About: My whole life there’s always been a furry member of my family. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve given medication when needed also very careful with reactive/timid dogs. I work part time so I’m free a majority of the time. Rover will be a fun addition to my schedule. My work allows me to adjust my schedule with any future bookings I may have. Si hablo español también 😌 The community I live in is fenced off from the main road. There is a dog friendly play area in my community as well which is where I plan to do any off leash activities, I like to make sure the play area is empty (usually is). I also have 2 small children in my home but they’ve been around dogs their whole lives so they know how to act with animals and how to treat them with respect
“Toni is super professional and truly understands dogs. She was responsive, detailed and always on time. My dog immediately felt comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Carly was wonderful walking our 80 lb/8 month old Anatolian Shepard puppy! We had to contact her during a family emergency and needed walking every day for a week while one of the owners was out of town. We were a bit concerned because our dog is so big and still learning to be obedient, but Carly was both patient and firm with the puppy. The puppy loved her and looked forwarded to the walks every day. We originally only wanted to book a dog walker for the week, but were so happy with Carly that we have decided to keep booking her!”
About: *I ONLY TAKE ONE CLIENT AT A TIME* *DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED* I've cared for dogs for most of my life, including my own dogs as well as my client's dogs. As a housekeeper for many years, I was the natural choice when my clients needed a pet sitter. Their pets became like my very own. Now that we no longer have a dog in our home and so I enjoy caring for my client's "borrowed" dogs while they are out of town. Hablo español. My husband and I work part-time. Our schedules allow at least one of us to be home all day so your pet will be closely monitored for their safety. I have a fenced-in yard and no other pets in my home. I require a meet & greet before the booking to meet your dog and for you to meet me to make sure we are a good fit. For our safety as well as your dog's safety, I require proof of current Rabies vaccination. At this time, we do not accept more than one client at a time. This is for your pet's comfort and safety. We require a meet & greet with you and your pet before confirming any boarding visit.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve raised and puppy-trained dogs, have experience with exotic animals, and understand that every pet is different. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m free all day Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I only work a short evening shift, and on weekends I work until about 4:30pm. That leaves me with lots of time to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My apartment community has a fenced dog park for safe outdoor play, along with plenty of sidewalks and green spaces for walks. While my apartment is on the smaller side, your pet will have lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and one on attention during their stay.
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years and have always loved being around dogs! I fostered a dog for 5 months and have wanted to get involved with animals again. I’m currently a student getting my masters with a varying schedule during the week. My nights and weekends are always available for your dog needs. I will keep them on a leash when leaving the house and be aware that I may need to shorten the leash or take an alternate path if there are other dogs in the area. I will always clean up after the pet both inside the house and outside the house.
About: Bringing quality pet care to right to your door step. I have been a pet sitter for nearly 10 years. I have experience caring for a variety of cats and dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Russian Blues to Maine Coons. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to be a reliable pet sitter. I am dedicated to providing quality care to your pets such as going on walks and playtime. I will ensure your pet receives proper care and love. I am great at listening to instructions and being organized. I assure that my client's pet and home will be treated with the upmost respect and care during the duration.
“I highly recommend this dog walker! He was extremely reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog. His updates were very detailed and descriptive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He always kept me informed about the walk, my dog’s behavior, and anything noteworthy. I truly appreciated the thorough communication and excellent care he provided.”
“Brittany is a life saver. I needed her services last minute late at night while on vacation and she came through like a star. She’s definitely my new go to.”
About: Animals have always been at the center of my life! My mom worked as a lead veterinary technician and also ran a pet sitting business, which meant I grew up surrounded by animals and learning how to care for them properly. Over time, I took over her pet sitting business and have continued building it on my own. I also worked in the veterinary industry myself, where I gained hands-on experience with everything from administering medications to caring for senior and special-needs pets. Today, I provide trusted in-home pet sitting for families who want peace of mind while they’re away. I treat every pet like my own—whether that’s daily walks, playtime in the yard, cuddles on the couch, or keeping up with special care routines. I currently live in a two-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a backyard area and I’m close to a beautiful park that I love walking dogs to for exercise and fresh air. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m confident handling oral and injected medications, senior care, and special needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and healthy, and I go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable in their home environment. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and providing them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8–4, but I make pet care a big part of my life outside those hours. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise when I’m with them. I also have my mom who taught me all my veterinary knowledge right now the street who often stops in to give love and assist with potty breaks while I’m working if needed :) I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. With a background in veterinary medicine and years of pet sitting experience, I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to senior or special-needs pets. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with a backyard area and I’m close to a park, which makes walks and outdoor playtime easy and enjoyable. Whether at my home or yours, I provide a loving, reliable environment you can trust.

About: I have saved and cared for dogs, cats and different pets since my childhood as an assistant to my veterinarian father. I learned kindness and love it’s what they need most ! I am a semi retired individual with a unique job which allows me plenty of time to care for your fur baby in my house or yours! I have a fence back yard in a detached home near a beautiful park for pleasant walkings. I will follow all directions and schedules the owners have for their pets.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and truly understand their unique needs and personalities. I’ve cared for dozens of dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and currently have dogs of my own that I love dearly. This hands-on experience has taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual needs—whether it’s training support for puppies or gentle, patient care for senior dogs. My passion for dogs means I treat every furry friend like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my life—I’m available most days and all daytime hours throughout the week. While I work a few night shifts, I make sure my schedule allows plenty of quality time to focus on caring for your pets during the day. I’m flexible and reliable, so your furry friend will always get the attention and care they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. For boarding, I provide a warm, loving environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular walks to keep them active and relaxed. During walks, I focus on exercise, exploration, and bathroom breaks, tailoring each walk to your pet’s energy and needs. For drop-ins and house sitting, I maintain your pet’s regular routine—feeding, play, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection—while making sure your home stays secure and clean. My goal is to make every pet feel at ease and cared for just like they would with you.
About: Hi! I have fostered for kittens ages from 1 week to 9 weeks. I have also volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had cats, dogs, and birds. I have two golden retrievers, one chihuahua, one sheltie, and three cats. I have experience in all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I am currently enrolled as a full time college student but I love animals so I love to work and volunteer with them on the side. I have 2 very stubborn and sweet golden retrievers along with a chihuahua that can be snappy. When we make pets go outside of their comfort zone it can cause anxiety in behavior issues which I have dealt with. With all pets you have to know their personality and how to cooperate with them in a way that makes them comfortable.
“Gwen was fantastic with Rocky today. She was patient and a great dog walker. Rocky looked very happy in all his pictures and I am happy Gwen was there to make his day. 5 stars!”
About: I had two dogs growing up I loved so much. My friends and family run to me when they have any type of dog service needed as they know I love animals. I have done plenty of walks, overnight services, and drop-ins. I adore dogs so so much and have a strong passion to give them top quality care as if they were my very own! I walk, sit, and board dogs full time. I take pet care as a seriously job. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and in between! I have open availability and aside of that am a stay at home mom. I recently moved away from my childhood home where we had to dogs. But I would go on walks with them every single day and took care of a lot of their daily needs. I treat every single dog as if they were my own. I truly believe dogs are not just pets but are family members who deserve the same level and care as a child.

I cannot rate any higher or else I would. Stefan is very professional, punctual, and a kind person with great experience.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Glen Ridge is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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.

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 Glen Ridge. 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 Glen Ridge 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 Glen Ridge. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
