About: I’m big on personalized, one-on-one care and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I’m very attentive, detail-oriented, and observant of body language, so I try to understand each pet’s comfort level, energy, and routine rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. As a dog owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Because my work is contract-based, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the week for pet care. I love animals, and as a dog parent myself, I’ve kept my availability open during times I know are especially helpful for other pet parents. I’ve built walks and drop-in visits into my routine and like to keep my schedule manageable so I can be reliable, attentive, and fully present with each pet. I know how important trust is when someone is coming into your home and caring for your pet. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and very mindful of a pet’s body language and comfort level. I aim to provide thoughtful, reliable care so your pet feels safe and well looked after in their familiar environment. Happy to offer a free meet and greet beforehand so you and your pet can feel comfortable and see if it’s a good fit.

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!

About: I feel as though i have an ability to communicate with animals in ways I cannot communicate with humans. I believe all dogs are gifts from god and we are fortunate to experience their unconditional love. I currently work from home, which allows for a very open schedule, and affords me a lot of freedom when necessary. I can also adapt my current situation to make special accommodations. we have a fenced in yard, I also have a county park located at the end of my street, which also has several dog parks included within it.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and understand that every pet has unique needs at every stage of life. I helped care for my family’s West Highland Terrier for nearly 18 years, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppy years to the extra patience and attention senior dogs need. I also have experience caring for my parents’ young dog, dogs in my extended family and am comfortable keeping up with playful, active pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that they’re in caring, dependable hands. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have flexible daytime availability for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I teach private music lessons in the late afternoons (typically between 4:00 and 7:00 PM, Monday through Thursday), but I’m happy to work with clients to find times that fit their pets’ needs. Depending on location and scheduling, I may also be able to accommodate visits between lessons. I also have availability on Fridays and weekends, making it easier to provide reliable, consistent care. I believe communication is key and will always do my best to be flexible while ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable by keeping them in their familiar routine. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other preferences you have for your pet’s care. Whether your pet enjoys lots of attention or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it. After each visit, I’ll send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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: Your Pet's Comfort, First. Animals have always found me. Growing up, I shared my home with a Chihuahua, a Shih Tzu, and a Terrier… three very different personalities who taught me early that every pet has their own language. Since then, friends and family have trusted me with their dogs (and an occasional cat), and I've spent time volunteering at shelters, sitting with animals who just needed someone patient and present. What Sets Me Apart? I don't expect pets to perform affection for me. Some dogs and cats gravitate toward me right away; others need space, and that's okay. My focus is on their comfort, not my ego. I'm tuned in to how animals feel, whether that's an older dog who moves a little slower and needs gentler handling, or a young pup with energy to burn. I match my energy to theirs, not the other way around. Specific Skills • Boundary-respecting care: I read body language and let the animal lead; no forcing interaction • Age-aware attention: attuned to the different needs of senior dogs (joint sensitivity, slower pace) versus younger, high-energy ones • Daily energy management: I know how much play and movement different dogs need to feel settled, and I make sure they get it • Health-conscious routines: tick checks, coat condition, appetite and behavior observations; I notice the small stuff • Multi-species experience: comfortable with both dogs and cats, including shelter animals with varied backgrounds I treat the animals in my care like I'd want someone to treat my own: patient, observant, and responsive to what they need that day. I currently work part time so I’m able to be flexible with your pets needs and schedules. I’m available to house visit/ walk during weekdays and overnight on weekends and Mondays. In-Home Care Approach I care for pets in their own space, where they feel safest. No hosting, no unfamiliar territory — just me showing up where they're already comfortable. What That Looks Like • I arrive calm — no rushed energy, no loud entry. I give them time to adjust to my presence before anything else. • I learn their space — where they eat, where they hide, their favorite spot by the window. I work within their routine. • Energy out, safely — walks, play, or backyard time based on what they need that day. Tick checks after outdoor time. • I notice the small shifts — eating habits, energy levels, anything that feels off. You'll hear about it. • I leave their space as I found it — maybe a little furrier, but otherwise intact Why This Matters Some pets do fine in new places. Many don't. Older dogs, anxious cats, rescues with history — they hold their ground best at home. I respect that. My job is to be the steady, familiar presence in their environment :)

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and genuinely enjoy building trust with both animals and their owners. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as basic care for other pets. Currently a teacher will have opening availability come summer time. So my availability will be pretty open to whatever the customer/pet needs are. Can’t wait! I make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions from the owner. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and always supervise interactions to ensure pets are safe at all times. I’m attentive to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly if anything seems off. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining a calm, familiar environment for their pet. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away

About: Hi! I'm a big dog lover who enjoys being active, spending time outdoors, and going on walks. I've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and have dog-sat for friends and family countless times over the years. I've cared for puppies as young as 3 months old and senior dogs, including my own 18-year-old dog. I'm also a proud aunt to two dogs! My best friend is a veterinarian, so I've picked up a lot of knowledge about dog care and behavior over the years as well. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. ❤️🐾 I have a hybrid work schedule so I’ll be able to fit in your pup needs through out the day when working from home! Maintaining your dogs regular scheduled routine and providing a safe and loving environment are my main priorities! I make sure collars and harnesses are triple checked before walks, keep owners up to date with photos and give your dog my full attention during playtime, walks and care. My goal is to make sure your pup feel just as comfortable, happy and loved while you’re away!🐶

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!

From day one, it was clear that she genuinely cared about Emma — not just getting the job done, but making sure each walk was safe, engaging, and enjoyable. And that was important because Emma is a lively dog who eats everything in sight. Communication is always prompt and professional, and I appreciate the regular updates and photos after each visit. Most importantly, Emma absolutely adores Kathy and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. Knowing Emma is in such dependable hands gives me complete peace of mind.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kearny

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Kearny on Rover is $22.2 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 28,562 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kearny. 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 Kearny. 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 Kearny.

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 Kearny. 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.
