“Vic has been an amazing dog walker this last week. Our puppy Bruce comes back happy and sleepy after his hour long walks with Vic each day. He’s very professional, easy to communicate with, takes great pics and gives a report back each day. Highly recommend him for your pups dog walking or care taking needs!”

“Angela is such a kind human being and you can tell how much she loves animals. It can be an uneasy thing letting someone else care for your pet, but with Angela we don't even think twice about it. She walked our dog once a day while we were at work and despite him being a bit of a hyper puppy she handled him with grace. She's super professional and keeps you posted on everything. Love Angela!”

About: Hi, I'm Janise! Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to meet your pup and give them a home away from home. 😊 Feel free to reach out with any questions. I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐶🥰 I'm home full time on all holidays and school breaks, and my parents are home full time. My husband and I both have flexible work schedules, so we're in and out throughout the day, which means your pup is almost never alone. Between me, my husband, our kids, my parents, and our dog Frankie, it's a full house of animal lovers. We have a big backyard where the dogs can run and play, and we all pitch in to take care of them like they're part of the family. I keep each dog on their normal routine for meals, walks, and any meds. Our backyard gives them room to run and play, with supervise outdoor time. New dogs meet Frankie slowly so everyone feels comfortable. We can also do a meet and greet first so I can learn your dog's habits and personality.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pet. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, from playful, energetic pups to dogs who simply want a calm companion and lots of affection. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, special instructions, and all the little habits that make each dog unique. All breeds are welcome! I’ve had Pit Bulls in the past, and now I’m a dog mom to a Maltese, who somehow grew to be 19 pounds. I’m still not sure what happened there 😂. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away 🐾 I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. So I will always try to accommodate your pet’s walking/feeding schedule. You can always inquire about last minute/emergency arrangements Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, including dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, and loving companionship. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, and I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine in every visit. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep pets secure, and make sure their home is left clean and safe. I treat every home and pet with respect, care, and responsibility.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My grandmother had a special gift for rescuing stray dogs and cats, giving them the love and care they needed, and finding them forever homes. Growing up with her, there were times when our home was filled with 8 dogs and 5 cats, which gave me a lifelong love and deep appreciation for animals. I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver with hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and know how important it is to recognize signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet as an individual and strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel happy and cared for. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and compassion. I have an open schedule. So I am open to most requests, just need a few days notice before accepting your beloved pet in my home. I have a fenced house. There are no other dogs in the block so there won’t be no barking wars or intimidation when the pups go outside. I do have a cat in the home. I have a flexible schedule as a work freelance so I can adapt to the needs of each individual pet and owner. I have a 11 year old boy who is gentle and kind and has been around pets since he was born.

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.

About: I grew up with German Pointers. My first dog was introduced to me, when I was a baby in my crib... My family taught me to love and to respect all living creatures. I've been involved in animal rescue since I was a young child, and as an adult I've worked with animals through animal shelters, doggy day cares, boarding facilities, dog walking services...etc. I've rescued cats and dogs through fostering, TNR, and adoption. I currently have 3 rescue dogs, and 4 rescue cats. I treat animals with respect, and I love them unconditionally. My pets, and those I care for are members of my family. I treat each animal as an individual with respect for their personality, temperament, needs they may have, and they own individual traits. It's what I do on daily basis. I am actively involved in animal rescue through fostering as well as on going TNR projects around NJ and NY. I approach every pet as an individual with their own temperament and their particular needs. An animal in my care doesn't differ from my own pets. All are treated with love and with respect.

About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats, including high energy pups like german shepherds. I have two cats myself and have taken care of them since they were kittens. I also have experience house sitting and dog walking puppies to middle aged dogs. I currently work from home multiple days of the week and am able to check-in on and/or walk pets as needed throughout the day. I am also available to check-in and/or walk pets every day, before and after work. I am free every weekend, and am happy to accommodate my schedule as needed to take care of your pets! I will take proper care of your pet when they are under my care, including ensuring that dogs are leashed during walks, fostering positive reinforcement, and cleaning up the house to ensure a comfortable environment while you are away. Whenever meeting a new pet, I always make sure to slowly introduce myself and keep myself to their energy level to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. While care will be tailored to your needs and expectations, I intend to make 2-4 visits a day and ensure they get adequate play, food, and potty breaks. I am happy to do a meet and greet with your pet prior to providing care as needed!

About: I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and making sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need while staying safe on walks. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I follow any specific instructions closely, reinforce good leash manners, and adjust each walk to match the dog’s pace and needs. I also provide updates so owners know their dog is happy and in good hands. As a college student and dancer, I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walking into my daily routine. I’m typically available between classes and rehearsals, especially during mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I’m currently saving up for an upcoming surgery, so I’m very motivated, reliable, and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care. Dog walking fits perfectly into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy the time outdoors while making sure each dog gets the attention and exercise they need. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routes, and any specific preferences or needs. I always make sure dogs are safely leashed, hydrated, and comfortable during and after walks. I’m very mindful of each dog’s environment and behavior, keeping a close eye on surroundings to ensure their safety at all times. I also respect my clients’ homes, keeping things clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to build trust and give peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've had experience watching, cleaning after, playing, and caring for both large and small dogs at a doggy daycare. I have also rescued and caretake street kittens around my neighborhood. I am interested in working both full-time and part-time. I can do mornings and afternoons almost every day of the week and on weekends. Monday is the only day I am unavailable because of my class. I own a small doodle puppy and a indoor bicolor cat; along with two more cats I've recused and adopted. I take care of them with food, drink, love, and care as if they were my own kids.

About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for dogs and puppies across every stage of life — tiny learners discovering the world, energetic adolescents building good habits, and sweet seniors who move at a gentler pace. I’m experienced in training support, reinforcing routines, and providing thoughtful senior care that honors each pet’s comfort, mobility, and dignity. One of my greatest abilities is earning genuine trust. I move with intention, speak softly, and let pets come to me on their own terms. My patience is exceptional — the kind that helps anxious, shy, or cautious animals feel safe enough to open their hearts. Whether I’m guiding a puppy through new skills or supporting an older dog through slow, tender moments, I show up with calm confidence and deep respect. I’ve always believed animals — like children — are some of the world’s greatest gifts. Their honesty, purity, and emotional intelligence inspire me every day. If I could rewrite my career, I’d be a veterinarian. But even as a project manager, my long‑term dream is to work in a field that protects animals and contributes to their preservation. Caring for your pet isn’t just a service to me — it’s a calling. I honor their individuality, their needs, and their spirit with warmth, consistency, and genuine love. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I’m always attentive, present, and able to give pets consistent care, supervision, and guaranteed genuine connection. All I need is my laptop! From anywhere, I create a calm, structured environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow all routines exactly as given, keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and maintain a clean, hazard‑free space. I’m attentive, gentle, and always present — especially since I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. Pets feel safe with me because I move slowly, respect boundaries, and build trust through consistency and patience. As a project manager, structure is very important to me

Levi got to spend time with Claire again, and I couldn’t be happier! ❤️ Claire always takes such amazing care of Levi and sends me tons of pictures throughout his stay, which I absolutely love! Today, she even took Levi to the dog park, and I could tell he had the best time! What truly amazes me is how Claire treats Levi like her own. She introduced him to all her friends, and instead of leaving Levi home alone, she had her friends come over to her place so she could stay with him. That honestly touched my heart so much. It’s so rare to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as much as you do, and Claire is exactly that person. She is, without a doubt, my number one sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Guttenberg is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 of October 2026, there are 28,564 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Guttenberg. 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 your Guttenberg. 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 , 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 Guttenberg 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Guttenberg. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
