“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!”

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.
“Took excellent care of my senior dog. Followed all of my instructions, gave her lots of loving, and even took her on a field trip. Lovely caring person who I will call again. Highly recommend.🐶🐾”

“Another great stay for Boomer with Karen. So grateful for her care. He really enjoyed being part of her little pack and even returned home wearing a jaunty patriotic bandana! 😎”

About: We have owned and cared for dogs, cats,ferrets,etc since I was a kid. Currently we own a rescue that is a difficult dog that's happy I am a teacher and a chaplain intern finishing seminary just looking for some extra income. I would love to hang out with your pet! We have a fenced yard. We have also worked with two high-level trainers to help our pets feel comfortable. We have a happy dog. Insured pet sitter for your peace of mind!

About: I grew up with dogs, lived with cats, and overall have a strong love for animals. While I can’t have any own dog/pet right now due to finances and time constraints, I’d love to spend some time with your furry friend and get my steps in! I am reliable, loving, and eager to meet new people and pets. I work from 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to drive home during lunch if needed to let the dog out. I live in a one bedroom apartment with no yard, but I go on daily walks in Belmar. When caring for a dog in my apartment or your home, I would enforce the same rules the dog follows at home in terms of their routine and what is comfortable with you.
About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family. With that much experience, we know every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks and we love them all! We currently share our home with a sweet, high energy female boxer, who adores making new friends, so your pup will get both loving care and a playful buddy while you’re away. I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends making it easy to fit your dogs needs into my schedule. Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.

“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 :)!!”

“Brian is wonderful! He kept our dog for three days and Charlie had a blast. Brian is very easy to deal with, great at communication and truly loves dog. We will definitely use him again.”

“Nancy was absolutely fantastic with Cash. He's got some special needs, and she did an absolutely awesome job committing to his needs. Cash thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I can always tell exactly how much he enjoyed his stay with a sitter, by how long he sulks for when we get home. He wouldn't even look at me all night, he was so mad I brought him back from his fun vacation.”

“Mary was so accommodating and kind. She clearly understands dogs, and helped my dog Bryn to fit in with her pack. Her home and yard are perfect and safe for happy & healthy dogs. It was my first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for me. (I was very nervous). Thank you Mary and family! -Peggy and Bryn”


“Julie was excellent, Jaxon and Lulu loved her and loved staying with her 🐾🐾🐾🐾. Thank you Julie, I am so happy to have found you and so are the pups! I feel great that we have you to take of our beloved pups!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a teenager and I am obsessed with mine now. My dogs are so friendly and they love to play with new friends so I would love to host your dog in my home which is a fenced in yard. Plenty of space to run and a very clean environment. I am a work from home mom with two boys who are 10 and 12 who also love dogs. because of my schedule, I am able to be home to take care of the pups. I would treat them like my own! They are welcome to Rome in a comfortable large space and run around in the backyard with lots of walks every couple of hours.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and love every minute of it! I also have experience fostering dogs for many years, which has taught me how to help them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I enjoy giving dogs the attention and care they need while their family is away. As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience with dogs and love making sure each one feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With a secure fenced yard, years of fostering experience, and two friendly resident pups, your furry friend will feel right at home, loved, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️

Pet 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.

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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Ocean Grove on Rover is $61.29 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 10,084 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ocean Grove. About 88% of Ocean Grove 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.

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.
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.
