About: I have had 4 dogs of my own or in my family over my lifetime. At an average of 11 years each buddy, even Charlie the bulldog lived long, healthy and happy lives. If I jump in the car, I let them to join. I have been know to stop for a hot dog, burger (no roll) or ice cream on special holidays. Always have fresh water and doggy treats. I would provide with the parents permission. I have a beautiful home just one block from the beach' I have a pool and fenced deck for summer fun and there is a beautiful lake across the street that is one mile for a walk complete walk around. Lots of love and plenty of time to hang out. I am big on sending pictures and fun shots also video of great moments throughout the day. The beach area is great and i have places for a run. I work from home. The house is sundrenched and there are plenty of places to snooze. Glad to play ball, scratch belly and butts and go for a walks throughout the day. We even have a fenced in back yard and pool. We have a fenced deck, your buddy will always be on a leash outside. He can be free to walk around the pool deck and spend time in the sunshine with the door to the kitchen open. Two large water bowls always full of cool water ready and waiting. I'll be checking on our buddy all the time.

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

We were in a bind when our regular cat sitter had to cancel last minute due to illness, and Kerri stepped in immediately. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and took full responsibility from the start, which gave us such peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she handled everything seamlessly on short notice. Most impressively, our two very timid cats actually came out to greet her — something that almost never happens! We’re so grateful to have found Kerri and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely feel they’re meant to be by your side. I have hands-on experience with senior care, helping an older dog walk, carrying him when needed, and keeping him comfortable. Dogs understand emotions and give unconditional support, and I make sure to return that same care, patience, and love to every dog I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time about 25–30 hours a week at a nearby job, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I can consistently provide walks, attention, feeding, and care throughout the day, making sure your dog is never neglected and always looked after In a client’s home, I stick closely to your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I’m very respectful of your space, always clean up after myself and the dog, and make sure your home stays in great condition while you’re away.

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.

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.

Annette was wonderful with our Golden Retriever. Hudson can be timid at first but she was patient with him and won him over in no time. She was punctual and took great care of him - we will definitely use Annette again in the future!

About: Need a responsible adult to take care of your fur babies? Going away for the weekend and need someone to feed the cats & check on the house? Heading out after work but need to let the dog out? (Cue the music...)That's me! I grew up with dogs and a hamster, then adopted 2 cats out of college. Now married with 2 children, we are sharing our lives and home with our elderly German-Shorthaired-Point (adopted in 2010). In addition, I have helped my neighbors by taking their dogs for walks and dropping in to feed their 3 cats while they were away for the weekend. Spending time with animals makes my heart happy. Please consider me to help care for your pet. I am currently offering drop-in visits or Dog-Walking. I have a full-time job September to June (Monday - Friday), so my availability is on the weekends. However, July & August, I am available 7 days a week. I am currently offering drop in visits or dog-walking. My goal is to follow all directions provided, especially in maintaining routines, ensuring safety through secured environments, and providing some time for companionship. Key tasks by the pet owner can include feeding, administering medication, exercising, and cleaning up any messes. I will also maintain communication with the pet owner with updates.

About: I have had dogs and other pets ever since I was 10 years old. I have always felt they are a crucial member of our family. I believe they deserve the best care and attention, as they truly are our best friends. I enjoy my own dogs companionship and unconditional love. I completely understand first hand the value they give to the quality of our lives. I would love to help other furry parents feel comfortable knowing their dogs are in good hands with me as I will treat your pups like family when they need an extra helping hand. I have great flexibility as I am an instacart shopper with a flexible schedule. I can work with the client to work or a schedule. I have a fenced in yard. We walk both of our dogs daily. They are secure and have Identification tags as well. I believe in safety first.

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. Here’s a professional response you can use on Rover: I recently transitioned away from my full-time job, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and much more availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and last-minute requests throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Caring for pets is my priority, so I can provide reliable, attentive care and work with your schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I look forward to giving every pet the love, attention, and exercise they deserve! 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’m a lifelong animal person that’s - family always includes a dog or three! I’m familiar with many characters… the mush, the anxious, the energetic, or even the yapper. From growing up always being a co dog mom to my recent certification with Guiding Eyes for the Blind to sit and train seeing eye pups, I’d love to be a trustworthy friend for your four-legged family member(s)! Little note - vegan for 7+ years, so you know I truly love animals;) I’m a returning intern at a local firm, which gives me some flexibility and keeps me within close proximity. I’m a morning person, can make myself available for a midday visit, and am always happy to stop by after the work day. If you need help on the weekend, I’m absolutely here for you! I can promise I’ll not only take care of your pup’s needs but also become their best play buddy. As I said before, I’ve grown up around and have loved many characters, so I’m comfortable getting to know any pup.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own. I work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’m the go-to dog sitter in my family. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and making sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and treating them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already work with dogs and care for pets regularly. On weekends, I’m available after 1 PM and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, visits, and playtime. During the week, I work and attend school, but I’m available in the afternoons on Mondays and in the evenings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m used to planning my schedule around pet care and always make sure the pets I’m caring for receive reliable attention and consistent care. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and always have fresh water. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I currently work at a doggy daycare and have dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, care, and love while you’re gone.

We have a big, strong German Shepherd. We needed someone who could handle him and who he was comfortable around. At our initial meet and greet we knew Jonathan was that person! Moose took to him right away and Jonathan was able to get Moose to calm down and listen to him. Jonathan came today for three walks. He had no trouble getting Moose in and out of his crate, feeding him, walking and playing with him. When we got home this afternoon Moose was calm…and tired! Jonathan sent updates and photos during all three visits and it was easy to see how well they were getting along. Moose can be reactive to cars, dogs, etc. on his walks and Jonathan let me know about Moose’s behavior and handled him without trouble. I highly recommend Jonathan!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Bay Head

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bay Head on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,599 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bay Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bay Head stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bay Head. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.

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.
