I will definitely be a return customer.”

“Nicole and her family were amazing with my Husky. I was worried since it was the first time leaving him with someone he didn’t already know. Her yard is a doggie oasis, they were so loving and attentive and made me feel at ease leaving him while we were on vacation. I will definitely be using her again, 5 star doggie treatment!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Deb is a fabulous sitter for my two senior dogs! She paid attention to their cues and ways. She let us know how they did each day. She gave us a full report when we returned, too. They were happy to see us when we picked them up. Thank you for taking such good care of our family members, Deb!”
About: I provide reliable care for all life cycles from puppies to seniors. I focus on your pet's schedule and work to create soothing care that is invigorating stimulating. I have a flexible schedule and can meet early morning, afternoon, evening, and late night drop ins for care with a focus on individual pet needs. I care for your pets with drop ins tailored to their needs. Keeping schedules on track helps reduce stress for most animals. I work with you to set up the guidelines of care tailored to your pet's individual needs.
About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.
“Patricia is fantastic. The girls loved her and she sent us pictures while they were with her. The pictures made our day. Thanks so much Patricia for allowing us to have a guilt free vacation.”
“I hesitate to brag on Kristen so much because I want to keep her all to ourselves!!!!! She is AMAZING!!!! Kristen will treat your pet like they were her own. She’s extremely communicative, so kind, and really gave us such incredible peace of mind while we were away. Kristen, we thank you immensely for being so fantastic to Nellie!”
“This was our first stay with Christine with our new rescue, Hank. He's a big boy, a great dane, so he's not for everyone - even though he's just a gigantic couch potato. We tried boarding him in the past, but he would become depressed and stopped eating. We made Christine aware, and she worked with us to ensure the best way to deal with this if he should withdraw. However, none of that was necessary. Hank felt at home and loved right away. Sometimes, animals just know! To be honest, I began to worry he wouldn't want to come home! Christine's communication kept us updated during the course of our vacation, so we never worried at all. Thank you Christine!”
“Alba was the absolute best! She took such good care of Rusty who can be very independent and particular. She provided funny and frequent updates and gave him a great vacation home. And I got some peace of mind!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Toms River is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Toms River
We left Lucian (rescue mix-breed) with Nicole for what was supposed to be 4 nights. Unfortunately we were delayed due to a major traffic accident (not us) and Nicole graciously offered to keep Lucian for an additional night. We are very happy with Nicole as well as her young daughter who treated Lucian as their own. He got along great with the entire household and they treated him with lots of love and affection. Very happy and when we need a dog-sitter again we will look to Nicole.
We love Debbie! She is so caring and loving toward our Labrador. She takes her on walks daily, gives her treats and plenty of snuggles and attention. She gives us updates and communicates often with texts and pictures. We could not have found a better sitter for our dog:)
Our dog Ellie received excellent care from Celeste! She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was clear from the moment we picked her up that she had been in great hands. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and peace of mind Celeste provided. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Avigail( Abby) was absolutely awesome ! She always kept me informed about Roscoe and sent pictures everyday , walking him and hanging out with her and her golden retriever ! They were buddies ! She made us feel so content on our vacation! We knew he was in the best of hands !! Will definitely use her again if we go back to the shores for vacation! Thank you Abby so much ! Roscoe is a very happy camper on our ride home thanks to you :)

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 822 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Toms River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Toms River sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Toms River landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Toms River 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 Toms River.
Tip: 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 Toms River 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.
