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)!

About: I've been a dog owner since I was about 10 years old and have cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering oral medications if needed, or simply providing companionship, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. My background as a licensed nurse has taught me to be dependable, attentive to detail, and calm in any situation, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in good hands. I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions before every visit. I treat every home with respect and keep pets secure by following your instructions carefully, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are always used properly. As a licensed nurse, I'm calm under pressure, attentive to details, and comfortable recognizing when something doesn't seem right, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.

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: Hi! I’m Ashley! A loving and dependable pet sitter with almost a year of experience and happy client reviews. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which means I’m fully available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I also have open availability on weekends! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I genuinely enjoy spending my free time outdoors and bonding with animals, so being a dog walker is something I look forward to, not just a side gig When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to help their pet feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to stick to feeding schedules, follow any special instructions, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, or calming care depending on their needs. I respect the space I’m in, keep things tidy, and treat each home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Clear communication and trust are super important to me, so I always keep owners updated and in the loop!

Priscilla was excellent with my very reactive (but sweet) beagle. I get nervous with people walking my dog because I love him so much and he can be A LOT to handle for some, but I could tell right away that Priscilla is nice and patient. She’s a clear animal lover. I just had a newborn so it’s tough to walk both baby and dog at the same time so happy to have her during this season of life to show my dog some love. He came back in a super good mood and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

My husband, Anthony, and I have used Stacy’s services a few different times, both on and off Rover, for long vacations as well as short check-ins/walks. She has been a big help each and every time, making sure our pups were happy while also keeping us informed of how they were doing, which made us very comfortable and happy as well. Just yesterday, we asked her for a last minute booking because one of our family members, who usually watches our boys, suddenly became ill and told us she wouldn’t be able to come by to walk them while my husband and I attended an all-day event. I messaged Stacy right away and she responded very quickly, saying she’d be more than happy to help us out – even with such short notice! I couldn’t ask for a more friendly or professional sitter!! We will definitely be using Stacy’s services again in the near future.

About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Carteret

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Carteret on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 27,854 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carteret. 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 your Carteret. 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 Carteret.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Carteret. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
