Meredith did a great job with my dog, Otis. He came back happy, tired, and well taken care of. She communicated clearly, was easy to work with, and flexible with my work schedule. I’ll definitely book with her again if she’s available. Highly recommend.

About: Now boarding full time! Have watched Great Danes, St Bernard's, Border Collies, German Shephards, Pitbulls, Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Huskies, if you name a dog breed I've probably boarded it with no issues! Questions? Reach out and ask! I'm available at your convenience I have a car with valid license and insurance. Live about 10 minutes from the beach in point boro. I have a deep voice that dogs often respond to, and taught my family's dog everything he knows! https://www.rover.com/sit/jonatb23570 If this is your first time booking on rover you can use this code for $20 off! I seek to walk dogs full time and have an open schedule, I will plan around your needs as such! Flexibility is a definite with me! I have a large yard perfect for dogs that want to run! Lots of toys and treats during downtime, and for walks I strive to fully and safely exercise your dog (this includes sunlight and fresh air, not to mention a pace catered to your dogs exercise needs!)

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.

About: Trusting a sitter with your fur children is hard!! I take pride in knowing I provide the utmost care for animals. I love them much more than I love humans. I work remotely during the day so I will be home all day if boarding with me. I have 1 very silly very lazy rescue French bulldog and 3 very playful cats. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, kittens, seniors. I love to be outside and will get your dog any exercise you want them to have. My pets get along very well together in the house. They are the boss of me! I can drop in at mostly any times, schedule is flexible. If they are boarding with me they have free roam of the house and fenced backyard. Lots of playtime, treats if permitted, walks, couch cuddle time, fresh food and water, time to decompress, lots of pets. If boarding, they can sleep in the bed if they want to.

About: I have a sweet Italian Greyhound mix 7 year-old dog, Luna, whom I love to the moon and back. I also have a 12 year-old cat named Stella and a 6 year old kitty named Thor. I have watched many dogs over the years, including overnight stays. I have experience with feedings/special diets, grooming, walks, playtime, crate training, and snuggle sessions. I am an active runner, so if your little one needs a little extra exercise, I love running with dogs. I work full time from home, so your dog will not be unattended for long periods of time and I can take breaks during the day for lots of walks. There will be lots of social interaction and attention given to every animal in my care. I hope to meet your fur bundle of joy soon! I work full time out of my house and can take care of your animals morning, afternoon and night. We will have lots of time for walks and play daily. I have a fenced yard and the friendliest animals that will keep your pup company. We have two small children that love animals and understand boundaries - they are great play companions as well.

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.

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 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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bay Head

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 890 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bay Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bay Head commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 890 sitters in Bay Head, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
