About: Hi! My name is Chelsea and im 30 years old. I have been fostering animals (with my family) since I was 8 years old and on my own since I was 22. I love all animals and long walks. I’m currently working part time and remote so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I make my own schedule so I am flexible and reliable. Happy to discuss fees for multiple pets to see if we can come to an arrangement we are all happy with :) Also can provide discounts for close distance and repeat clients. Use code CHELSP42284 for $20 off your first service with Rover. I am patient and calm and understand there may be an adjusting period before your pet feels safe with a new handler. With many years of foster experience of both cats and dogs, I know how to familiarize myself with a pet and make them feel the most comfortable. I will always be respectful of your home (if a drop in) and clean up after any messes. I will be respectful of your time and wishes for walks.

Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our dog this past week. She came twice a day, let him out, took him for a walk, cuddled, and played with him. Looking forward to continuing to have her come visit while we are at work!

About: Welcome to Bayville Paws Vacation Club 🐾 Your dog deserves more than a kennel; they deserve a vacation! At Bayville Paws Vacation Club, we provide loving, home-based care where every guest becomes part of our family. We intentionally accept a limited number of dogs, so each one receives personalized attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of love in a safe, comfortable environment. As lifelong animal lovers, our family has experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, ducks, chickens, and other small animals.

During each visit I can: • Feed and refresh water • Walk or play with your pet • Administer medications • Bring in mail and packages • Water plants • Bring garbage cans in or out • Clean up accidents or litter boxes • Give your pet plenty of attention and affection If there's anything else you'd like done while you're away, just ask!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can't imagine life without them. I've owned both large and medium-sized dogs over the years, so I'm very comfortable handling and walking big pups with confidence. Whether your dog loves a long adventure, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or just wants some extra love and attention, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I recently worked as an adoption and foster counselor at an animal shelter in St. Louis, where I had the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable handling dogs who are dog-reactive, dog-aggressive, leash biters, or shy and fearful, and I know that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. My own two dogs are my whole world, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else's care. I'll treat your pup like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, and lots of tail wags along the way! 🏆 Certified in Fear Free Training 🏆 I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether they love extra walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! At this time, I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I'm happy to help with everything they need, including walks, feeding, fresh water, brushing, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your furry family member!

About: I have had many pets since a young child and also helped my mom rehabilitate injured or newborn animals. My family has relied on me for pet sitting and dog walking. I trained my dog Darla from when she was a puppy and have always had a strong love for animals. She has since passed and have 2 dogs named Willow and Pixie. I also have 6 chickens in a chicken coop in my yard. I am currently available full time from Monday through Friday and am open to sitting on some weekends. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I do have a fenced yard and have a dog door that can be locked if needed. Also I have 2 dogs and one cat in the house.

IMolly was great. Very communicative and conscientious. I left her instructions and she followed them perfectly. I was very nervous to leave my senior dog with anyone but Molly was great. She rcommunicated after each walk and took some cute pictures as well. I was able to have fun on my day trip knowing that Molly was there to take care of my dog. I would definitely use her again.

About: I have been taking care of all types of animals, including training dogs since I was little. I have always seen myself working with animals and it has been a true joy! I previously worked at a pet boarding and doggy daycare facility for a of couple years, gaining even more experience before I started my own dog walking and pet sitting business, called Furry Care that has been very successful and running for several years now. I have experience with a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, hedgehogs and more. Any opportunity I have to care for more furry friends, I gladly take! I currently am booking drop in visits for dogs 3X a day for pet sitting and regular dog walking. I also offer overnight services at your own home for pet sitting and drop in visits for cats and other furry friends. All pets are taken care of in your own home with updates and pictures of your fur baby. Doors are locked back up after services and key location/code are strictly kept confidential.

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. 🙂

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 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 .

As of August 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:

  • 90% 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.
