About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a professional women's soccer player! While soccer keeps me busy, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets and currently have two dogs back home—a German Shorthaired Pointer named Grace and a Yellow Lab named Earl—as well as my 15-year-old black cat, Pigpen. Being away from them during the season has only made me appreciate how important it is to know they're in good hands, and that's exactly the kind of care I want to provide for your pets. I've spent years dog sitting, cat sitting, providing dog walks, and giving cats the attention and enrichment they need while their families are away. I also volunteer with local animal shelters and have training in cat enrichment, so I'm comfortable working with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company and stick to their routine, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I know every pet is different, and I treat every animal I care for like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands! As a professional soccer player, having structure and consistency is a big part of my daily life. My training schedule is planned well in advance, which allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own environment, so I do everything I can to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, playtime, or bedtime routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For dogs, every walk is tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. Some dogs enjoy a long, active walk with plenty of opportunities to explore, while others are happiest with a slower pace and extra sniffing time. Safety is always my top priority, and I'll make sure your dog gets both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need. For cats, I understand that every personality is different. Some cats love interactive play and attention, while others prefer a calm presence and a familiar routine. With my background in feline enrichment, I enjoy providing activities that keep cats engaged while always respecting their comfort level. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets—and your home—are in good hands.

About: Growing up fostering rescue dogs from 11 hour rescue taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I work full-time and work from home on Fridays, so I’m very flexible and available Friday through Sunday. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for your pup! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always respect each pet’s individual needs.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also volunteer at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, where I socialize with dogs and cats, take dogs on walks, play with them, and help with their overall care. I’m comfortable feeding pets, providing fresh water, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m an active person, so longer walks and hikes are always a pleasure, especially for energetic dogs! I’m also happy to handle the less glamorous parts of pet care. If your pet has an accident inside the house, I have no problem cleaning it up and making sure everything is left clean and comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, care, and lots of attention while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits, depending on the day and your pet’s needs. On weekends, I’m available throughout the day and can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and longer visits. Safety is always my priority. I prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks and make sure they’re secure and comfortable at all times. Depending on your preferences and your dog’s routine, I can supervise them in the backyard, take them for walks around the neighborhood, or bring them to a dog park for some exercise and playtime. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets the type of activity they’re used to.

“Allison was able to help us with our pets last minute when our usual walker had to cancel. She was so friendly and even made the time to stop over the day prior to introduce herself, grab the house key and meet our dog. It’s a bit unsettling handing over your life to someone you just met, but she gained our trust and confidence in just a few minutes. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you, Allison!”

About: Vet tech experience combined with hands-on daycare and grooming work means your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands.

I'm available for... - Drop-ins: Mon, Wed, Fri (when not scheduled), & weekends - Dog Walking: Weekdays, after 3:30 PM on Tues & Thur, & weekends. - House sitting (overnight): Weekends I am flexible and happy to accommodate schedules when possible!

I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet's individual needs, behavior, and routine. I also have experience bathing dogs and can provide baths if needed, as long as the pet is not stressed, and it can be done safely. I prefer to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to ask/answer any questions and to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me prior.

About: Hi, I’m Brit—an animal lover with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, especially small to medium breeds like cockapoos, cavapoos, and hound mixes. I truly believe every pup is unique, so I take the time to get to know their quirks, energy levels, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks or just wants some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to what they need. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup🐾 Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, ensuring I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks as requested. Whether it’s a midday check-in or extended sitting, I plan ahead to give each pet my full attention and make sure their needs are met with consistency and care. I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment for pets by maintaining their daily routines in their own home. I follow feeding schedules, walking routes, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. I take extra care to understand each dog’s temperament, using a gentle and observant approach to keep them safe and happy. I always leave the home tidy and secure, and keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have four dogs of my own, where I have helped train them, raise them, and care for them. I have a love for all dogs and understand their individual needs. In addition to my own dogs, I have been dog-sitting through Rover for about 3 years. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of attention. I am aware that all dogs need a different type of care, whether they're the energetic fun-loving pup - to a lazy little lap dog. I am reliable and professional and will provide you with pictures, updates, or anything you may need to make you feel at ease while I’m with your pup. I have experience with handicapped animals and sick animals and can administer shots or oral medication if needed. I am always available on the weekends, and whenever needed for walks or drop-ins during on the weekdays. I am ready to treat your dogs like my own, and believe that all dogs should be loved equally and cared for. Your best friend will be my best friend!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for ages to feed, walk, play, cuddle, and keep their pets smiling while they’re away. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.Lots of tail wags and purrs guaranteed. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.

FAQs for Dog Walking - East Hanover

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in East Hanover is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 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 27,315 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Hanover. 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 East Hanover. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 East Hanover 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 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 East Hanover. 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
