“Moose loved staying at Carly's. She asked prior about having another dog there at the same time. Moose was thrilled to have a buddy to hang out with! He came back happy and tired. Highly recommend Carly”


“I had such an incredible experience with Meghan! This was my first time using Rover and having someone dog sit my baby that was not a friend or family member. Meghan was so understanding and was so so communicative by sending me daily texts and pics. Cannot recommend her enough!! My Scout loves Meghan and can't wait to go back!”

“Jenn was very accommodating with our last minute request! She sent us photos while we were away which we loved! We didn't worry at all about Abbie being in good hands and would recommend Jenn to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Christine was incredibly kind and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay by sending multiple photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She has plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play, was extremely responsive despite our last-minute request, and made the entire experience seamless. I would absolutely recommend her and can’t wait to book with her again!”

“We were so happy with then love and care our Luc Barrett received. It was great to get daily picture updates. We highly recommend Vincent B for your dogs care, your dog will be so happy!”

About: Your pet gets more than a sitter they get a new best friend! ❤️ Since I work from home, they'll enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Photo updates are always included so you can see all the fun! Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who worked as a vet tech many moons ago while I was in nursing school. These days, I work from home, which means your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is also full of fellow animal lovers! We have two dogs, a bunny, a love bird and a bearded dragon, and my two kids absolutely love helping care for our furry (and scaly!) guests. I'm also a bit of a homebody, so spending time at home with animals is truly my happy place. I can't wait to welcome your pet as part of the family! Your pet's comfort and routine are my top priorities! I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I'm always happy to take dogs on leashed walks for extra exercise and enrichment. I can follow your pet's regular feeding schedule, administer medications if needed, and tailor care to their individual needs and personality. Whether they love to play, explore, or simply relax with lots of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“This was the first time I left Koda anywhere but the kennel I have always used. Janet & Katie were wonderful. Koda was very well taken care of, and happy. I am so happy I found these 2 dog lovers!”

“Deb is a fabulous sitter for my two senior dogs! She paid attention to their cues and ways. She let us know how they did each day. She gave us a full report when we returned, too. They were happy to see us when we picked them up. Thank you for taking such good care of our family members, Deb!”

“We were hesitant about leaving Max with anyone while we took a vacation. After meeting Carol we we were reassured. She really put us at ease by sending pictures and a video of Max out for a walk. He was well taken care of and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. We will definitely book with Carol again when we need a sitter for Max. Thank you!!”

“My pup Django loved his time with Carol Ann! She is the sweetest and spent lots of time with him - he even got sick to his stomach halfway through the trip and she made sure to nurse him back to health. Had no worries at all while away on our one week vacay!”

“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”


“Fiona is great! Our little Sherlock boy loved her! He is an old man, set in his ways but he was very comfortable with her. She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and even got him new treats. He has a nervous habit of drinking a lot of water when in a new environment. She immediately picked up on it and messaged me and watched him as he settled down into normal drinking levels. Rover and Fiona in particular were a great solution for us while camping at a no-dogs campground.”

“We had such a great experience with Carly! Fig absolutely loved spending time with Willow- they became fast friends. It was such a comfort knowing Fig was in a warm, caring home with another sweet pup to play with. Highly recommend!”

“We can’t thank Rachel enough for watching Ralphie, on short notice too! He had such a great time and was well cared for! Rachel was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. Ralphie also enjoyed playing with Chloe, who is such a sweet dog :) We definitely plan to contact Rachel again in the future!! Thank you so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Head
This was my second time using Meredith and she’s worth every penny! I’ve taken my dog Zeke to 10+ different people over the years and multiple moves and she’s been BY FAR the best we’ve ever used. Meredith sends pictures, consistent updates, and gets your dog a ton of exercise. If that’s not enough, she gives you a picture of your dog at the end with a note about their experience for the time period with her. I would use Meredith again and again!

Samantha watched my mom’s two dogs for a week, right after one of them was spayed and had a small lesion on her neck from having a bump removed. getting them back, they seem so happy, comfortable, and clearly very well taken care of! this was something we were really worried about since no one has ever watched them before, so we were so happy to receive nothing but great feedback and to see how comfortable they were when we got them back. thank you so much, Samantha! if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, i definitely recommend her!! 🫶

Jonathan is the absolute best. I had an unplanned trip to Mexico last minute I was able to book last minute. I received updates Throughout the day. Kingston came back smelling great super happy and full. Typically my baby boy gets very bad separation anxiety and will stop eating. Jonathan made sure his anxiety was controlled. He was happy and a I couldn’t be any happier with his service. Thank you so much !!!!!

How lucky we are to have found Tokar to watch our Charli girl!! Tokar is warm and loving even welcoming Charli with her very own welcome sign on the porch when we arrived. We received picture updates and just knew Charli was having a great time. We look forward to seeing Tokar again!!!

Kate took such amazing care of our girl! It is clear that she truly loves dogs and treats each one she cares for like they’re her own. We could tell when we picked our dog up that she was happy, healthy, and relaxed. We especially loved that she let our dog sleep with her in bed since that is something she is used to doing at home with us. We also appreciated the photos and updates Kate sent us. We will definitely be booking with Kate again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bay Head on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,109 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bay Head. About 90% of Bay Head sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
