You can bring your dog and/or bicycle. The boats are modern and safe and the trip takes about 45 minutes. There are also ships form NJ to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Schedules, pricing, and tickets are available at Seastreak

Some trains terminate in Long Branch (during the day it’s usually every other one). You can get an Uber or taxi at the Long Branch station to complete the journey if needed.
