“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
“Sadi was great. My dog is very nice, but also has a lot of energy and can be tough to get used to in the beginning. Sadi was wonderful with my pup all weekend. Great updates and communication. Won’t hesitate to reach out for future help. Thanks Sadi.”

“Claudine has been walking my pup Brady for a few months now & he absolutely adores her!! She is extremely professional & loves what she does, I couldn't recommend her enough!”

About: Hello, my name is Christina. I am truly a lover of animals, and have been since I was a child. I have grown up with a range of different animal companions including: dogs, guinea pigs, birds and fish. You know that person you see on the bench surrounded by pigeons because they keep breaking off pieces of their lunch to give to them? That's me! Or, that person you always see feeding the same stray cats that live in your local area? Also, me! I also happen to be a very strong advocate for the rights and well being of ALL animals and it breaks my heart to see any treated unkindly or unfairly. Work Experience: I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at animal shelters since I was a preteen, and later went on to becoming employed as an Animal Caretaker in my adult years at ASPCA. I have worked with a variety of animals from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, turtles, and even goats. It was a very demanding job, to put it lightly. Though, most people would assume otherwise when it comes to working with animals. But, due to my experience, I know exactly how much effort and work goes into actually properly caring for an animal and catering to its distinctive needs. I was also the owner of a small dog walking/pet sitting business outside of Rover, which I did for 3 years. Lastly, I would like to mention that I am a very detail oriented person, and a bit of a perfectionist. If I do a job, I make sure I do it well. I am also immensely compassionate and emphathic when it comes to all living creatures, so I think with these skills combined, I would be perfectly fit to look after your furry, feathery or scaly friend. I'm currently available to work anytime. I am available to work on weekdays and weekends, preferably in the mornings and afternoons. I can also be available on some evenings and overnights. If I am unavailable for whatever reason, I will immediately let the client know. I will take care of pets based off exact instructions provided by clients. Typically, I would take dogs out on long walks in the surrounding areas or backyards, play with and feed all animals, and ensure that their water bowls are changed and filled with clean water, and all litter boxes, cages or tanks are cleaned. I will make sure to be vigilant when it comes to clients' pets to make certain they are safe at all times. And, you can ensure that I will leave the clients' home clean and exactly how it was found, and once finished, all doors and windows will be locked and secured to prevent possible intrusions. I am someone who always double checks to make sure a door is locked.

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.
“I can't recommend Amanda enough. She's been incredible for our boy, Roscoe. Her patience and care really shine through and Roscoe jumps when she arrives. So glad to have found her for our weekly walks.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs at every stage. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to adolescent dogs learning good habits, to our sweet senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and anxiety levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. Some dogs want an adventure buddy, some want a cuddle companion, and others just need a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a high school teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and highly communicative. I'll treat your pet like a member of my own family and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm a teacher on summer break with flexible hours. I understand our furry friends don't always live by the same schedule we do, and am happy to provide them with the midday walks/socialization they need so you can come home to a happy pet. I'm happy to provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. Care in my home involves comfy couch access, walks on streets with sidewalks, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is my top priority, so I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. Upon request, I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have taken care of puppies, dogs, and cats for the past 10+ years for family, friends, coworkers, and new friends from Rover. You can count on me to feed your pet according to their schedule, walk them when they need it, and make sure their water bowl is always full :). I'm accustomed to adjusting to different pet's needs because everyone is unique. I look forward to meeting your pet! Please note we have a 2 year old son, so we need pets to be kid friendly. We have a fenced in yard and love to take walks to the park. My daily job allows me to work from home and I have flexible hours. And I am available on weekends to take care of your pets. I care for pets with safety first. I live with my partner and we keep a tidy house that will have plenty of room for your pet to roam around. We live in a safe single family home and always lock the door to ensure your pets safety. When staying in other's homes, I treat it the same as mine, if not better. I ensure to lock the doors and never leave the trash or food out that can make a pet sick. My home has a fenced in yard that is perfect for your pet to get some fresh air before they get their afternoon walk and play time.

“Andrew was great with Penny! He was extremely patient with her (because she’s a little bit of nutcase), super punctual, and left a descriptive report. My dog typically does not like men, but she must’ve gotten good vibes from him since she liked him. Would definitely recommend booking with Andrew!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: He estado cuidando a Lola, mi perrita compañera, desde hace once años en la República Dominicana y al mudarme aquí en New Jersey la traje conmigo. Tengo mucho tiempo disponible para hacer cosas como caminar perritos ya que me gustan mucho y sería un trabajo muy gratificador para mi persona y para ocupar mi tiempo Yo podría cuidar a un perro en la casa de sus dueños en una situación especial pero mi interés principal es caminar los perros en el area
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I am starting graduate school and I have a flexible schedule and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge
Tracy and Steven are amazing. Being able to go away knowing Andi was is great hands was such a weigh lifted off my shoulders. I really appreciated all of the updates and pictures. A great experience all around and without a doubt will use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their pups!!!

trustworthy and reliant 👍🏼 Melissa took care of my yorkie babies & my daughter’s basenji. I was not sure at the beginning because Basenjis could be difficult to handle if you have no experience with the breed. Melissa gracefully and patiently gave Belle a chance to warm up to her and everything worked out on day 2 She treated the 3 dog babies like they were her own I felt at peace that somebody like her was taking care of the fur babies while I was away Thank you Melissa

Kyra was amazing! She was able to help out last minute and even came twice in one day to walk and feed our pup who absolutely loved her. She is super sweet, a very proactive communicator and took great care of our fur baby. We would highly recommend her for all your pets needs and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much!

Mark answered my request on short notice and really helped me out. He is very friendly and trustworthy. He always showed up exactly on-time and was very careful with my dogs. I needed to ask him to let himself in and feed my dogs in addition to the original request just to walk them and he had no problem doing exactly what I needed his help with. I will definitely be requesting him next time I need dog care. I highly recommend him.

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.
