“Jackie was awesome!! She met with us ahead of time and made sure she knew where everything was to ensure a smooth transition the day of the walk. She is so kind and friendly in addition to being so wonderful with our dog! He was fed, walked, and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Jackie!”
“Elizabeth is a fantastic dog walker! She is very communicative and provides lot of pictures and a full report of her time with my dogs. I trust her with my pups and will continue to use her 🥰”
About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.
“Kelsey is absolutely awesome! She was punctual for my dog’s routine and took him to different places to walk each time which I know he appreciated. He is always a happy and tired pup when I come home from work!”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule. I am available Monday through Friday at any time. I can definitely do mid day drop ins! I am available on weekends as well! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!
“Vanessa and her partner were very sweet, caring and diligent when caring for my dog Finn. They took him on long walks and provided lots of photos and summaries of their time together. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!!”
“I have a 3 year old golden retriever, and I am so grateful that I found George to walk her. I can tell he cares a lot about animals. George is knowledgeable about animal care as well. I know my dog is under best care when I am at work. I highly recommend George.”
About: Am always the go-to sitter for my friends and family members whenever they’re traveling! You can count on me to keep your pet feeling loved and safe while you’re out of town! Starting Sept 4, I will only be available to take at night requests for walks (430 or later) and/or occasionally on weekends. I will do my best to accommodate. I am a great choice for a pop-in visit, but not for long-term care, due to working full time as a teacher. 👩🏼🏫 Thanks! I currently work part time in retail but my hours are flexible. The more notice in advance, the better! Send me a request and we will find something that fits! My kitty is indoor only and has her own area, but roams freely. I can crate dogs or allow them their space, whichever style of living is preferred by you!
“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”
About: I’ve had pets for 50 years and have cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets. I’ve cared for my own dog through her senior years. I’m a retired teacher and mom, so I now have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and love having animals around. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible. I’ve had pets and dogs my entire life and have cared for my own dog through her senior years. I’ll treat every pet in my care like one of my own.
“Our experience with Brittany was stellar! She comes prepared and is incredibly kind~ she became quick friends with our nervous doggo in no time! Would absolutely recommend, will absolutely be booking again!”
“Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.”
About: I grew up with a Rottweiler and a Pitbull and currently have a Labradoodle who I have trained. I am able to train basic commands and walking skills. I have been pet sitting since early high school for all sorts of pets! I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and play around with your fur babies! Looking to do this full time/daily! I am available from 6am to 10pm. My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate any time of the week. I care for your pets by showing them affection and admiration while still keeping boundaries and rules in place. This means lots of belly rubs, and the right amount of corrective actions when needed.
About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 20 years. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am! I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, small animals, and just about any furry, feathered, or scaled companion you may have. I’ve had animals my entire life and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I’ve completed an animal emergency CPR course and spent 4 years working in an animal shelter, growing within the organization until it was time to focus on being a mom. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about animal care — I’d do just about anything to keep an animal safe and happy (safely, of course!). I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking so everyone feels comfortable and I can learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out even if you just have questions — I’m always happy to chat. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits, walks, and pet care whenever you need it. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care during every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Every pet deserves patience, compassion, love, and individualized attention, and I take pride in providing exactly that. I will always follow your pet’s routine and provide the level of care, attention, exercise, and affection you request, because no one knows your pet better than you do. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home. ❤️
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, from early childhood to the present. Current dog rescuer/owner for the last 6 years (pit mix). Former Childcare Counselor for at-risk youth. Currently doing housekeeping duties and working part-time as a basketball skills trainer. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to get your dog some exercise and fresh air! Responsible dog walker. I grew up here and know the area well. I always look to be cautious and aware of my surroundings. Mine and your pet’s safety is my number one priority.
About: Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years around dogs and other pets, helping friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable working with dogs and any animal of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies that need lots of exercise to older dogs that prefer slower walks and extra care. I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Currently work part time at nights and weekends predominantly so I have morning/daytime availablility during the week while you are at work! Can also do overnights any day of the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always follow each pet’s routine, care instructions, and any special needs provided by the owner to make sure they feel secure and well cared for. I maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Whether it’s during a walk, a drop in visit, or extended care, I always keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and happy at all times. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and any changes in mood or energy so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I also make sure pets have fresh water, proper feeding, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of affection. Communication is very important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and messages to keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both pets and their owners feel completely at ease.
About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal
About: I grew up with a childhood dog (a Yorkie mix) that I got when I was five years old. My dog became an angel last year at the age of fifteen. I unfortunately am not able to get another dog for the time being because I am starting law school in the fall. But, I miss the presence of a dog dearly, which is why I chose to become a sitter. I smile at and care for all animals, and I am excited to meet all of your fur babies! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I understand each pet has different needs, so I always ask for details/notes to make sure I can accommodate properly. Under my care, your pet is treated as if it is my own and has my full attention. While caring for pets, I also make sure to send frequent updates and pictures to keep pet parents in the loop:) I currently have a very free schedule, as I am in the summer before I start law school (I am trying to relax as much as possible before). When I begin my studies at the end of August, I will be available on weekends for boarding requests. I enjoy going on walks at the park and have a very active lifestyle, so I would love to bring your dog along! Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I have a 1.5 acre property with ample space. I will always ask what you are most comfortable with (leash in my backyard or not). I have dog bowls in my home I can use for food and drink. Dogs will always be under supervision in my home.

Madison was absolutely excellent! I caught them running around the backyard and playing together, and it was clear that Jett was having the best time. It’s such a relief to know he is in such active and caring hands. I can’t wait to have her back to walk and play with Jett again—highly recommend!

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 Basking Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
