“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: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.
About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.
About: I live with and care for two dogs every day, an Olde English Bulldog & a Frenchie, my two lovable shadows. Living with these goofballs means I know brachycephalic breads well, when they've had enough sun, and when the walk needs to slow down. I have experience with senior dogs and IVDD. Feeding, walking, running, cuddling, companionship, I am comfortable well beyond just walks, so home visits and check-ins are right up my alley. I lift weights four times a week, so big, strong, or energetic pups don't faze me. I have been dog walking off Rover for some time in the area, and am now bringing my services to the greater public. I currently have a flexible, open schedule and can accommodate walks (or runs) and visits throughout the day, including short notice requests. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me, and I am happy to build a consistent routine around your pup's needs. When caring for pets in a clients home, I am respectful of both their space and their pet's routine. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable with me, give them plenty of attention and exercise based on their individual needs, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
“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 have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
About: I happened to work as Sales & Social Media Coordinater for a dog training school a few years back, and that experience changed my whole outlook on how we care for our pets! The dog trainers I created content for taught me about positive reinforcement and reward-based methods in the process. Since moving to a different field I’ve used those skills to handle, walk, and petsit every animal from bearded dragons to cats on the side in a way that’s fun for everyone involved. Animals are my happy place & I’d love to share that joy with your family! I work 9AM to 6:15PM most days, so I am the perfect candidate for your morning and evening walks as well as overnight stays! I can do afternoon Drop-Ins for Short Hills/Essex County residents as well. It’s also no problem for me to house-sit and care for your home as gently as your pets! I’m very flexible - please contact me to find a schedule that works for you! I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, but I will always make sure I leave my client’s home as I left it when I visit and care for their beloved one 🐾
“Nicole arrived promptly to give Sophia a walk. Sophia liked her immediately. Nicole was friendly, gave her lots of pets and because it was a rainy day, she wiped her paws when she returned. I will use her again as need be”
“Megan has been a great dog walker for our dog! She is very flexible, communicates well and pays attention to details. I can be very particular about the way my dog is cared for, from wiping him when he comes back inside to wearing his booties so his paws don’t get dirty. Megan followed all my instructions from the get go and I knew my dog was in good hands from the start!”
“Linda does a wonderful job walking our two nervous pups. They are unsure of strangers but she gives them time to warm up to her. I feel very comfortable having her walk them. Recommend!”

“Kennedy did great! She came over a few days earlier to meet Tofi. On the day of the walk she did all we asked her to do, even with Tofi being reluctant to take a long walk, she hanged out with her and made sure she had water and treats.”
“Brilliant! My dog Cola had a great stay over the weekend. Kevin was able to accommodate us last minute and Cola came back home very happy and well cared for. Kevin has a large fenced in yard and played with Cola with his other pups, they had lots of fun together. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: The main thing that sets me apart from other sitter’s is my genuine love and affection for animals & the fact I’m a dog mom helps me understand what other pet parents would need to feel secure and confident when it comes to trusting someone with their pets. In fact, nearly every dog Ive watched Ive gotten close with the owners and family and have been trusted and recommended by many. I would definitely enjoy taking care of your pet as well as loving them and treating them as my own for the time being they stay with me! Hope to meet them soon! I recently resigned from my two jobs leaving more availability in my schedule for what I love the most, which is watching and loving your fur baby! I have a big backyard for the dogs to run freely and play and use the bathroom in if they are house trained they are free to sleep at the foot of my bed in my room. I have a schedule where I feed my pup 3x a day but I’m definitely willing to make any adjustments for your doggy! Even if I have to take them out for a walk more often or feed them more often it’s not an issue whatsoever! I work from home full-time so im always nearby for anything when i have pups in my care. I under That sometimes dogs with anxiety can often find themselves getting into mischief when left alone too long. I have a gated backyard and all fuzzy babies stay in my bedroom when it’s bedtime so I can keep an eye on them at all times.

If you suspect that your dog may have separation anxiety please let me know so that way i can know to keep them extra close and adjust to them and their needs.

She spent quality time playing with them, making sure they got plenty of attention and exercise, not just a quick walk. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were away.

We couldn’t be happier with Carlie! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and caring, and has taken such wonderful care of our elderly dog. She pays close attention to his cues and never pushes him beyond what he’s comfortable doing. If he feels like walking, she walks with him; if he’d rather snuggle, play, or just have some quiet company, she happily follows his lead. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about him and wants him to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family! ❤️
Grace has once again done an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was out of town, just like she has the previous times. She has such a natural ability to bond with pets and make them feel comfortable and loved. She’s incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I always feel completely at ease knowing my dogs are in her hands. Highly recommend Grace!
Anthony did a fantastic job caring for Luna and made her feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I look forward to having Anthony take care of Luna again in the future. 10/10 service! Thank you, Anthony!
Katherine was wonderful!!! I am so glad she answered the call to CARE and walk my dog Koa. I emphasize care because she did . She had a Doberman before, there for she knew of some the quirky behaviors they can exhibit . She went above and beyond the tasks asked of her, including but not limited to watering my garden! She is an asset to the Rover community!
Leigh is great! I needed a last minute dog walker due to my work schedule and Leigh was perfect with my dog! She took him for long walks and played with him in the backyard before sending me some awesome action pics! She is very thoughtful and caring and I know my dog is in good hands! Will definitely enlist her again for dog walking!
I am so incredibly grateful for Hailey. She started walking Gus just last week, and it’s already clear how special she is. Gus absolutely adores her - which says everything. She’s kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has meant the world to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough - truly the best dog walker I could have asked for.
Vivian had been an amazing dog walker for my pup. She comes about once a week and is trustworthy and reliable. She send us updates and pictures and we know our dog is in good hands. Our pup tends to be nervous around strangers but we know she is very comfortable with Vivian. I cannot recommend Vivian enough!

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

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.
