“She was great with Scott! He was hesitant to walk with her and barked, but she understood he was nervous and was patient with him She also communicates everything and took a lot of pictures! Will be definitely scheduling walks if her again”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since age 12, worked alongside a professional trainer, and raised my own Pitbull and I am now raising a Havanese. Experienced with multiple breeds, puppies through seniors, I bring patience, structure, and genuine love. If you are new to Rover, use my code CHARLV18304, to get $20 OFF your first booking. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I maintain a flexible schedule while job searching, allowing me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship throughout the week. I create a calm, secure environment by following each pet’s routine, monitoring behavior closely, and maintaining clean, pet-safe spaces. I communicate regularly with owners and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I have fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. If needed I also have crates if your baby feels more comfortable in their own safe space.
About: I have had dogs and cats and various other small pets since I was 7. I know how to handle dogs of all sizes and how to care for other animals such as cats, fish, rodents… I am very patient and willing to do all the little things your pets need, no instructions is too much if it means giving your pets the care they deserve! I am currently a graduate student getting my doctorate. So I will be able to sit and play with your dogs and study while they have nap time or chill time. I would love to give your animals the care they deserve while also giving myself a little mental break with all your cute pets! If you have a a fenced in yard I will gladly go out and play with the animals or sit with them. I will gladly crate your dogs if you need and ensure everything is locked up and safe for them. I will clean up their potty breaks if you ask me to and will gladly feed and clean up any messes.
“Cindy is wonderful with my Senior Dog and caters to his needs on every walk and feeding. She takes her time and has patience with him. She makes sure he’s comfortable and always gives updates and communicates after every walk.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have lived with them for my entire life. I started taking care of friend's and family's pets during high school, and I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility during the summer in between years of college. I currently work evenings, but I am avaliable all morning and warly afternoon to be with your furbaby! I am available for walks and drop ins before 3pm and after 10pm everyday. Anytime I am in your home I will try to stick exactly to your dogs routine so they always feel comfortable. Otherwise, you'll hardly know I was there! I will always send updates on your dog, whether it be at home or on walks.

“Elaine has been amazing with our dog, Jax! He’s usually pretty shy, but he warmed up to her so quickly. It’s clear she really understands dogs and takes her time to make them feel comfortable. She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I’ve had pets in my house from dogs & cats to fish & turtles my whole life!! Whether it’s raising a litter of cats, cleaning up accidents, or administering oral medication, I’ve done it all. While I’ve only taken care of friends’ pets a handful of times, they’ve been impressed by my thorough care & effort every time! I’m currently job-hunting and out of school, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My only setback is going to church certain days of the week, but otherwise I can be available anytime! I understand that every home is different & can adjust to your setup & layout easily, no judgement here! Just let me know what it is you need done for your pet/house and I can do it.
“I highly recommend this dog walker! Shama is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about animals. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy, well-exercised, and well cared for. Communication is excellent—shama provide updates and are always punctual and dependable. It’s clear she treat every dog as if it were their own. Having someone I can trust with my pet gives me great peace of mind. I couldn’t be happier with shama’s service and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
About: I worked at Camp Bow Wow, a boarding and day camp for dogs, for 3 years. I have my own dog, Dash, who is now 11. I have plenty of time for walks during the week in the second half of the day so your dogs will be getting my undivided attention. I will try to check the area before walking your dog to map out the best walk. I will always try and make it an enjoyable experience for your dog.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals, from yorkies to labradors and a ten year old cat! I will be sure to listen to your pet’s every need. I am new to Rover, but I am looking forward to meeting your animal! I am a very active individual and can help your best friend get all of their energy out. I can go on walks up to 2 hours. I am an avid runner so if your dog loves to go a little faster, I can keep up! I have helped clicker train a puppy, and I have hid pills in cheese before and made sure they weren’t spit out! I work full-time 9am to 5pm, so I have availability in the early morning or after work. I am free most weekends, and I update my calendar as soon as I am aware I am unavailable. I have a semi-unpredictable schedule, so I cannot take any repeat requests. I would love to spend multiple hours walking or just hanging out with your pet! I do not have the ability to have pets in my apartment, so I am not able to board any animals in my own home.
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.
“Five-star service! Zharah is honest, dependable, and truly meticulous. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy and well-exercised. I wouldn't trust anyone else. Always on time," "Consistent," "Flexible with my schedule” So grateful to have found Zharah! Her patience and compassion are unmatched.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Dunellen on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 24,001 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dunellen. 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 Dunellen. 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 Dunellen.

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 Dunellen. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
