“We recently left our little guy Leo with Karen for a few days and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it was. She has a perfect home and backyard for a small breed dog and Karen kept us up to date daily on what Leo was up to. I highly recommend her services She is caring, kind and we will definitely use her services again in the future.”


“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”


“Our dog, Mickey, loved his stay with Bob and his wife. Receiving pictures of Mickey throughout his stay made our mini-vacation even that more pleasurable. We have already booked a future stay and highly recommend Bob.”

“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!”

“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”

“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”


“What a great dog sitter!! Teddy is our 11 yr old Morkie with diabetes, so he needs insulin injections every day. Teddy stayed with Megan and her husband for an entire week. They were so nice and accommodating, and going out of their way to make Teddy comfortable in his nighttime routine. Their two little dogs got along well with Teddy, and I got pics and a short caption most days. When I picked him up, he was as happy and lively as when I dropped him off. I will definitely be using Megan again!”
“Rachel was an excellent sitter for our dog Norman. Her house was warm and inviting, and had a very spacious yard with beautiful well kept grass. Her attention to detail while watching our dog, and photos/video throughout the stay was so reassuring while we were away. We will definitely book Rachel for our next away stay. Absolutely wonderful!”

About: Ever wish you knew someone in town who could care for your pet as lovingly as you do? Well, now you do! I provide private boarding in my home, individual pet sitting in your home, and fun & attentive walks. I am extremely tuned in to your pet's comfort, safety, and enrichment. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of physical and mental exercise and has lots of fun doing it! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Over the last 2 years, I've had the experience of caring for my senior (17-year-old) dog who became both blind and deaf. I am especially happy to provide care for your senior or special needs dog. I'm comfortable diapering, giving drops and meds, changing wee wee pads, and doing extra clean up. Caring for pets is my main job so I have availability 7 days a week. I am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I am available. For boarding or doggie day care, your dog will be in my large, puppy-proofed living room. I have half a dozen cozy dog beds, dog toys, and treat puzzles. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture. Our Paw-ncierge Kessie is a very calm, 9-year-old Shih Tzu. She is dedicated to welcoming all furry friends 24/7, 365 days a year. My house is located 5-minutes from the beach, 10 minutes to the dog beach in either Asbury or Spring Lake, and about 10 minutes from the Off-Leash Dog Parks in Neptune and Wall. My backseat is set up with cozy dog beds and a pet hammock for safety.

“Danielle did a remarkable job sitting Basil over the holiday weekend. Basil was very well taken care of and was sad to leave when I came to pick him up. Danielle was also incredibly flexible; she allowed us to pick up Basil at a different date / time than we previously agreed upon. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough :)!!”

“My pup Django loved his time with Carol Ann! She is the sweetest and spent lots of time with him - he even got sick to his stomach halfway through the trip and she made sure to nurse him back to health. Had no worries at all while away on our one week vacay!”


“Let me start by saying that I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dog with a new sitter, I have only left my pup one other time and it has been with family and as this was not possible I reached out to Cristy! Cristy has been walking my dog intermittently and has always been prompt and reliable! The board visit was no different! She promised frequent pics and updates and she delivered! You could tell my dog was having fun and was very well cared for! Cristy will be my go-to boarder as long as she is taking clients!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Carly is wonderful! She babysat my dog, Fig, a few times over the summer, and he absolutely loved spending time with her and her sweet corgi, Willow. I felt completely at ease knowing Fig was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”

“Sydney was very sweet and very professional. I could tell she took her dogsitting very seriously and could also tell my dog enjoyed being around her. I highly recommend Sydney.”

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Ocean Grove is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ocean Grove
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.

Katie is the best!! We hate leaving Loki, but we know when he’s with Katie he’s on a vacation of his own. She sends pictures/videos/updates constantly to give us peace of mind when we are missing our baby! This was our second time leaving Loki with Katie and definitely will not be the last. Going on vacation is way easier knowing our pup is happy and well taken care of.

Alexis was awesome with our doggie Kala. I would recommend her highly! She is very kind, VERY communicative in a way that made me feel relaxed that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. My dog and her dog enjoyed playing which is a big plus for us. Overall great experience.

We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!

Carol Ann and John happily accepted Juno in a pinch when I had a circumstance that required last-minute hosting. During my time away, they sent me photos and notes to let me know that she was having fun and that all was going well at their home. Their care for Juno and understanding of her energetic needs made me so comfortable. I am glad they had her for this weekend away!!! Thank you.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ocean Grove on Rover is $62.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,775 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ocean Grove. 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.
96% of Ocean Grove 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 Ocean Grove 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 Ocean Grove 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 Ocean Grove.
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 Ocean Grove 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.
