“Rachel is one of the best caretakers for our IGGY that we’ve had in a long time. She is caring, loving and very very flexible. Recently as I was not feeling well I needed Rachel to walk our puppy during off times and requested her presence at the last minute. She was able to accommodate us And did it with a huge smile and Grace. She does not know how much we appreciated her availability”
“Marco is a wonderful sitter. My husband and I have been extremely lucky to find such a reliable and trustworthy sitter for our baby. I’m sort of a helicopter dog mom, and Marco really caters to every request. We have a doxie who has very special care instructions due to his sensitive back so it really gives us peace of mind knowing he is taken care of properly. Our pup absolutely loves him and it has truly been a blessing to find someone we trust in our home and with our pup Frank. I highly highly recommend him. Thank you so much Marco!”
“Jolie really came through for me and my brand new rescue, Irving. He’s still getting used to city life and everything that comes with it, so he is highly reactive and anxious. She was available the same day to do a meet and greet and was completely calm and unbothered by his jumping and barking even in her face. She put us both at ease and was really patient with him. She took Irving on productive walks in the middle of the day and he took to her pretty quickly. She is also very communicative and kept me apprised of location and how the walks were going. I’d definitely use her services again!”
“Drew was an awesome dog walker and I can’t say enough amazing things about him! He came out to meet Bro before the walk to make sure everything went well. He also had patience when I forgot to give the lockbox code. Very grateful to Drew! Book him!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Gawon walking our two dogs! She was always on time, reliable, and so caring with both of them. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated her communication and the care she showed our pups. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Chris is kind and gentle with my anxious nearly 2 year old dog. My dog is now warming up to him and enjoys his long walk with Chris in the morning. Chris is always on time and can be relied upon to give your pet a calm and pleasant experience.”
About: I have a lot of experience as a dog sitter. I also have experience in dog training, handling, and walking as I’ve done it as a full time job for months. I spent a lot of that time in the dog daycare, often handling 25+ dogs at a time. I spent the rest of the time walking all kinds of dogs around Manhattan. I’ve also had a dog since I was about 7 and I cared for her into her old age when she began having health problems, all the way up until she passed away. Because I work remotely from home, your furry family member will rarely (if ever) be left alone. I love having canine company around while I work, which means plenty of companionship, snuggles, and personalized attention for your pet all day long. My large one-bedroom apartment is perfect for a dog. The building is located just a two minute walk from the beautiful Fort Tryon Park. One thing to keep in mind is that I live in a 5th floor walkup, so if your dog is too big to be carried and has limited mobility, boarding with me may not be the best fit. If I am taking care of your dog in your home, I am always extremely respectful of the environment, treating it as if it was my own home. Also, it’s common for your pet to have separation anxiety in those types of situations, so I make it a priority to have your dog feeling like they are safe and secure. For dog walking, I have a lot of professional experience with very strong dogs, untrained dogs, etc. in Manhattan and other places as well.
“Selina is so amazing that I was tempted not to write a review to keep her a secret! She has been so kind and affirming for us as we started using a walker/sitter for the first time since rescuing our pup. She is incredibly patient and thoughtful and clearly cares a lot about animals and understands their behavior and how to manage them. I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Xiyan was amazing! She was available last minute, super responsive, and made us feel totally at ease. She checked in regularly, gave great updates, and most importantly — kept our pup Frankie safe and happy. You can tell she really cares and has a great energy with dogs. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely book her again!”
About: Started caring for cats at 15 then would board friends dogs while they travel and have even fostered dogs at risk of euthanasia and/or stray dogs traveling from Texas. I work full time m-f however am able to wfh as needed and always have enough time to cuddle and play with furry friends. Weekends are always free for outdoor play time or indoor snuggle sessions. I am in a spacious apartment with a 3 year old cat and 9 year old dog. Both are friendly and love to nap all day. More than enough space to be separated if needed.
“Jayvon, was an exceptional.dog walker. My dog doesnt get to comfortable with strangers immediately, but he was calm and gave her the tine tio adjust to him while still doing his job. Furthermore, He came eceryday ontime even though we had a serious snow storm. Overall, Great guy and will definitely use him again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and took care of the dogs in the neighborhood for extra cash in high school. I love animals and I even found a way to incorporate that love into my undergrad psychology education at Oswego with courses in canine behavior. I'm currently a work from home graduate student working towards my MA in psychology so I have plenty of felxibility to help you fill in the gaps for your pet care needs. I live in a quiet building across the street from a park for routine exercise if your fur baby happens to be staying with me. There's always time for a good walk and a nap.
About: I’ve taken of dogs and cats since I was a child, I have had my cat since I was 15, then I started to walk my neighbors dogs couple days a week. After I move here I had the opportunity to take care of my roommates dog and some of friends pets while they were traveling, My duties were to feed them, walk them, play with them a bit, sometimes bathe them or give them medicine if necessary. I am currently working part time from 12 pm to 6:30pm Monday to Friday, so I had my mornings and weekends off, sometimes I have some weeks free because of the breaks ( I am Nanny). I can’t take care of big dogs in my Apartament because is really small but I can do it with cats and small dogs. I am allow 100% to do overnights, to walk them, feed them, etc in your place.
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Whether it was at my grandmothers house or down the street at the neighbors, I have always been the first one my loved ones call to feed, walk, and cuddle dogs, cats, and any other pet under the sun. I have been around animals my entire life, starting with frequently visiting & caring for my brothers dog when I was just 10 years old. I began pet sitting in middle school, and then this passion grew into my summers at college. I often watch my friends pets in the city when they’re away on trips & am now looking to expand my animal-loving world through Rover. I enjoy taking long walks through the parks, playing outside in the grass, discovering new games, balancing exercise with rest & treats, bathing & lots + lots of cuddles :) Currently I am working part time & remotely, so I have super open + flexible availability! Most of the work I do can be done on my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to make for your pet! Weekends are also generally a great time for me as well. I am happy to oblige to any house rules you may have for your furry friend! (ie on or off furniture, caging around bedtime, feeding/treat schedule etc.)
“Melea showed up early and enthusiastic to take care of my dog Mochi! He liked her immediately and I could tell she was a pro in caring for pups of all backgrounds :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Lee
We had a great experience with Ellie! She took great care with Riley, who can be a quirky dog. She was well cared for, and very communicative about timing and details about the walk. Ellie is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. We’ll definitely be booking again.
Charlie was great with my pups. We had a meet & greet a couple days beforehand and Charlie took my high-energy girl in stride alongside my chill older boy. She was communicative and on time and both pups were happy and well cared for. Would definitely work with Charlie again!
Rebecca was great, she took my last minute booking. She was very patient with my 14 year old schnauzer, Snowy. He has bathroom accidents and she was kind enough to clean up after him in the kitchen. I would definitely use her again in the future and I recommend her.
We needed a sitter at the last minute and couldn't have been luckier to find Phil! Every visit came with a thoughtful update, so we always knew Parker was happy, well fed, and getting plenty of exercise and attention. Parker also needed medication, and Phil gave it reliably every time, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear Parker was in caring, dependable hands. We'll definitely be booking Phil again and highly recommend him!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fort Lee is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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.

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 Fort Lee. 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 Fort Lee 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 Fort Lee. 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.
