“Meghan was perfect for watching our cat for an extended stay! She gave us updates with pictures and videos. We felt she was safe and happy with Meghan. We will absolutely reach out again when we need a babysitter!”

“Angelica is a dream host! I can't wait to book my puppy with them again as soon as possible! I got the cutest photos of all of their adventures and he came back cleaner than I sent him and tired from all the fun!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Ken was so kind and attentive to our senior dog! He’s someone who loves dogs and is happy to make sure they’re comfortable. Great communication and sweet updates too. The best!”
“Megan and Brian were outstanding! They treated our dogs like their own and made us feel so incredibly comfortable leaving them in their care! They stayed in touch, provided constant updates and it is obvious our pups thoroughly enjoyed their dogs and their comfortable home! We highly recommend!”
“We can’t thank Rachel enough for watching Ralphie, on short notice too! He had such a great time and was well cared for! Rachel was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. Ralphie also enjoyed playing with Chloe, who is such a sweet dog :) We definitely plan to contact Rachel again in the future!! Thank you so much!”
“Joshua was awesome with our beagle and we will definitely reach out to Joshua when we bed to board our dog again. Joshua is very responsible to messages and easy to schedule pick up and drop off.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday (usually early AM & evenings). *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available MID-DAY for check-ins or walks)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!
“Skye is awesome, my pup loves him. He was great in taking care of my Dog, I didn't have to worry that my dog was being mistreated . I was worried my Dog wouldn't want to go home with me lol. From the pictures he sent my Dog was having the best time of his life”
About: Dog lover and proud Cockapoo mom! I have a 4-year-old Cockapoo and grew up with dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me.

I’m home all day and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will not be left alone.

“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“Cheryl had our Leo for several days while we attended a family funeral. Everything was wonderful and Cheryl kept us up to date daily on how he was doing. I highly recommend Cheryl and her family if you need help with you pet. She was highly responsive and the entire experience was just perfect??”
“Deena and her family are the best! When I dropped George off, he remembered them from the meet & greet and raced up the stairs! I knew then, he would have a great stay. Deena was very organized and attended to all of George's needs. She took him for walks and sent a lot of pictures which was so reassuring to me that he was having a great time! I will definitely use Deena again the next time I need to go out of town. A++”
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Krystal was a wonderful caregiver to my 12.5yr old frenchie, Honey, who requires oral medication as well as eye drops. Krystal was very responsive during booking and during Honeys stay. Her dog Kilo is chill and he welcomed Honey to his pack for 5 days. I will certainly check with Krystal when Hobsy needs a place to stay.”
“My doggies love their stay at Julie’s! They immediately felt comfortable (and so did I!). Julie is a great communicator and provided updates and photos regularly even for for an overnight visit. Marley and Winnie were happy and tired upon their return home, what more could I want?”

Julie was amazing. She gave lots of updates and provided pictures of our baby Tila while we were away from her. She even brought her to our wedding venue to have pictures taken in between our ceremony and reception. I would absolutely use her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!
Choosing a dog sitter can be stressful, especially with a senior pup, but Lori incredible! Lulu stayed with her for a few nights while I was away, and Lori was great with her. Communication was great throughout the entire stay, providing me with peace of mind. Lulu has a lot of medical issues and requires medication and a prescription diet, which Lori handled flawlessly. She even woke up in the middle of the night to let her out due to her aging bladder. It is rare to find someone so compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to the extra care that senior dogs need. Cannot recommend Lori enough and will definitely be booking again!
Carol was the best sitter I could ask for! She is so kind and took care of my puppy so well! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and she gave me peace of mind with check ins. I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with Carol again.
Marc exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond. Did a meet & greet last minute,took her even though she was sick.Had no problem giving her medication. Took lots of pics and videos to ease my mind. Answered all my concerns. Washed her blanket casue it got stained. Even treated her to home made dog food. Not sure lacey is happy to be back with me! LOL. My flight got delayed 2x and Marc waited up late till i could pick her up. He's just the best.
Joshua was absolutely outstanding! My dog stayed with him for five days and was treated perfectly. He kept me updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of picturse, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Joshua again anytime. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

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 West Long Branch 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 West Long Branch 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 West Long Branch 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 West Long Branch.
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 West Long Branch 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.
