I love long walks or runs and will be available around the clock because I work from home. I work from home so will be available around the clock. I am also into fitness so I love runs and walks. I make sure to make food for them weekly but I do also follow meal plans as needed. I have 3 dogs total however I don’t have a yard so I walk them constantly with the help of my family. I am strict on dietary needs for them because I love a healthy dog. So any scheduled feeding is good. Also available throughout the day.

About: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.
About: Hello! My name is Danielle, I’m 18 years old, and I am an animal lover. I have a pretty flexible schedule, willing to walk and watch dogs on weekdays and weekends for the summer full-time. I’ve had experience taking care of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters for family and friends for the passed 5 years. I currently own and take care of 2 cats at home. I am a very clean person when it comes to cleaning up after dogs when they go for walks or if they have accidents in the house. I will always be willing to take care of dogs and have a great time with them, as well as comfort and play them 24/7 in order for them to be happy and of course, for their owners to be happy as well.

“We LOVE Maryann. Whenever we are away we know our dog Isabella is in GREAT hands. She treats our dog like she’s her own, and really gives her so much love and attention. We will always use Maryann to walk/watch our dog.”
About: Hi, I’m Aria! I’m a JC local who enjoys taking care and showing love to all animals. My love for animals started back when I volunteered to dog walk and help find dogs and cats a home at a shelter back in Charleston, SC. Since then, I’ve been taking care of my family, friends, and neighbors fur babies. When people thank me, I thank them back because petting any fur baby gives me all the dopamine I need. I’ll only confirm a dog-walk and dog sitting shift if I’m working from home and can guarantee I can be present with your fur baby •Affection (dogs love company that make them feel comfortable and loved). I’m always sure to make them feel seen and cared for. It can be tough on them being away from their caregiver. So affection goes a long way. •Making sure they’re fed & hydrated (always attending them according to their usual/specific routine).
About: Since birth, dogs have been an important part of my life. My family dogs have included labs, pointer/beagle mix, Pyrenees/Wheaten Terrier mix, and a Sheepadoodle. Some high energy (the doodle of course) and some lower (Pyrenees in his later years). I am an avid walker and hiker and am always attentive to my dog’s wants and needs on our adventures, no matter the age of the dog. Even at a young age I was very involved in the care of our family dogs, as well as interactions with the other pets. I also accompanied two of our dogs to doggy kindergarten and learned about different training techniques. I am used to roadtrips and camping with dogs as company in new and unfamiliar places. I am a recently graduated Masters student and freelance musician (trombone player), with a relatively fluid schedule week to week due to freelance commitments, which include musical theatre and orchestra work. I am most often free Monday-Friday mornings to midday 7:00am-2:00pm, as I am least likely to have playing obligations at those times and am looking to fill that time during which I already go for walks with dog bonding time! On walks, I provide ample time for sniffing as well as faster paced walks depending on the dog’s age and agility/energy levels. Additionally, play-time at home or at the dog park can be incorporated. I am attentive to changes in energy levels and body language throughout all walks.
About: Hi, I’m Jun! I’ve cared for pets from quick drop-in visits to living in a friend’s home for over a year as a “temporary cat mom.” I treat every pet like my own—keeping their routine exactly the same, making sure they feel safe and loved, and sending lots of updates so you never feel far away. I’m experienced with cats (including vet visits, meds, and emergencies) and have also cared for dogs with feeding and walks. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or long walks in the park, your pets will get my full attention, gentle care, and plenty of affection while you’re away. 🐾 I’m a hybrid-working designer, so I can fit in weekday visits for pets I already know well. For new furry friends, I like to start on weekends—this way, they have more time and space to feel comfortable with me, and I can get to know their personality at a relaxed pace. I’ve found this makes our first meeting happier and less stressful for everyone. I'm always happy to discuss you and your pet's unique needs in advance! and I provide only the level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I live in a spacious apartment by my own in Jersey City. I can also go to client’s home to visit daily if the cat preferred to be at his/ her own home.
About: Started my pet care career in 2018 at a local dog walking/training company in NJ. Ever since then I've gained the knowledge, experience, and most importantly the trust from dogs and their owners. I am excited to continue improving my skills in pet care. I love to go on long walks already so being able to share that with a dog or 2 makes it even better. It has such a great impact on my physical and mental health. I would typically try to have a few walks throughout the week. I have a medium size dog crate as part of the on-boarding training to help them learn boundaries and create a safe place for everyone. Depending on the environment and tendencies of the pup, I always keep an eye out for anything they could eat off the floor or make sure they don't chew on anything they shouldn't.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve also helped friends by caring for their pets in my home while they were away. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays for drop offs and walks, and I always make sure pets are fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of affection throughout the day. Im flexible so i can have pets over my place as well as the client place. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and routine are. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: We’re a young, pet-loving couple with experience caring for dogs—especially since we have a sweet 2-year-old Yorkiepoo at home! Your pup will always have a friendly companion to play with. We treat every dog like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and care. We’re patient, responsible, and love building trust with both pets and their people. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have a dog of our own! One of us is a teacher, so during the summer we’re available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. After summer break, we’re available Friday nights and weekends to give your pup the care they deserve. We care deeply about each dog and always follow the client’s requests closely. While we live in an apartment, we’re just steps away from a large park, so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time and walks. Whether at our home or yours, we provide attentive, loving care based on your dog’s unique needs and routine.
About: I will absolutely speak to your pup in a baby voice! It is likely that we will become friends immediately. I am a medical student and have had experience balancing my studies with caring for pups. I can help with a bit of training practice, play in the park near my place, or acclimate your dog to public spaces. Whatever your dog may need, I will provide it! I am currently a medical student! Most of my weekday is spent at the hospital, and I would love to unwind on a walk after work in between the study sessions. Although I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space for your pup and a crate if needed! No other dogs or animals, just a dog loving boyfriend.
About: I’ve taken care of my friend small and medium sized dogs when they are away for vacation and I always send them updates of how their pets are doing. Having to show the best experience of me being their dog sitter, they referred me to other friends of theirs to have me watch their pets while they are working or away. I’m currently working remotely F/T but can be available on my lunch breaks and on weekdays after 5 pm and weekends anytime of the day I have a spacious apartment with my 10 year old friendly Pomeranian who can keep your fur baby company. I make sure they are fed and walked as needed. I always like to keep the pet owner updated on their fur babies day to day activities so they have a peace of mind when they are taken care of.

I just want to say how wonderful Anna was with my very anxious pup, Brooks. I had asked if she could help me take him for a few hours while I was moving to a new apartment knowing Brooks would not do well with the chaos. She was very patient with him, allowed him to take his time getting to the park he was familiar with and provided me with photos and updates every hour to ensure that I knew how he was doing. I really appreciate all your help, Anna, and look forward to working with you again in the future!
Thomas walking our dog allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worry. Our dog was comfortable and happy with him from the first meeting which is a testament to how good Thomas is with dogs. Every walk was right on time. We would recommend him without hesitation. I am very grateful that we found someone that we can trust with our furry family member.
Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!
It’s honestly hard to find someone you fully trust with your dog, but Vlada has been amazing with Brooks. You can tell right away she really cares, and Brooks is always so happy to see her! She’s super reliable and easy to communicate with, which makes everything stress free. I always get updates, pics, and brooksie gets some extra treats! Vlada is an overall great, trustworthy person to have taking care of your dog. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!
Krista has been an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a true love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and personality. My pup gets so excited every time she comes by, which says everything. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kearny is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $27 per walk.

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 Kearny. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kearny after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Kearny. On Rover:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
