“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: I’ve worked with shelters taken care of up to a total 23 cats at a single time! Up to 15 dogs at a time As well! The love of my life are cats and dogs, so I know I would treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own! I have no limits in my schedule at the moment, so I can be available any day anytime to help take care of your furbabies! I always treat animals with the same dignity and respect that humans deserve. Fenced in yards are great for letting them let lose, but walks are also great for both parties to have a different view and experience. Feeding/Play time are both essential bonding time, as they build my trust, so I always make time to play and roll around with them at their level.
About: I am a huge animal lover, and have grown up with multiple pets in the house at all times. I love taking my dogs on walks, to different parks and to the beach. I have a lot of passion and love for teaching dogs and learning more about different breeds and dog personalities. I also have an abundance of patience and am incredibly down-to-earth. I love exploring new paths and trails, and I'd really love to take different dogs on these adventures as well, as mine are getting a bit old for all that. All wanderlust aside, I also love being with dogs that love to sit back, relax and have a good time. Additionally, I am no stranger to comforting dogs who get nervous during storms or fireworks, and I also am very experienced in helping dogs feel better about their separation anxiety. I understand that leaving your dogs in someone else's hands is a hard decision, and I'm here to try to make that decision a bit easier for you!

I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pet!! I love to go on walks, runs, or take your pup to the beach! I love to be active so any activity that permits dogs I WILL be taking them !!! If I am laying around my house, my dogs are on my lap and we’re hanging out together.

I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My house has always been a 2+ doggy house, and always rescues. That being said, I am no stranger to high energy mix breeds. I've experienced everything from resource guarding to pulling on a leash. I've cared for younger, jumpier friends to our senior friends. I am well versed working with dogs with special diets. One of my babies has severe allergies and has to stick to specific foods. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a good amount of time during the day to help out.

If they need to be walked, I like to take them on long walks so they get good exercise and enrichment.

About: I love animals I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Making sure every animal is loved is very important to me. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through planned, consistent time set aside for each pet’s needs. On a daily basis, I schedule time for feeding, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and giving attention, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. On a weekly basis, I incorporate deeper cleaning of pet areas, restocking supplies, grooming as needed, and reviewing any special instructions from pet owners. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure pet care responsibilities are met reliably without interfering with other commitments. Pet care in my home and/or a client’s home is provided based on the specific service requested and the individual needs of each pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise, and routines. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their normal daily routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and offering companionship, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and calm environment with appropriate supervision, regular feeding, exercise, and rest. I prioritize the pet’s safety, health, and emotional well-being at all times and communicate with owners as needed to provide updates or address concerns.

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 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Toms River after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
