About: I am currently a student working towards a degree in the veterinary medicine field. I love working with all differently types of animals, but I especially love being around dogs. I lived with dogs my entire life and have experience handling service dogs through a nonprofit organization that places dogs with children in need. I have many other experiences in animal care and training and I am also certified in pet CPR. My extensive knowledge in things like animal behavior, nutrition, and physiology are useful skills when it comes caring for our furry best friends. I also feel comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and special need medical pets such as blind, deaf, and diabetic pups. I am very excited to meet different and new pets! I am currently a student that attends classes during the weekdays but I have a flexible schedule that would allow me to make sure your pet is not left alone for long stretches of time. I currently do not own any pets of my own. I live in a pet friendly community and would love the opportunity to care for your pets.
About: I've taken care and spent time with animals since I was young. I have one gorgeous husky of my own and have watched over my family/friends' dogs and cats many times. With years of hands on experience, I'm confident in caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities! No matter the task, I always have an attentive and loving approach to make your pet feel their best. I am currently a second-year Rutgers student who is home for the summer, which gives me more than enough time to care for my pup and your cute pets as well! At my home, I have a deck and patio that my husky loves to hang out on. At the moment, I do not offer overnight boardings, however I do offer drop in visits, walks, and sittings. I can come to your house and walk, feed, and play with your pups (and/or kitties)!
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth is a great Pet walker and sitter. She has walked Toby every day for the past week, she is always on time to pick him up and he is always ready and happy to see her. After his walk he goes peacefully to sleep for a few hours so he is definitely getting exercise during the walk. She is flexible with the schedule and is open to changes. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I love animals so much. I currently only have one dog who i take care of but i also walk my neighbors dogs who cant. Everyday i wake up and immediately take my dog out and prepare her breakfast. After we have some play time and i take her on at least 3 walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard so i will be able to give them time to play in the backyard and also take them on multiple walks throughout the day! I also have a dog that loves to play!
“Stephanie is very responsive and takes great care of my pup. She not only walks him but will stay for a bit to make sure he is okay before leaving. My dog loves when she takes him out.”
About: I've had experiences with different type of animals and it's been super fun! From having a pet cat, rescuing a wild bird from a national park and help nurturing it back to health, to working with puppies and dogs at a doggy daycare and owning a pet bunny. I'm available Monday-Friday, with flexibility on weekends if we plan and coordinate :) Pls feel free to contact me for more information regarding weekend bookings! In my spacious apartment, your pet would be able to roam freely and comfortably. Being there as an emotional support, I will make sure your pet can stay happy and feel safe inside my home, as well as sending occasional check-ins with the parent :)
About: I’ve had multiple animals growing up, I’ve always been the friend/ family member that was asked to care for pets. I’m very patient and adapt very well to different routines and conditions. I only work three days out of the week so i’m pretty available for your needs! I have a dog of my own and he’s always had time to be walked and fed on time! My dog is a quiet shy guy, he free roams in the house is walked regularly and fed on time, I’ve mostly done check ins at the clients home, never had any issue following their routine with feeding or walking.
“Debra is fantastic. Our little guy is new to the family so she had to deal with us acclimating to him at the same time she did. She keeps me updated on his progress and how her visits go. We're happy to have someone checking on him who treats him like their own!”
“Kim is amazing! So sweet and attentive to our dog, and very communicative and understanding! Highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for great care and attention for their animals.”
About: Have always been an animal lover! I now have the time and opportunity to care for other pets. Have summers off from teaching and would love the extra income. My home is very pet friendly. My chihuahua Zoey is sassy but tolerant. She has co-habitated with 2 Labs, a super frisky Pit-Bull and more than one “class pet hamsters”. I personally have a classic case of “empty nest syndrome” since my 3 daughters have moved out, and really look forward to caring for other people’s pets. I wish I had this service years ago when I was going down the shore with my small children. We would usually board our dog which was not always a pleasant experience. I would have loved Rover for its petsonalized care!
“Tessa I appreciate you so much & so does monkey. I hope this is a start of a new and ongoing relationship. I definitely recommend you and want to book you for the future. We have found our perfect person. Thank you Tessa, see you soon dear.”
“I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕”
About: I have my own dog and have been caring for her since she was eight weeks old. She is now eight years old. So I know the ins and outs of dogs. They all have different personalities, routines, temperaments, you name it. I've watched other people's dogs, and the dogs love me because of my calm demeanor. I deliver the greatest quality of care! I am currently working full-time during the week, but I am available in the afternoons and on weekends to watch your pup. Please let me know! I go by my clients' needs for their dogs; if they need to be fed, walked, or even if they want me to spend a couple of hours with them, I will!
“I am so glad we found Vivian! She is an excellent dog walker for our golden retriever. She is reliable, sends pictures, spends plenty of time with him ensuring he gets his energy out on days we are out of the house and such a pleasure to work with!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family, so you can expect plenty of love, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, which allows me to provide early morning potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins without rushing. Since I’m not currently working outside the home, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple visits, long walks, playtime, medication, or simply companionship, I’m available to give them the love, care, and consistency they deserve while you’re away. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have a friendly, spayed female dog who gets along well with other dogs, and your pet will have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and companionship if they’re comfortable with other animals. My apartment community also has a large grassy area that’s perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding schedule, provide fresh water, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a safe, clean environment to help them feel comfortable and at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun, and loving as possible while you’re away.
About: I worked at Hi Crest Kennels in Edison NJ, where I managed care for both the owners’ 15+ rough collies (ranging from puppies to elderly) as well as clients’ dogs who were boarded there overnight. This included individualized nutrition, exercise, and medical routines for each dog. Friends and family have always trusted me with their animals because they know just how much I value and care for them like they are my own! :) I’m currently living at home until moving back to San Francisco for work. I am very active and enjoy any form of exercise. My current schedule is very free and flexible, aside from going to the gym and spending time with loved ones I am happy to fit your needs in at almost any time! I live <5 minutes from a Oakridge park, where I take my dog Angel for walks daily. It is a very large and green park with lots of trails that can suit any dog’s walking needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avenel
I seriously cannot recommend Paige enough! She is absolutely wonderful with our girl Leia, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands when we’re not home. Paige is so sweet, reliable, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief having someone we can trust to take care of our girl. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby!
We had an excellent experience with Mackinzie walking our dog, Cooper, for 4 days, twice a day. She was punctual every single day, dependable, and took great care of Cooper. We really appreciated how she kept us updated after each walk and shared pictures and all the important information, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was caring, responsible, and clearly treated Cooper with love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable. We would definitely book her again!
Eva is so wonderful!! She is timely, communicative and very flexible. She was easy to coordinate with and book when we were looking for a dog walker while our dog was staying with my parents. We are very thankful to have found Eva for our dog and appreciate how friendly and caring she is!
Veronica and her husband Ryan were amazing, Shadow hit it off with them immediately! I will be using them for boarding in September and they were very accommodating when I said I wanted to do a couple walks with them before boarding to build a relationship with Shadow. I am so happy I found them and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
Gianna is incredible! She is our Anakin’s absolute favorite. He is always so happy when we come home from work. Shes been with us on Anakin’s puppy journey from drop in visits to now walks and she’s great. Always gives updates, sends photos, and is so kind. 10/10 recommend!
Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!

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.
