”
“Gracie was so comfortable staying with Christen. We received several pictures everyday, which was very comforting. She took her on so many nice walks and played with her. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Gabby had a great time was very tired from all the fun she had. Lorie was great this was Gabby 1st stay hoping there will be many more to come. I have had Gabby at several overnight services around the Matawan and Marlboro area every time I picked Gabby up she was very dirty. I had a top notch place dropped her off just groomed and when I picked her up she was complete soaking wet and couldn’t get an explanation as to what happened. Lorie has a calmness about her even though I was a little anxious about leaving Gabby overnight by talking to her I felt very calming and safe and good clean hands.”
“Aileen and Bobby were amazing dog sitters! Very responsive and always sending pictures and updates. Tug was such a sweet boy too & a great playmate for my dog. I think my dog slept for 2 days straight after he came home he had such a good time, thanks again Aileen!”
“Angelica took amazing care of our puppa. It was the first time going away since we got him. She was wonderful with communication with us which helped ease our worry. She treated our puppa like one of her own. She is wonderful!”

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!!

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.
94% of sitters in Long Branch 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 Long Branch 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 Long Branch.
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 Long Branch. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Long Branch 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.
