About: I’m 25 years old and live with my parents and sister in a home where someone is almost always around throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’ve had dogs my entire life, including a Shih Tzu and a German Shepherd, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Having dogs has taught me how to care for different personalities and sizes, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. We also have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I’d love to give your dog a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! Pet care is something I take seriously and enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owners provide. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they always have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can play and get some fresh air. Most importantly, I want every owner to feel confident that their pet is in good hands, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and pictures throughout their stay!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

About: I've helped take care of friends and families pets throughout my life. While I have no pets of my own due to my living space, I can't wait to meet your fur babies and add them to my list of friends! Before transitioning to independent pet care, I spent years working as a Seafood Manager. In that role, I was directly responsible for strict food safety protocols, meticulous sanitation, and managing high-stakes daily operations. I bring that exact same level of professional detail, reliability, and cleanliness into your home. You can trust that your pet's medication schedules, dietary restrictions, and safety protocols will be followed precisely. Dedicated Time Blocks: I structure my schedule around dedicated morning to mid-day walking blocks (8 AM – 3 PM) and evening check-ins to ensure consistency. I am available for other times depending on the day as well. Punctuality First: As a former manager, I view schedules as strict commitments. Your pets will be fed, walked, and checked on at their exact scheduled times .Overnight Consistency: For house-sitting clients, I maintain a reliable presence in your home, aligning my routine with your pet’s natural sleep and wake cycles. Required Meet & Greets: I schedule a brief, mandatory introductory meeting before confirming any booking to ensure your timeline fits perfectly with my availability. My Safety & Care Protocols: For Your Dogs: Secure Equipment Checks: I double-check collars, harnesses, and leashes before stepping outside. I never allow off-leash play in unsecured areas. Behavior Awareness: I maintain high alertness on walks to avoid strange dogs, hazards, or triggers. For Your Cats: Visual Verification: I never leave a home without physically spotting your cat in their preferred zone to guarantee they are safe. Respectful Interaction: I let shy or independent cats set the pace, never forcing interaction or causing stress. Home & Trust Management: Manager-Level Cleanliness: I keep feeding stations pristine, wash food bowls daily, and strictly manage trash and litter box sanitation. Secure Lockups: I follow entry, alarm, and key management instructions flawlessly to protect your home. Real-Time Transparency: You will receive clear photo updates and a detailed status summary text during every single booking.

About: I am the person who finds the animal at the party and sits with them all night. I have a lot of experience with all animals from having my own to staying with others for a week. I can tell the signs of an upset animal and the last thing I would do is upset them more. I understand that animals are our babies and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am open to all sizes of any animal.. the bigger the better! I currently have 3 dogs at home which range from 17 lbs - 100 lbs and not to brag but I can walk all 3 of them at the same time! Lol. I just want you to be able to go where you need to and not have to worry if your furry friend is safe because I got you!! I am currently in college, so I have plenty of time where I can come hang out with your babies! I am a college student currently working as an LPN. I have time before class/work, I can come on my lunch, after class/work, and weekends are free. I am pretty open, so please just ask and I would be happy to fit your furry friend into my schedule! I will of course follow the rules set for me. I am open to going for a long walk, playing in the yard, snuggling, and honestly anything your baby needs. I am also very open to taking your pup somewhere if they need. For example, if you can’t get off work I am happy to bring your pet to the vet or do drop off/pick up at daycare. This would totally be up to you though!!

About: I’m a veterinary technician who loves caring for animals! I also have experience as a manager at a doggy daycare. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and always treat every animal with the same love and attention I’d give my own! I currently am a part time vet tech, I have a 6 month old sidekick so I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to stop in and give your cat the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits and can work with your cat’s normal feeding and care routine. Whether they want playtime, cuddles, or prefer to silently judge me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead! I’ll care for your cat in their own home where they’re most comfortable and stick closely to the routine you provide. I’ll make sure food and water are fresh, litter is clean, doors are secure, and your cat is safe and accounted for. I’m also respectful of shy or nervous cats and won’t force interaction — I’m perfectly willing to earn their trust one treat at a time. And of course, you can expect updates and pictures so you know exactly how your tiny landlord is doing while you’re away. 🐱

About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Kinnelon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kinnelon is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $26 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 21,005 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kinnelon. 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 Kinnelon. 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 Kinnelon 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 Kinnelon. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
