About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.

Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!

Mike took our dog on short notice on a holiday weekend. He sent picture updates whenever I texted him, as well as text messages on how she was doing. My dog seemed to have loved her stay with Mike. He is a very nice and pleasant person to talk to. I would recommend Mike and his dog services 10/10. Thanks again Mike.

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.

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.

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet caregiver with 21 years of hands on experience working with both dogs and cats! I started at just 16 in a professional dog grooming setting, where I learned how to safely handle pets, understand their behavior, and help them feel calm and comfortable. Over the years, I've working in multiple traditional kennel environments, caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. From playful, high energy pups to independent or shy cats and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I'm experienced, patient and attentive to each pet's unique needs. I treat every dog and cat like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, loved and stress free while you're away. I'm big on maintaining routines, giving plenty of affection, and paying close attention to behavior and comfort. You can count on me for reliable care and genuine compassion for your pets. I understand how much they mean to you, and I'll make sure they're in great hands every step of the way. I am home for the majority of the day, so your dog will rarely be left alone for extended periods. If I need to step out, it is typically no more than 2-3 hours. I'm able to structure my day around the needs of the pets, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care. I provide attentive, structured care both in my home and in my clients homes. I create a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can be dogs. I maintain a consistent routine with scheduled feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime inside and out. I keep my space clean and pet friendly while being mindful of individual needs. During drop in visits I focus on maintaining the pets normal routine in an environment they are familiar with. This includes feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, playtime, and cleaning up as needed. I also monitor their behavior and overall well being and provide updates for peace of mind. I'm respectful of each home and follow any specific instructions closely to make sure your pets stay comfortable and cared for while you are away. Overall I prioritize consistency, safety, and attention to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My skills include loving treatment, responsibility and efficiency. I love pets and take care of them just like the children I take care for, with love. I’m babysitting 3 hours a day from Monday to Friday for a 5 year old girl and then I’m free to take care of pets. I’m willing to sleep at my client's house to take care of her/his pet. All my life I have loved and had contact with animals but in the last 4 years this has intensified. I treat animals the same way and with the same love as I treat a person. My pets are like my children.

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!

This was our pup, Isla’s, first time boarding and Jared took excellent care of her. When we met Jared at our meet and greet, we could immediately tell that he loves dogs and would be a responsible and caring sitter. The daily photos he sent showed she felt right at home and was having such a good time that we were afraid she would not want to come home back home. We will definitely book with Jared again and know that Isla will happily run in in the door and make herself at home! Thanks Jared and family for making Isla’s first boarding experience such a positive one!

Tyler was an amazing post. His availability was remarkable. We contacted him on the same day, actually within an hour of needing dog sitting, and he accepted our inquiry. His dogs are loves and our pups enjoyed the exceptional family atmosphere. I highly recommend Tyler’s care. He treated our dogs just like they were at home.

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

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rio Grande

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 172 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rio Grande. About 90% 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.
