“Tina was unbelievable! You can tell how much she loves dogs and cared for our dog so well! Our dog went on so many great walks and outings! Highly recommend! Couldn’t be happier with Tina’s care and updates everyday!”
“My dog Coco had such a great time at Tokar’s! She was very communicative and provided lots of updates. I was away for a few days and knew coco was in good hands! Would definitely recommend and i’m sure we will be returning!”
“Lisa was amazing! We had to make last minute adjustments for a trip out of the country for my Ella to stay with her. She was patient and understanding. The best part is when I went to pick my girl up after not seeing her for 10 days, she was still herself. It's obvious that Lisa has a love for animals. I would recommend to anyone :)”
“Christine and her family took excellent care of our Sugar and Ella while we were away. She updated us frequently with texts and pictures.As a rescue dog, Sugar is normally very tentative and shy. Sugar came home a new girl. She is even greeting strangers without fear! Ella had an issue with her ears while we were away, and Christine quickly reached out to us to treat it.They both were happy and healthy when we returned.”
About: I have had dogs for over 30 years. From border collies, Rottweilers, pit bulls, Australian cattle/Sheppard and various other breeds. While I am new to rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I have had many friends entrust me with their dogs for days to weeks at a time. My wife and I currently have a 30 lbs mix breed named Riley. She loves walks on the beach and playing with other dogs. I have a large fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to run and play in. I also live in a quiet neighborhood with wooded trails near by perfect for long walks. Currently I am between finishing helicopter flight school and starting my new job as a helicopter tour pilot. My schedule open daily for pet care Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for your dog to play and run with my dog Riley. Since every dog has their own unique personality, I will be sure to learn their individual needs and wants. Whether it’s playing in the yard, walks around the neighborhood or walks on the beach, I will always make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable.
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with Lilly during her 3-night stay! She was so diligent about sending regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated her as her own and Lilly looked so happy in every photo and came home calm and relaxed. Christine genuinely cares for pets, and I highly recommend her! I will definitely be a return customer.”
“When we met Carly and family , they immediately made us feel that Logan would be nothing but well taken care of and loved. When we returned to pick her up we knew that she had a great time and that she loved her stay. Carly and family walked Logan several times a day and even had her join the family in watching the basketball finals. They are truly a wonderful family worthy of your pets care.”
“Vincent took great care of our German shepherd Trooper this weekend. He kept us updated throughout Trooper’s time with him which was great. Trooper liked Vincent immediately, and he sometimes takes a few minutes to warm up to new people. Trooper is sad now that he’s home with his parents (lol) so we know he had a great time. He can’t wait to visit his new friend again!”
“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!”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”
“Nicole took such amazing care of our dog Dakota while we were away! We’ve used her twice now, and both times Dakota came home sooo happy. You can really tell Nicole genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. She even recommended a great groomer for Dakota, which we really appreciated. She has a nice backyard, and her kids and dogs are super friendly, so Dakota had plenty of fun and social time while staying there. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dakota was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole — definitely a 5-star experience!”
“Alba and her husband are beautiful couple I leave for my first time with Alba and my two girls one shih tzu and shih poo are very happy with them the first day was like they know them for ever i we was very happy too. Alba going to be my favorite sitter for life definitely you can trust them and they love my babies too. Recommend a plus”
“Like many others, my dog is basically my child so I always get a little nervous when it comes to finding a sitter. I contacted Cheryl to watch my 5 year old dachshund for two nights for a wedding we were attending. She was very responsive and was also conveniently located 10 minutes from our hotel. We traveled from NY and therefore didn’t get the opportunity to do a meet and greet beforehand but Cheryl reassured me that her dog Gus was friendly with everyone and when our dog met him, they got along right away. Cheryl has a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around and although our dog typically sleeps on our bed, Cheryl had plenty of comfy couches and dog beds available. My dog is also an incredibly picky eater and eats fresh refrigerated dog food (he’s a diva I know) and Cheryl had no problems accommodating this. She provided many updates which I certainly appreciated. I would recommend Cheryl to others looking for a dog sitter in the area. She did a great job taking care of my fur baby and I would use her as a sitter if we were ever in the area again. Thank you for taking great care of Wilson, Cheryl!!”
“Very appreciative to have taken my pup last minute when I flew home for a wedding. Was great with my pup and he loved playing with her kiddos. Thankful that she was able to give him his medications when asked. Thank you so much, definitely would recommend and use again when back in the area!!”
“Sweet, caring, and trustworthy people. They took amazing care of my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking with them again in the future.”

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!
I had a fantastic experience with Samantha as my pet sitter! She picked up my dog and dropped him off and kept me updated with daily pictures. I felt completely at ease knowing my furry friend was in such good hands. Highly recommend her & will become a repeat customer myself!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bay Head on Rover is $33.04 per night (as of June 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 1,100 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bay Head. About 89% 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.
