Taking care of animals brings me so much joy. Theres really nothing like the love of a pet. I am meticulously clean, I am very detail oriented, prompt and treat the dogs I care for as if they were my own. I also like to ensure good communication while taking care of your pet, to give you peace of mind that they are well taken care and happy! Thank you for your consideration. I have a very flexible schedule. I am usually available weekday and weekends, if given enough notice. Please message me for more idetails. Thanks you! I am only available for in home pet sitting on a case by case basis. I had a long career working with children who have developmental disabilities so I am extremely caring, dedicated, reliable and attention focused.
“Kathryn is all the things you’d want in a dog walker! Clear communication, always on time, and so caring of our dog. We get thorough and funny updates after each walk and super cute pictures of our pup! 😄🐕🐾”
“We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: I helped take care of my family dog for 15 years. After losing her last year, I am ready to feel the love again, and I'd love to help care for your pet! I pride myself on being very attentive and caring, ensuring your pets needs will be taken care of - all while getting lots of lovin! I currently work a part-time retail job - my schedule is not your typical 9-5, so in my free time I am looking forward to playing with and caring for your pets!! I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care while sticking to their usual routines (walking, eating, etc). I want to make this as stress free as possible for them and you!
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.
“Kerri has been wonderful! Her communication is excellent—she keeps us updated and is always responsive. We're so glad we found her and are looking forward to having her watch our pups when we travel. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs all my life, with dogs of all ages. From lifetime pet owner to puppy fostering, I’ve enjoyed opening my home to many doggies over the years. I am working from home currently and would love to spend time with your pups while you are away. You can have peace of mind knowing they are having a great time too. I have a fenced in area, tons of doggie toys and enjoy daily walks, so your pup will get plenty of activity.. and I’ll be sure to send pictures so you can see the fun they’re having. I look forward to meeting you and your doggy!
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for dogs since my own pup was just 8 weeks old. From fun off-leash adventures to cozy times at home, I’ve helped my dog grow into a friendly, well-socialized little buddy. I also enjoy walking g and looking after my brother’s dogs (medium and larger size). I always make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve and it makes me happy to see them happy and cared for. Thank you for reading this and I can’t wait to help you too. I’m currently taking a break from my professional career to spend some more time at home with both my children and pup. My kids are teens and at school during the day so I have time for extra dog walks and care. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and my Cockapoo pup is super friendly around both people and other dogs. I’d want to meet and greet before caring for your pup to ensure we are all comfortable and I understand how you’d like me to care for your pet in your home or around your neighborhood.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. As a lifelong dog lover, I care for every pup as if they were my own. I just moved back home from Nashville, TN. Where I was consistently dog sitting in my apartment for the 4 1/2 years living there. Previously before that, I was doing it in my Hoboken apartment for 3 years. We do have a family dog, a border collie / blue heeler, Luna who is 11 years old. She is used to being around other dogs, as we previously had a husky lab as well before she passed away. Luna tends to keep to herself and only cares about her frisbee. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with special needs, including blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs and also senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medication (including daily insulin injections) and even handling tasks like diaper/band changes. ***(Additional charge of $10 will be applied for any dogs with special needs)*** Many of the dogs I’ve cared for have anxiety or don’t do well around other dogs, so I’m very experienced in creating a calm and safe environment for them. A quick note: Rover takes a percentage of my earnings, and my rates are set with that in mind. Also, most people I meet through Rover end up booking with me directly afterward, so my repeat clients listed on the app aren’t an accurate reflection of my true base of returning families. As I also gain clients from other places as well. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have or provide references from repeat clients, both through Rover and privately. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! First thing in the morning, I take pups outside to start the day. If I have work that morning, I make sure they get a nice long walk beforehand. After work and before dinner, we go out for another walk, and then I always do a shorter one right before bedtime. On days I don’t work, I like to take longer mid-morning walks or head to the dog park (with your permission). I love spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air—especially on nice days. Of course, if your pup prefers naps and cuddles over constant activity, I’m just as happy to make that part of our day too :) *currently unable to take any boarding requests* For house sitting: I’d love to care for your pets and make your home feel like a home away from home while you’re away! I’m happy to follow their normal routine with potty breaks every 4–6 hours, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m looking for pets who are comfortable being left alone for a few hours at a time. I’ll be staying at your home throughout the booking, but I do need to be able to leave for work, errands, appointments, or other normal daily activities. I’m not the right fit for pets who require someone to be home 24/7 or who cannot be left alone at all. I want to make sure we’re a great fit from the start! I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care, respecting your home, and keeping you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. 🐾
About: We are a family of dog lovers. We have a 10 year old Mini Pinscher and we would love to take care of your dog! I work part time from home. Plenty of time to take care of your dog. Nice parks around to visit and a friend to play at home. I have a fenced patio for your dog to play supervised or just a cozy place to relax. My dog is available for play in case is an option for you or not at all if you prefer that way.
About: While I am new to Rover, I have a lifetime of experience loving and taking care of dogs. Whether I am stopping in, taking them on a walk, or boarding — I guarantee your pet will be loved, exercised, fed, happy and safe. I am also happy to set up a meet and greet to ensure the perfect fit. I’m currently a graduate student looking for part time work. My schedule is flexible. Please message me with any of your scheduling requests and needs. I am happy to care for your pet right in your home where they are comfortable or in my apartment with a small outdoor patio, if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Closter
Andrea was wonderful with Genie! Even though she is new to us, she proved to be extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and professional right from the start. Most importantly, Genie seemed to really like her and took to her immediately. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for great pet care!
Jimin is an exceptional dog walker. If you are looking for someone to provide serious, high-energy exercise for your pet, she is unmatched. She provides brisk, vigorous walks that are perfect for active dogs. Beyond her energy, Jimin is incredibly reliable; I have total peace of mind whenever she takes Genie out for a run.

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 Closter. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
