About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs, Milo and Lady. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can tell she truly cares about animals and treats them like her own. Both dogs can be a bit of a handful, but Amanda handled everything with patience and ease. When we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Amanda exceeded every expectation. We’d absolutely have her watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”

“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”

“Adrianna was great with my two pups! She was very communicative and I got lots of pictures and updates. I was super comfortable from the minute I met with her during our meet and greet, and would definitely use her again!”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and reliable pet lover with experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have two dogs, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday life. Over the years, I’ve cared for many pets through drop-in visits, dog walks, senior pet care and overnights. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, medication reminders, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite parts of pet care is seeing the excitement on a dog’s face when I walk through the door. Building trust and creating a positive experience for every pet is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members soon! 🤍 I currently am working part time at my job, but I old love to spend my mornings/afternoons taking care of your pets! My availability is flexible and can also accept weekend bookings I currently have a small fenced yard where my dogs are able to go out during the day and soak up the sun! They love being outdoors so we can play. I am willing to accommodate any type of service your pets need!
“Vee helped me in a last minute need for a walker. Not only did she take care of Kai but stayed a bit longer and made sure she got a good walk in! Will be using regularly in the future.”

About: As a full-time Realtor who works from home, I offer your dog something most sitters can’t, constant companionship. Your pup won't be waiting by the door for a 5:00 PM return, they’ll be my co-worker all day! Enjoying a flexible schedule that prioritizes their needs. I’m an naturally active person and a local expert on our neighborhood. My home is perfectly situated right across the street from a park and just a short stroll from the Arnold Avenue strip, meaning our daily walks are filled with new sights and great energy. Whether your dog prefers quiet desk-side naps or high-energy outdoor adventures, my professional flexibility allows me to tailor the day to their specific personality. You get the peace of mind that comes with a responsible professional, and your dog gets a fun, active, and fully supervised home away from home. Because I am a Realtor with a home-based office, my schedule is designed around being present and responsive. Your dog becomes my shadow throughout the workday; while I’m handling contracts and calls, they are enjoying supervised indoor playtime or napping right by my desk. My routine is naturally active, and I break up my work blocks with frequent outdoor excursions. Since I live right across from the park and steps from Arnold Ave, we head out for multiple walks a day to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. My professional flexibility means I can easily adjust my 'office hours' to accommodate your dog’s specific feeding, potty, or exercise needs. Whether it's a mid-morning stroll or an afternoon adventure, your pup is integrated into a consistent, high-energy, and fully supervised daily flow. In my home, your dog is my full-time office companion. Since I work from my desk throughout the day, your pup enjoys constant supervision and plenty of 'desk-side' affection. Our routine is built around our incredible location—we take frequent breaks to head across the street to the park or stroll down toward Arnold Ave for some fresh air and socialization. My home is a calm, professional environment where your dog can relax in their favorite spot while I work, punctuated by high-energy outdoor adventures to keep them happy and tired.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have over 10 years experience in petsitting! Every single animal I’ve gotten to know leaves a lasting impression on me. I have had dogs my entire life, and have been through every stage of life with them. As well as the extra care that comes with them — whether it be medicine, extra potty breaks, feeding routines, messes, or whatever they need. I know how important it is to show love and attention to our pets from puppy to senior. I carry that love and responsibility with me to new pets I meet and care for! I understand what a privilege it is to be trusted with them, and it’s something I really take to heart that clients have trusted me to do. Our “pets” are our family! My priority is making sure you and them feel comfortable and safe during the time I get to spend with them. Every pet has their own quirks and routines, and learning those things are one of the things I enjoy most about doing this. I have two dogs, Koda and Kavik! My sister takes over while I am away. They both have plenty of quirks, but it makes them who they are and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve spent time from a few days to a month with dogs and cats, ranging from a single pet to four of each! All different types, sizes, and ages. Each and every one of them were a pleasure and I appreciate the trust that comes with having someone look after them and stay in your home! Please reach out for any further details or questions! I’m happy to answer and want to make sure you are comfortable. I currently have plenty of open time to spend with your animals! I have my own dogs, but live with family who share the caretaking responsibilities. I keep a safe and clean environment for your pets to roam or crate them if needed. I have experience administering medication and taking care of dogs and cats that need special attention and care. I like to take detailed notes and pictures on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of to make sure I’m taking care of them and on top of your pets needs.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs. Had a 120lb lab mix for 12 years so I am not intimidated by any dog size! I work remote 2x a week and tend to stay local on the weekends. I am available during my remote days to tend to dogs during the morning, my lunch break and after hours. I am available almost every night as well after work. I had an electric fence for my dogs growing up but am very familiar with fenced in yards as well. I am also very comfortable with crating dogs as well
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve raised my own pup since she was just 8 weeks old. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with routines, structure, and all the day-to-day things that help dogs feel secure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve trained my family’s dogs over the years and I’m always happy to keep up with whatever training plan you already have in place. I’ve also had the incredible experience of fostering multiple dogs, which has deepened my love for animals and taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I love getting dogs outside; beach walks, park trips, or just a good sniff-filled stroll around the block. And if your dog enjoys car rides, I’m completely comfortable driving them where they need to go. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own: with patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. I’m currently in nursing school and Im a certified yoga instructor, but caring for my own dog is a built-in part of my day. No matter how busy things get, I make time for her walks, her routine, and her little moments of attention, and I bring that same consistency to any dog I’m watching. I’m a pretty active person by nature, so if I’m not in class or teaching a yoga session, I’m usually out getting some fresh air in some way, and having a dog with me just makes it better! Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer outing, I’m always happy to get a pup out and moving. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore, play, and get their energy out. I always keep an eye on them during playtime so everything stays safe and comfortable! I’m totally fine handling feeding routines and using crates if that’s part of what your dog is used to, especially when I step out of the house. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routines you already have in place. If your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll match that! I focus on making your pet feel secure and at ease in their own space, and I stay attentive to their needs so they have a calm and positive experience while you’re away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bay Head stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bay Head choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
