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.
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.
“Samantha was GREAT! She is the sweetest person and communicated really well with us. She brought Callie on a long walk and took some super cute pictures along the way! It's obvious that she loves dogs ◡̈ We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Nicole is a fantastic dog walker! She is reliable, responsive and my dog absolutely adores her 🥰 I am so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I began cat and dog sitting in my early teens and now I an 55. I have always had a deep love for all animals. I have volunteered for a cat rescue for the past 14 years where I have cared for over 60 cats from bottle babies to older cats. I can administer diabetic insulin shots and some meds. I would treat your furry baby as if he/she is my own. I am self employed so I make my own work schedule, allowing me to accommodate yours. I look forward to making your life easier. I currently have 2 cats of my own. I will send you updates and photos continuously. I am a local Realtor so my schedule is very flexible and I will work around your pets needs. I’ve given diabetic insulin to pets as well as prescribed pills. I will put your pets right at ease as they will sense that I am a pet lover the second they meet me. We will be instant friends but they will also know who’s in charge.
About: I’ve had cats ever since i was little, ranging from 2 cats all the way to 5 at the moment. I work with dogs ranging from small to large (10-100 lbs) as well as age differences puppy to seniors. I am trained in bathing dogs as that is my current job. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, and small rodents. I knew that animals were my “thing” ever since I was little and I would treat any animal I meet as my own. I work 5 days a week (monday-tuesday, thursday-saturday). I am available Wednesday and Sundays from 8:30am - 6pm. If other days or times are needed please reach out to me, we can always arrange something! Unfortunately I cannot take in any pets as I do have 5 cats of my own and I do live with my parents. I would treat any persons pet the same way I would treat my own.
“Can’t say thank you enough! Rachel went above, above and beyond! Besides navigating the treacherous sidewalks in my neighborhood with my little tank she followed all of my many instructions. I so appreciate that! She’s truly invested in taking good care of the fur babies!”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child. Me, my sister and the neighborhood kids would all walk our dogs together after school. We'd train them to do tricks and basic things (sit, lay down etc). I recently moved into my own apartment about a year ago and have found myself in need of extra money and thought this would be perfect. I currently work full time tuesday-friday. I'm off mondays and weekends so I have some free time. There is a little park near my apartment perfect for walking dogs. Unfortunately I do have a cat and my apartment has certain rules about pets so I won't be able to watch pets in my own home.

I have experience with shy and timid dogs and I can administer your pet medicine as needed. I currently own 2 dogs myself and one of them being a senior dog myself and I take pride in knowing how to care for all types of furry friends. Please reach out with any questions or inquiry and no matter the situation with your baby- im sure we will be able to become great friends!

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: I love long term stays and getting to know your pet but do any length. Will travel. Current grad student. I’ve done pet sitting for over ten years. Everything from one day to 3 weeks of housesitting. Have had dogs and cats on and off my entire life but due to work currently cant have a pup of my own. Love getting to make new pup friends. No professional training just lots of love cuddles and long walks to give! Happy to do a discount for multiple pets or long stays. Rover automatically sets the rates and doesn't let you change based on main rate. Current grad student (almost entirely remote) so will be able to spend lots of time with your pup or kitty! Always happy to explore a new town walking around with a great pup. Perfer to sit in your home as it keeps the pets more comfortable but will host on a case by case basis if I feel your pet is a good fit.
“There are not enough nice things I can say about Jessica! She was great with Keyser! Keyser is a senior and can be a little tricky to care for. But, he bonded with Jessica instantly and we knew he was in great hands! We highly recommend Jessica!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and currently care for four cats, including two kittens from a mother cat I rescued, rehabilitated, and had spayed. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and providing patient, attentive care. I also care for a bearded dragon, so I understand the importance of routines, habitat care, and attention to detail for pets with specific needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals and personalities. I prioritize safety, consistency, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I work independently with a flexible schedule while attending school mostly online and one class Monday night, which gives me the ability to plan my days around pet care. This allows me to provide reliable check-ins, attentive visits, and consistent routines. Daily care matters to me, from scooping litter and maintaining clean feeding areas to giving my bearded dragon his supplements and proper habitat care. I make sure pets get regular playtime, calm downtime, and their own space, while staying attentive to routines and any changes in behavior.

I also specialize in senior dog care including medication administration. I am home full time so I can give your pet all of the love and attention they need. I am a very active person. I live in a pet friendly apartment with an outdoor space. I am happy to learn and adjust to the needs of each unique animal.

About: My name is Kristen and I currently live in Lavallette. I have a ton of experience with all types of animals especially cats and dogs. I currently live in a home with a fenced in backyard, perfect for your pet to roam. My house is very pet friendly and I will make sure to accommodate whatever is needed. I work remote so I have a lot of flexibility with regards to housing your pet, or going for walks etc. My house is entirely hardwood floors with very little carpet in case accidents do happen. Your pet will have the ability to roam freely throughout my two story house, and sleep wherever they want. We currently have one small very friendly border terrier in the house. Happy to let them interact or keep them separate your choice! We go to the park and I try to take her to the dog park every so often to change it up. I make sure she always has enough food and water when we return, to make sure she stays happy and healthy. I love all animals and have a lot of experience caring for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Head
Holly was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, thoughtful, or caring person to look after our two girls, Stella and Molly. She has such a warm, nurturing presence and was genuinely attuned to their individual personalities and needs. Her dependability, attentiveness, and consideration gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our girls were in such capable and loving hands. Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, Holly is simply a lovely person—kind, conscientious, and a pleasure to work with. It’s clear that she truly cares about the animals entrusted to her. We feel so fortunate to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation!
Caitlin was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for four days. She made sure he got plenty of exercise on his walks and always ensured he was settled and comfortable before leaving. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, which we really appreciated. Throughout our trip, Caitlin kept us updated with photos and even shared maps of their walks, giving us complete peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Bay Head is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $25 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,506 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bay Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bay Head after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
