“I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.”

“Brooklyn was wonderful to my two dogs. I was in town for business and traveling with my dogs. She took great care of them, played with them all day and made them feel comfortable stopping for the weekend in Delaware. I was traveling from GA to CT and this allowed me to relax would use her again when I return to town.”

“Tanner just LOVES his quality time at Jen’s. This was an extended stay due to our vacation and it’s so nice knowing he’s being well cared for. The daily updates and cute photos puts our minds at ease. Jen is the best!”

“Brenda is a wonderful dog sitter. She loves animals and it is evident in everything she does from walking the dogs to watching them in their play yard through she and her children making doggie treats for her pets as well as yours. I am almost anxious to go out of town again just so Beauty can go back to visit. Brenda and her family were great.”

“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!”

“Bob and Susan are the best. They truly care about their four legged guests! Knowing that our dog was loved and cared for just as we would do, put us,at ease while we were away for the week. They both got to know our dog and his routine. We looked forward each day to the daily pictures and texts. Thank you for the great care you gave Baxter while we were away. I think he misses you and his buddy Bert!”

“We are extremely grateful to Marvina for taking such tender care of our two pups. Knowing our pups were safe and loved in her home allowed us to enjoy our time with family in a busy city, which would not be fun for Fred and Daisey. 🐾🐾”

“We’re new to the area and needed a dog sitter for our pup, Piper—and I’m so glad we found Michelle! She was super friendly right from the first message and offered to do a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. Piper took to her right away! During her stay, Piper had an absolute blast. Michelle went above and beyond—she even took Piper on her boat (with my ok, of course!), made her homemade treats (always double-checking ingredients with me first), and ended the stay with a fun little crabbing adventure and a relaxing bath. For a New York dog, this trip was full of firsts! It’s such a relief to find someone I can fully trust with my girl. I’ve already booked Michelle for our next vacation. 5 stars all the way! Highly recommend!”

“Sierra was a great sitter! We have two high maintenance French Bulldogs and they were at home with Sierra. Was close to the beaches as well so was very convenient for picking up and dropping off. Thanks Sierra!”

“Tyler and McKenna were awesome! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and they were very accommodating and took great care of him. Our other pup has a lot of energy and they gave her all the running/swimming she needed. And they sent picture updates which was very much appreciated. Will be going back to them in the future and highly recommend to anyone passing through”

“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”


“Ashlee was amazing with our poodle. I had a wedding in Avalon and she watched our dog and took such good care of her. Our poodle loved her stay and her 2 Yorkies. She sent pics and updates on Reina during her stay. She's wonderful!!!!!!!!”
“Kateri is my go-to! She goes above and beyond every single stay. Kateri’s dog, Mazey plays so well with my 9.5 month pup. I love that Kateri gives me updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. She also sent home a report card with a full summary of the visit (it’s still hanging on my fridge! 🥹) Kateri really does think of everything when it comes to your dogs- and has always given me peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of. She’s knowledgeable, super easy to work with, and as kind as can be!”

“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 wonderful! Very accommodating for our two large dogs! She treated them as they were part of the family. Always kept us up to date with updates and photos while we were gone. I am not sure my pups wanted to come home, it was a little vacation for them too! Will definitely use again!”

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rio Grande on Rover is $79.92 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
