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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, as I grew up with 2 dogs. I have 5+ years of experience in housesitting, walks and playdates. I also have experience with reactive dogs, where I can keep them safe during walks with patience. I currently work in a mostly freelance and remote environment. I am flexible and I communicate well about my schedule for accommodating your fur friends. I treat every pet at home as if it were my own. I make sure to follow instructions precisely and with care. I make sure to double check that fences are closed and doors are locked. Pet safety is a top priority. I have a lot of love for what I do and that shows in my work.

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.

Adrianna was absolutely fantastic with my 2 dogs! We needed a last minute dog sitter for a weekend trip, and Adrianna was more than willing to work with us. She sent plenty of photos, updates, and even went out of her way to get them new toys! We are definitely using Adrianna in the future for any other trips.

What can we say, we loved Kate from the moment we met her. When she came to the house to meet Willy, she sat right down in the floor with him, petting and scratching behind his ears. Very good communication and went above and beyond when we ran out of his 2 prescription meds and went to pick them up for us. Definitely will be using Kate moving forward.

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!

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 had a lab and weinerdog when I was little into my teens. We got our pit when I was 11. He's a senior now. And currently I have 2 cats if my own. One of my cats takes a med every night while the other one needs a butt wipe and grooming. I work full time as a para at a school for disabled, and part time ABA therapy for kids with autism. I'm hoping to fit in hours during the weekend and during school holidays. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and administer meds to my cats. My male cat is very playful, while my female cat all she wants is to be brushed constantly. Growing up I had a very feister daschound who played a lot, even in her old age. Generally I'm comfortable with whatever your pet might require.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Bay Head

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Bay Head on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,470 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bay Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay Head. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
