“Meghan was perfect for watching our cat for an extended stay! She gave us updates with pictures and videos. We felt she was safe and happy with Meghan. We will absolutely reach out again when we need a babysitter!”
“Linda was wonderful and watched our 1 year old dog while we vacationed for the week. She took the time to send plenty of photos and took our dog on many fun walks around the neighborhood each day! Our dog was a rescue and tends to be very nervous and cautious in new situations. Linda took extra care to make sure he was happy and comfortable each day. I highly recommend booking with Linda!”
“I would highly recommend Shanice! I was so relaxed throughout my holiday because our two dogs were in good hands during their stay. I could tell they had a good time walking & playing regularly. She gave friendly, quick communication with regular updates & photos. Thank you so much! Will rebook!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lori was amazing! She gladly watched our Clarence after a comforting meet and greet. Lori is friendly and easy going and keeps a lovely, clean home. She even offered toys, treats, a dog bed and bowls for Clarence. She was very communicative and I loved receiving her photos and feedback during the days we were away. Highly recommend Lori’s services and have already planned another stay for Clarence.”
“Annie was amazing with our pup, Milo! From the moment we met, I knew he was in great hands. She sent us updates and cute pics every day, which totally put us at ease. Milo came home happy, tired (in the best way), and clearly loved. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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!”
“Cheryl was awesome. She made both my dogs feel at home. She has a huge backyard. Her own dog, Gus, is super friendly. She also sent updates and pictures daily for the 3 days they were there. BROWNIE AND BARKLEY were safe and loved. I highly recommend Cheryl.”
“Megan and her husband Bryan were absolutely great with our two boys Louie and Brady. They provided us with adorable pictures, including a little backyard pool on a hot day and belly rubs! They kept in contact throughout the time we were away and we felt confident that our pups were being loved and looked after just as we would have! Thank you both :)”

“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 :)!!”
“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!”
“Katie was fantastic! She took great of our dog for an overnight and was very conveniently located close to Asbury Park. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, replied quickly and asked good questions about providing care. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs in her care during the afternoon and settled in nicely for a relaxing night. She made sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of our pup- highly recommended!”
“I never worry at all when we leave our young dog with Bob. He truly treats him like he was his own. Very attentive and accommodating. He has a wonderful fenced in yard where our pup can run around to his heart content without fear of getting out. Our Teddy is very social and Bob arranges some play dates with neighboring dogs which is great. Bob always sends pics and updates us throughout the stay. I highly recommend Bob for a stress free time away knowing your pet will be in very good hands.”

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.
Meghan and Rob were absolutely wonderful. I had never left my Maverick with anyone outside the family and from the meet and greet through the entire stay I felt comfortable and like my dog would be well taken care of even with his history of being reactive. I received pictures and videos and they even took TV request. I would highly recommend Meghan.
We were thrilled with Kaiden. She was thoughtful and attentive with our boy and gave consistent updates to us while we were away. Our boy gets really sad when we are away but he really warmed to Kaiden. You can tell immediately how much she cares about the dogs and that's what matters most
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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ocean Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ocean Grove on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 9,916 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.
