About: Hi! I’m Zara, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained experience through dog walking, house sitting, and fostering a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. A lot of my experience is personal, which I think makes it even more meaningful. I grew up with a family dog and learned early on what it means to be responsible for and truly bond with an animal. I also rescued and raised a stray kitten from just 4 weeks old, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. Since then, I’ve continued fostering kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs, all with different personalities, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know each pet and what makes them comfortable, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just having someone calm and reliable around. I treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available most days, with limited availability on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9–1. Otherwise, I’m open and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences. I know every pet is different, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just how their pet likes to relax. I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and stress-free environment while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years, providing loving and reliable pet sitting and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, along with 2 years of dog-walking experience. As an animal lover and proud cat mom to my own kitty, Dash, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a little company while you’re away, or someone to check in and make sure they’re happy and comfortable, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to provide attentive, dependable pet care. I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for dog walking and drop-in visits. My flexibility allows me to work around your pet’s routine and give them the time, attention, and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines, following feeding instructions, providing fresh water, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I enjoy getting them outside for walks, exercise, and playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a clean space, fresh food and water, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m also a cat owner myself, and my cat Dash is strictly an indoor cat, so I understand the importance of keeping pets safe indoors and respecting each pet’s individual needs and routines. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

About: Was responsible for many cats and dogs when I was growing up. Currently have a fur baby name Genevieve and she’s a calico. She is roughly two years old. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I do my best to maintain their usual schedules and make them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for pets in either my home or their own home, depending on what works best for them and their owner. I know pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m always mindful of their routines, feeding schedules, and little quirks. In a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine. If they’re staying with me, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their owner is away!

Hazel was an exceptional dog walker, and I highly recommend her. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and dependable, giving me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she handled my very difficult dog with remarkable patience and compassion. She took the time to understand my dog's personality and built trust through consistency and care, even when walks were challenging. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog Flash's well-being and always went above and beyond to ensure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who can confidently handle even the most challenging dogs, Hazel is an excellent choice.
I can’t recommend this dog walker highly enough! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. My dogs are always excited to see them and come home happy, well exercised, and relaxed after every walk.

Gabriel was great! We needed support with a last minute walk and she was able to accommodate. Gracie had an accident due to excitement and Gabriel made sure to clean it up for us while also being really communicative. She sent us pictures on the walk and made sure to return all of Gracie’s things to their original place. Your pup is in great hands!

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 Linden. 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 Linden 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 Linden. 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.
