About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, patience, and care. I work full-time, but I’m never home later than 6:00 PM and am only about 15 minutes away from home while at work. I can board pets for weekends or longer stays during the week. I make it a priority to check on and care for pets during my lunch break, so they are never left alone for extended periods. Your pet will never be unattended for more than 8 hours, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I will care for your dog according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. If your dog is crate-trained, I can safely crate them when needed and follow any specific instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am a physical therapist by trade and a pet lover all hours of the day! Currently observing to hopefully become a canine physical therapist. I work full-time but very close to home and I have long lunches. I work 4 days a week and usually have 3 day weekends (Friday through Sunday). I will be respectful of your pet and home. From crating to walking, playing, feeding, and tending to your pets needs. You can trust I will do it all.
“Meredith was amazing, my dogs loved her! I have an 80lb Weimaraner and 26lb beagle and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk together. My Weimaraner can be reactive to other dogs, sometimes pulls, and they both sort of go their different paces with the beagle stopping to sniff constantly. My neighbors and family that saw her out with my dogs said she handled them beautifully and we had no issues. My Weim also doesn’t love everyone he meets, and he immediately took to her, trying to lean/snuggle with Meredith, so she must give off the good vibes to animals. Meredith was also very communicative. I never worried that she wouldn’t show and an added bonus was the photos she sent. I would definitely recommend using Meredith and will use her again myself :)”
“Samantha took great care of our Gokdendoodle Gracie when we were away . She sent us pictures and comments of her care. Highly recommend her to care for any of your pets. Thanks Samantha ??”
“Five stars for John, no question! Charlie was so well taken care of — John sent us tons of cute photos and it was obvious how much he adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
“We were very happy with Grace and she took great care of our girl while we were gone for a long day! She took our pup on a nice long walk and sent us photo updates which we very much appreciated. We will definitely use Grace again in the future.”
About: Dogs have been in my life forever, mine always my bestfriend. They simply bring joy to me, I can bathe, walk, feed, entertain, cuddle , and understand your pet! I am available before 5:00 PM every day except Thursday and Sunday. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, so I can consistently make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For overnight stays, I just ask for at least one week’s notice whenever possible so I can coordinate my schedule and ensure I can give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As the primary caretaker for my dog, Bear, I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate pet visits, walks, and overnight care, and I enjoy spending time with animals as part of my week. This makes caring for other pets feel natural and rewarding for me.
About: I have 3 Shih Tzu’s. I also have been working for a Professional dog walking company. I have watched 3 dogs at my home for weeks at a time when a couple of my friends go away. I’m retired after working more then 30 years at Brick Township High School. I love dogs! I have a flexible schedule as of right now. I’m walking a few dogs a week for a Company. I’m retired. Looking too keep busy and get my walking in also. I have a truck so snow and rain will not stop me. I’m very experienced walking dogs and ensuring they are safe. I’ve walked big strong Labs and small dogs also. I am trust worthy and could House sit/dog sit if required. I also have gone to homes 4 times a day while a client is away and walk them/feed them, etc.
“Pamela did a great job walking our 2yr old German Shepherd while we were out of town. It was a huge relief to have such a reliable and experienced dog owner taking care of our girl!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and am always patient when it comes to caring for pets. I also frequently dog sit and dog walk for family friends. I am a college student home for the summer and am extremely flexible when it comes to drop in times. I am available weekdays and weekends and can work with you to find the most convenient time to care for your pets. I am very active throughout the day so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or play with them until they get tired!
About: Hi, I’m Alix, a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of raising a big, lovable Bouvier, two adorable Yorkies—one had diabetes who needed daily insulin shots—and I’ve shared my home with a playful Frenchie. Now, I live with two Bouviers and a very spoiled Tuxedo cat, so I’m no stranger to dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your furry family like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a leisurely stroll, I’m here to make their day the best it can be. It’s a pet’s life, and I’m lucky to be living in it! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your furry friend at any time during the weekdays and weekends too. Pets I care for get regular feeding or feeding based on dietary needs, along with regular exercise. They always have access to drinking water. I take them out to the bathroom regularly and ensure they either have a safe fenced in area to play or walk them on a leash. I take dogs I care for a walk to maintain exercise. I always ensure to have the number of their vet for any emergencies. I also make sure to give them plenty of love!!
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: Hi! I’m Amanda, a nurse and lifelong animal lover who is brand new to Rover and so excited to be here. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, both professionally and personally, and that same level of compassion, patience, and attentiveness carries over into the way I care for pets. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or needs a little extra patience and TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a nurse, safety, reliability, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I take caring for pets very seriously, from secure leashes and locked gates to making sure routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special instructions are followed closely. I know how nerve wracking it can feel leaving your pets with someone new, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for pet care throughout my week. I work as a nurse, so being dependable, communicative, and attentive comes naturally to me. I’m excited to be starting my journey on Rover and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to details like secure leashes, closed gates, feeding instructions, medications, and routines to make sure every pet is safe and cared for. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own.

Whether your pet needs a quick walk while you’re working late or medication administered at a certain time everyday, I would be happy to offer my expertise and services.
“Meg was great! She stepped up last minute to walk my dog in the cold and I couldn’t recommend her more. My dog was instantly comfortable with her when we did our meetup, and she made me feel at ease with pictures, videos, and updates of him after each walk. She was also very thoughtful and brought over salt to sprinkle on my property after the big storm without even being asked. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go away. Thanks again Meg!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bay Head. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bay Head.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay Head. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
