“Very trustworthy, there was great communication the whole time. Our four month old puppy was very comfortable and well taken care of. She was just as happy when we picked her up as when we dropped her off! Great sitter, highly recommend!”
“We were referred to Lorrie through a friend and worked with her for a test run for our 8 month golden puppy. Recently, we’ve been dealing with a bit of separation anxiety with our Frankie but Lorrie made him feel right at home and he settled in nicely. This was such a relief for my wife and I as we have some trips planned soon. It’s so comforting knowing Frankie has a place to go that will treat him like family! Couldn’t recommend Lorrie enough!”
“Bob and his wife took very good care of our fur babies. When we picked them up post our trip both seemed content and happy. Desi was lounging on the sofa and Hunter seemed to be happy roaming around his vacation environment. We will definitely use Bob for future Dog Vacations.”
“Vincent was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Had a meet and greet and a boarding. Puppy had a great time overnight, went on walks and was taken care of well. Provided pictures during the stay. Thanks.”
“The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.”
“Dawn took care of my puppy for a week while I was out of state. She gave me twice daily updates with tons of pictures to show all of the fun and growth. He also received a lot of very well needed supervised socialization with other dogs that Dawn cares for, as well as her own dog. Snickers came home a much more obedient and well rounded dog. I truly appreciate all of the special care and love given to Snickers. I highly recommend Dawn!”
“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!”
“William was a great sitter! Our doggie is quite nervous and he made her feel at home and even had a dog bed next to his since she was too scared to stay on his. We appreciated his frequent updates as well, with photos!”
“I’m speechless! Shelleen is a godsend! I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trying a new sitter but she has exceeded all my expectations and my anxious dog was very comfortable and happy staying with her. I received lots of updates and advice and can’t wait to use her services again! Very professional, patient and accommodating to our needs.”
About: I let sit for my sister and my god parents all the time! I spent time with their cats and dogs have taken care of them all! They love when they favorite human me watch them and we have a lot of fun together! I work 6am-2:30pm and home on the weekends and every evenings ! I would plan my schedule accordingly to make sure that they are well cared for and that they are not by themselves for any length of time! I would provide a great experience for all of who is involved! I look after them as they were my own and with care and love! They will be fed walked played with care and respect! I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!
“Nervana and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. We used her for a full week while we went away on vacation. She was super communicative, giving us updates with pictures and videos daily. Our dogs were very happy and it was obvious she provided a caring and loving environment for them. Would 100% recommend Nervana.... :)”
“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!”
“Jonathan and Rebecca were fantastic sitters! They are extremely communicative and accommodating. Our dog, Mirchi, loved hanging out with their dogs and that gave me peace of mind that she always having fun. We’ll go to Jonathan and Rebecca next time we need a sitter :)”
“Richard and Barbara were very warm and welcoming to me and to my dog Maia. They gave her so much attention and affection. I felt like she Maia was in very good hands with them! We will definitely be using Richard and Barbara 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.
“Kathy was a great sitter. It can certainly be nerve-racking leaving your pup with a stranger, but Kathy was very caring and made sure Neko (my dog) had a great time. She sent daily detailed updates which gave great peace of mind and assurance that everything was going great!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Union Beach is $60

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!
This was our first experience with Lorrie, and overall, it was an excellent one! We left Butterscotch with Lorrie for 9 days, and while we were a little nervous at first—especially since we had never left Butterscotch with someone for that long and had no prior experience with Lorrie—we were so happy and relieved that we made the right decision! Lorrie kept us updated every day with pictures and videos and made sure to maintain Butterscotch’s usual schedule and routine. When we picked him up, he seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re truly happy that we chose Lorrie and would definitely feel comfortable leaving Butterscotch with her again. Thank you, Lorrie, for taking such great care of our boy! ❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Union Beach on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 13,093 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Union Beach. 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.
95% of Union Beach 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 Union Beach 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 Union Beach 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 Union Beach.
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 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.
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.
