About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.
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.

“We have a big, strong German Shepherd. We needed someone who could handle him and who he was comfortable around. At our initial meet and greet we knew Jonathan was that person! Moose took to him right away and Jonathan was able to get Moose to calm down and listen to him. Jonathan came today for three walks. He had no trouble getting Moose in and out of his crate, feeding him, walking and playing with him. When we got home this afternoon Moose was calm…and tired! Jonathan sent updates and photos during all three visits and it was easy to see how well they were getting along. Moose can be reactive to cars, dogs, etc. on his walks and Jonathan let me know about Moose’s behavior and handled him without trouble. I highly recommend Jonathan!”

About: While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and helping with family animals, including feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care. Love nothing more! I’m working part time, so I have plenty of time to be with the pups! Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday are my most available days! No times are an issue with me! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, attention, and a safe environment at all times. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, energy levels, and surroundings to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m respectful of each owner’s instructions and home, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”

About: I was so fortunate to grow up with pets of my own. When I was in college, I had several families who I taught piano to their children ask me to walk their dogs and also to stay at their homes while they traveled. I naturally enjoyed it, and the families started referring me to other people. I have had the opportunity to care for dogs, cays, birds, fish, bunnies, ferretts, and reptiles. I'm now a mom to 3 children who also love animals. We have a 5 year old cockapoo who thinks he's one of the kids, because he's such an important piece of our family. I have had the opportunity over the years to gain experience working with puppies and kittens through geriatric age. I have also helped families with general training to help them keep up their routine. I am not a trainer. I am however happy to utilize commands you share with me to provide the best relationship and care for your pup. I am very fortunate to have a very flexible schedule which has allowed me to grow wonderful relationships with local families I have a very flexible schedule and can usually take same day appointments. I'm happy to help however I can. I feel fortunate to have the flexible schedule that I do! I prefer to care for pets at your home. It is important to me to know all information that will keep your pet safe! What is your pet's routine like? How do they react to new people? How do they react to a new person when you're not around? Do you have a fenced in yard to play in or prefer only a leashed walk? What are words that you use when another dog is approaching or if you don't want your dog to try to chase a squirrel? Do you provide positive reinforcement? Are you currently working on any training? Has your dog ever shown aggression? How friendly is your dog with other dogs? These are some examples of the things it is very important for us to discuss so that I can ensure I am fully prepared for any situation as your pup and I become new friends and get to know each other.
About: I have had 4 dogs of my own or in my family over my lifetime. At an average of 11 years each buddy, even Charlie the bulldog lived long, healthy and happy lives. If I jump in the car, I let them to join. I have been know to stop for a hot dog, burger (no roll) or ice cream on special holidays. Always have fresh water and doggy treats. I would provide with the parents permission. I have a beautiful home just one block from the beach' I have a pool and fenced deck for summer fun and there is a beautiful lake across the street that is one mile for a walk complete walk around. Lots of love and plenty of time to hang out. I am big on sending pictures and fun shots also video of great moments throughout the day. The beach area is great and i have places for a run. I work from home. The house is sundrenched and there are plenty of places to snooze. Glad to play ball, scratch belly and butts and go for a walks throughout the day. We even have a fenced in back yard and pool. We have a fenced deck, your buddy will always be on a leash outside. He can be free to walk around the pool deck and spend time in the sunshine with the door to the kitchen open. Two large water bowls always full of cool water ready and waiting. I'll be checking on our buddy all the time.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Alixandra! Our two very timid cats are usually wary of new people, but by the end of the week, they were waiting for her on the front chair, peeking through the window, eager for her to arrive. It was incredible to see how quickly they became comfortable with her. Alixandra is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a way with animals. Knowing our two cats were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
To find sitters in Bay Head with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
