About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have BA from Rutgers and AAS in Veterinary nursing. I passed the National veterinary technician boards in 1999. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School as an ICU, fluid therapy and neurology nurse practitioner. I trained veterinary students, veterinary nursing student and worked with clinical residents and attending veterinarians. I have experience with senior pets, pets with ambulatory challenges, pets requiring medications and sick pets. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets including birds, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, hamsters, rats, mice and fish, and other reptiles. I’d love to help care for your pets! As a pet mommy myself I know how important it is to have a trusted care giver when you can’t be home. I am currently very flexible and can have plenty of availability to meet your needs. It will be easy to work with your busy schedule. I am willing to provide the care your pet needs, whether it’s walks, yard play or just sitting with them if they are older and need company. You tell me what they need or like!
About: With 6 years of hands-on dog ownership and experience caring for friends’ pups, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, loving care guaranteed! Your pet will feel at home with me. With a hybrid work schedule and a 5-minute commute, I’m perfectly set up to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. On work-from-home days, your pet has my company all day. On office days, I’m close enough to pop home during breaks to check in and care for them. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or visiting theirs, I prioritize their comfort and well-being above everything. I follow their existing routine to keep them settled, provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, and plenty of playtime. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in safe hands.
“Very pleasant and reliable. Can’t say enough about Yana. When it’s time for Zeus’s walk he sit by the dog waiting eagerly. She is great with my Zeus. Yana is great. I would highly recommend her”
“Wilson was wonderful. We are a big order given we have one anxious dog AND my 80yr old FIL likes to walk with his dogs. Wilson was gentle, kind, and patient with both the pups and Dad.”
“Ken was amazing! We had a last minute emergency and needed someone to walk our dog while we were gone and Ken answered almost immediately. He was so thorough, kind, and friendly. He sent pictures throughout his walk and kept us informed the whole time. We recommend hiring Ken and we will do so in the future. Thanks again!”
“Megan was great. Punctual, gave me continuous updates and never hesitated to ask me any questions to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely reach out again for more services and recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.
About: Owner of a 13yr Golden Retriever, 5yr Border Collie, and 2 guinea pigs. Knowledgeable in both daily care and proper overall health for all ages! I begin a new position as an Overnight Emergency Veterinary Technician on 6/22. Following this I will be available only weekends until I am fully trained. I will then be available Monday -Wednesday some time in July. At your home I will take your pet(s) on walks, provide enrichment, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their routine. As an aspiring veterinarian with veterinary technician experience, I understand the importance of patience, trust, monitoring behavior, while giving pets love and, attentive care.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—from raising rabbits, ducks, and parrots as a kid to caring for my own dogs today. I currently have two: a 12-year-old Pomeranian and a 4-month-old Border Collie puppy. Caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy herding breed has given me experience across all stages of a dog’s life—from patient senior care to structured puppy training. I’m very observant of each pet’s needs and behavior, which helps me notice if something seems off and respond with care. I’ve also cared for various breeds, including English Pointers and toy breeds, and I understand that each dog’s personality and routine are unique. I’m beginning formal obedience classes with my Border Collie to expand my training knowledge and apply positive, engaging methods with all the pets I care for. My goal is to make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away—just like I would want for my own pets. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. My routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs — a senior Pomeranian and a young Border Collie — with regular walks, playtime, training, and affection. Adding pet sitting and dog care to my daily schedule feels like a natural extension of what I already love doing. I make time each day for exercise, mental stimulation, and rest for the animals in my care, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether pets stay in my home or I visit theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with their own family. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest — and I always keep their comfort and well-being in mind. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervised playtime and affection. For in-home visits, I respect the owner’s space and care for pets according to their regular schedule to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep them mentally and physically active, and send frequent updates so owners always know their pets are happy and in good hands.
“We love Jennifer! She is kind, reliable, flexible, and great with our dog. I highly recommend her dog walking services. We have had her walk our dog numerous times and she continues to be one of our regularly scheduled dog walkers. Thank you Jennifer!”
About: Hi there! My name's Sarah and I'd love to get to know your pet! I have 10 years of previous pet sitting and dog walking experience that I'm looking to expand on with the option of controlling my own schedule. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds; and have no problem controlling an excited walker on the leash. I am the former owner of a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking business, Wags and Whiskers Pet Care. I closed my business in the summer of 2025 to return to school. I still love working with animals though! I will respond to your message as soon as possible, I am available for drop-ins, dog walking, and overnights. I can't wait to meet and care for your pet! I am available for care as needed aside from Wednesday and Thursday, when I will be available at 10:30am, and Tuesday when I will be available after 1pm. I like to make sure your pet can get any extra energy out, whether that be by playing or walking. I am skilled in administering medications to pets and am able to take care of any additional needs the pet may have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hillsborough on Rover is $10.7 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Hillsborough. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hillsborough.

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 Hillsborough. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
