“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”

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!
“Kevin was fantastic! We had a need for a last-minute booking, and he accepted. He sent us updates and photos of Buddy throughout the weekend, and clearly Buddy was extremely comfortable with him. We highly recommend Kevin!”
“Literally cannot say enough great things about Cherish! My dog had such an amazing time with her this weekend. I got frequent updates and knew that my baby was in safe hands. Thank you again!”
“Aileen and Bobby were amazing dog sitters! Very responsive and always sending pictures and updates. Tug was such a sweet boy too & a great playmate for my dog. I think my dog slept for 2 days straight after he came home he had such a good time, thanks again Aileen!”
“I was so happy i fpund Bonnie and her husbad , they really took care of my 2 dogs. They treat them as their own. They give them extra care and attention. I highly recommend Bonnie. Nothing to worry if you leave them at their care. Will surely leave my babies again .”
“Yvette was so incredibly patient with our puppy, Korra. Korra unexpectedly got her first heat the day before coming to Yvette’s and we were so worried to leave Korra, but Yvette assured us that she would take care of her just like we would. Korra had an amazing time running around in her beautiful yard, snoozing on her deck, and going for long morning walks. Daily updates and photos eased our minds and we knew Korra was in good hands. If we weren’t moving cross country, Yvette would be the only dog sitter I’d book for my dogs.”
“Jose took care of my dog while I had to go out of town on a trip! He was very communicative with me throughout the duration and was very flexible when I asked if he could take care of my dog for one more day since my travel plans had changed. I would highly recommend him!”
“I’ve never used Rover before and was nervous. I have to boarding places just to see what was out there. Jonathan has been more than amazing . I’m so glad to know I have someone to watch my dog. We had constant updates of her and pictures with his family. They treated kiwi as if she were their own .”

“JoEllen was the absolute best with my dog Daisy! The love and care that she received during her stay was above and beyond what I had ever expected. JoEllen made me feel at ease with leaving Daisy for the first time with someone other than a family member. She treated Daisy as if she was her own dog. I can not thank her enough for all that she had done. I will definitely us her again without a doubt!”
“Anmol and Tripti took such great care of our Luna. This was Luna's first experience being left overnight and she was so happy to meet them and stay with them. She came back happy and relaxed. She clearly was well cared for and shown a great deal of attention. They are truly loving and caring people who are very responsible and professional. I give them my highest recommendation.”
“Yanina, and her family treated her like she was already part of their family. They were especially understanding when we had to drop our dog off later than our initial time. She sent us pics during our vacation and updated us. I was relieved that they had a fenced in yard because dalmations love to run. We picked up our fur baby in great shape. Thanks to Yanina and her family we will definitely rebook in future.”

Karina and Chris are super friendly and took great care of my 10 yro pitty who was dealing with a leg issue. They were attentive, responsive and provided great communication while we were away for the week. Most importantly our dog seems to really have enjoyed his stay.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Union Beach. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
