“Was the first time we used rover and didnt wanna leave our baby girl alone while we ate dinner so we decided to book with him. He was able to get our pup walked with a quick booking process and had great communication the whole time.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have cared for two dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors, making sure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I’ll provide the loving care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work from home most days, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On the 1–2 days a week I go into the office, I plan ahead with early morning and evening care to ensure pets stay on their normal routine. I also stay communicative with pet parents so they always know their pet is safe and well cared for, even on my busier days. I don’t have dogs at home, and I live in an apartment with a large lawn and also live close to a park, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, potty breaks, and playtime. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and exercise. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and stick to the pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
“Laura is great with dozer. He has recently been having some health issues and she has been very sensitive to needs and always communicates with me about his energy level and vibe for the day. Her help and consistency is greatly appreciated!”
“Ece has been walking my Gus for two weeks now and I’m very happy I booked with her. So is Gus! He felt comfortable with her from the beginning. Excellent communication and very attentive to Gus’s needs—thank you, Ece!”
“Kim is amazing! So sweet and attentive to our dog, and very communicative and understanding! Highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for great care and attention for their animals.”
About: I have 4 years experience dog sitting in South Jersey! I have experience working as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility and now work with farm animals on the Rutgers Farm! I have, on multiple occasions, house sat as well for far away jobs. I have 6 years of fostering experience. This includes cats, dogs, ferrets, tarantulas, and hamsters. I spend lots of time shadowing and interning in veterinary settings to gain experience prior to veterinary school. I juggle Rover with a part-time job and being a full time student. My flexibility depends on the time of year because of this but, usually, I am willing to travel up to 20 minutes for check ins/walks and house sit further away. When I’m taking care of your pets, that is my complete focus. My top priority is keeping your pets as stress-free, happy, and healthy as possible, and I will try to accommodate in any way you ask.
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.
“Tessa I appreciate you so much & so does monkey. I hope this is a start of a new and ongoing relationship. I definitely recommend you and want to book you for the future. We have found our perfect person. Thank you Tessa, see you soon dear.”
“Ryan has been so patient and sweet with our anxious chihuahua, Pinto. Pinto is nervous around new people and Ryan was very patient allowing Pinto to warm up to him and not rushing him. Pinto now greets Ryan with excitement and loves the walks. Ryan is also dependable and communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Hiral has walked our dog Hank a few times now and Hank always has a great time with her. She sends pictures and updates throughout her visit, even feeds him if needed. She is our go to!”
About: Hi, my name is Amanda and I adopted my beagle, Honey, last year. I grew up with cats and dogs, and understand that pets are part of the family. I have experience with kittens, cats, and anxious dogs. My specialty is small to medium sized dogs. I walk and train with my dog every day. We completed all the obedience training programs at PetSmart and we participate in agility classes and ecollar training programs. I understand the importance of training as well as caring for the animal with love and patience. I work from home, so my schedule is quite flexible. I walk my dog for about 20 minutes between 8-9am, and then again in the evening from 5pm-7pm. I have a friendly 1.5year old beagle at home who would love to play and snuggle with your pup. I would separate them via dog gate or crating during meal time. We would go for a pack walk and have designated nap time in their crates. Additionally, I would crate both dogs overnight for safety purposes.
About: I brought my rescue dog, mochi, home when I was 11, and raised him till he was 18! Mochi gave me lots of experience of how to properly care for a senior dog. Ever since he passed away, I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs and cats. I always have lots of fun and decided to make it my side hustle:) I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your pets lots of love and attention. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate to when your pets need to stay at my home. My apartment door, windows, and main building door are always locked. I will make sure your pets get well fed on time and always have clean water ready. I love cuddles and walking!
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”
About: I’ve worked as a veterinary technician/assistant for about three years, caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. That experience has taught me how to recognize when a dog is feeling stressed, excited, or simply needs a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering medications if needed, and making sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and the person my family and friends call when they need someone to watch or walk their dogs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and building a bond with them. As a dog owner myself, I have four dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. One of my senior dogs follows a strict diet and medication regimen that I manage every day, so I know firsthand how important consistency, attention to detail, and dependable care are when someone else is looking after your pet. I make communication a priority and love sending plenty of photos and updates so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure every dog feels happy, relaxed, and excited! I am a college student on summer break, so I have open availability throughout the week. I'm flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate clients. I'm available to provide dependable and attentive care. I would always treat clients' homes and their pets with the same level of respect I would expect for my own. With a background in veterinary hospital settings, I feel comfortable following detailed care instructions and providing compassionate care for every pet!

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Edison on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 .

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 Edison. 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 Edison.

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 Edison. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
