About: Hi! I’m Carol and I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. My love for animals led me to earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Animal Medicine and I am a licensed veterinary nurse (CVTg). I worked 13 years in general practice, surgery, orthopedics, internal medicine, cardiology and emergency. From puppies to seniors, nervous/anxious or special needs - I welcome all dogs. While we all want our pups to be healthy forever, my background offers the unique ability to provide expert elevated care and guidance if needed. With me, you’re not just getting a dog walker, you’re getting a lifetime of professional training, knowledge and elite skill set. My schedule is flexible for weekdays and weekends and I can often accommodate same day requests. Trained in administering oral, injectable, topical medications, I can coordinate schedules should your pet need medication at a specific time(s). Just let me know what’s needed and we can make it happen! Having worked wildlife, zoo animal, marine animal, farm animal, equine and small animal medicine - I’ve seen all sides of animal behavior. What matters most, to not only the animal but to the owner as well, is always trust. I will always take my time to understand your pets personality and routine. Consistency and patience is key. I’m not their trainer or behaviorist (though I do have training in both) - I’m there to be a friend and caregiver. That doesn’t mean I can’t handle the anxious or unruly furry friends - I love a skeptic and the advanced behavioral training and handling I have under my belt makes me particularly suited for the spicier personalities.
“I couldn’t be happier with Keith as Desmond’s dog walker. He’s always on time, super reliable, and makes scheduling walks so easy. We always get photo updates during every walk — giving us peace of mind that Desmond is in great hands. More than anything, Desmond loves him! Tail wagging, and pure excitement every time Keith comes to the door. It’s clear Keith genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and it’s not just a job for him. Highly recommend Keith to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive walker”
“Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!”
About: I have 5 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 in New York city and 3 in Jersey Shore area. I have cared for mostly cats and dogs but I I’ve had various types of pets my whole life. I enjoy doing yoga, running, dancing, reading and trying new things. I love nature and I can give your pets lots of outside playtime. From young to old, I will treat your doggie as my own! I can’t wait to care for and have fun with your furry friends! If you have any questions feel free to contact me. I'm currently enrolled in online school and work remotely so I'm at home all day to tend to your pet's needs! On weekends I love to have prolonged play time and go for outdoors runs/walks—I would love for your pet to join! I love to be outdoors so I'd be glad to play with pets in the yard or take them on long walks. I also enjoy play time and cuddle time indoors!
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter! She was super communacative and reliable in her check-ins which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious she’s a true animal lover and was very sweet with my dog, she did an excellent job- I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊”
“This app does not do justice with tipping because Erin is just downright amazing. Thank you for taking care of my little man and his home so well and sending me the best photos of him.”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to stay and check in on, feed, and play with their pets. I have 2 pets of my own - a miniature poodle and half-tabby, half-Maine Coon cat -and they're my entire world. Your pets deserve to to feel just as loved! I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away, treating them with the same care I give my own. I'm comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy and more laid-back companions! I'm currently not working, so I'm fully available anytime - mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my flexible schedule, and I'll always make plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or daily walks, I'm ready when you are! I have pets of my own, so I truly understand how important it is that your fur baby feels safe and loved. Your pet will be treated like one of my own - with care, structure, and lots of affection in a calm, pet friendly home.
“I left on vacation for a week and April took amazing care of my dog, Rocky. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a Rocky happy and well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Brian was awesome with our puppy! He brought him for a nice, long walk at the park. Archer had tons of fun and was ready for a nap afterwards! He cant wait for their next walk together! 🐾”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for wonderful families in my community. I recently joined Rover to connect with more pet parents and expand my pet care services. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so if I board your pet, I’ll be home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home so if I'm boarding your pet I will be with them all day giving them lots of walks and attention throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise through walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m able to be with them throughout the day, provide timely meals, potty breaks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.
“Madison was great! She is super friendly and patient with my puppy Honey. Honey loved her and cried for her by the door when she left. If you’re looking for care for your pets she is your go to. I will definitely be using her again!!”
About: Hello, my name is Heather and I love animals. I have extensive experience as a dog walker and dog and cat sitter. I have taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Neapolitan Mastiffs. While I usually watch one or two pets in a household, a former client of mine had 5 dogs who were different breeds, 3 rabbits, and 2 cats. I have my own cat named Shadow and have been a cat owner for most of my life. I became a vegetarian because I love animals. If you entrust me to watch over your pets in your home, I will treat them like my own. I am caring, gentle, reliable, and hardworking. If I am taking care of your pets, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, and whatever else you may need. Whenever I see a dog or a cat, I pet him or her. When I visit one of my former clients, he remembers me and wags his tail in happiness. :) Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! Why I love dog sitting I love taking care of dogs because they are so sweet and each one has a different personality. :) I am available for walks and overnight stays. I am also a nanny for children. I prefer non-agressive dogs who are good on the leash or have a backyard. While I can't care for dogs at my home, if I stay at the client's house, I usually sleep wherever the client chooses, and cater to the dog's needs.
About: I've had pets since I was 3 yrs old starting with cats. I've had ferrets, birds, hamsters and 3 dogs. 1 dog was a champion show dog the two others were terriers. I had my own pet care services company called "Pets At Home" before I had my kids over 30 years ago. Took great care of cats and dogs. I did housebreak training as well for some clients with their puppies. I am a real estate agent without a set office space, who works from home all week. I am home alone 90% of the time Monday thru Friday. I am home all day so they will be with me and my company all day. I can go to your home and walk and play with your dog at your home as well. I can have dogs stay with me overnight as well. small to medium sized.

We are so happy we found Kathy and John. We were staying in Ocean Grove for the week with our dog, Harley, and needed a last minute dog walker. Away from home, we turned to Rover and saw all of their positive reviews. We couldn’t agree more. They were flexible and communicative. We loved seeing the pictures of Harley and were relieved she was being well taken of while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ocean Grove on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ocean Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ocean Grove.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocean Grove. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
