“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. Fatima was patient, caring and reliable. We received updates regularly, giving us peace of mind while we were away that our dog was well cared for. Would definitely use her again!”
“Shri provided so many detailed updates and he took such good care of my dog Grant. It was HOT and humid in Jersey City and Grant likes long walks. Shri walked Grant enough to tire him out even in the heat and humidity. Grant tends to be suspicious and I could tell he was forming a bond with Shri when I picked him up. Thanks, Shri, for taking such good care of Grant!”
“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!”
“Skye was incredible with my 2 and a half year old Staffy! She is full of A LOT of energy and Skye kept her happy and engaged the entire time I was away. I received so many pics/videos of updates and felt like I wasn’t missing a thing even while being in another state. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve had many dogs growing up. 3 Shih Tzus, 1 German Shepherd, and an Australian Shepherd. I used to walk and take care of a Golden Poodle for a year nearby Long Branch. I love dogs and I’m always from my own so I’d love to take care and be around them. I’ve taken care of puppies and also my own dog who was 16 years old before she passed recently. I play soccer at Monmouth, our practices are from 10-12. Other than that, I’m mostly free. Being a senior I don’t have much class and I’m a very active person so I’d love to walk/run with dogs. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medications, or routines. I’m very responsible and will give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates while I’m with them.
“JoEllen and her family are exceptional!! My Koda is just getting adjusted to her new life just coming from a rescue so she is not familiar with being about to roam free around a home. She was very excited. JoEllen took the time and extra care to make sure she was comfortable and enjoyed her weekend. This was not boarding. This was a doggie vaca. She went above and beyond. Which made me feel very comfort leaving her in her care. They are no doubt a family of dog lovers. Patient and caring. I would HIGHLY recommend.”
“Rachel was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates during the entire duration of the stay. She is very caring and treated Porsche like part of her family. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my princess was in good hands????”
“Carol was amazing and made my Jasmine feel right at home. She took Jasmine on great walks and took the time to understand Jasmines routine to replicate it. I appreciate Carols attention detail and care. Will definitely work with her again. You can tell she cares about dogs!”
“I recently boarded my 1 year old Frenchie and my 13 year old lab with Mary and Aaron. I could not have been more pleased with my choice. Mary and Aaron (along with their two children-Angus and Allison) cared for my dogs as if they were their own. (Allison had a home-made welcome sign posted on the fence for our arrival). The fact that they have ramps was an added benefit for my older dog. I was constantly updated with status reports and photos which demonstrated that my dogs were having the time of their lives (while on vacation). My dogs were exhausted for days after I picked them up. This family will be my "go to" for boarding and pet sitting. You will not be disappointed. -Jackie D (Locust, NJ)”
“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.”
“Mariana was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving her my little loved one. She provided me photos, videos, and updates and made Jettson feel like family. He was very attached to her after we departed and that spoke volumes to me. She stuck to his feeding schedule, had him play outside, took him for walks, and kept him entertained. We are so lucky to have had such a wonderful person and family watch over our loved one. She went above and beyond for us and was very understanding and accommodating.”
“Lorrie is wonderful...friendly, kind and loving! She understands dogs and their relationships with other dogs and with people. She is careful to make sure that all the dogs she is caring will get along before letting them be together. Our Sammy had a great time at Lorrie's. (In fact, he's still "recuperating" from all the fun and activity he had that he's not used to as an only dog?) Lorrie sent us reassurances in words and photos/videos, as this was Sammy's first time there. Sammy will be going back to Lorrie's for a longer stay very soon--and we will be able to go on a dog worry-free vacation, knowing that Sammy is being very well cared for.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Another awesome sit with Mark and his family! Pearl loves them all so much. Mark is super nice and reliable, his kids give Pearl lots of attention, and their enclosed back yard is a plus. Thanks again, Mark!”
“Thank you Kimberley for taking care of Vito. Your kindness and knowledge of my senior dog was incredible. I want to also thank you for your patience with me as I was a first time user of Rover and was a little awkward in using the app. I enjoyed my time at my event because I knew Vito was in safe hands. Thank you.”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Oceanport is $60

Ken is amazing with our Frenchie! Frankie ran to the car as fast as he could when we packed him up to go to Ken’s house. He came home looking healthy and very well taken care of. We highly recommend him but hope he doesn’t book up too much because we will definitely be back
I was so fortunate to come across Julie‘s profile and she seemed like the type of person that really loves animals. This was my first time leaving my dog at someone’s house, but she made me feel so comfortable. Sending me pictures and sending me messages every day to let me know that he was doing great. She has such a beautiful home and a nice lovely backyard that he could play in so he was absolutely in heaven at her house. Julie was the best and I would recommend anybody if you’re ever apprehensive about leaving your dog with someone. No fear Julie and her home is absolutely perfect!!
Carol was the best sitter I could ask for! She is so kind and took care of my puppy so well! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she gave me peace of mind with check ins. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Carol again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oceanport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oceanport is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 12,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oceanport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Oceanport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oceanport 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 Oceanport.
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 Oceanport 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.
