“Corrine is a breath of fresh air. She takes pet care very seriously and took excellent care of my Maggie. This was a last minute and first time boarding over night for us. Corrine answered quickly and was happy to accommodate. We already have her books again in the coming weeks. Thank you again!”
“Would definitely use Nancy and Tim again, Georgie has always traveled with us but she couldn't come on our 12 day adventure and we were absolutely comfortable leaving her with Nancy and Tim. Nancy sent pics of Georgie all cuddled up with her which told me Georgie was having a happy stay! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the way! Thank you again?”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely feel they’re meant to be by your side. I have hands-on experience with senior care, helping an older dog walk, carrying him when needed, and keeping him comfortable. Dogs understand emotions and give unconditional support, and I make sure to return that same care, patience, and love to every dog I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time about 25–30 hours a week at a nearby job, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I can consistently provide walks, attention, feeding, and care throughout the day, making sure your dog is never neglected and always looked after In a client’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I’m very respectful of your space, always clean up after myself and the dog, and make sure your home stays in great condition while you’re away.
“My large 2 yr old doodle pup Rooney was a repeat client of Jonathan's this summer. He's very nice, dependable, flexible & has reasonable rates. He had great communication on logistics as well as providing updates on Roo. He was very accommodating with early morn./late night pick-ups/drop-offs which was much appreciated. I trusted that Roo was well cared for & having fun with walks & playtime in the big fenced yard.”
“Anouk is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her, as she goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is taken care of, happy, healthy and she also communicates (all good and bad things) in timely manner.”
“Patricia did a Great job caring for my Reese’s. He enjoyed his time there. Making friends with other dogs big and small. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend”
“Kali was a great choice, she took great care of our dog( who can be challenging at times) She was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Tom did an excellent job taking care of Daisy. She seemed so comfortable and happy. Tom texted pictures each day and let us know how Daisy was doing. I would definitely recommend Tom!”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”
“Echo has never had a better time! He came home exhausted. Angelina took great care of him and sent pictures regularly. We will definitely bring Echo to hang out with Angelina and her dog, Jasmine, in the future.”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with my Husky. I was worried since it was the first time leaving him with someone he didn’t already know. Her yard is a doggie oasis, they were so loving and attentive and made me feel at ease leaving him while we were on vacation. I will definitely be using her again, 5 star doggie treatment!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We had a wonderful initial meet and greet with Carol. Our dog doesn't take to everyone but immediately took to Carol. We dropped our dog off feeling very good about Carol. While we were away Carol sent pictures of our dog relaxing on the couch looking very happy and healthy. When we returned our dog was obviously happy to see us. Carol said the two of them had a nice time together. I would definitely recommend Carol and we will use her again in the future when needed.”
“Our dog Peyton loved her stay! She was well rested when we picked her up and received plenty of exercise. We got a few updates throughout the night and Kate and Janet responded quickly to any messages we sent! Thanks again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Head
This was my second time using Meredith and she’s worth every penny! I’ve taken my dog Zeke to 10+ different people over the years and multiple moves and she’s been BY FAR the best we’ve ever used. Meredith sends pictures, consistent updates, and gets your dog a ton of exercise. If that’s not enough, she gives you a picture of your dog at the end with a note about their experience for the time period with her. I would use Meredith again and again!
Samantha watched my mom’s two dogs for a week, right after one of them was spayed and had a small lesion on her neck from having a bump removed. getting them back, they seem so happy, comfortable, and clearly very well taken care of! this was something we were really worried about since no one has ever watched them before, so we were so happy to receive nothing but great feedback and to see how comfortable they were when we got them back. thank you so much, Samantha! if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, i definitely recommend her!! 🫶
Jonathan is the absolute best. I had an unplanned trip to Mexico last minute I was able to book last minute. I received updates Throughout the day. Kingston came back smelling great super happy and full. Typically my baby boy gets very bad separation anxiety and will stop eating. Jonathan made sure his anxiety was controlled. He was happy and a I couldn’t be any happier with his service. Thank you so much !!!!!
How lucky we are to have found Tokar to watch our Charli girl!! Tokar is warm and loving even welcoming Charli with her very own welcome sign on the porch when we arrived. We received picture updates and just knew Charli was having a great time. We look forward to seeing Tokar again!!!
Kate took such amazing care of our girl! It is clear that she truly loves dogs and treats each one she cares for like they’re her own. We could tell when we picked our dog up that she was happy, healthy, and relaxed. We especially loved that she let our dog sleep with her in bed since that is something she is used to doing at home with us. We also appreciated the photos and updates Kate sent us. We will definitely be booking with Kate again in the future!

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 1,070 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bay Head. 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.
96% of Bay Head 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 Bay Head 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 Bay Head 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 Bay Head.
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 Bay Head 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.
