“Peyton came in last minute to help with Lenox’s daily walks while we were away and our regular walker canceled. She was very communicative about how he did on his walks, sent great pictures, and was even extra gentle with him when a storm strolled through that made Lenox anxious. Would hire her again!”

“Erick is extremely patient (my dog is supremely attached to only me) and cares for your dog like it is his own. He comes to me three times a week and is extremely reliable. I trust my dog with Erick and will use him for future boarding needs which is a big step since my dog is my world and there are few people I’d leave him alone with. Thank for everything Erick!”

About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.

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. 🐾

She put my mind at ease while I was at work because I knew my puppy was being taken care of and having a great time! I highly recommend Jing. She’s reliable, efficient, and trustworthy.

About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)

“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”

About: With over 5 years of experience in pet care, I’ve had the privilege of looking after dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring your furry friend’s safety in any situation. Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, cuddling during a nap, or enriching your pet’s day with engaging activities, I offer loving, reliable care tailored to your pet’s needs. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being of every pet I care for. Each day begins with a morning walk, ensuring your dog starts the day with exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I provide regular feeding, playtime, and attention to any specific needs—whether it’s administering medication or offering some quiet companionship. My routine also includes scheduled potty breaks, mental stimulation with puzzle toys or training, and evening walks to wind down. On a weekly basis, I ensure your pet gets a good mix of outdoor adventures, grooming, and dedicated bonding time. Flexibility and consistency are key to maintaining a balanced routine for your pet’s happiness and health. I follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to maintain consistency. Keeping the same routine minimizes stress and helps your pet feel secure. And I usually keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can rest easy knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have experience with high-energy dogs like doodles, as I have one of my own. I’m very active and enjoy long walks, so I’m able to keep dogs well exercised and engaged. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. For the month of May, I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays, and from 8 AM to 3 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 1, I will be working a full-time internship and will be available on weekdays from 6 PM to 10 PM, and on weekends from 9 AM to 3 PM. I care for pets in their own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise based on their energy level, while always keeping them securely leashed and monitored. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and any specific routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, whether they’re high-energy and need longer walks or more relaxed and prefer a slower pace. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I always provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dumont

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Dumont is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 28,029 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dumont. 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 Dumont. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Dumont 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dumont. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 .

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.
