About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 6 years old. One of my beloved dogs was part of my family for 20 wonderful years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog's life—from energetic puppyhood to senior care. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Since I work from home most of the time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I only host one family's pets at a time, so your dog will enjoy a calm, clean, and low-stress environment with personalized care. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions, and any special requests. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in caring hands. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, daily walks, playtime, and lots of companionship. I only host one family's pets at a time, so your dog will receive my full attention in a calm and comfortable home environment. I'm also happy to follow your dog's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a very pet-friendly community with spacious green areas, scenic walking trails, and multiple nearby dog parks, making it a wonderful place for daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. Since I only host one family's pets at a time, your dog will enjoy a calm, personalized experience with plenty of attention and companionship. Every outdoor walk is on a secure leash, and I'll provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in caring hands.

“Marli has been taking our dog on weekly walks for several months and she has house-sat for us on multiple occasions as well. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with since Day 1. She is quick to respond, always prompt, and most importantly, our dog really enjoys spending time with her. We have a large dog that has medical needs and she can sometimes be difficult when getting to know new people. Marli demonstrated tremendous patience and kindness with her and she was able to gain her trust as a result. We are incredibly grateful for that. We would HIGHLY recommend Marli to anyone looking for a kind, passionate, and highly communicative caretaker for their pet. Thanks Marli :)”

About: Hi, I’m Jun! I’ve cared for pets from quick drop-in visits to living in a friend’s home for over a year as a “temporary cat mom.” I treat every pet like my own—keeping their routine exactly the same, making sure they feel safe and loved, and sending lots of updates so you never feel far away. I’m experienced with cats (including vet visits, meds, and emergencies) and have also cared for dogs with feeding and walks. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or long walks in the park, your pets will get my full attention, gentle care, and plenty of affection while you’re away. 🐾 I’m a hybrid-working designer, so I can fit in weekday visits for pets I already know well. For new furry friends, I like to start on weekends—this way, they have more time and space to feel comfortable with me, and I can get to know their personality at a relaxed pace. I’ve found this makes our first meeting happier and less stressful for everyone. I'm always happy to discuss you and your pet's unique needs in advance! and I provide only the level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I live in a spacious apartment by my own in Jersey City. I can also go to client’s home to visit daily if the cat preferred to be at his/ her own home.

About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve.

I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I always take into account the priorities of the pet owner to ensure that I give the best care to their pets. I want to provide the best care for them so I ask detailed questions. That way the pets are getting the best care possible! I am currently in grad school full time and not working, so this will be my only other priority. I can be flexible as long as I have a day's worth of notice I ask detailed questions in order to ensure that I take care of the pets as per the owner's request. That way both of us are on the same page.

About: I’ve had a puppy since he was a few months old and he is now 10 and i help my family take care of two other puppies. I love long walks or runs and will be available around the clock because I work from home. I work from home so will be available around the clock. I am also into fitness so I love runs and walks. I make sure to make food for them weekly but I do also follow meal plans as needed. I have 3 dogs total however I don’t have a yard so I walk them constantly with the help of my family. I am strict on dietary needs for them because I love a healthy dog. So any scheduled feeding is good. Also available throughout the day.

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I provide to every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and specific needs, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m comfortable providing basic training reinforcement, exercise, feeding, medication reminders, and attentive care for both young and senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, still learning the basics, or needs a little extra patience and support as they get older, I adapt my approach to them. I treat every pet as I would my own with patience, consistency, affection, and genuine care. I work remote and part-time. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m able to build walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and quality time into my schedule while maintaining consistency with each pet’s normal routine. I’m also flexible with different schedules and care needs, whether that means an energetic puppy who needs extra activity, a senior pet who needs a slower pace, or a pet who simply needs companionship while their owner is away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and basic training while giving each pet plenty of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I also take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, habits, age, and needs so I can provide customized care just as I would for my own pet. I have a small poodle who loves to make new friends, and we can head down to my community dog park downstairs or park up the block. My apartment is dog friendly, spacious, and includes a high fenced balcony for some fresh air. We also share toys if wanted!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 9 years, starting with my own dog and then helping care for pets in my family. Over the years, I’ve really grown to love spending time with dogs, whether we’re playing, hanging out, or giving them plenty of love and attention. At my home, dogs have a safe, big, green backyard with plenty of room to run and play, plus a large living area for indoor fun, relaxing, and belly rubs on those rainy days. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, comfortable, and right at home! I can take care of dogs most days, as I am usually at home taking care of my own dog. I am usually always available. My home offers up a big backyard for your dogs to run around and play in. The living room is also spacious, so dogs can play around in their if it gets too hot out.

About: Hi, I’m Aria! I’m a JC local who enjoys taking care and showing love to all animals. My love for animals started back when I volunteered to dog walk and help find dogs and cats a home at a shelter back in Charleston, SC. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors fur babies. When people thank me, I thank them back because petting any fur baby gives me all the dopamine I need. I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).

I just want to say how wonderful Anna was with my very anxious pup, Brooks. I had asked if she could help me take him for a few hours while I was moving to a new apartment knowing Brooks would not do well with the chaos. She was very patient with him, allowed him to take his time getting to the park he was familiar with and provided me with photos and updates every hour to ensure that I knew how he was doing. I really appreciate all your help, Anna, and look forward to working with you again in the future!

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 Harrison. 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 Harrison 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 Harrison. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
