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.
“Karen did a great job of taking care of our dog Riley. I was nervous about leaving him but he did really well with her. Karen sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of Beauty. The walks, the fresh water made me feel secure. Great understanding of dogs. Really appreciate that. She was happy for the rest of the day.”
“Ken is super amazing and took great care of my dog. Was super flexible about pick up time and drop off. He was super accommodating and routinely sent update photos and text messages about my dog during the time he stayed with Ken. Will definitely contact Ken again to board my dog.”
“Katie was so great with my dog, Woods! For the 2 nights he was at her home he seemed happy and comfortable. Communication was great and would definitely book again!”
“Kayla is an excellent pet sitter. Gretel is always so happy going to Kayla’s house, it eases our minds so we can enjoy our vacation without worrying about Gretel’s well being. Pictures and daily communication are always sent. We highly recommend Kayla!”
“I can't recommend Victoria highly enough! From the very beginning, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. It was clear that my dog was treated like family, and I received regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog's routine was maintained and that all of their needs were met. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your pet, I would absolutely recommend Victoria. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“As always, Lorrie is the best! My dog Stevie is completely at ease with her and never once did I worried about how he was doing. She sent updates with photos and videos, which were fun to see. She’s also very responsive. Stevie can’t wait to be back!”
“Meghan and Rob were absolutely wonderful. I had never left my Maverick with anyone outside the family and from the meet and greet through the entire stay I felt comfortable and like my dog would be well taken care of even with his history of being reactive. I received pictures and videos and they even took TV request. I would highly recommend Meghan.”
“Wonderful experience from the meet until pick up. Meg able to accommodate us for a last minute boarding. She sent photos & video daily which was amazing. She also gave us detailed daily updates on how our pupper ate and played. 10 out of 10 experience!”
“Christen was awesome with our dog Marty. Very thoughtful and communicative. I know Marty had a great week while staying there. I would gladly ask Christen to help with Marty in the future.”
“I have review Rachel a few times now and every time, she is amazing. She watched our almost 1 year old golden doodle for 6 days and nights. Babka is so happy when she is there. And so happy when she comes home. No issues whatsoever and Rachel sent pictures and videos too. Also her dog loves Babka and that makes us so happy for them both to have a friend to play with for the week. We will continue to use Rachel whenever we can.”
“I boarded my dog, Lucy, with Joshua for 4 days and have to say he is fantastic! He treated my dog like his own. I could tell she was well taken care of and I greatly appreciated the frequent communication and updates. I would trust Joshua with my dog again.”
“We had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Rachel was unbelievable while watching our dog Sammie. It was his first time really away from home and she immediately put all my worries to rest. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day during the entire stay, took Sammie to multiple parks, & even took him swimming for the first time. I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter, especially with our high energy pup. He came back a very exhausted but super happy doggo. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog. Definitely will be using Rachel again!! Super nice as well!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Long Branch
I was so fortunate to come across Julie‘s profile and she seemed like the type of person that really loves animals. This was my first time leaving my dog at someone’s house, but she made me feel so comfortable. Sending me pictures and sending me messages every day to let me know that he was doing great. She has such a beautiful home and a nice lovely backyard that he could play in so he was absolutely in heaven at her house. Julie was the best and I would recommend anybody if you’re ever apprehensive about leaving your dog with someone. No fear Julie and her home is absolutely perfect!!

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.
