“Dawn was amazing. Our dog is a puppy and she treated him as if he was her own. She sent a ton of updates and kept us in the loop at all times. We would definitely use her services again!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats my entire life. I am the full time caretaker for all of my pets I have ever had. I find great joy in loving animals and will treat your pets the same way I do mine. I work full time so I am available for drop ins early morning or after 4:30 pm. I can also provide overnight sitting on weekends or any day in the summer. I will follow all guidelines left for your pet and make sure your house is safe and secured if staying in your home. You can rest assured your fur baby and home is in good hands. I work full-time in the public school system, fingerprinted, and bonded, so you can feel safe having me around your fur baby. My husband is retired and home and loves to snuggle on the couch with all of them! I can guarantee you plenty of love ❤️❤️❤️ You will receive frequent and detailed updates and plenty of adorable pictures and videos of your fur baby. I strictly follow your specific instructions in routine to keep your fur baby safe secure and stress-free.
“Trupti and her family were very friendly and provided an amazing stay for our high energy beagle. Trupti was very prompt on sending updates and was keen on knowing all the things about my dog to make sure my dog feels like home. They have a huge secured backyard which is a huge plus. Would love to come again for dog boarding.”

About: Hi, I'm Ashlee! 🐾 Thank you for stopping by my profile! I know choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision because they're so much more than "just a dog", they're family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I offer: 🐶 Dog boarding 🏡 House sitting 🚶 Dog walking 🦴 Drop-in visits Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I share my home with my Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley, who has taught me just how unique every dog can be. Caring for him has shown me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and at home. I'm also comfortable with: 💊 Administering oral medications 🐾 Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors ❤️ Providing individualized care based on your pet's routine and needs Communication is one of my top priorities. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your booking, along with prompt responses if you ever want to check in. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is staying overnight, going for a walk, or just needs a drop-in visit while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give Finnley. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you both 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have my own Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley! My schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, playtime, enrichment, and making sure he gets plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for your pet, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing regular potty breaks, going on walks, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for and always make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle handling to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, along with prompt responses if you have any questions or would like to check in. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a complimentary meet and greet before a first booking. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and to feel completely confident that they were cared for like family.
About: I absolutely love cats and dogs and hope to have my own one day. I grew up with a yellow lab and a cocker spaniel who still have a huge part of my heart. Until I have my own, I’m happy to help others when they need supervision for their pets. I work from home and am available to keep them company ♥️ I work full time from home and have a huge yard so they would be well taken care of and attended to on a daily basis. I have a fenced in yard but would keep them inside most of the time (unless you prefer otherwise!). My house is a ranch so if steps are a problem - we won’t have issues here!
“We love having Kayla and her family watch our pups! We have used her services multiple times and will continue to do so for as long as we can. We highly recommend her for anyone in the central NJ area!”

About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Debi made everything so easy and took great care of our dog, constantly sharing updates and pictures. Her house and property is set up perfectly. She was also extremely accommodating and patient when helping us with some unique requests for our wedding day. I would recommend Debi to anyone in need of boarding.”

“My goldendoodle Ozzy stayed with Nora while we were away on our one week cruise. Nora provided the very best care and love for our Ozzy and sent consistent communication and pictures of him resting, enjoying his walks, and playing outside in the snow! We will definitely use Nora for any of Ozzy’s future care needs!”

About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
About: Always happy to send updates so you know your pup is doing great. I respect your pet routine. Every visit and walk will be treated with patience, safety and lots of attention. My work schedule allows me time for weekday evening walks between 6 PM and 8 PM, perfect for after-work potty breaks or relaxing evening strolls. I'm available on weekends from 8 AM to 5 PM. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog is comfortable and happy. I’m especially gentle and patient with puppies and senior dogs. Your dog will be in good hands.
“Natalia and David are amazing! I have an unpredictable rescue pup and he was SO happy staying with them. I was so relieved. My dog had fun running around the back yard, going for long walks, and playing several times a day. Thank you for showering my boy with so much love ❤️”

“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Mohita is an amazing sitter and took amazing care of my pup Stella! She sent pictures throughout the entire trip and kept in contact with updates and answered any questions very quickly. Her family is very sweet and made me feel very comfortable leaving her there. Highly recommend 😊”

“I'm very happy with Samantha from Rover. She took wonderful care of my Wesley and did many extra things to make sure my dog was fed and well taken care of, we received many updates and photos. We couldn't be happier and would strongly recommend Samantha”

“Bhavani was so responsive and reliable. She sent me multiple videos and updates a day about Bosa’s feedings, bathroom breaks, and playtimes. I will definitely be booking in the future!”

Susana was amazing with our dog Ollie! He can be nervous with new people and reactive with other dogs and she did such an amazing job of putting him at ease and is very experienced working with all types of dogs. We will definitely be using her in the future when we need someone to watch Ollie. He was so well taken care of during his stay!

Thank you Maria for taking so good care of Sunny . You have been amazing , caring, kind and very gentle. Sunny usually comes exhausted whenever he is out with dog sitter, for the first time I saw him very happy and playful after coming home from your house. I can’t thank you enough for taking such good care and being so patient and caring. Next time if I have to drop him to a baby sitter, there is no second thought. Appreciate your help
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!

This was Charlie's first time boarding at Jing's place. He had a great stay! Jing and her husband Mike gave us updates everyday and video/pictures of Charlie. Great communication the whole time. He enjoyed playing with her dog Jade and attention, love from her daughter. I know he was in great hands while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 12,641 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.

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.
