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.
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“Rachel did an awesome job caring for Skye while we enjoyed the Jersey Shore. She kept Skye well-exercised, stimulated, and loved, and she kept me informed with photos, videos, and updates throughout the days! I could tell how much she dotes on the dogs in her care. I will absolutely hire her again if we need dog boarding or daycare again near Asbury Park!”
“Bob took such amazing care of my dog. He made sure to keep his daily routine to make him as comfortable as possible! He also sent me updates to let me know how he was doing. I would 100% recommend Bob to anyone and feel comfortable having my dog stay with him again!”
“Carol Ann was willing to meet us in advance for a “get acquainted” meeting. My dog, Missy Seemed to be very friendly with her (and her hubby John) is a bonus. Carol Ann kept me apprised kept good care of my Missy. Definitely looking forward to my Missy spending more time with Carol Ann.”
“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.”
“Mark and his awesome kids took wonderful care of Pearl for the weekend! She was showered with attention and got lots of exercise. Mark is really easy to communicate with and he sent me lots of updates and pics of Pearl. I highly recommend Mark and his family!!”

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.

“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!”

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!
Always an AMAZING STAY for my Mav...I have nothing but positive things to say, updates are daily, videos and pictures, Mav came home with a goodie bag and even an art project . We went on vacation and SO DID HE!! If you want your fur baby well taken care of..look no further...
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 9,788 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.
