Dog Walking Highland Park

“Kristen is amazing! She was very patient and caring through my dog's transition of getting to know a new person.”

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a 60 lb Labrador Retriever, whom I raised from puppyhood. During that time, I learned how to understand dog behavior, body language, exercise needs, and daily routines at every stage of life. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every pet has its own unique personality. I take the time to build trust, whether a pet is playful, shy, or needs extra patience. Although I no longer have my Labrador, the experience gave me a strong foundation in responsible pet care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following each owner’s instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a faculty at Rutgers, and most of my teaching is online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time at home. This makes it easy for me to provide pets with regular attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives consistent supervision and the care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly two-bedroom apartment near downtown New Brunswick. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Laura is great with dozer. He has recently been having some health issues and she has been very sensitive to needs and always communicates with me about his energy level and vibe for the day. Her help and consistency is greatly appreciated!”

“Jasmin was there for my baby Luna as I started a new job. So grateful for her. She made sure Luna went outside to walk even when Luna didn’t really want to.”

“Was the first time we used rover and didnt wanna leave our baby girl alone while we ate dinner so we decided to book with him. He was able to get our pup walked with a quick booking process and had great communication the whole time.”

About: I brought my rescue dog, mochi, home when I was 11, and raised him till he was 18! Mochi gave me lots of experience of how to properly care for a senior dog. Ever since he passed away, I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs and cats. I always have lots of fun and decided to make it my side hustle:) I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your pets lots of love and attention. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate to when your pets need to stay at my home. My apartment door, windows, and main building door are always locked. I will make sure your pets get well fed on time and always have clean water ready. I love cuddles and walking!

About: Hi! I’m Quin. I grew up with cats, dogs, a bunny, and was a member of an Alpaca 4-H club since I was in 3rd grade, I don’t know a world without animals. I genuinely love getting to know people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. My current house currently boasts four cats of various ages, from kittens to an old lady, and a young Australian Shepherd mix. Because of this, I'm very comfortable with both cats, dogs, and households that have multiple pets. I've also spent a large part of my life caring for senior animals and pets who need a little extra attention. I've managed medications, special diets, frequent potty breaks, and other individualized care, including caring for a previous dog with a seizure disorder. My approach to pet care is to meet each animal where they are. I love matching their energy, whether that means a long walk and plenty of playtime, some quiet companionship, or simply giving a shy pet the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I'm detail-oriented and happy to follow specific routines and care instructions because I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is being cared for exactly the way you would care for them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and cat sitting. I'm happy to care for pets who need extra attention or have special routines, and I always want to make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend looking after them while you're gone. If that sounds like the kind of pet care you need, please reach out to me! I am currently a part-time student with another job on top of Rover, so please take a look at the calendar to book with me! Pet safety is my top priority. I am familiar with dealing with cats and dogs who don't get along and make sure not just to stop dangerous scenarios but also to prevent them altogether.

About: I’ve grown up walking, feeding, cleaning up after, and caring for my 2 big dogs and 2 cats. It became my favorite part of my days, and I want to extend this love to more animals! I’m a university student whose currently home for the summer, and have a lot of flexibility for weekdays and weekends, excluding Mondays & Tuesday’s from 3-6! I don’t provide services within my own residence but can help with any care within one’s home: walking, feeding, cleaning up after, general pet-sitting, or just one-on-one dog/cat time!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life and have cared for two dogs, giving me years of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve also dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors, making sure their pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs exercise, companionship, or a consistent routine, I’ll provide the loving care they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work from home most days, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On the 1–2 days a week I go into the office, I plan ahead with early morning and evening care to ensure pets stay on their normal routine. I also stay communicative with pet parents so they always know their pet is safe and well cared for, even on my busier days. I don’t have dogs at home, and I live in an apartment with a large lawn and also live close to a park, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, potty breaks, and playtime. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and exercise. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and stick to the pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

“Alyssa was amazing with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Moose! We did a meet & greet first to make sure he wasn't too big for them to walk, at 102 lbs it can be intimidating, but it went great. They sent wonderful photos and updates during every walk, which gave me total peace of mind. Moose was so happy and tired after. I'll definitely book again!”

About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and a variety of other animals since I was a teenager. I love every animal and I'm comfortable administering medications and working with senior animals I'm off for the summer from college, so I'm free all summer to take care of animals! I can walk or care for animals any time of day I am able to spend any amount of time with animals that they need, providing playtime and attention, and I will walk them at any time!

About: I have 4 years experience dog sitting in South Jersey! I have experience working as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility and now work with farm animals on the Rutgers Farm! I have, on multiple occasions, house sat as well for far away jobs. I have 6 years of fostering experience. This includes cats, dogs, ferrets, tarantulas, and hamsters. I spend lots of time shadowing and interning in veterinary settings to gain experience prior to veterinary school. I juggle Rover with a part-time job and being a full time student. My flexibility depends on the time of year because of this but, usually, I am willing to travel up to 20 minutes for check ins/walks and house sit further away. When I’m taking care of your pets, that is my complete focus. My top priority is keeping your pets as stress-free, happy, and healthy as possible, and I will try to accommodate in any way you ask.

About: I have always had a love for animals. I had own and dog, and currently have beautiful, amazing, cat. I do not have any formal training. I am just an animal lover in life. My main priorities are the health, wellness, and happiness of your pets. They are family. I’m available on weekends and for late nights during the week. I work a hybrid schedule, and with enough notice, I’m very flexible and happy to work something out. My home is clean, safe, and well-maintained. I’m also happy to provide any supplies or items your pet may need upon request. We can work together

“Anna is great. She understands dog behavior and is very nice to my dog. It didn't take long for my reactive dog to warm up to her.”

Mae C.

“Ashley did phenomenal and went above and beyond when I needed someone in rather short notice. She always kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures of my pup while I was away. She is able to easily establish a great connection with animals. You can tell she has a genuine compassion and love for animals, especially when they are apart from their owner. Ashley is very professional, friendly, and skillful at caring for animals. Despite having a prior engagement to attend a wedding, she came back afterwards late at night to care for my dog when my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Ashley as she is an excellent care giver.”

About: I grew up with dogs and helped raise two litters of bernese mountain dog puppies. Six years ago, I adopted my own dog, Harley, who is a vizsla/catahoula leopard dog mix. Through my experience caring for Harley, I’ve acquired skills to help fearful dogs enjoy walks and adventures while helping dogs learn to feel safe and secure in their environments. I am currently a graduate student and have a very flexible schedule for dog walking! Walking dogs is one of the best parts of my day! I care for my client’s dogs the same as I do my own. Building trust with dogs through patience and kindness will set a strong foundation for many fun times together!

About: I have fostered over 20 puppies/small dogs in San Diego for the last 2 years and moved to NYC. I have my own Chihuahua terrier mix baby, NooNoo, who has epilepsy so I am familiar with giving medicine and constant attention. I have taken care of friends' cats and dogs for more than 3 weeks. I love taking pictures so I will always provide constant updates if requested. I work remotely so I am available most days and can provide walks, cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and attention. I work from home so I am available at most times. I will be in contact and can send pictures frequently. I love all animals and will be happy to spend time with your fur-friend :) I love animals and it will be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I am a great communicator and will always send updates. I will play with your pet and give them scratches and whatever else is needed.
