About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“John was wonderful with both our dogs! He was on time, got to know them first, and won them over very quickly. Even our older dog who is very skittish took to John immediately for a walk this week. Would highly recommend!”
“Beth was an amazing pet sitter for a weekend that we were out of town! She was always on time, sent amazing pictures, and exactly followed the care instructions. We can home to very happy and healthy animals.”

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to provide attentive, compassionate care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My experience includes caring for pets with disabilities, administering medications, and supporting animals who require extra patience and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, gentle approach, I’m committed to meeting their individual needs. Services I offer: * 30-minute drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection * Overnight stays to keep your pet company and maintain their normal routine * 30-minute walks that start and end with cuddles, ensuring your furry friend gets both exercise and love I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal in my care like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing dependable, loving care you can count on! Im currently getting certified as an EMT so I have lots of free time for your furry friend! I am available every weekday and weekend nights! In your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established schedule. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines to help your pet feel secure while you’re away. I keep the environment clean, monitor your pet’s well-being, and provide regular updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Jessica was very kind to walk my dogs when I hurt my foot! She’s flexible and a great communicator, and my boys were happy and tired after their walk with her. Would definitely book again!”
“So highly recommend Nick for your dog walking / care needs . Nick constantly kept up with our ever growing/changing dog. We can’t say enough about the care and time that Nick had for him.”
“Tamara is so patient with our anxious dog! Our dog warmed up so quickly to Tamara and its a relief knowing our pup will be looking forward to walks while we are away at work. Tamara sends great updates and leaves notes to let us know how our dog is doing while we are at the office. She even came for a meet and greet to make sure our dog felt safe with her before her first walk.”
“Angelina is fantastic with Griffey! She is super communicative, punctual, and makes me feel at ease knowing he is in good hands. Love the updates and photos too; it’s clear she really cares. Highly recommend!!”
“This was my first time using Rover but we needed to find someone to walk Mason with me having to be at work more often. Mason loved Tanya and seeing that put my heart at ease. We will definitely be using Tanya moving forward. As a crazy dog mom having pictures sent to me while they were on a walk was everything 🥰”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands‑on experience with animals, both personally and professionally.

I give off “chill vibes” and will care for your pet as if they were my own!
About: Hi! I’m a nurse and lifelong dog and cat owner who truly understands how much your pets mean to you—they’re family. My background in nursing means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and calm in any situation, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands.

I’m very mindful of home safety as well: ensuring doors are secure, keeping a clean and calm space, and respecting your home as if it were my own. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I will communicate any changes or concerns right away. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care—so both you and your pet feel completely at ease. 🐾
About: I've had dogs most of my adult life. My first dog was a neighbors dog, she couldn't care for the dog any longer and I agreed to take the dog in my home. I have fed and cared for bird, cats and dogs when family and friend were on vacation. I work two days out of the month, therefore, I have more than enough time to play, walk and cuddle with pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can go out and play. I am not strict with pets unless there is a certain rule the owner wants me to apply to there pet.
“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Hillside is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillside
Elizabeth continues to be a very reliable and loving dog sitter, whom our dog adores! She not only walks Lily, but she plays with her on days that aren’t nice (their favorite game is soccer!) and takes the time to make sure she’s happy and cared for during each visit. Elizabeth watches our dog weekly, and we couldn’t be happier with her communication and the extra care she consistently puts in.
If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Elizabeth is truly exceptional. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. You can tell right away that she genuinely loves what she does—her connection with the dogs is natural and comforting. Elizabeth goes above and beyond on every walk. Whether it’s making sure routines are followed, giving extra attention when needed, or keeping you updated with thoughtful messages and photos, she brings a level of care that’s hard to find. It gives total peace of mind knowing your dog is not just being walked, but truly cared for. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and consistently exceeds expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—any dog would be lucky to have Elizabeth in their life!
Megan was such a great walker for our dog! She walked him 3x/week for 7 months. She was always on time, walked him for the full 30 minutes (regardless of how cold the weather was), and great at communicating if there were any schedule changes. We are so sad that Megan is moving and won’t be able to walk our dog anymore. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any of your dog needs!
My’Anna has been amazing! From the very start, she was quick to reply to our initial request, which gave us peace of mind that our dog would be taken care of. She’s been incredibly gentle and patient with our dog as well. It’s been great to see how Tamalito grows more comfortable with her- we even catch him waiting by the door for her visits on our cameras!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Hillside on Rover is $27.07 per walk (as of July 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 Hillside. 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 Hillside.

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 Hillside. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
