“Eduardo is very thoughtful in how he approaches and walks Teddy. I really appreciate that he’s taken the time to get to know Teddy’s quirks and habits to make sure he has a great experience on his walks. He’s also very communicative, which I really appreciate! I look forward to having Eduardo spend more time with Teddy on his walks!”
“It was great meeting Liwei! He took wonderful care of Rio and, just as importantly, was patient in doing a proper meet-and-greet with the whole family to understand the environment Rio lives in. That thoughtfulness really put us at ease. Rio was in great hands, and we’d highly recommend Liwei to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. Looking forward to booking again!”
“Kobi has been walking Baxter for over a week now and she is great! Professional, attentive and flexible! Kobi has taken very good care of Baxter. Thank you for your great service!”
“I am a repeat customer. Dong is very reliable when it comes to trusting him with my dog. He is professional, punctual and poilte with me and my dog. I definitely would book again and recommend him to other clients as well.”
“Kaitlin was great with Cody, our senior cockapoo. I left Cody with my senior parents and Kaitlin walked him 2x a day for 10 days. I would definitely book her services again.”
“Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.”
“Sydney has been an excellent dog walker for Tucker! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Tucker is always excited to see her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”
“Ana from the beginning was quick and responsive and willing to meet. She was attentive to asking all the right questions that made me feel more at ease in making my decision. She cared for my dog Zorro while my husband & I traveled, and updated me with pictures and questions along the way! Even though my two cats were not part of her duties, she was nice enough to update me on them. I plan on booking with Ana come further travels! Thank you once again.”
“Shaina is so kind and patient with the pups as they got used to her for the first day or two. One of my dogs can be moody and she handled him with grace and patience until he was comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Here's the updated version: Averi was fantastic! This was my first time booking a dog walker and she made the experience great. She took great care of Prince for our dog walking booking and went above and beyond: making sure his water and food were taken care of. I could tell she genuinely loves dogs. She took him on nice long walks and checked in with me whenever she had questions. Communication was easy and she was reliable and on time. Highly recommend her, will definitely be booking with Averi again.”
“Walks with Elyse have been a great addition to my dog’s weekly routine. Elyse is always prompt to pickup and truly makes my dog feel comfortable during his walks with her. I have additionally used her services for in-home visits for my cat while I’m out of town. I would highly recommend to her any pet owner needing any type of service!”
“10/10 would highly recommend! My pup was not easy to handle but Kate and Alex’s experience is top tier! Would definitely be booking again in the near future”
“Gabriela and Maidely have been wonderful with our dog. They are extremely knowledgeable about caring for pets. They are also incredibly kind, trustworthy and professional. We always know our dog is in great hands under their care.”
About: I’ve always had family pets, and Kaiser has been with me now for 10 years. I love meeting new animals, and I’ve never been intimidated by size or behavior, they are all friends to me! I like sitting with pets and giving them good cuddles and scratches when they warm up to me. Besides all that, I am highly reliable and available to communicate at all times. Right now I am working fully from home, and I make my own hours so I can organize my day around your pet’s needs. I can guarantee walks for dogs at least twice a day, certainly more as needed. My rented space does not have yard access, so boarding would be fully indoors between walks. I also have two cats and a dog, and while they all get along famously, if you’re uncertain how well your pet would share the space with mine, we can try a test meeting, or else I’m happy to do drop-in visits at your home.
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Brianna had so much patience with Milo as he gave her a hard time in the beginning. Within a few minutes, Milo was so comfortable and seemed to have loved her which just shows how great she was with him. I definitely recommend her and would trust her with Milo again.”

Emily was great with Betty and Bambi! I booked her for a 30 minute walk for the first time, and everything went really smoothly. The girls warmed up to her right away, which I think says a lot because you can tell she’s genuinely a dog person. She was very sweet, soft-spoken, and friendly, and I immediately felt comfortable with her. She also arrived a little early to meet us, which I really appreciated. Betty and Bambi seemed to really like her, and I’d definitely be happy to have her walk them again! 🐶❤️
Li has been wonderful with Shae. He takes excellent care of her, and I’ve seen firsthand how warmly they interact. Li genuinely cares about Shae’s well-being and treats her as if she were his own. When my sister deployed, I unexpectedly found myself caring for a big dog, and Li became an incredibly helpful and dependable go-to person. I’m truly grateful for his care and support!
Adrian is literally the best sitter I’ve ever had! He is extremely reliable, punctual and more importantly so gentle and was able to provide amazing care to my 14 year old dog Neo. It’s so hard to find someone as diligent and loving as Adrian! If you’re looking for peace of mind while you’re away, don’t hesitate! I’m glad I decided to trust him :)
Ana is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, warm, and caring person, and I can truly see that she takes care of Enzo as if he were her own dog. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that he is with someone who genuinely cares about him. I’m also incredibly grateful for Anna’s patience. Enzo is definitely not the easiest kid — he has a big personality and can be quite stubborn when he wants to be 😄 — but Ana is always patient, understanding, and gentle with him. I feel very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend Anna to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog
We are very pleased with our first experience with Charlotte! She was very communicative, which I appreciated and sent regular updates during her visit with our two pups. Everything went well on their walk and she was even able to handle our jack russell who is very skittish with new people! We will definitely be reaching out to book with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Jersey City on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 28,798 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jersey City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Jersey City. 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 Jersey City.

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 Jersey City. On Rover:
- 87% 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 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.
