“Easy 6 out of 5. Jaimie is an excellent sitter, she made sure my pup was happy, active, and comfortable... what more can you ask for with your best fuzzy buddy. I would easily recommend Jaimie to anyone looking for the "right choice" of sitter. She is someone who clearly knows what she's doing, and is very accommodating with people's schedules. She's awesome.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Xiaoke provided for my energetic puppy Hazel. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly had a genuine love for dogs. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I can tell Hazel was happy and relaxed when I returned. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.”
“Second time using Jacqueline and another wonderful experience! One of the few I trust watching my babes for a few days. She sends lots of updates and is so easy to reach. We just know our dogs are on vacation too. Love all the outdoor time they get while they are there. Thank you so much for hosting them again!”
“First time boarding our pup was nerve wrecking but Jessica sent tons of pictures and we knew that Noodle was so well taken care of and having the best time! Thank you!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Susana is a warm kind person, she welcomed our 10 year old staffy cooper into her home and took such great care of him. great communication, lovely home, i would highly recommended Susana.”
“Stacia is a very kind & very professional dog boarder. She also has a very pleasant personality. I received daily pics and videos of my 2 dogs while I was on vacation for 5 days. Stacia kept me inform with how the dogs were doing day to day, their eating habits how healthy their stool was and how comfortable they were just being at her location. I really appreciated how clean/manicured and dog friendly her backyard yard was for the dogs to run & play. I would absolutely use her services again & recommend her to a friend or family member that needs boarding. 10/10”
“It’s a YES. If you’re worried about leaving your pup somewhere then stop worrying and book with Sam. She’s the dog whisperer. She understands dogs. It’s just that simple. Clean safe environment for your dog. Beautiful fenced in backyard for your dog to play. Brand new 6 foot vinyl fence with no gaps in it. Smaller dogs will not sneak out. Super friendly person who sent us updates and pics all day long. This made us feel safe. Our 9 month old Lab was literally on a vacation. She even has extra beds and tons of treats and toys. We will be booking again with her soon. Easy access to drop your pup off too. Great location. Quiet safe neighborhood. Samantha checks off all the boxes so you can stop looking and just request her now!!!!”
“I had the best experience with Melissa! This was my first time using a sitter with rover and she was very informative! She sent updates and pictures/videos multiple times a day. I will definitely use Melissa for any future trips I have! Thank you for taking care of my fur baby”
About: l've cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including young pets and those needing extra patience. I have experience raising, socializing, and looking after animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I'm dependable, detail-oriented with routines (feeding, playtime, litter/cleanup, walks), and I always make sure owners get regular updates and photos while they're away. I’m available for pet care on Fridays after 5:00 PM and anytime on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care during those times. I’m happy to accommodate drop-ins, check-ins, or sitting during those days and will make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. When caring for pets in my home, I introduce them slowly to the environment and keep them separated at first if needed to help them adjust safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep a clean and calm space, and make sure pets are supervised and well cared for at all times. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Nirvana did an excellent job taking care of our dog Milo. Always texting and sending pictures to assure me he was doing well. She was very patient and understanding of how I felt leaving him for 11 days.”
“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”
“Dhruvit has watched our dog several times and she is always well taken care of. He is organized, responsive to any questions or requests and sends many photos. I would continue to use him in the future.”
“Bonnie watched our dog on our wedding day, and she was amazing! She gave us updates throughout the day and made the whole experience completely stress free so we could fully enjoy our big day. She was also incredibly flexible with our unpredictable drop off times and even let us come early for pickup. Thank you so much, Bonnie!”
“Leo had a great time with the wonderful family. He loved the company of the kids so much I think he was slightly resisting to come with me when I went to pick him up. Got very regular updates along with pics and we would keenly look forward to them. Thank you again for being wonderful hosts for Leo and taking care of him so nicely.”
“Cream Cheese had a wonderful time with Shelley and his new doggo buddies. He settled in and got comfortable quickly. I was impressed with the level of care and communication throughout his stay.”
“Yvette is hands down the absolute best!! I wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone else. She is so trustworthy, responsible, kind, and loves your pets just as much as you do. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Patricia and her son are amazing dog sitters. My 4-month old beagle Toni was happier than I’ve ever seen her. Patricia updated me and sent me pictures throughout my entire time away. I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew Toni was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will continue using her services in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Pam was very welcoming and knowledgeable about all dogs! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel comfortable for my dog to be dropped off. Will definitely use her again. She also sends daily pictures of my dog and it”

Samantha was amazing! She was great with communication, sent photos, videos, and updates. She made me feel comfortable about leaving our dog with her. We felt like he was in great, loving hands. She was also flexible with early/late pick up/drop off times, which we appreciated.
Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of 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 Pet Boarding in Matawan on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 12,668 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Matawan. About 88% of Matawan 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.
