“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“Hi All, Amber took care of my little munchkin Satue for a week. When we first met Amber, Satue couldn't wait to jump into Amber's arms. It was too cute ?❤️ I felt very comfortable leaving Satue in her care. Satue made new friends and enjoyed herself with Amber. The daily uodates of photo & texts Amber provided assured me Satue was in great hands! ❤️?? Amber, thank you so much for taking such terrific care of my baby Satue! We will see you again real soon. ?????”
“We will def be repeat customers. Thank you so much for the care and constant updates throughout our trip! We can always tell from our pup on the ride home if they had a good stay and we def saw that Kaia was treated and pampered during her stay! Thank you so much Rebecca!”
“First time leaving my Ziggy with a complete stranger and I was sooooo nervous! Larissa kept me updated on his progress with many pictures and communication. She is definitely my all time pet sitter!”
“Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated. She is caring and offered suggestions about diet and treats and worked with her on her first nite getting to sleep in a strange place. Her large doodle ended up being a great play buddy outside. We will use her again for sure.”
“Eldeen and her family are such great pet sitters. I was extremely hesitant to leave my pet with some complete strangers but, my doubts were immediately dismissed once I met Eldeen. My pet was so comfortable with their home, she couldn’t wait to explore their home. I would recommend Eldeen but I want to keep them a secret. 😊”
“We found Stephen to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. He is very caring and loves playing with your pet. Stephen and his family quickly bonded with both Sandy and Beau and provided excellent care. He is very attentive and conscientious. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and knowledgeable person to care for their furbaby. His rates are very reasonable, and he provides exceptional service.”
“We are so happy we found Laurie to take care of our 12 year old Aussie. After the initial meet and greet she was able to take him in for a few nights while we were on travel at the last minute. Laurie is super friendly and you can tell she really cares for the pets she’s watching. All of the other dogs that she watches were all really friendly as well and we are really grateful that’s he got a lot of playtime in her fenced in back yard. Laurie was also super communicative and sent multiple updates and pictures everyday which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Camryn & her husband were lovely & they took excellent care of our very small 9 year old dog while we were away for the weekend. She sent photos daily & was in communication as needed.”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. I never worry for a second if my 2 babies are okay. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when I need her. My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“We loved Heather! She took amazing care of Willow. With using Rover for the first time I was so nervous to leave Willow but heather made me feel so comfortable & assured me”
“Kristina was absolutely wonderful with Callie and Sylvie! We needed care pretty last minute due to having to travel out of state for a funeral, and she was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and friendly from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure our girls were comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. I was initially a little hesitant about how they would do in a home with multiple kids since they aren’t around smallerchildren very often, but they had no issues whatsoever! They loved all the extra attention from Kristina’s boys and also enjoyed spending time with their dog, Teddy, and even their cat. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Callie and Sylvie were being cared for and treated like part of the family, especially during such a difficult and unexpected trip. We’re very grateful to Kristina and her family for taking such great care of our girls and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!
About: Hi there! Backed by a professional background in grooming and large-scale facility work, I offer your pup the kind of specialized care they deserve. My small-scale, personal approach ensures every dog gets dedicated attention in a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home setting. Guests enjoy a fully climate-controlled indoor space featuring their own designated area and personal cot to relax and sleep soundly. Plus, a built-in doggy door gives them 24/7 access to a secure, 3,000-square-foot outdoor run within my fully fenced yard (cameras coming soon!). Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. We treat every guest like family, ensuring your fur baby stays comfy, cozy, and completely pampered. With years of experience in large-scale facilities caring for over 150 dogs at once, we bring big-facility safety standards to a warm, personal setting where your pup is always our top priority. We provide around-the-clock care in a secure, home-based setting tailored specifically for canine comfort. Unlike high-volume commercial facilities, our setup limits capacity to ensure every dog gets personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a cozy resting spot.
“Jessica was great. My normal sitter couldn’t watch Benji for a last minute trip and Jessica was able to watch him. Booking with her was super easy. Jessica sent multiple pictures daily and provided updates through the visit. I could tell that she absolutely loved Benji and he enjoyed his visit. He didn’t want to leave.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 678 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Long Branch. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% 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.
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 VA 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.
