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.
“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!”
“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!”
“We always leave our fur babies with Megan and her family when we go away. They love it there! Megan and her family are so sweet and I love all the pictures and updates. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind when we are traveling. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog, Millie had a great extended stay with Deena! When meeting Deena, it’s immediately noticeable that she loves dogs and just has a natural, nurturing relationship with them. She was very attentive during Millie’s visit and sent daily pictures, videos and updates. I’m sure Millie loved the added bonus of the attention of Deena’s sons, as well. I definitely recommend her and would have Millie stay with her again!”
“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!”
“Our sweet rescue beagle suffers from a tough past which undoubtedly led to his separation anxiety. My husband and I wanted to take a 12 hour trip to Bear Mountain via Seastreak. We were concerned leaving him with someone new for such a long duration. However, upon meeting Krystal my fears were allayed. She is everything one can ask for to entrust your beloved pet: patient, energetic, compassionate and considerate. Our boy came back content, relaxed snd tired. He also got along beautifully with her dog Kilo. And, our beagle even came home with a goodie bag of organic homemade treats—-star treatment. Thanks Krystal for a wonderful day for our pet and his owners.”
“Kayla was amazing with our little dog—she sent regular updates and pictures, she welcomed him into their family, and gave him the same kind of attention that we do at home! We will definitely use her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“JoEllen watched Callie while I was away on vacation. This was the first trip I took since I got her and left Callie for an extended period of time. JoEllen texted me daily and updated me with pictures of all their adventures. Callie was loved like she was JoEllen’s own. Her entire family loved and cared for her so amazingly. I didn’t worry about my baby and would recommend JoEllen 10/10 every time. Booking her again!! I can’t wait for Callie to spend more time with JoEllen and her family!”
“Jamie creates a very calm and comfortable space for our shy and sometimes timid small dog (who gets excellent care, naps, walks, and attention). We're really happy we found her and even more pleased that our dog loves her time with her.”
“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)”
“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!”
“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.”
“Karen was great - I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time. Karen is very caring and gave her extra attention the first few days to help her feel at ease. She also sent me lots of pictures and notes throughout the stay to help me feel at ease. The company of Karen's dogs is a plus. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Oceanport is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oceanport
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.
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.

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, 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 , 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 .
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.
