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.
“I could not recommend Carly enough! My dog had surgery and I was incredibly anxious to leave him with anyone, but I had to look around on Rover as he had to be supervised post-surgery while I went to work. Right from meeting her, both my dog and I loved her! She is so caring, accommodating, and communicative. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day. I honestly can’t wait to book her again!”
“Jillian was fantastic with my dog who doesn't always warm to strangers. She's be so happy to see her every day. Jillian was very punctual and communicative. She sent detailed updates every day. I highly recommend her!”
“Claire was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two dogs for two weeks and treated them like her own. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly an animal lover. We came home to happy, well-exercised pups and couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. Highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker!”
“From the moment we met her, I knew Kristen would be a perfect fit to walk our sweet fur-baby, Hamilton. Given that Hamilton is still a four-month old puppy, my husband & I weren’t willing to leave him in the care of just anyone. Right from the get-go, Kristen was sweet, playful, & affectionate with our sweet boy. Kristen was always immediately responsive to my many questions as a first-time Rover user & left detailed notes/pictures about her walks with Hamilton. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone & everyone! Your dog will love her!!! ~Cynthia & Jay”
“Anne was great with my dog when we needed a dog walker last minute! She was responsive, friendly, and great at dealing with our little energetic pup. I enjoyed the cute pictures she sent each day as well! Would definitely trust her for future walks.”
“Elizabeth is a fantastic dog walker! She is very communicative and provides lot of pictures and a full report of her time with my dogs. I trust her with my pups and will continue to use her 🥰”
“Daniela was amazing with our Saige whom is 10 1/2 and gone thru Chemo for her lymphoma over the past 2 1/2 years and became completely blind 6 months ago. Daniela was very kind and patient with her as Saige walks very slowly being nervous of her surroundings due to her blindness. Daniela made Saige feel very confident while taking her on her walks and was timely and communicated and sent pictures while she had her out for walks :) She truly spoke and was very sweet to our Saige as if she was her own dog ; which was very comforting to us; we will definately reach out to Daniela in the future when we are back in town !”
About: I have experience dog sitting for family and friends, and I was a proud dog owner for many years until my beloved dog passed away a few years ago. Caring for dogs has always been something I enjoy, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog during the week, whether that means going for walks, providing companionship, or helping maintain their routine. Spending time with dogs doesn’t feel like work to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy I’m a middle school vice principal who is looking for a fun summer job, and I can’t think of one better than spending it taking care of dogs! I have summers off so this job is my top priority, I’m a huge dog person and look forward to spending time hanging out with them any time during the day A dogs safety is always a top priority, which is why I will constantly monitor them while I’m there, and give them the attention they deserve. Being respectful of clients homes and belonging is very important and a critical part of my approach to taking care of their pet
About: Flexible hours available at your fingertips! With each pet having their own special personality, I easily adapt to its care. A lover of all animals and here for whatever they need. Ready to offer my five star service - if they like cuddles, they’ll get cuddles. If they prefer space, they’ll get space. With having two family dogs that I help take care of - both of which are almost 13 years old - I have plenty of experience and care to provide to make them feel comfortable and have a great time away. Whether it be a run/stroll through the park or comfortably watching television, I’m ready to make them feel easily at home and make you feel at ease knowing I’m with them!
About: I’m a huge dog lover and have been caring for dogs for over 15 years. I started out working for a dog walking company, then ran my own dog walking business for a while. After 2020, I moved on to other things, but I’ve still stayed connected by walking and caring for a few longtime clients here and there. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I’m currently a preschool teacher and off for the summer, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pup! During the school year, I’m available for afternoon and evening visits after 3 p.m. on weekdays. I am available most times on the weekends as well. I’d love to spend my free time giving your dog the attention and care they deserve! Safety is always my top priority. I make sure to follow every routine and instruction pet owners provide because I know how important consistency is for dogs. I also have a dog at home who isn’t very dog-friendly, so I truly understand how important it is to respect each dog’s unique needs and boundaries.
About: As a pet owner for more than 35 years, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for large-breed dogs as well as dogs that require medication and special medical attention. My favorite pastime is dog walking, and I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing safe, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. I have been a Special Education Teacher for the past 26 years and am currently enjoying my summer break from school. With a flexible summer schedule, I am available for dog walking and pet care throughout the week. Dog walking has always been one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog needs a daily walk, exercise, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I am reliable, responsible, and ready to help. While I currently share my home with one beloved cat, I have been a dog owner for most of my adult life. After losing my three dogs, I decided not to get another dog right away, but I still deeply miss the companionship and joy that dogs bring to everyday life. I have always been the kind of dog mom who made my dogs a priority. When I had dogs, I walked them before work every morning, came home during my lunch break to take them out again since I worked less than a mile from home, and then enjoyed another walk with them in the evening. My yard is fully fenced, providing a safe space for play and exercise, but I have always believed that dogs need more than just a backyard—they need walks, attention, and quality time with their people. Caring for dogs has never felt like a chore to me; it’s something I truly enjoy. Becoming a Rover walker gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs again while helping other pet owners ensure their furry family members receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. 🐾
About: My name is Emma R. and I am currently a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University - Florham. I have been housitting and pet sitting since I was in middle school and would love to help you out! I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.
About: As a speech therapist for 10 months out of the year, I primarily work with children and enjoy spending summers outdoors with my own dog, Cooper. I have 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking, through Rover as well as for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable maintaining your dog’s training and walking routines to ensure safe, fun walks together! (Cooper will stay at home, he is a whole lot of 100 lbs and receives his own walks. He does not resource guard and has never been a bite risk). I’m looking to dog walk and/or dog sit in the summer, when I am off from my public school job. This would be during the months of July and August, but depending on the hour I can be available before July (after 4:30 pm). During the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a split level home. I can keep our dogs separate or introduce them depending on your preference and whether they can acclimate (Cooper is a big boy but docile and friendly).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Monroe
We greatly appreciate Claire for taking such good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. Claire immediately had good rapport with our dog (who is a very good judge of character) and maintained good communication with us while we were away. We felt at ease knowing our beloved dog was in Claire’s capable hands. We highly recommend Claire for all your pet care needs.
Natalia is a terrific dog walker, intuitive, patient and enthusiastic. My dog, Cessie, is full of energy and can get distracted by bunnies, squirrels, any little so fter training, she has some modifications. Natalia easily adapted to her routine and Cessie came home happy and despite a long walk, lively and refreshed. I would definitely recommend her as a great dog walker./-
Maddie has stayed overnight and walked my dog Millie a few times now, and is always extremely responsive, polite and takes great care of my girl!! We are looking forward to using her again for upcoming trips and would definitely recommend Maddie for both drop ins, and overnight stays.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Monroe on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Monroe. 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 Monroe.

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 Monroe. 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.
