“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!”
“Michelle was incredibly responsive and kept us well updated throughout. We have two dogs that can be anxious and much energy with new surroundings and she took extra special care of them to make sure they felt comfortable. Would love to board with her again the next time we’re in the area!”
“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.”
“Best experience with Annie!!! She was consistently sending updates/pics and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Juno was socialized and soo exhausted when she came back, which was a great sign to confirm how much fun she had all weekend. Thank you again, I will 100% be booking again and highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a high-touch dog care experience.”
“Karen is fantastic! She is personable, attentive, flexible, and so welcoming! My dog had a very engaging and active 5 day stay with Karen and her two pups and other guests! Bo came home exhausted from all the fun he had! I knew Karen’s place would be the perfect vacation home for Bo on my first visit when she took detailed notes about his behavior and his care. I was so pleased with the thorough and friendly updates with pictures of Bo each day! We will certainly be using Karen again!”
“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
“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.”
“Just got home from picking up my puppy from Michelle and couldn’t be happier and impressed. Michelle was great with her and shared photos and video of Blu playing. Which put me at ease, since Blu is just a puppy and this was my 1st time leaving her with anyone. And she is so close to me which is also a plus. Will definitely use Michelle again.”
“My doggies love their stay at Julie’s! They immediately felt comfortable (and so did I!). Julie is a great communicator and provided updates and photos regularly even for for an overnight visit. Marley and Winnie were happy and tired upon their return home, what more could I want?”
“JoEllen was the absolute best with my dog Daisy! The love and care that she received during her stay was above and beyond what I had ever expected. JoEllen made me feel at ease with leaving Daisy for the first time with someone other than a family member. She treated Daisy as if she was her own dog. I can not thank her enough for all that she had done. I will definitely us her again without a doubt!”
“Jennifer had to give a lot of special care to my senior Italian Greyhound and she did an amazing job! My 16 year old Iggy stayed with Jennifer for a week and I look forward to having him stay with her again.”
“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!”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”

Michelle was incredibly responsive and kept us well updated throughout. We have two dogs that can be anxious and much energy with new surroundings and she took extra special care of them to make sure they felt comfortable. Would love to board with her again the next time we’re in the area!
Danielle took amazing care of our 13yr old frenchie, Honey. She is a knowledgeable caregiver and great with up dates on Honey’s stay. We had Danielle pick up and drop off Honey as well and she was responsive to changes in time and prompt. I highly recommend Danielle for boarding.
Meghan was absolutely exceptional! Jackson stayed with her and her husband for 5 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates and adorable pictures that put me at ease. She took care of Jackson as if he were her own, with nice walks, treat games, and we even brought home a special piece of art he made! It was clear how much love and attention she gave him throughout his stay. I would 100% book with Meghan again and cannot recommend her enough.
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.
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.
Lori was perfect! She was so cheery and excited to meet Watson that he felt comfortable IMMEDIATELY! Watson had a great visit. He was perfectly spoiled by Lori. We would use Lori over and over again if we just lived closer. But next time we find ourselves in the area, we know we will be giving Lori a call. Watson would be so happy to visit his new friend :)
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 can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!
Sydney was amazing with our senior dog, Maggie! As an older dog, Maggie requires multiple medications and can be very particular about the people she trusts, so finding the right sitter is incredibly important to us. Maggie absolutely adores Sydney, which speaks volumes. Sydney was patient, attentive, and took such wonderful care of her, making sure all of her medications and needs were handled perfectly. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and had complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter!
Best experience with Annie!!! She was consistently sending updates/pics and made me feel so comfortable while I was away. Juno was socialized and soo exhausted when she came back, which was a great sign to confirm how much fun she had all weekend. Thank you again, I will 100% be booking again and highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a high-touch dog care experience.
Carol was the best sitter I could ask for! She is so kind and took care of my puppy so well! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she gave me peace of mind with check ins. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Carol again.
Marc exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond. Did a meet & greet last minute,took her even though she was sick.Had no problem giving her medication. Took lots of pics and videos to ease my mind. Answered all my concerns. Washed her blanket casue it got stained. Even treated her to home made dog food. Not sure lacey is happy to be back with me! LOL. My flight got delayed 2x and Marc waited up late till i could pick her up. He's just the best.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
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 Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst 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 Oakhurst.
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 Oakhurst. 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 Oakhurst 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.
