About: I love having a job where I get to make new animal friends! I would love to show your animal(s) that fun and safety can be assured even when their humans are away. I have spent my whole life around animals of varying species. I love to get to know each personality of every animal. The safety of every animal is my top priority at all times. That does not limit the amount of friendship, socialization and care I can provide for your animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, birds and fish. In the last few years I've broadened my experience of different dog breeds, sizes and personalities as a volunteer transport driver helping those animals that need a ride toward a better life. I have also volunteered at an emergency animal shelter, providing scared and confused dogs and other animals a caring voice and soft touch to help gain their self-assurance. I am insured through the Pet Sitters Association. I am currently working remotely Monday and Friday. In the office Tuesday-Thursday 8am-430pm. Since I would be in your home, I would ask about routines at the meet and greet. I will take notes but you can leave instructions, if you wish. I do work in the office Tuesday- Thursday in Toms River 8am-430pm. Outside of those times I can be in your home with your babies. I would follow the routines your pet is already used to for their safety and comfort. I provide daily updates with pictures to let you know they are happy and safe.

I’m so grateful for Christina. Eli is very comfortable with her and that makes me happy. I’m able again to be away from home longer than a few hours. Christina sent me pictures and updates, she’s trustworthy and experienced with reactive dogs like mine. Very thankful. 😌

About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 13-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 5-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

About: I have had dogs all my life and absolutely have a soft spot for senior dogs. Currently I have 2 dogs. A Senior Golden Retriever named Skye and a 9 month old Hound-Lab mix named Sonny. Since Sonny is a puppy he pulls on a leash and jumps, I have experience with dogs that have these characteristics. The Dog breeds that I have the most experience with are French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers. I prefer to work with medium/small dog breeds, however, I am open to working with bigger dog breeds as well. I am a full-time student at East Carolina University in North Carolina studying elementary education. I am residing in New Jersey from May 9th- August 10th My schedule varies throughout the week. However my schedule is flexible and I am able to work with you on times and schedules that fits you and your pets needs. I am used to crated dogs and non- crated dogs. I am very experienced in following directions and rules as needed. I also am used to walking dogs every morning and evening if needed. I do ask that there is a list of all animals and how much they eat, what times they are fed, and any special precautions (medicine, eating in separate rooms, different foods, etc.) that are needed for each pet. Lots of playing and petting is to be expected.

About: I have always owned a dog, my mom used to breed dogs so I always was around them. I have been taking care of animals since I was little but I would say for the last 10-15 years I actually did dog watching and would watch my grandmothers friends dogs at her house and would also drop in as needed. I have 3 dog babies and they are exactly that, big babies. I rescued all 3 from a rescue as puppy’s and my pitty was a runt and now is a big boy! I also have fostered dogs and helped my sister with her fosters. I can help with basic tricks but I’m not a professional and don’t claim to be! I have lived and taken care of some senior dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs from puppies to senior. I am also comfortable giving meds if needed, I haven’t had to give a dog an injection but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach! I currently work fulltime as a unit secretary at the hospital, I can leave during my break for an hour. I work 7am-330pm and I am free most evenings after work. I also work every 3rd weekend so I am available on my off weekends. But the weekend I work I am not available because I work 7a-7p. If your pup needs some extra time to get used to people I am more then happy to come over before you book and meet them to make sure I can help make you and them as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable walking 2 big dogs at a time and 3-4 smalls dogs at a time. I don’t mind updating you as much as you need as they are your babies just as mine are to me. I put Shrek and Harry Potter on for my boys so they don’t get lonely during the day. I also make sure anything they can get into that might hurt them is away, and I make sure they have their collars on as well as double checking doors are locked. I am very accommodating so it never hurts to ask questions to see if it’s something I can help you feel more comfortable!

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

About: A great pet sitter is like a second best friend to your furry family member. I want to radiate warmth and patience, understanding each tail wag. I’m not just there to feed and walk your dog, i’m there to bond, to give belly rubs, and to ensure your pup feels loved and secure while you're away. It's the peace of mind every dog lover seeks when entrusting their beloved companion to someone else's care. I’m currently working part time and going to school. Although I still have lots of time to spend with my pomsky at home! I feel like it's a mix of feeding, playing, walking, and lots of cuddling going on at my home. My pomsky can be very demanding at times but I do everything I can to make him the happiest he can be! First off I’ll treat any dog with lots of love and care , whether it’s my own furry friend or someone else’s. What I do to be a good pet owner is to care for my furry friend by providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and lots of love and attention. I always make sure all pets have a safe and comfortable living environment, with access to fresh water and a cozy place to sleep. I’ll also prioritize regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations to keep my personal pets healthy. Additionally, as a pet owner i’ll engage in mental stimulation activities, such as interactive toys or training sessions, to keep my pets mentally sharp and happy. Ultimately, it's all about creating a loving and nurturing environment where all pets can thrive! 🐾❤️

Joseph was amazing with my sweet pitbull. He was even available to work during the Holiday. My pup has only been apart from me once so of course I was concerned. Joesph was very patient and understanding of the situation. It didn’t take much for them to bond. Everything worked out perfect. Joseph was very timely, informative and attentive to my pups needs. I think he’s actually looking for him now. 🙂

I’ve never really written a review, but I do want to say Tara saved my soul and my heart when being on vacation and my overnight girl didn’t work out as well. She saved the day by jumping in and she went above and beyond taking care of my sisters and my baby girl ❤️❤️🙏 The girls were so happy and content when we got home, she fed them, took care of things that went on out of the blue and she was just amazing. I can’t thank Tara enough. I hope she’s there if I need her again it was just amazing how good she was with the girls and how she took on The whole rest of the week and giving extra care and leaving her family to take care of my girls. we need more humans like her to take care of our babies. Amazing !!!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - South Toms River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Toms River on Rover is $17.76 per walk (as of June 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 .

As of June 2026, there are 2,177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Toms River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 South Toms River. 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 South Toms River.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 South Toms River. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
