“Mike was professional, arrived right on time, and took the time during our meet-and-greet to learn our dog’s routine and quirks. She enjoyed her walk and highly recommend Mike.”
“Alondra was a huge help in getting Phoebe's daily walks in! Always right on time and sent pictures and details. She provided us peace of mind and we'd be happy for her to watch Phoebe in the future!”
“Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.”
“First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.”

About: Throughout my life I’ve helped to care for dogs dealing with lifelong epilepsy to elderly dogs to extra large dogs that are deathly afraid of stairs. I have also previously worked in a pet store so I have experience with a wide range of animals. I currently have a dachshund and do everything within my power to help avoid future back problems like dachshund are notorious for and hope to also help you and your pet needs. I currently have a very flexible schedule and already enjoy taking my dog for walks whether it be around the block or a 5k around the park and would love to see where your little one fits in. With dachshunds being notorious for back problems I start the day by giving him a little back massage before taking him out I like to keep a tidy environment to ensure pups don’t get into anything they shouldn’t . I also have a large fenced in yard and two large outdoor kennels to allow dogs to play.
“Lana is Great with my puppy Frankie. He’s strong and can be a bit of a puller. Lana has no problems handling him. I get updates and pictures of my boy. I can also count on her if I need an extra walk. -Amanda”

Staying active with our doodle is an integral part of our daily routine and we would love to have even more walks, games of fetch, and tricks + treats to look forward to! We LOVE to love on your pet! In our home you can expect a minimum of two 20-minute walks a day, plus more upon request and some leash time in our back yard if they like to hang out and observe the world. We are big proponents of fetch and chase.
“Elizabeth did a terrific job caring for my 2 dogs. She was on time for all walks and kept me informed about all details of her visits with pictures and description of what they had done. She is very neat and efficient. I would definitely recommend her for pet walking and care. Thank you again ??”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I put into every visit. I’m a dedicated sitter with experience watching up to three dogs at one time, making sure each pet feels valued and never overlooked. I take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and comfort levels so they feel safe, calm, and truly at home while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving plenty of playtime, or creating a relaxing environment, my priority is always your pet’s comfort and well-being. You can trust that your pets will be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but I’m always available for early-morning walks before work, and I’m typically home from the office around 4 p.m. to handle evening walks, feeding, and playtime. I also work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide extra attention, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. Your pets will get consistent care and a reliable routine they can count on. In my home, your dog will have plenty of company—my own dog and my roommate’s dog are both friendly and love having a new playmate around. We live near a park, so the dogs get plenty of chances to run, explore, and burn off energy. I also keep everything organized with a shared board where I track each dog’s walk times, potty breaks, and feeding schedule. This helps ensure your pet stays on a consistent routine and receives attentive, reliable care. Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety, structure, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for.

I follow care routines closely and use positive, effective methods like clicker training for happy, well-behaved pets I am a college student so I currently have open availability for your pet care needs and assistance Day time or night time ! ! I follow your pet’s routine or create a gentle, comforting one—walks, play, brushing, clicker training, and lots of love, care, attention, patience, and positive reinforcement.
About: Throughout my life I have owned many pets! This includes dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, ferrets, gerbils, and even guinea pigs! I love them all! I am experienced in giving medication and caring for senior pets as well. If you’re looking for a bonus grandma to help care for your fur baby, I’m your gal! I live with four dogs and one cat so I am very accustomed to having pets as a part of my daily routine. I am also a retired grandmother, so I have plenty of free time on my hands! Whatever your pet needs, I’ll be able to provide! Small dogs can easily be taken for a walk and played with, cats can easily be entertained with toys and lots of snuggles.
“Julie is fantastic! Such a relief to find someone who takes just as good of care of my baby when I’m gone. Punctual for his walks every week, sends pictures of what they’re up to, and I trust her care with him 100%. My dog loves Julie and is excited to see her every time she stops in! If you don’t trust me, trust him!”

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 Hopatcong. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
