“My husband and I had a great experience with Brenda watching our dog. Brenda was friendly, accommodating, and always quick to respond. She setup a meeting beforehand to make sure that my dog got along with her 1.5 year old golden retriever and that we were comfortable with where our dog would be staying. We were able to relax and enjoy our night out knowing that Brenda and her children were taking good care of our pup. Her kids even slept in the family room to get to spend more time with him. We loved getting pictures of our dog and knowing that he was being well taken care of. ”

“Our 5 month old pup Benny loved his time with Mike! Mike did a great job of making Benny and I both feel comfortable. You can definitely tell he has a great love for dogs and Benny loved him immediately. This was our first experience leaving Benny so naturally we were a bit nervous, but Mike sent constant updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. Will definitely use Mike again in the near future!”

About: I am a proud pup and kitty parent. I have been taking care of pets professionally sine 2005. I provide daily dog walking, doggie boarding and kitty pet sitting services in the Milton area. Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours. My dog Benny is very friendly and loves doggie company! I am available for daily dog walking Monday thru Friday and petsitting 7 days per week. I am available for boarding as schedule permits as I only take 1 dog, dog family, at a time. I have a home in Milton with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have 1 pup, a Yorkie poo who is used to welcoming fun pup friends. I am never out of my home more than 4 hours when I have pup boarders. Your pup(s) is my priority and treated like a member of my family.
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”

“Susan and Bob are the absolute best! My dog Gemma was very well cared for and the pictures they sent to me showed it by the contented and happy look on her face. It makes a big difference to me to leave her somewhere she’s treated like family. Thank you!”

“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”

“Marvina and her pups are amazing! Our dog, Koda, loves going there and always has a great time/comes home exhausted! Marvina communicates extremely well and sends plenty of pictures/updates regarding Kodas stay. We're so happy we found her!”

“Camp Michelle as we now call Callie’s little vacation spot was just perfect. She is attentive to our dog’s little quirks - we have a needy Labrador Retriever. Our dog is not used to staying away from home. However she had a blast at Michelle’s. This was our first time working with Michelle and we will be back for sure. If you are looking for a real “dog person” then go to Michelle. She is AMAZING!”

“Our pup stayed with Sierra for two nights while we were visiting the Cape May area and she was great! Our dog had lots of fun playing and going for walks with her sweet dog Lily. During her stay we received pictures and videos and Sierra was very attentive to all of our dogs needs. When we picked up our pup you could tell she was happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Sierra!”

“McKenna and Tyler were so awesome with our dog Rhys. Will definitely be using them again. Sent us awesome pictures and kept us up to date with everything. Made drop off and pick up super easy. Look forward to using them again!!!!”

“Kateri was such a great caretaker for our guy, Ted! She updated us with pictures most days and let us know how he was doing. Kateri and her family treated Ted like was their own. We are so glad that we found her! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Tyler was great! We booked his services last minute, and he was flexible and accommodating. Thank you for taking such good care of Benji and for the cute pictures.”

“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”

“Diana was a wonderful care giver to our dog Gizmo. He is 15 years old and very spoiled. She had great patience as Gizmo has accidents in the house. She sent regular up dates and pictures. I would recommend Diana to everyone who has a fur baby, thank you Diana.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rio Grande
Mae Ann and Meg gave us a worry- ree holiday. They provided excellent care, responsive feedback and a daily photo to ensure Sam’s care. Their 3 York use were wonderful company and Sam felt right at home. Their home centers around the pets they board and they really love what they do. Sam even came home bathed with clean bedding! I highly recommend this boarding home, very near Wildwood if you are looking for a reliable home while you visit this part of the Jersey Shore. Susan Pivko August 25, 2025

There are 174 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rio Grande. About 94% of Rio Grande 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
