“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!”
“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. Our dog, Gretel, loved her. She took her on multiple walks a day for us and Gretel was so excited to see her each time. She was super easy to work with and made scheduling so easy. Highly recommend her and would book again in a second.”
About: I am a registered nurse and mom of 3 teenagers and 4 fur babies. I have cared for my own dogs from puppyhood until their senior moments. I grew up with a Basset Hound named Pokey. I enjoy caring for dogs of all ages and stages and engaging with them in their environment. Safety is my number one priority during walks or in home visits. I work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I am able to visit with and walk your pet in the evenings during the week. I have availability on the weekends as well. Trust and reliability are very important. As a homeowner myself who has had wonderful pet sitters, safety is my top priority. I will provide the same level of attention and care I expect for my pets when I’m traveling.

I will give your pet whatever they need and fit them into my daily routine. I am sure to “puppy-proof” my apartment always, never leaving anything around on the floor. I have a fenced in balcony and require leashes outdoors. Walking, sitting, and boarding doggies is currently my full time job. I will fit your fur baby into my daily routine with no problem at all! We will exercise as much or as little as they need, as staying active is a big part of my day! My apartment is always “puppy-proofed” to avoid any potential accidents. I have a balcony that I have also doggy proofed with fencing. I always require leashes outdoors! I also have a camera in my living-room to check up on your more independent pups if I leave for an errand or two. My wife and I will be around to look after your pup with a super flexible schedule. We love when clients give us a list of reminders and key pointers about your pups! We have a 5 year old male Shih-poo who is 10 pounds. He loves loves to play with other dogs who give off good energy! We care for him our very best and will do the same for your pup.
About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.
About: I’m a stay at home mom with too many years experience caring for dogs and puppies to count! Our home is a dog’s dream vacation. We have a friendly dog who loves company, two small kids who adore playing with pups, and a spacious fenced in yard perfect for romping around. Your dog won’t just be looked after—they’ll be part of our family while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom of two elementary school kids , so my schedule is pretty flexible and gives me time to show your sweet pups all the attention and love they need. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pups can run around and play in. It’s my goal to make your dog feel as loved and safe as they do at home.
“ELIZABETH is AMAZING!! Our doggie Emmy Lou is a tentative anxious hound. Elizabeth was able to put her to ease in record time. It is so comforting that Emmy Lou is always so excited to see Elizabeth. She greets our dog with enthusiasm and continues a rapport with the Emmy throughout the walk and even when dropping her off. Elizabeth truly LOVES animals. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. I feel so fortunate to have found Elizabeth because I know if we need to be away from home overnight, Emmy can board with Elizabeth and I will have have no worries!! Thank you Elizabeth! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13. I have a dog of my own so I understand their needs and the attention that needs to be given to any pet Ive just graduated from James Madison University and am taking this time to work and save money while keeping myself active. Spending time with animals keeps me fufilled while also helping me in both these areas When it comes to pet care, safety, trust, and creating a suitable environment are key. i will ensure the pet's surroundings are secure and free from hazards. I’d love to gain trust of your animal by being gentle, patient, and consistent with their care. ill also help to create a comfortable space with food, water, and appropriate shelter.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, but professionally, I’ve spent years working in veterinary medicine. I currently work as a veterinary nurse in the oncology department of a large specialty hospital, and I have experience in multiple veterinary clinics and hospitals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets with chronic or complex medical conditions. I can administer oral and topical medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and my veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t right and responding appropriately in an emergency. I’m also Fear Free Certified and take low-stress handling seriously. I’m happy to work with pets who are nervous, shy, spicy, or simply need a little more patience than the average sitter may be comfortable providing. For pets who need a little maintenance while you’re away, I can also provide nail trims, sanitary trims, and anal gland expressions when appropriate and requested. At home, I have my goofy rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Fae, and two cats: Baby, my beautiful but spicy failed foster, and Boo, my precious social recluse. Between them and my years in veterinary medicine, I’m very accustomed to animals having wildly different ideas about what constitutes a good time. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet’s life as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. For walks and drop-ins, I’m equally happy with a leisurely sniff-every-blade-of-grass walk, an energetic outing, or simply keeping an older pet company and taking care of their needs. I am in clinical rotations for my graduate program from Monday-Thursday 8:30am-4:30pm and work the odd Friday per diem at my veterinary hospital. If you don’t see a date you need, just message me! At your home I will adhere to what is normal for your pet and I can follow any rules and instructions you may have, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, play time and exercise, or just “hanging out” to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of small and large dogs since I was 15. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of, walk, feed, and groom their pets. Pet care is my full time job so it fits my daily routine just fine I’m available weekdays and weekends as well as holidays for pet care. I have a large fenced yard for your fury friend to run around and enjoy. I also have one dog at home to keep your fury friend company.
“She was awesome she came at a last minute notice! She took my dog for a long walk and even sent me a picture of him. Very respectful person I would definitely book with her again!”
“I have a 3 year old golden retriever, and I am so grateful that I found George to walk her. I can tell he cares a lot about animals. George is knowledgeable about animal care as well. I know my dog is under best care when I am at work. I highly recommend George.”
About: We absolutely love pets and animals in general.

We’ve cared for our own pets previously as well as our friends & family’s, including feeding, walks, playtime, vet visits, cuddling, providing love & affection etc. We have experienced applying insulin to diabetic dogs as we had a diabetic yorkie, Luna, in our family whom we lost at 9 years old due to the condition. We sadly also lost our beloved cockapoo Pilar of 11 years to lymphoma however spared no vet & hospitalization cost during that time. We find it fulfilling spending quality time with pets. We also speak Spanish / se habla Español. I work a hybrid schedule with flexible work conditions, my schedule is updated on the Rover app. If any needed week day(s) appears unavailable, please reach out to us either way for possible accommodation. I’m free on weekends therefore have additional time. My wife Katherine works at the school district during school hours Monday to Friday and is free on weekends as well. We live in a townhouse complex, our home has 2015 square feet therefore plenty of room for your pets to play and lounge. The complex has endless green areas for walks, the streets are not opened to public traffic as we have gated private security therefore very safe for pets. We live in a very pet friendly community.

Michelle was fantastic with our pup, Happy! Her communication was excellent, and we received many pics of their walks. Happy is not yet a year and can be a bit of a handful. Michelle handled his energy like a pro and treated our dog like her own. We feel very comfortable with Michelle and would use her again without a doubt!
Vanessa has been amazing with my dog. She’s always on time, super communicative, and you can tell she truly loves animals the moment she meets them. She’s friendly, warm, and my pup absolutely adores her. I really appreciate the care and attention she puts into every visit. I’d recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Fanwood is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 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 November 2026, there are 26,961 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fanwood. 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 Fanwood. 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 Fanwood 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 Fanwood. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
