“This was Jack's first stay at Dawn's place. It was wonderful! During his stay, he made a new friend and enjoyed himself. Dawn kept us updated every day with pictures and other updates on Jack's activities. We would definitely use Dawn again in the future.”
About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.
“Nervana is very kind and caring. She took great care of Bella, giving her medication each day Her whole family made Bella's stay a very happy experience.”
“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”
“Cherish did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She send many texts, pictures and videos so we always knew how he was doing. The dogs had a nice place to play in the backyard and nice place to relax inside. Out of the many dog boarding experiences we had on Rover, Cherish's was by far the best. We will definitely book with Cherish again when we travel or go somewhere and need our dog to be taken care of.”
“Susana was very sweet with our dog. She cared for him as if he were her very own. She pampered him and showed so much love that I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home (lol). She provided daily pics and updates which meant a lot to us. I would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”
“This is the first time we left Ralph for a weekend and we couldn’t have been happier that it was with Samantha. The only bad part was that Ralph is sad he had to leave his playmate Jada!”
“Leaving our beagle Maxine with Stephanie was a great decision for us.. We picked her up a little later than end of day, and Stephanie was flexible enough to accommodate us . Will definitely keep using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs”
“Easy 6 out of 5. Jaimie is an excellent sitter, she made sure my pup was happy, active, and comfortable... what more can you ask for with your best fuzzy buddy. I would easily recommend Jaimie to anyone looking for the "right choice" of sitter. She is someone who clearly knows what she's doing, and is very accommodating with people's schedules. She's awesome.”
“Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!”
“This was our second time using Jacqueline and we have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of our dog! Great communication and our pup comes home very relaxed and happy.”
“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”
“Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. She kept us informed throughout our getaway and sent photos and videos, including updates from the park when she took our dog for a walk. We really loved the way she cared for him and kept us updated on his well-being. We highly recommend her!”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient and quick to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I can help reinforce basic training, follow detailed care instructions, and give extra gentle care when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give I treat every pet like my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. For now, I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays. I may have flexibility on other days once I get to know your pet better or can adjust my schedule accordingly. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and play. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels comfortable and respected.
“She was great with Max. Max loved her, she is very kind and cooperative. She updated me with lovely pictures of him and took great care of him. I would definitely have her take care of him again.”
About: I’ve been around animals most of my life—growing up, our garage was home to a group of strays I helped care for whether if it were to create shelter for them during the pouring rain or leaving some kibble out for them to eat. I’ve also fostered cats short-term. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving them company, I’m here to help! I also provide a complimentary photo sticker of your pet during my visit ;) I use to work in medicine, but now I work full-time during the week in finance, so weekends are when I get to slow down—and I’d love to spend that time with animals. Pet care is a meaningful break from the hustle of my day job, and I genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a weekend walk or drop-in, I’m available and happy to help however I can. I’m also typically always available during the holidays. Please schedule a meet & greet with me if you feel comfortable. Over call works too! Please also feel free to include any specific request.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union Beach
Christina was great with Zeke! This was his first time staying with her, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and it was clear from the updates that he was comfortable, happy, and really enjoying himself. Zeke is a Labradoodle who absolutely loves attention, and it seems like he and Christina became great friends while I was away. I’m sure he’s already looking forward to spending more time with her! I’ll definitely be using Christina again in the future and would highly recommend her.
we’ve been bringing our puppy Reina to Lorrie for a few years now, even after moving further away because she is the absolute best. Our dog who is normally nervous around others is SO at home with Lorrie which makes us feel so good knowing our pup is loved while we are away!
Kathy did a wonderful job taking care of Ruby! Ruby had a great time with her! I appreciated her updates letting me know that Ruby was happy and that they were both having a good time. Kathy is always quick to respond. I recommend her 100% and will be using her again!
Grateful for Kayla and her family taking great care of Miles and for last minute booking. Received frequent updates. Very flexible with drop off and pick up. Looks like Miles had a great company and lots of playtime. Would like to book again next time Miles needs a home away from home. Thank you very much!
Karina took great care of Jax while we were away! She has a clean, welcoming home with fenced front and back yards, and she kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages throughout his stay. She’s also a genuinely kind and wonderful person, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Jax in her care. He looked so happy and well cared for with her. I would definitely book with Karina again and highly recommend her!
Bridget and Mario are the sweetest couple ever!! They are perfectly communicative and you won’t doubt how your puppies are for a second! They send the cutest pics as well. They truly know how to take care and love on all puppies!! Something came up where our pups had to stay an extra night and she was extremely caring and compatible with that as well! Will 100% be back!

94% of sitters in Union Beach 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 Union Beach home-away-from-home, 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 Union Beach.
<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 Union Beach 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.

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 .
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.

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.
