About: I have over five years of experience caring for dogs through Rover and for family and friends. I’ve looked after all kinds of pups from playful puppies full of energy to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule since I work for myself and set my own hours. I’m pretty flexible and always make time for the dogs I watch. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I can adjust my day to make sure each pup gets the attention they need. I make sure every pup feels safe and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s routine feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel right at home. I give plenty of attention and snuggles, make sure they get gentle exercise, and keep their space comfortable and cozy. My goal is for every pup to feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
“Andrea was very helpful and accommodating. We left our puppy with her while we did a couple's photo shoot, and she brought the dog back whenever we needed the dog in a photo with us. It went great!”
“Stefan was great with my Dog Finn. He is generally very shy, but warmed up immediately. And now when he arrives to take him for a walk, his tail wiggles all over and he is basically in his lap. It makes me feel so comfortable that he is with my Dog every day!”
“Marvin is excellent. A good communicator with reasonable services. He’s great with Koda and I appreciate the updates from his rover card after the walk. Will be using him again.”
“Auriel is so great- she is very communicative. I’m so glad I booked her, I trusted her fully with Moon, in my home. She’s so sweet , keeps me updated- will def book her again. Thanks so much Auriel.”
“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!”
“Stephanie M is by far our first choice when we need a dog walker. We have used her service on several occasions. During that time, she kept my house from getting destroyed by our puppy and stayed in communication with us. Stephanie is trustworthy, and our puppy loves her. We would be happy to recommend her!”
“I had Jessica walk Pookie and give her dinner. We had a meet-up before that went great and she and Pookie hit it off immediately. I felt comfortable with Jessica and she paid particular attention to details and instructions, which is very important, leaving me with peace of mind and feely confident that all would be well. I received confirmation and photos and returned home to a happy dog. I would happily recommend Jessica.”
“Kristen is truly an angel! I was at complete peace leaving my baby with her. She gave the best detailed updates, communicated so well, loved on and took care of my babygirl so well, and was just so kind through it all. I will absolutely be working with her in the future. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Thank you 🙏🏽☺️”
About: I am capable of working around your needs. I’ve trained puppies, dog sat senior dogs and even kept some highly active dogs company with runs! I work a full time job during the week. For those looking for a weekend get away I am the best person for the job! I live in an apartment complex, so long walks/runs will be utilized! Ensuring enough water is provided and meals are kept on a regular schedule
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. While I listed 15 years of experience, the reality is that I grew up with dogs and have spent years caring for my own, including senior dogs with specific routines and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who need a real walk, as well as older dogs who need patience, consistency, and a slower pace. As a high school teacher and football coach, reliability, communication, and responsibility are core parts of who I am. I show up when I say I will, follow instructions carefully, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both dogs and their owners. For June and July, I’ll have flexible availability day or night and am looking forward to spending that time doing something I genuinely enjoy: getting outside, staying active, and taking great care of dogs. As a teacher and coach, I’m used to structured routines, consistency, and early mornings, and working into the evenings—so pet care fits naturally into how I already live. During June and July, I’ll have especially flexible availability, which makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet care throughout the day and evening. I believe good pet care starts with consistency, attentiveness, and following the owner’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, medications (if clearly instructed), or simply keeping a dog company, I aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. For boarding in our home, dogs will have access to a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, as well as an individual outdoor pen if for supervised fresh air and space to relax. We also have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or prefers that routine. Our home includes senior dogs of our own, so I’m especially mindful of temperament, comfort, and introductions, but for dogs that enjoy companionship, there may also be opportunities for calm social interaction and play. I’m also a strong communicator and will keep owners updated so they always know their pet is in good hands
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was 12 years old, my mom made me earn having a pet, making me go to work with her so I can make the money to buy litter, cages etc. I am beyond grateful she did because now it makes me want to work to take care of my babies and I now own 4 pets!! I'm currently working part time, I just graduated school so i have plenty of time for all fur babies🥰 I wake up to my babies and go to sleep with them, they are my life and joy The goal is to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. Follow the owner’s instructions closely, feeding times, portion sizes, walks, medications, and any special care. Spend quality time with the pet so they don’t feel lonely, and keep the home also respect the client’s space, lock up securely, and give updates (texts/photos) so they feel reassured.
About: I’m the designated pet caretaker in my neighborhood! Neighbors always ask me to stay in their homes and take care of their pups, love it! I’m a full-time college student, I take in-person and online classes, whenever I’m done with classes for the day I’m able to care for your pets :) I have had three dogs and two cats in my own home, I make sure they always have food, water, get walked, change the little box when needed; I’m very comfortable taking care of any dog or cat of any size.
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 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 currently working a very unique part time allowing 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 grew up with animals since I can remember. I had to stop myself from brining home every animal that needed a home haha. Being around animals so often, mainly dogs and cat has taught me not only how to properly take care of them but also understand them while building a loving and trusting bond. Yolenny is the founder of a dedicated pet care service called Moos faithful hounds LLC. Her inspiration to Create this business was inspired her profound love for animals and in memory of her French bulldog, Moo Friend. She believes every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My passion for animals and the drive to begin training blossomed as I cared for both my dogs, Nala and Moo. However, Nala my Labrador was what sparked my interest to start training. Through Nala, I learned the foundations of dog training. Over time, through formal courses and hands-on experience, I discovered a true calling: connecting with each dogs unique personality and needs, so I can help them thrive. As a military service member, my mission is to bring my love, knowledge, and experience to every pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood When I provide my services, safety is always my priority. Safety protocols can be different for each pet. With that being said, I always communicate with the owner to understand and adjust safety protocols based on each pet's needs.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for and grown-up around animals. I enjoy spending time outside at the beach, the park, or going on walks. I love a good cuddle sesh and will always take loads of pictures so that you can still see your dogs smiling face while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog! I am available for overnights from Friday to Monday and I’m available before 12:30 and after 6:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Thursdays I am available from 11:30-2:30 and after 7:00pm. I live in a condo with a large balcony for fresh air and in a neighborhood with several parks for lots of playing and fun! Or a cool day lounging on the balcony :)

I cannot rate any higher or else I would. Stefan is very professional, punctual, and a kind person with great experience. We received detailed information about his interaction and sent cute pictures. He did great with our 3 month old puppy Malinois Shepard. If you’re thinking about booking his services, do yourself a favor and book him. Thank you Stefan!

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 Glen Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Ridge. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
