“Divine takes such good care of our Winnie! She’s the first dog walker we’ve hired and she has been flexible with our schedule changes week to week, sends the sweetest pictures, and is always on time.”

About: I believe pets deserve to feel just as loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away as they do at home. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give each pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, a shy pet, or a senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m happy to keep up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little routines that help your pet feel comfortable. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. When caring for a pet, I make their routine a priority. I’m happy to follow their normal schedule and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I also make time for regular updates and photos so their owners know how they’re doing. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and opportunities to relax. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their familiar environment and stick closely to their routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised, given plenty of attention, and have everything they need. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience and care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep their owner updated with photos and messages along the way.
About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.
About: I have always had a love for animals since a small child. My exposure and interest for neighborhood animals and pets brought on opportunities for pet sitting in my community growing up. This love grew into a passion/career as I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years and received my bachelors in Agriculture at Virginia State University in 2020. My schedule is currently flexible until October 19, 2026 allowing me plenty of time to tend to your pet(s) in need! After September, I will be available Monday-Thursday 6pm to 9pm and Friday- Sunday 9am to 10p. I have my own fur baby by the name of Sebastian. He is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier who loves to socialize with people and pets. We currently live in a suburban neighborhood that will make you feel safe to leave your fur babies in my hands.
About: **Hablo español!** I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, recently passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and cats and when I was eight years old, I started riding horses. I’ve loved animals in my entire life and work at a shelter.

About: I love all cats and dogs, and even unique pets! I have lived my whole life caring for animals and even some with special needs including overweight, diabetic, and some injuries I will be working remotely from home, so I have all the time day or night to stay close by to care for your pets. I am always respectful of your home and want your pet to feel as much at home with a new person present as possible. I keep very clean and leave exactly how I found your place. Prior to sitting, I usually would like an idea of what type of home you have (house, apartment, etc), how much space there is for your pets to play, and what areas are off limits for them to play or hang out. If your pets go in and outside, I’d love to run around outside and play with them or keep a close eye. I’d also be happy to go on walks with your pets around your neighborhood or wherever you prefer for some extra exercise.
About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 14 for cats, dogs and reptiles. I've also owned dogs, cats and birds so I'm well aware of how to take care of a multitude of animals. I'm open to watch all types of animals. I'm able to do house visits which would include checking up on your pets, making sure they're fed, spending time with them, and provide enrichment and fun play time. I do live in an apartment so the walks would be done either at nearby parks or walking throughout the neighborhood. If a backyard is available, I will make sure to have play time involving fetch, tug of war, tag, etc. I’m available full time for your pet care needs and I look forward to making friends with your furry ones! I offer dog walking, and in-house sitting/check ups. Pets will be taken cared of based on the owners and pets needs. I wouldn’t want to disrupt their schedule so I will follow their current schedule to make sure they’re comfortable and not cause any confusion.
“There are not enough positive things I can say about Alyssa and her sitting with Little Man. He loved seeing her, which I really appreciated since he is rarely with anyone else. Even my other dog (service dog, who went with me) loved spending time with her. I was having mobility issues, so she also helped with anything else we needed. Went above and beyond, which we really, really appreciated. Thank you, Alyssa, and hope we can see you again soon.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm comfortable with administering medication, handling special dietary needs, and giving extra gentle care to shy and anxious pets. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'm tidy, respectful, and will make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. You can count on me for prompt communication, regular updates, and lots of pictures! Let's set up a meet-and-greet! I'm currently out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your pets! I go back to school mid-August and will continue taking on gigs on the weekends then. I'm very tidy and respectful and you can trust me to take care of your pet in your home in a safe and gentle way.
About: Once you watch after one coworker's dog, word gets around the office rather quickly. I've been pet sitting for over 3 years until I recently moved to Richmond for a promotion. Now, I need a side hustle to help pay the bills. The pets I've watched over are dogs, cats, rabbits, and lizards. I don't own any cats or dogs, but i have 2 turtles for pets. I'm new to the area and don't get out much. I'm a full time accountant and have to be in the office twice a week, usually Wednesdays and Thursdays, but that can be flexible I keep my apartment clean and respect other people's homes too. If you'd like me to spend some time at your place, all I need is the WiFi password. I can work and prefer to play games and stream my shows from my laptop. I'll most often just get take out and take your trash out before you come back. Everything will be just as you left it.

Communicative, punctual, flexible, and a lovely warm and charming personality! Divine had wonderful presence and energy - she was amazing with my anxious pup, and when my other dog was misbehaving (torn ACL), she was incredibly professional, courteous, kept her cool, was patient and supportive throughout the engagement. Will definitely hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,337 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fort Lee. 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 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
