“Sydney was great with Atlas. She was punctual, professional, personable and a went above and beyond to ensure my pup was comfortable and enjoyed his walk with her.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾
“Kobi is great! My dog has been transitioning to a new space and he has had a lot of anxiety. Kobi entered my apartment and sat down and waited for Henry to become comfortable! I really appreciated that and will continue to use her just for that small gesture. Thanks Kobi!”
“Walden took very good care of our pups while we were away. They have some special needs and it was good to know everything went well and he listened to my instruction. Would definitely book again!”

About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like.

“Maria has been such a wonderful and conscientious dog walker!- i wish that I could keep her, but we are moving to another town. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I love cats and dogs, so no matter what kind of furry friends you have, we will enjoy our time together! I'm a professional dancer working in the mental health field, so I understand how important our animals can be to our lives. I am mostly free on the weekends, but I am also free after work ends at 5pm. I am very good at engaging the animals when necessary and calming them when needed, too! I have two cats at home and have taken very good care of them. I know the psychology of introducing two animals so they get along together. I had a dog when I was younger and took him on many walks. Although he was small, I have pet sat for chocolate labs and poodles, so I have experience with all kinds of animals! Do not hesitate to ask me any questions! I'd be happy to look after your pets! I have two 10 month old kittens that are brother and sister, so I feed them and take care of them every day. I have a whole set up with scratching posts, cat couches, and more to make them feel at home. I always ensure to keep unsafe objects and foods out of the reach of animals. This includes any personal items like medications. I also ensure to calmly redirect any unwanted behavior in the home through play.
“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.”
“Lailah, walked our dog morning and night for five days in a row when I got hit with COVID. She did a fantastic job and really saved the day! Communicating was always easy, she was very nice, and my dog LOVED her. She would get so excited to see her each time. It was clear that she had good dog energy. I highly recommend trusting her with your pet. We will totally reach out again in the future. She did a fabulous job!!”
“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!”

About: Hello my name is Nicholas and I'm a pet loving, experienced dog walker. I just received my first 5 star rating. I take great pride in providing the best pet care possible for my clients. Besides having pets growing up I was the only child. So I fully understand the value of a pet as a member of the family. I'm a full time pet care provider but more over we're a family owned business. So we provide pet care in McGinley Square and in Society Hill. Essentially we walk, board, pet visit, and doggy daycare all week. Plus on holidays. We have a backyard so the guys get run some laps and get in some much needed quality time. Plus we literally take group photos. Plenty of belly rubs to give out and fresh Poland Spring for the modern active doggo.

Jersey City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Great experience! Our dog walker was reliable, communicative, and very caring with Sienna. He always kept us updated. We really appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
We had a fantastic experience with Isaac. We reached out very last minute after getting rejected a few times, and he accepted our request right away. We are new to the area and still trying to find reliable walkers and sitters, so his quick response meant a lot. He was super communicative from the start and even agreed to a meet and greet the same day as the walk. We found out he already walks another dog in our building, which immediately made us feel more comfortable. He was friendly, personable, and incredibly accommodating. I accidentally switched the times on the request, and he still made it work with only minor adjustments. Isaac was open and honest, sent great photos, and took wonderful care of our pets. We truly lucked out that he accepted our last minute request. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring walker.
Kelly was amazing! She walked my dog 6 times over a weekend and was on time, reliable, and brought great energy every single visit. She kept me constantly updated with videos, which made being away so much easier. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again!
Alexandra stayed at my place and took such good care of my dog (and my place). She sent daily updates and sent pics of their adventures throughout her stay. I found her on Rover and chose her based on reviews. I had an emergency situation so I could not meet her in person and instead we had a video chat. I couldn’t recommend her enough! My pup loved her. Would highly recommend her to others. Thank you!
We love having Talita walk our dog Pistachio! She is so attentive, friendly, and always follows our instructions for Pistachio. She sends great updates and the cutest photos. We can always rely on Talita to be punctual and take amazing care of our puppy! Could not recommend Talita more. She’s the best!!!
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.
