“Rachel is the LITERAL best. She took care of our two dogs as if they were her own. She texted me every day to let me know how they were doing, and included photos, videos and little details about their day that helped put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend you do too. 11/10, cannot recommend enough ❤️”

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 been around dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own. I work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’m the go-to dog sitter in my family. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and making sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and treating them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already work with dogs and care for pets regularly. On weekends, I’m available after 1 PM and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, visits, and playtime. During the week, I work and attend school, but I’m available in the afternoons on Mondays and in the evenings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m used to planning my schedule around pet care and always make sure the pets I’m caring for receive reliable attention and consistent care. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and always have fresh water. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I currently work at a doggy daycare and have dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, care, and love while you’re gone.
“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.”

About: Need a responsible adult to take care of your fur babies? Going away for the weekend and need someone to feed the cats & check on the house? Heading out after work but need to let the dog out? (Cue the music...)That's me! I grew up with dogs and a hamster, then adopted 2 cats out of college. Now married with 2 children, we are sharing our lives and home with our elderly German-Shorthaired-Point (adopted in 2010). In addition, I have helped my neighbors by taking their dogs for walks and dropping in to feed their 3 cats while they were away for the weekend. Spending time with animals makes my heart happy. Please consider me to help care for your pet. I am currently offering drop-in visits or Dog-Walking. I have a full-time job September to June (Monday - Friday), so my availability is on the weekends. However, July & August, I am available 7 days a week. I am currently offering drop in visits or dog-walking. My goal is to follow all directions provided, especially in maintaining routines, ensuring safety through secured environments, and providing some time for companionship. Key tasks by the pet owner can include feeding, administering medication, exercising, and cleaning up any messes. I will also maintain communication with the pet owner with updates.
“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.”

“Tiffany was great. She requested a video call beforehand to ensure we were a good fit. I certainly appreciated this as if allows me to see who the person is before allowing them in my home. She also asked great questions about Elmer and what my preferences were. On the day of the visit, she gave a detailed summary about the interaction. All of this was a great relief to know my pup was is good hands! Would highly recommend!”

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.
“Kate is wonderful with my Sherlock. She is reliable & most of all trustworthy to take care of my dog. I immediately liked her when we met for our meet & greet. I would highly recommend her to all my dog parents! Thank you Kate!”

“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!”

About: I got my first animal when I was 3 years old, a cat named Theodore Roosevelt. Since then I’ve had 2 dogs and another cat personally. But as anyone in my close inner circle would tell you, I have been entrusted by friends and family to care for their animals as well. I’m trusted because they know my love for animals and that I’ll keep them safe and make sure they’re loved! I have a full time work from home position which allows my schedule to be very flexible. Unfortunately my apartment building does not allow any pets so I cannot have pets at my apartment, but I’m more than happy to fit into your schedule and stay for extended periods of time if needed including overnight! I just need my laptop and charger if it’s a weekday :) I will follow any instructions you provide. I’m familiar providing care to puppies as well as senior dogs. One of my current dogs now is 11 years old so I understand the need for important medications, etc.

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.

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 .

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.
