“She was absolutely amazing with my little guy. I could tell from her updates and the photos she sent how much she genuinely cared about him. She showed up on time every day and always let me know how he was doing. Seeing his little face while I was away made me so happy, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Sumit is the best! I’ve used several other walkers which were all good but he is EXCELLENT!! You can trust him to take care of your dog like it’s his own. Highly recommended!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
“Jules provided amazing care for our Golden retriever during a recent out of town vacation. It was the first time we left our baby in the care of someone outside the family, but we were comfortable every step of the way! From meeting Jules, to the great updates along the way (including pictures!) it was a perfect experience. Highly recommend across the board!”
About: Your dog isn't just a pet—they’re family. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to step away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your dog’s unique personality, whether they need extra patience, steady structure, or just a calm companion. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every dog with the same love, vigilance, and gentle care I give my own. You’ll get clear communication and daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. Because I have a flexible schedule with dedicated evening and weekend availability, pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it’s a central part of my day. Mornings & Daytime: I keep a predictable daily rhythm, allowing me to stick precisely to your dog’s established feeding, walking, and potbreak schedules without rushing. Evenings & Weekends: My peak availability is during evenings and weekends, making me a reliable choice for dinner feeds, bedtime routines, long weekend walks, or overnight stays when you need to be away. Dedicated Attention: Whether I’m visiting your home or providing house-sitting, your dog receives consistent, undivided care. I plan my routine around their needs to ensure they get plenty of exercise, companionship, and low-stress downtime. In My Home: Friendly Companionship: I have two friendly dogs who love new playmates and a fully fenced-in yard for safe, outdoor play. Flexible Options: If your dog needs crate time for resting or sleeping, I can easily accommodate their usual routine. In Your Home & On Walks: Home Security: I treat your home with total respect—locking up securely, keeping spaces tidy, and following all house rules. Safe Walks: I use your preferred leash/harness setup, stick to secure routes, and monitor pavement conditions to protect sensitive paw pads. Strict Safety: I follow your specific feeding and treat instructions—no unapproved foods, ever. You’ll get regular photo updates so you always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and well-cared for!
“No words can capture how well Angela managed our Morkie this past weekend. She was such a great communicator, always on time, made great observations such as knowing when our dog had enough time out or might have been stressed with us away. She even offered a refreshing bath after three days of pouring rain. Truly the best experience we ever had with this kind of care!”
“Lenny is fantastic. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she was happy to help. She was prompt every day, responsive, thoughtful about my pup’s needs and sent great pictures and videos. We’ll definitely be asking for Lenny’s dog walking help in the future!”
“Boryana was wonderful with my dog! She came for a meet & greet to go over everything. During the visit she took such great care of him & sent me photos and updates. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals and have loved caring for them since I was a child. When I got married and started my own family, having animals in our home remained very important to me. I couldn’t imagine a home without them, and I’m happy my daughter grew up sharing that same love for animals. Over the years, I’ve often helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away, simply because I love doing it. Now, I have more time to offer that same love and care to other families and their furry family members. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there. I’ve experienced that feeling myself, and I understand how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. For me, caring for animals is much more than a job. It’s something that comes naturally to me. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I want each one in my care to feel happy, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. I have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I can adjust my routine to fit each pet’s needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I want to keep them as comfortable as possible while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your instructions and maintain the familiar habits that help your pet feel safe and at home. My goal is to make sure your fur baby receives not only the care they need, but also plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a loving, calm home environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet parent’s instructions, keep a close eye on pets, and make sure outdoor time is always safe and supervised. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I take that responsibility seriously. I want you to feel at ease knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Kaitlyn was prompt to walk Zoey at our scheduled time and made sure she got lots of care while she was there. She provided photos and is extremely communicative before, during, and after the visit. She is reliable and I will certainly have her care for Zoey in the future!
Victoria is the best!!! Look no further - you found a wonderful dog caregiver! She has walked our dog, Riley, many times: she is organized, receptive and has excellent communication skills. I feel so very comfortable when Riley is with her. She sends detailed updates and photos while also responding promptly. She is very flexible when scheduling which we truly appreciate! We look forward to having her again and HIGHLY recommend her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Freehold is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $22 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 Freehold. 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 Freehold 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 Freehold. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
