“Super nice. Came when she said she would. Met all requests. Updated me with a message and photo for each visit. I’d definitely use her again! Also Clark my pup, warmed up to her immediately, which was a special bonus!”
“Hannah is very reliable and our fur baby loves going on walks with her. She always keeps us posted and sends pictures for every walk. Would definitely recommend her”
“Jaylene came the day after our meet and greet to walk our dog Remi! She was easy to communicate with to make plans and schedule. Jaylene took her time to win over Remi, who can be a little shy and skeptical upon meeting someone new. They went for a walk and Jaylene updated me with everything Remi did. Remi and I look forward to our next booking with Jaylene!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience in pet sitting for friends and family. My husband and I have a super friendly and playful Labrador Retriever who we absolutely adore! Together, we love playing, cuddling and training/exercising her every day. We love going to the dog park and take walks to a nearby lake. We also like making new pet buddies. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. I work from home and will be with your per throughout the care period. My house is spacious with a huge fenced backyard, so you can be assured that your loved pet will have plenty of space to run and play around. I am aspiring to get certified as a dog trainer and learn as much as I can :) I will be happy to watch after your babies while you are away! Rest assured that I will communicate their well being regularly and share pictures. I work from home and am available for Day care on weekdays. Day care is 8 hrs stay, and extended hours will be charged $8/hr. I am also available for boarding during the weekdays and weekends. Pets will be taken care of as per specified instructions. Your pet will play in the fenced yard. Pictures will be shared throughout their stay with me.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience and genuine love for animals. I owned a dog for 12 years, have had two cats for 5 years, and have fostered multiple cats with various behavioral challenges. I've also cared for my family's dogs and cats throughout the years. This hands-on experience has made me adaptable to different pet personalities and needs, from training puppies to caring for senior pets. I treat every animal with the same love and dedication I give to my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve built my schedule around feeding, playtime, grooming, and exercise to ensure each pet gets the attention they need. Years of experience with my own and my family's pets have made caring for animals a seamless and fulfilling part of my life. In both my home and clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each animal's needs: regular exercise, feeding and medication, playtime and enrichment, cuddles and affection, safety and security, and personalized attention. I ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care, prioritizing the well-being and comfort of pets in any setting.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since my early 20s. I began fostering dogs in my early 30s and even had some foster failures. I have always been that friend, neighbor, stranger that will stop and help and animal in need or just stop the world to say hi to a four legged love ! I have full open availability! I am a teacher and am home during the summer so I can meet most needs. I am also willing to travel to help a pup in need. I prefer to board at home and I have two small pups at home, Eli and Gidget. Eli is a 12 year old Havanese and Gidget is a 2 year old Brug. They are sweet and get along with all animals and people.
“Sarah is incredibly responsive and always sends pictures of my pup when she walks her. She understands that my dog Karma is a part of my family and makes sure I’m at ease when I leave her home.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was around 15 years old. I love taking dogs on walks/playing with them and I especially love entertaining cats and cuddling with them! I work seasonally at a golf course so this upcoming winter I will have full availability. I look forward to meeting your furry loved ones!! I like to write everything down that needs to be done for your animal, especially noting things that are very important to you and I love nothing more then spending time with any type of pet!
“Rachel is been nice and accommodating all the time! She also pays attention with our instructions for our beloved dog. Good communication with her as well. We are very thankful for her. Will recommend and still use her in the future!”
“Jodi was extremely responsive and communicative. She went the extra mile and sent a ton of photographs, checked on medical issues and whether there was food/water in her bowl. Highly recommend and will ask her to walk Reigh again!”
About: I work for the Seeing Eye as a Dog Handler, as well as have work as a lodging worker at Morris Animal Inn. From these I learned how to work with a number of different dogs all with different personalities! My goal is to be able to provide the care that best supports each pet individually. I work a full time job Friday-Tuesday from 6:30am to 3:30am. I have an hour lunch break starting at 12. I am able to work around my work schedule to ensure your pet is getting plenty of attention. I am comfortable with outdoor or indoor play and walks. Keeping pets safe is my priority to ensure they have the best time! I’ve had experience with dogs who pull and don’t.
About: Dogs are my life. I’ve grown up around dogs! I got my first dog when I was 10 years old, I taught her everything she knows and she was my best friend! I’ve been dog sitting for families for a few years now. I can’t wait to meet and get to know your dog!
About: Dog life is the best life! 🐾 I live on a farm with three lovable Golden Retrievers, and it’s really their house just as much as it is mine (they even take up most of the bed at night!). We’ve got plenty of space to run, play, and swim — because nothing makes a dog happier than splashing around! Here, every pup is treated like family, with endless love, fun, and adventures. I work from home so I am with the dogs all the time unless I have to run out for an errand, they are never alone for more than an hour I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for the dogs to run around! We go on daily walks & swims, weather permitting!
About: I've had pets pretty much my entire life! Growing up, we always had animals, mostly cats, but I've also had two dogs over the years. I currently have two cats of my own, so I'm very familiar with their different personalities and occasional attitudes! I've also helped a friend care for her dog when she broke her foot, including taking the dog out for potty breaks and handling trips to and from the groomer. I'm comfortable around both dogs and cats, dependable, and punctual. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, whether that's walks, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know them! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekday and weekend care. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine, whether that's daily walks, feeding, potty breaks, or just some extra company while you're away. I may also be available for overnight stays with advance notice. I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away! I know how important their usual routines are, so I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else they need. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, use a leash for walks, and pay attention to your pet's behavior and comfort level. I also respect your home and will leave things just as I found them. I'm happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are doing well!
“Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Erika was amazing!! This was my first time using the Rover App and I was so lucky to find Erika my first try! Erika was communicative, reliable, energetic and very sweet!! When I arrived to drop off my dog, Erika greeted us with arms full of sticks and toys ready to play with my dog (I told her sticks were my dogs favorite) it was so cute!! My dog can be very nervous and anxious, but Erika was very patient and understanding. She was able to handle my dog confidently and she sent photos and updates throughout their walk to reassure me that my dog was doing well. I would absolutely recommend Erika to anyone looking for someone who truly loves dogs and will treat your pet like their own!”
“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

Jaylene was always punctual, and so attentive to my pup. She always let me know exactly what time she would be heading over, and if the dog pooped/peed/took treats. Bonus! I have two cats that were not a part of the booking, but she was excited to see and pet them, and even gave them some treats, and sent me extra pictures! Jaylene is fatlntastic, and provided just what my pup needed!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Budd Lake is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $42 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,634 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Budd Lake. 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 Budd Lake. 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 Budd Lake after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Budd Lake. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
