“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!”
About: Hi! My name is Tori and I just graduated from Boston University! I grew up with dogs, hamsters, birds, frogs, fish, and cats. I absolutely love and missed taking care of them so much while I was away. I’d be so happy to take care of your pets too! I can take them on walks, feed them, check in on them, and keep them company whenever you need! My dog Nikki loves when I hold her and sing to her, so maybe yours will too! Not to brag, but I also give the best belly rubs! I am currently working a part-time job, so I can provide excellent care for your pets as soon as I am available! I work mostly in the early mornings. I am completely open to your care needs. I can take your pets on walks, feed them, keep them active and entertained, and most importantly, make sure they feel loved in your absence!
“Dong is an absolutely amazing dog walker! He has been walking my pup for the past ten days, and he has been incredibly understanding and flexible, especially during the chaos of my home renovations. Dong has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring my pup gets plenty of exercise and is always happy and well-cared for. I'm so grateful for his reliability and dedication. I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog 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.”
About: I’ve grown up with a dog companion, and that experience translated into caring for my friend’s Australian Shepherd while he traveled during the seven months I lived in Philadelphia. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of watching my two kittens grow into the sweetest cats, now two years old. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Your pets will be in good hands with me! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines, whether your pet needs a morning walk, some afternoon companionship, or evening care. I’ll work with you to make sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I also understand that caring for your pet means being respectful of your home and your trust. If you’d like, I’m happy to send you pictures and updates during my visits so you can see how your furry friend is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Alison did a great job popping in to walk our pup, Rooster! She provided daily walk updates, was responsive, kind and easy to work with. Most of all you can tell she really loves the dogs! Would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Alison!!”
“I’m so happy I found Liwei! He’s been wonderful with Shea and communicates exceptionally well. I really appreciate how responsive he is, and his experience handling larger breeds gave me complete confidence. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Alex and Kate have been amazing! I’m new to Jersey City and finding a dog walker for my pups was at the top of my to do list when I got here. Alex and Kate have been so great! They took time to get to know my dogs at a meet and greet and were so patient with my timid guy. They have sent me pictures and let me know how the walks are going. They have also had great communication. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker!!”
“Sydney is amazing with my Benji. She’s communicative, attentive, and truly cares about my pup. I always know he’s in good hands with her. Highly recommend Sydney!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, including two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I currently have my own 9-month-old French Bulldog who is very well-socialized, friendly, and comfortable around other dogs. I also have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs and puppies. I helped with a litter of 9 Frenchie puppies, assisting with feedings, cleaning, potty time, daily care, and eventually helping with their training as they grew. I’ve also cared for up to 6 Frenchies at once and have experience managing feeding routines for multiple dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand how important patience, consistency, attention, and safety are when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pup in my care to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐾❤️ I have free time all the time as I work from home and are doing online schooling in my last year of undergrad at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I have a spacious apartment with a 100 square foot balcony that is turfed and routinely cleaned area for my French Bulldog to potty if needed. I take my dog out every 4 hours on a walk. We have a park a block away from my apartment.
“Ronald and Tati are very nice, and very knowledgeable about dogs. Tati was able to bond with my dog who has trust issues and is reactive. I will continue using their services for the long term”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my patience and my ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and acquaintances while they were traveling. I am especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs with cardiac conditions. I understand the importance of routine, close observation, and giving medications carefully and on time. I always follow the owner’s instructions in detail to ensure each dog’s health and well-being. I also have experience working with puppies. I know how to keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, while maintaining structure and safety. In addition, I have some experience with positive reinforcement training, focusing on patience, consistency, and encouragement rather than punishment. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so every dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely and manage my own schedule, which allows me to be flexible and fully available to meet each pet’s needs. I have plenty of time to provide attention, regular walks, playtime, and any additional care a dog may require throughout the day. I’m able to adapt my routine to match the pet’s usual schedule, whether that involves frequent breaks, quiet companionship, or more active moments. Most importantly, I truly enjoy the company of animals and value the time spent with them, making pet care not just a responsibility, but something I genuinely love doing. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before welcoming them into my space. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I closely supervise them, maintain consistent feeding and walking schedules, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a safe space to rest. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to details and adapt my care to each pet’s needs, whether they require extra patience, a quieter environment, or more frequent check-ins. I prioritize gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement at all times, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in responsible and caring hands.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with my own dog and have also helped family and friends with walking, feeding, and daily care. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pups feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m available on weekends Thursday-Saturday, needing only a one day heads up to plan. Perfect for pet parents that need pet care on the weekends! I always treat pets and homes with the same respect I would my own. In your home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow your instructions carefully and provide dependable, trustworthy care so you can feel confident while you’re away.
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.

10/10!!! I'm so grateful I came across Katherine's profile! She is kind, pays attention to details, reliable and goes above and beyond! Bluey (my dog) had a fun time on her walk and was super tired afterwards, and empty - she didn't have to go out again for a long time. I already booked more walks with her, thank you Katherine!!
Andrew was a lifesaver. I don't think I have ever seen Andrew and Spiderman in the same room together, and that's the level of heroism he has displayed as our, from now on, designated dogwalker. He was responsive, highly communicative, and flexible. I will always go to Andrew first whenever the need arises.
Isaac was amazing as always, but somehow exceeded our expectations again this time. We had a friend flying in with her dog and needed to add him to the booking. Isaac was incredibly accommodating, had no issues at all, and even guided me through the process of adding him to the profile. This dog was new to Isaac and has a few unique quirks of his own, but Isaac handled everything flawlessly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our friend's dog was in such capable hands. We also ended up needing to shorten one of the walks, and once again Isaac was extremely accommodating and flexible without any hesitation. We've used Isaac multiple times, and every experience has been outstanding. He is reliable, caring, communicative, and always goes above and beyond. We truly appreciate everything he does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Jersey City on Rover is $25.53 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 28,835 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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
