“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”
“Jolie was fantastic with my Alize! It’s clear that they formed a bond and my pooch trusts her. I am so happy to see that my dog was so well cared for. Will request again for sure! Thank you!!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, from a black lab to an airdale terrier to a peekapoo, and I am the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. These days I'm mom to Coach, my 5-year-old chihuahua mix, who is my whole world. I love all animals and treat every pup like my own—plenty of walks, playtime, and sticking to their usual routine. Comfortable with senior care, medication, and high-energy dogs alike. Your dog will get the same care I'd give my own! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so midday walks, playtime, and drop-in check-ins are no problem. I'm also available for dog walking and house sitting most evenings and weekends. Your pup will have plenty of company and stick to their normal routine! Your pup's comfort comes first. I'm a dog mom myself—my chihuahua mix Coach is my whole world—so I know how it feels to leave them in someone else's hands. I'll keep to your routine exactly, follow your rules to the letter, and send plenty of photo updates so you're never wondering how they're doing. Walks are always on leash in safe areas, on your dog's favorite routes.
“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!”
“Clifmon was an excellent career for our pup! He was patient and very communicative every step of the way. Our dog had some trepidation the first walk and Clifmon worked through it very well and established trust for the rest of the walks. We'd happily have him back for walks any time!”
“Lee was awesome! I requested his services to walk and feed my dog while I was an away on a trip, and it was a great experience. Lee was very communicative, punctual, reliable, and all around great with my doggo. I would definitely recommend his services to any dog owners that needs someone good and trustworthy to care for them.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Victor made a great first impression! He was able to get my shy pup to open up and by the end of the booking, they were besties! He was very great with communication and always made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. Would recommend Victor to a friend!”
About: I grew up with multiple chihuahuas in the house at all times. Caring for them and playing with them brought, and brings me so much joy! I just moved to New York and am missing my own dog (named Ramen Noodle) deeply, so it would be an honor to care for your pet. Additional facts about me include that I spent time studying animal science as a junior zookeeper, caring for a diverse amount of animals, including guinea pigs, rabbits, skinks, and snakes. I have developed enrichment for animals, so I’d be happy to teach your pup new tricks and come up with inventive games for them!!! I have had multiple senior dogs as well, and am able to accommodate any needs your pup might have. ♥️ I’m currently working part time at a yoga studio, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk or care for your pups. Just shoot me a message regarding scheduling and I should be able to make it work! I currently live in Washington Heights. I’m not able to board because we have two cats living in our home who value their peace (lol!), but I would be more than happy to travel anywhere in NYC.
About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.
About: I have taken care of animals, both my own and many of my neighbors and friends I've made over the years, and have taken care of several cats and dogs through their entire lives. I have experience with helping medicate cats and dogs as well as assisting animals with arthritis or other issues in their mobility around the house, though I am not a trained veterinarian and don't claim to be one. I have also aided in some young pet training and otherwise helped in the fostering process for some young kittens. I currently am a college student that already regularly cares for several of my neighbor's cats as well as occasionally checking in on my best friend's apartment of five cats when they cannot do so themselves. This includes daily check-ups, feedings, house cleaning and time spent for affection, play and rest. When caring for a cat or dog in a client's home, I make sure to both clean up after any mess made by the cat or dog's mealtimes, litter for cats or accidents made by either cats or dogs, respect to the privacy of both neighbors and friends by not using their home as if it was my own or rooting around in their belongings, and ensure that every animal can either maintain their own personal space and health if they need the distance, or the affection they'll be willing to accept without violating their boundaries. For over a decade I've assisted my neighbors and my friends with many of their needs as well as with home care while they are away.
About: I have personally trained my dog when I was 13 when he was a puppy. I often care for friends and family’s pets when they need a caretaker so I have a lot of experience. I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a lot of free time to be there for your pet. In my spare time I love to go on walks with my own dog and throw a ball with him in the yard. I have a spacious house with three levels and a fenced backyard. I also have a very social cockapoo who loves meeting new friends. There’s plenty of toys and treats on deck for any furry friend to stay happy!

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.
About: I am a reliable, loving professional with years of animal-care experience. My work in a kennel has made me especially confident in my abilities to cater to different needs, (cats/dogs, temperaments, quirks), multi-task, and stay on my feet. I raised both my dogs from puppyhood, and have helped my older dog, Grace, adjust to being unable to use one of her legs. Through this I have learned how to modify walks by taking lots of rests (or using her wagon!) as well as bandage her legs and put them in a brace. I bring the utmost care, passion, and fun to pets that I’d want my own to have! I am available sporadically throughout the day, 7 days a week! Any time from early morning and as late into the evening needed. I am taking ongoing clients at this time, also! I am very gentle and understanding of different needs. My mastiff loves to play rough, but my sharpei loves the sweet side of people, so I know how to cater to different needs!
About: I'm back to rover this summer after having taken a break with work and being a student. A little bit about me: I grew up with a dog and he was a part of my life until I was an adolescent and understand how much care goes into having a dog. I started my own dog walking business in the Fall of 2020 and worked for multiple dog walking companies after that. I have also lived with cats and love them a lot too. I would love to help out with your dog or cat as I understand how much care is necessary for your furry loved ones. I’m currently getting my Masters in Social Work and live in Washington Heights but have lots of availability this summer! I'm free full-time for the summer to help out with your dog's needs, whatever they may be. Please reach out if you think I may be a good fit! I want to keep the environment for your dogs as safe and fun as possible. I will follow whatever is best for your dog or cat (you know them best!)
About: I grew up with a dog and a Parrot. I’m a big pet person. When I lived back East my friends would depend on me to make sure there dogs were taken care of while out of town. Not only would I walk, feed, and play with these angels but would bath and often take them to get groomed. I currently have an open schedule. When I do work I have very flexible days so am able to accommodate pets needs throughout the day. When pets are in my home I allow free roam of the place( unless instructed otherwise). When I’m not home I will crate pet. If I’m in a clients home I strictly follow whatever guidelines they have set.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fort Lee is $24

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!
Nicole is an absolute angel. I could not have met a kinder person. Benji took to her immediately and did wonderfully on his first walk. She made sure to even refill his water while I was out and played with him for a little. As a new dog mom, she really eased my anxiety with my new pup and I will absolutely be booking her again!
Drew is fantastic! He’s so responsive. I just started a new job and my schedule has been wacky. Drew’s been incredibly patient and flexible in scheduling walking with my pup, Duke. It’s been a huge relief to have someone trustworthy taking care of midday walks when I’m out of the house.
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!!

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 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
