Jenna is our go-to with our dog Quincy! He’s got separation anxiety and always seems calm when we come home after he’s had his walk with Jenna!

About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I also have experience with walking and caring for dogs. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 years old, I give them all the love and care possible, my family and friends can attest to this, I also work with children so I am very careful. Our home is extremely pet friendly! We love entertaining our furry guests so there will be a lot of playing involved! It is not easy to trust just anyone with your loved one and as such you will be provided constant updates via text, email messages, photos and videos. I work full time but my wife is home always and has plenty of time to offer play time, long walks and ton of cuddles for your fur baby! I have a large yard and plenty of room in the house specially designed to play and take care of your fur baby to make them feel right at home!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, whether it was taking care of my friends pets while they were away, or my own, I have always loved animals, specially dogs. I currently have three dogs of my own (ages 13, 6, and 1), which has given me experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from being patient and gentle with seniors to keeping the younger pups active and happy. I’m excited to start offering my care to other families and would love the opportunity to treat your pets like my own. I enjoy going on walks, have experience walking multiple dogs, following feeding routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy and loved while they’re in my care. I currently have a part-time job that is very flexible, which allows me to easily work pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy walking every day, whether I have a furry companion with me or not, so adding walks and visits into my schedule is something I truly look forward to. I also have my own reliable transportation, making it easy for me to get to and from clients’ homes. My work hours are short, and I have multiple days where I am not scheduled, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to provide dependable care when your pup needs it. I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make sure to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and daily habits. During visits, I would focus on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I enjoy going on walks, spending time playing, and giving pets the love and patience they deserve while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own dogs.

Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life (mostly dogs & cats)! I have two family dogs currently so I completely understand the stress of trusting them with someone new and I do not take this lightly. I will always make sure to always send videos / photos to clients to make them feel at ease. As well I will always take into account any allergies or habits I need to be aware of. I specialize in pets with high anxiety but love all pets as they come. Would love to schedule a meet and greet:) I am in New Jersey for the summer until I start my full time job in the fall so my schedule is very very flexible I’ll always allocate time to introduce myself to new pets and give them more than enough time to be comfortable in my presence. Imagine going up to a stranger and not introducing yourself!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Livingston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Livingston on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 27,311 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Livingston. 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 Livingston. 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 Livingston.

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 Livingston. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
