She's reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does.”

Dunellen dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are glad to have booked Hadija a few times for both multi-day dog/house sitting and dog walking. We cannot recommend her highly enough! She is a very reliable dog walker who focuses on our dogs needs - such as extra time for sniffs, sun bathing, and following our dog’s favorite routes! We especially appreciate her taking care of our dog during a heat wave and severe rain storm - she was careful to go out during times that were the safest for our dog. She even helped our dog heal from a bee sting during a walk! She stays in great communication during the walks with updates and photos. We are grateful for her time and care of our dog! Thank you so much!
Dulce has been the best dog walker for our 150 pound dog, Ralph. She has open communication, always on time, sends pictures and updates!! We have been using her every week for his walks and he LOVES her. He gets so excited to see his buddy..highly recommend Dulce!!!!!
