“Paul & Kathryn took great care of Tyson and sent me many pictures, he really enjoyed being with them and their children. I had no concerns leaving him in their care and will continue to reach out them as needed...”
“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”
“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“Bob is the absolute best. We are immeasurably thankful for the care and attention he provided to our dog. Full/complete communication before and during our dog’s stay with his family, pics of our canine each day. My dog looked/acted so happy when I picked her up, I think she thought she was treated to a spa vacation. Thank you Bob for everything you did for our little lady.”
“Lorrie was great! It’s clear she knows what she’s doing when it comes to caring for dogs. Our dog had a great time. Will definitely book with her again. Thanks Lorrie :)”
“Great communication and dog sitters. They watched our dog and sent us updates with photos every day. Our dog loves kids and their little one even cuddled with her (aw). Would highly recommend and use them again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“Best dog care from Dawn, she’s always reliable this is the second time we’ve booked with her and it was amazing as always! We are already looking forward to our next booking with Dawn as our dog alway comes home happy :)”
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“My husband and I have been using Will as our personal Rocco sitter. My dog Rocco loves going to Wills, spending time with him when we have to travel for work, or back home to Boston. Will always sends me updates, and pictures of Rocco through out his stay. If you are looking for a reliable sitter. Will is your guy!”
“This is our first time utilizing Rover to board our pug Yoshi, who is 12. Susana ensured that we received pictures and short videos of Yoshi through the day and while/after he had his dinner. She was very responsive when we asked questions such if ate all his food, was drinking water and he was sleeping through the night. We felt very comfortable with Susana and this helped with the stress of leaving our senior dog while we were on vacation. We are so happy to have found Susana to take care of Yoshi. We would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Kevin is great with my dog Mocha. I feel at ease knowing she is in his care. Mocha always comes back as a happy pup, having been able to sniff around the yard and getting plenty of playtime and cuddles”
“Elvis, our Cavapoo puppy, had a lovely time at Yvette’s! Elvis was well taken care of at her place. She sent us videos and photo updates throughout the stay and even baked cookies doggie for him. He went for a long walk and loved it. He had the best time and he was so happy there thank you so much could not recommend it highly enough. He got so much love and attention ….We will be back soon!!!”

“Honey was very comfortable with Jaimie during his almost 2 week stay. This was his second or third visit here. Jaimie is very responsive and sends regular updates on his food and activities. Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matawan
This was our first time leaving our husky Blaze with William, when we had to travel. It all went very well. He was taking good care of our boy. He took him for nice walks, sent us pictures every day and communicated thoroughly. And when our flight got cancelled at the last moment, and we couldn't get back home the day we planned, William was flexible to allow us to extend Blaze's stay by one more day. Definitely would recommend him 👍
Grateful for Kayla and her family taking great care of Miles and for last minute booking. Received frequent updates. Very flexible with drop off and pick up. Looks like Miles had a great company and lots of playtime. Would like to book again next time Miles needs a home away from home. Thank you very much!
Karina took great care of Jax while we were away! She has a clean, welcoming home with fenced front and back yards, and she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay. She’s also a genuinely kind and wonderful person, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Jax in her care. He looked so happy and well cared for with her. I would definitely book with Karina again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Matawan on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,283 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Matawan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Matawan sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Matawan landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Matawan 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 Matawan.
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 Matawan 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.
