“We left our 2 dogs with Mike while we were away 9 days on a vacation this is the second stay for Marley and Sonny boy. We enjoyed all the pics and video that mike sent us! He took excellent care of our pets and he is always our first choice pet sitter!”
“It was another fabulous stay for Stella and Sasha at Michael's. This time, my girls were with Michael for 3 weeks! It was very hard being away from them for so long, but I knew that they were in great hands so I felt very much at ease while on vacation. Stella and Sasha received Hawaiian leis during their stay. This made them feel like they were with the rest of their family in Hawaii! Michael's wife is so patient, loving and caring. She spends so much quality time with the dogs. With her, they had Disney movie marathons, spa days and lots of freedom to sleep either on the couch or in the bed- just like at home. Stella and Sasha have taken a real liking to Michael and Durell. This makes me feel relived and much more relaxed while I am away. I've already told Michael the dates of my next vacation, and to be ready for Stella and Sasha. .”
About: Hi! I’m Abbey — a lifelong animal lover who grew up with three dogs of my own. I’ve also helped several families, neighbors, and friends with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m available on weekends and during mornings and evenings throughout the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, feeding, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to keep things consistent and comfortable. I make sure pets get fresh water, food, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own.
“We wanted to find a sitter in our neighborhood for when we are away. Jane was amazing and took in Siuy as though she was hers. I received constant communications and photos and loved how Siuy and Fancy zoomied with each other. My hope is that Jane would be willing to look after Siuy the next time we are away. I don’t think I can trust another sitter!”
“Nirvana was terrific watching our dog, Zoey. She did an excellent job keeping us updated on how she was doing, which we really appreciated. She is very sweet and wonderful to deal with me. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Paul and Kathryn took great care of our golden ! She stayed the night there and was given so much love and attention. She loved running around their yard! They kept us up to date and sent pictures and videos ! Would use them again !”
“Daisy did such an amazing job watching our dog, Fran, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent SOO many cute pictures and videos! Fran looked so relaxed and comfortable, like she had a vacation of her own at Daisy's. 100% would recommend and book again!!”
“This was my first time using a boarding service for my puppy, and I would use Erica over and over again. I was assured of the wellbeing of my dog with videos and pictures throughout the day. 10/10 recommended!”
“Our dog Boba's second stay with Melissa! She had a great time playing with Bando and the other dogs. Melissa was very accommodating and kind to drop off Boba after her visit. Thank you for everything.”
“Daisy had another great stay with Rachel. She played with Teddy in the backyard with all the snow - it was very cute. Always sends photo updates. Highly recommended”
“Julie was absolutely phenomenal! Upon my first meeting with her, she just made me feel so comfortable and confident with my choice in her. We have 2 Boston Terriers and, as terriers typically can be, they can be quite energetic. This didn’t deter Julie at all!! She welcomed them with open arms! Julie watched our boys for basically a week. She sent pictures (that were amazing, by the way) multiple times a day and checked in to give us updates so we knew they were both happy and well-loved all week. We will definitely be using Julie again! She’s so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Meghan and Rob were absolutely wonderful. I had never left my Maverick with anyone outside the family and from the meet and greet through the entire stay I felt comfortable and like my dog would be well taken care of even with his history of being reactive. I received pictures and videos and they even took TV request. I would highly recommend Meghan.”
“Elizabeth and her family provided amazing care for my dog! Daily photos and videos and excellent communication through and through. Highly recommended!”
“Shanna was wonderful as usual! Lulu looked so happy in her beautiful pictures, and Shanna gave me updates throughout my trip. Lulu was in great hands with her lovely and caring friend. Thanks for everything Shanna!”
“This was our first time leaving our husky Blaze with William, when we had to travel. It all went very well. He was taking good care of our boy. He took him for nice walks, sent us pictures every day and communicated thoroughly. And when our flight got cancelled at the last moment, and we couldn't get back home the day we planned, William was flexible to allow us to extend Blaze's stay by one more day. Definitely would recommend him 👍”
“Willian was amazing with my dog, Frisco! He gave him so much care and attention, and I could tell Frisco was happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frisco came home relaxed and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Willian again — highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rumson on Rover is $85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 13,320 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rumson. About 88% of Rumson 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.
