“I have no worries when my pup is in the hands of Kelley, she takes good care! Once again, Kelley is very friendly and patient with my high energy husky. I appreciate her fast responses and pictures.”

“A great Wildwood /Cape May vacation was had by All Dolly appeared happy and relaxed after her stay with Janet. I think she enjoyed the attention and company (both human and canine). No signs of anxiety or stress. Great job, Janet and friends!”

“Michael has been an awesome choice for boarding my Peps. You can tell he's a dog dude from his demeanor right from the start. He has been flexible and always sends pictures. I'll continue to book with him as I know my puppers is in good care. Thank you Mr Michael!”

“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Mariah was AMAZING! Our sweet lab mutt has been experiencing some new anxiety post pandemic isolation. Lately she growls at other dogs who go near her food dish, and we were very nervous about leaving our previously always friendly and fun loving dog in another home. How wrong we were! I actually think staying with Mariah was therapeutic for our dog. She joined the pack seamlessly with Mariah's guidance and we felt confident that Mariah could set good boundaries for her. She cuddled and played with everyone, and loved sitting looking out on the beach in Mariah's fenced in yard. She had an absolute blast and I felt confident my dog was with someone who had a ton of experience and understood animal psychology. Mariah was a total sweetie and kept us posted on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts twice a day. I will definitely be booking with her again when I am in the area!”


“Chloe had a great weekend with Denise! She loved watching squirrels in her beautiful back yard! Denise sent regular updates and photos! It was Chloe’s first stay with Denise and we were more than happy!”

“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pup, Swift! After having our normal boarding facility cancel on us due to overbooking before a vacation, I quickly visited rover to see if I could find a suitable match for Swift. Kate responded in about 10 minutes and accepted the booking, a true life saver! Swift loved his time at Kate’s beautiful home. He has been pooped since you pickup and I know he truly got the attention and exercise that he needs. Kate sent tons of pictures which really eased my mind while I was on vacation. Thank you again Kate! We will be back.”

“Our 2 pups had the absolute best time with Dee! It was our puppies first time away with a sitter and Dee treated her like her own! She also took great care of our senior dog. She sent us a ton of pictures and videos and put us at ease and made the experience super smooth and easy!”
“Kirk and Joy hosted my pups, Beckett and Trix for the past few days. I don’t think they wanted to come home after being so spoiled. As a pet parent, I was thrilled with timely communication, daily pictures and a safe environment for my pups. Peace of mind is priceless and Kirk/Joy do everything possible to make it happen!”

“Our Huxley was well cared for and Kateri was extremely flexible with our drop off time which kept changing. She sent us some pictures throughout the stay and came home exhausted which means she had fun! Thank you for hosting our queen?”

“We are so grateful for Sterlin! She accepted extremely last minute on a holiday when we needed someone to watch our dog, Reggie, during our family beach day trip to Ocean City, NJ. She welcomed us inside right away, introduced Reggie to her other dogs, and helped him acclimate quickly to the new environment. Throughout the day, she sent us thoughtful photo updates of Reggie smiling and playing, which was so reassuring. Her home is also conveniently located just off the exit, making drop-off and pick-up easy. What else can we say—we’ll absolutely be using Sterlin again whenever we’re in town. Thank you, Sterlin!”


“Mary Sue is great! We baby our Trixie ridiculously and Mary Sue was fine with our eccentricities. Our Trixie was well cared for and had a great stay. We are delighted to have found such a terrific care giver for our little girl.”


About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
“Stephanie was great with Gilly. She was very hands on and affectionate... something Gilly demands!!! She sent lots of pictures throughout the stay and kept me updated. It was very comforting knowing that Gilly was in such great hands.”

“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!!!!”


“Kathleen was great with Atreus for our first booking. She sent lots of pictures and was coummicative during his stay. I look forward to booking with her in the future and would highly recommend her.”

“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.”

“Lisa took wonderful care of my Honey. She kept me updated with texts & pictures. She took Honey on lots of walks, and even did an art project with Honey which she gave to me. I was very nervous having never left my Honey with anyone except my daughter. Lisa exceeded my expectations and I will be using her again and again! I am thrilled to have found Lisa! And I highly recommend Lisa!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 141 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stone Harbor. 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.
88% of sitters in Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Stone Harbor.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stone Harbor 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
