“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Hoochoo! It was clear that you genuinely cared for him, and I really appreciated the updates and photos during the walk. Hoochoo came back happy and well cared for, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Thank you again! 🙂”
About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.
About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!
About: Hello everyone! My name is Zahira. I have experience with new and repeat clients on Rover. I love my time with each pet, and adore them so much. I’ve grown relationships with repeat clients that I grew to truly enjoy. Outside of Rover, I have lots of experience with animals through my personal life. I've had a cat growing up..and I still have my dog, Sport, who's now 15. My friends reach out to me for pet care before exploring other options, so l've had experience pet sitting outside of Rover on multiple occasions. I was an aspiring veterinarian before graduating with my Management Information Systems degree...animals have always held a special place in my heart. I look forward to spending more time with animals through Rover. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions :) I’m currently focused on building my business as a florist and pet sitting. My schedule is completely up to me, which gives me as much flexibility as I would like with pet sitting! My neighborhood is very walkable, which allows for nice walks. We also have huge grassed areas, I usually run around with my dog in these spaces to release some of his energy.
“Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because he’s DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sends—they always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!”
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
“Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!”
“Extremely friendly, punctual and followed all the instructions thoroughly. We felt very comfortable having Christian stay and walk Zorro. Definitely went, above and beyond. Will definitely repeat him.”
About: I've loved taking care of dogs of all kinds of my own and friends and family from a young age! Currently I have a two at home and know how much of a part of the family they are. My goal is to meet your needs for your pups and keep them comfortable when you need to be away from home! I am currently a student and only working part time so have plenty of time in the mornings and late afternoon/evening to care for and check in on your pets! I am very open and flexible to you and your pets needs! Comfortable with crating your pup if needed or bringing them out for walks. My goal is to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable based on your routine!
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: I've taken care of my own dog since I was 8, I have started working at a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility for over a year now. I have experience providing medication, potty breaks, treats, feeding and other tasks. I have also done at home daycare as well as overnight boarding at dogs homes. I have been around dogs of all behaviors and ages. I'm currently working part-time for other dog families. But I would happy to squeeze your pup in my schedule! I'm available most weekends. I have a fenced yard and my dog sleeps in my bed and is allowed on furniture. However if your dog sleeps in a crate or is not allowed on furniture I can accommodate!
About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.
About: My name is Rashad I am a 32 year old who has always had a strong love for pets. I am local to the Blackwood area but I will travel to care for your animals personally. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a Weimaraner named Bella, pitbull terrier mix named Jay and a toy sized Yorkshire terrier named Chloe. Unfortunately I am no longer a pet owner but I still I hope to be able to watch over some other furry companions to fill the void that has been made by their absence. I have experience as a manager at Petco so not only do I know how to care for dogs, I am well versed in the basic needs for most reptiles, birds, cats, and other small animals.I have no problem accepting pets that are not spayed or neutered for some reason rover won’t let me change that setting on my profile, so please disregard. I hope to share my affinity for pets with other pet parents while they allow me to host their fur children and look forward to yet again feeling the comfort of a four legged friend in my home. I work a rotating schedule with 12 hour shifts at a healthcare facility. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date but I am flexible so I do encourage you to reach out to me directly with an inquiries about dates and times I am available. I’m typically available early mornings and in the evening on the days I’m working but on my off days I am ready to be an all day companion for your furry friend! I have many years experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and breed. I know how important it is to provide a safe and friendly environment to our four legged friends. I always try and approach any arrangement with both the owners and pets best interest in mind. I look forward to crafting a safe and trustworthy environment for your furever friends.
“John was great! He took wonderful care of our pup, who immediately bonded with him. We also appreciated John’s communication and updates. We’d recommend John, and will be booking with him again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and my ability to tailor care to each dog’s needs. I’m patient with puppies, helping reinforce routines like potty training and leash skills, and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I keep dogs on their usual schedule, prioritize safety, and make sure they feel calm, secure, and loved while in my care. As a college student with a part-time job, I have a flexible schedule with days off dedicated to pet care, along with daily experience caring for my own dogs. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s pace and energy level, ensuring exercise, bathroom breaks, and comfort during every visit.
About: I’m a huge animal lover! I have over four years of solid experience taking care of my own two cats, Sushi and Miso. I know firsthand what it takes to keep pets happy, from setting up a comfy spot for a nap to handling feeding schedules and making sure the litter box is spotless. While my background is strongly in cat sitting, I bring patience, calm demeanor, and loving attention to any pet I care for. If your pet needs a chill, responsible, and detail-oriented sitter, I'm your person! As a full-time NYU student and part-time tutor, I am highly organized and responsible. During the upcoming semester, I offer flexible morning, evening, and weekend availability.I ready to dedicate all my time to your pet!

I strictly adhere to all feeding, medication, and playtime instructions you provide. You can expect regular updates and photos—I treat your home and your pet with the same care and attention I give to my own cats, Sushi and Miso.
About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00
About: Hi. I grew up with dogs and cats and have had cats in my home for the past 20+ years. I have had more than one cat that has required daily medication over an extended period of time so I am comfortable giving meds. I have experience dog and cat-sitting for friends, family and coworkers. I know how difficult it is to go away and leave your furry family members home alone. I work from home now so I can work around your schedule and your pets schedule and give you that peace of mind you need while away. I will do more than just feed your pets. I am happy to walk your dog, brush your pets, get on the floor and play with your pets and I will clean up after them whenever necessary. I am an animal lover and would be honored to care for your furry family.

Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because he’s DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sends—they always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!
Briana has been an absolute lifesaver! I booked her on very short notice when a work trip came up unexpectedly, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog, Phoebe, is quite shy and reactive, which can be challenging for anyone new, but Briana handled her with so much patience, care, and understanding. Knowing Phoebe was in such capable and reliable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be using Briana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!
We’ve had such wonderful experiences with Stacey! Our dog has stayed overnight with her in the past, and she’s also come by to take her for a walk and feed. Stacey always gives the best updates, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it’s clear how much she truly cares. She takes amazing care of our baby every single time. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely — highly recommend! 🐾✨
Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!
Melissa is such a caring and responsible dogwalker! She really takes the time to care for our dog, Kyrie, and you can tell because our dog immediately took to her. Melissa’s also a great communicator and has been proactive about letting me know if there’s any issues or any schedule changes. I highly recommend Melissa :)

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 Blackwood. 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 Blackwood.

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 Blackwood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
