Pet Boarding in Ocean Grove

About: Dog lover and proud Cockapoo mom! I have a 4-year-old Cockapoo and grew up with dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m home all day and can provide 2–3 walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of cuddles. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for in a safe, loving environment. I’m home all day and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will not be left alone. I provide 2–3 walks daily, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day We live in a clean, pet-friendly townhouse with a small backyard. While the yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs receive regular walks throughout the day.

“Hope is fabulous! So easy going, communicative, and my dog instantly starts doing the wiggles when she sees her :)”

“Had a great experience with MJ! She asked lots of questions to get to know my dog for a first time stay and sent lots of updates. I think my dog had a great time with her and would like to stay again!”

Gabriella H.

“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.”

“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.”

“Megan and Brian were outstanding! They treated our dogs like their own and made us feel so incredibly comfortable leaving them in their care! They stayed in touch, provided constant updates and it is obvious our pups thoroughly enjoyed their dogs and their comfortable home! We highly recommend!”

Scott H.

“Ken is super amazing and took great care of my dog. Was super flexible about pick up time and drop off. He was super accommodating and routinely sent update photos and text messages about my dog during the time he stayed with Ken. Will definitely contact Ken again to board my dog.”

“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with someone we didn’t know. Super nervous. Rachel was amazing . She kept us up to date daily. She even gave our dog a bath. We felt at ease and got to enjoy our vacation to the fullest. Rachel has an amazing heart for animals. Your dog will be in great care with her. Will definitely book again in the future.”

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 :)!!”

“Nancy and her husband were amazing!!!! I am so grateful for them. They watched our pup while we were at our wedding weekend. They even brought him over to our wedding venue in his tux so he was able to walk down the aisle during our ceremony which was so special for us!!! We were able to get some pictures with him after that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Nancy. You guys are amazing!!!”

Stefenie P.

“Lovely experience with Annie! She took care of my high energy dog overnight and things were as smooth and simple as can be. I got plenty of pictures, so I knew my pup was in good hands and having a blast. Communicative, friendly, and caring: what more could you ask for from a dog sitter? Thanks Annie, we'll be back!”

Laurel D.

“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!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday (usually early AM & evenings). *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available MID-DAY for check-ins or walks)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

“Carol and Dimitri were wonderful with our little Honey. They took great care of her, and gave her lots of love. We will definitely look forward to having her stay with them again.”

Helen H.

“Roxanne did an excellent job taking care of my dog. I was worried about her being anxious since I’ve never left her with a stranger for a whole week before, but Roxanne made her feel right at home. My dog is almost 10 years old and needs medication and an ointment and Roxanne was able to administer them with no issue. She also maintained consistent communication with me and sent me lots of pics. I knew my dog was in good hands and I will definitely be using Roxanne in the future!”

Emily G.

“I would highly recommend Corrine. She took excellent care of my two senior cockapoo’s and golden retriever. Corrine sent lots of photos and updates. I would absolutely use her again. My dogs seemed to enjoy playing with the other dogs in Corrine’s care and we enjoyed seeing the pictures of them playing.”

Leanne T.

“Kaiden was great with our Benzo! We had a bit of a situation and Kaiden took our pup on short notice and was wonderful! We received photos and videos of our little guy and he looked happy and comfortable. We would rebook with Kaiden again in the future :)”

“Tricia did a great job looking after Larry! Kept me updated with pictures throughout the weekend.”

“My dog Coco had such a great time at Tokar’s! She was very communicative and provided lots of updates. I was away for a few days and knew coco was in good hands! Would definitely recommend and i’m sure we will be returning!”
