“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: Life long dog lover, over 15 years of experience with dogs. I am very experienced with older dogs and have perfected the art of medicine administering. No matter their age, I’ll take extra special care of your baby. Dogs are a very large portion of my day. I am flexible with work so I can tend to all the dogs’ needs throughout the day. My backyard is fully fenced so the dogs can run around and do their business. I’m always out with them to make sure they’re safe.

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: I’ve watched dogs both in my own home as well as pet owners homes for extended periods of time. I treat them with the same care and compassion I would my own dog. I have a hybrid work schedule that allows me to be flexible. If there are days I’m in my office, I will let the owner know. I have a fully fenced back yard, and no other pets currently in my home. Plenty of space inside as well for dog beds etc.
“Petey had a great time with Barbara. He liked her right away at a meet and greet. , 😊. She is experienced , follows instructions, really cares and loves dogs. She is getting to know him and is interested in knowing all about him. 😊 We will definitely book other stays with her.”
About: I’ve been handling dogs since age8, before I even had one of my own. 14 years of experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, not just my own pet. I formally trained my dog through obedience classes and built on that daily, so I understand canine behavior, not just basic commands. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be engaged, exercised, and treated with the same standard I hold for my own. I enjoy exercising, so I love walking and running with dogs, such as playing fetch. I love going to dog parks and having them interact with other dog, and I will be home all summer, so I could do that. I ensure that the pets do not eat any people food and have water at all times and food at appropriate times. Having my home clean and organized is key when caring for pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young! I grew up with dogs and have experience in walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I love all animals but am the biggest dog lover at heart. I’ve had experience in tending to the care of both puppies and elder dogs. I’m a very active person and love doing outdoor activities with dogs that I care for! I work from home 4 days a week and have a flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to dedicate the necessary time to your pet! I have a lot of experience in crating dogs if necessary and making sure their safety is my top priority. Your dog will be in safe and loving hands!
About: Greetings! As a dog owner for most of my life, until recently, I know that ensuring your Pup is well cared for can be the #1 biggest concern of your workday/holiday or any time you’re separated. If you're anything like me then you have undoubtedly spent THOUSANDS on making sure they receive only the best care. My doggy resume: Previous owner of Duke, my cairn terror, who was amazing with people, but terrible with other animals. He had to be leashed at all times and we had to stay clear of other dogs, squirrels and so on. Loved him. I also have experience with an American Pit Bull. She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!
“Linda was amazing with Peanut. She made her feel so at ease and happy that she ate her food, plus her puppy's food. This is unusual for my nervous little girl. She took great care of them while they played and enjoyed their time together.”
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.
“Fiona was excellent with my sweet old lady. She sent pictures and was a great communicator. You can tell she loves dogs and it shows through her quality of care. Thank you Fiona! Would definitely book again.”
“Janell was great! She watched our hyper 2 year-old Bernese Mt. Dog on very short notice. Our dog came back happy, well fed and well exercised. We could tell our dog had a great time from the big smile on her face. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Katie is wonderful! She’s so sweet and updates me with photos and pictures throughout the day! She’s always keeping great communication about drop off and pick up and times to feed.”

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 Manasquan 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.

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.
