Although my dog was a bit excited in the beginning, jumping on her, Michelle kept her cool and they had a great walk together! If you want your pet to be treated like family, Michelle is your go to person! Passionate about dogs and a true animal lover! Thanks Michelle!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
“Mari was great with my little anxious pup. They went on a 1.5 mile walk that Bella enjoyed thoroughly and I got to see the pics along their walk. Will definitely use Mari again.”
“Denise is amazing! She responded super quickly to my last minute walk request, accommodated a meet & greet the same day, and is very understanding and flexible. We are grateful to have found her :)”
“Scarlet was extremely communicative, sweet and timely. She kept me updated and informed and even made time for a meet and greet a few days before since my pup can get a little nervous around new people. Will definitely be using her services again!!”

My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments.

I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities.

“Karla is great! She is very accommodating towards pets needs. She is very kind to my dog and is very easy to communicate with for whatever you may need. She always sends pics of their walks so I always know how their walk went. I’m currently booked with her for weekly walks, and I couldn’t ask for someone better. I will continue to have her walk my Ruby till as long as she can!”

About: I was a proud dog mom for over 20 years. While my beloved pups have since crossed the rainbow bridge, my love for dogs has never faded. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and care. I would love the opportunity to treat your furry family member as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for them is something I genuinely look forward to each day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries. I believe patience and consistency are important in building trust. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether that means playtime, belly rubs (if they’re willing!), companionship, or long walks when weather and the pet’s needs allow, I will provide attentive care and treat them as if they were my own.
“It was difficult finding a sitter over the busy holiday season that was good with a shy/skittish dog like ours, so glad we found Fatima!! Our dog was immediately comfortable around her, and we knew they’d enjoy their nice long daily walks together. Fatima was also very communicative, she met him beforehand, was helpful in fixing my scheduling mistake, and sent us Rover Cards for every walk. We look forward to booking with her again!”
About: For the past three years, I’ve cared for dogs and puppies across every stage of life — tiny learners discovering the world, energetic adolescents building good habits, and sweet seniors who move at a gentler pace. I’m experienced in training support, reinforcing routines, and providing thoughtful senior care that honors each pet’s comfort, mobility, and dignity. One of my greatest abilities is earning genuine trust. I move with intention, speak softly, and let pets come to me on their own terms. My patience is exceptional — the kind that helps anxious, shy, or cautious animals feel safe enough to open their hearts. Whether I’m guiding a puppy through new skills or supporting an older dog through slow, tender moments, I show up with calm confidence and deep respect. I’ve always believed animals — like children — are some of the world’s greatest gifts. Their honesty, purity, and emotional intelligence inspire me every day. If I could rewrite my career, I’d be a veterinarian. But even as a project manager, my long‑term dream is to work in a field that protects animals and contributes to their preservation. Caring for your pet isn’t just a service to me — it’s a calling. I honor their individuality, their needs, and their spirit with warmth, consistency, and genuine love. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I’m always attentive, present, and able to give pets consistent care, supervision, and guaranteed genuine connection. All I need is my laptop! From anywhere, I create a calm, structured environment whether I’m in my home or yours. I follow all routines exactly as given, keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and maintain a clean, hazard‑free space. I’m attentive, gentle, and always present — especially since I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. Pets feel safe with me because I move slowly, respect boundaries, and build trust through consistency and patience. As a project manager, structure is very important to me
About: After working at an animal hospital for three years, and volunteering at animal shelters I knew that I was meant to work with dogs. Their time on this planet is shorter than ours so it's my mission to make their time on this planet a happy, loving, and nurturing one! I have experience in dog handling from working with groomers and working at an animal hospital. I also help pet owners learn how they can improve the quality of life of their dog's life by removing chemicals and toxins from their home. Before moving to the Hudson Valley I lived in the city where I would walk dogs and bathe them for a living, so I am thrilled to be able to do that again in my new home!
About: Hey there! My name is Halley, I'm 26 years old, and I've recently relocated to New Jersey from Seattle, where I’ve been working as a Rover petsitter and dog walker for several years. (Find me on trusted housesitters to see my other 20+ 5 star reviews!) I've got special experience with: - large dogs (leash aggressive) - elderly animals - administering medication (mostly to dogs, cats, and horses) - kittens & puppies - taking care of farm animals, especially chickens and horses! (: I’m currently working remotely, so I am flexible for mid day walking needs and especially free on weekends! My mornings and evenings are also wide open For in-home pet care, I like to make sure that we maintain as much of their usual routine as possible so they don't feel too anxious or sad about you being gone! We can do all kinds of fun outside or indoor playtime, and I love nothing more than being all piled on the couch reading a good book with a sweet pup or cat <3

Melissa was very accommodating as we needed a last minute dog walker due to work schedule changes. She was patient, gentle, and understanding with my older maltipoo. She also provided detailed updates about my dogs walk! So glad to have found Melissa, highly recommend :)
It has been such a delight working with Mel. I was such at ease knowing I can trust my little fur baby in her hands my vacation was peaceful and magical... ✨️✨️✨️ Mel communicated/shared photos with me at all times making sure I was in peace. I recommend Mel to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter as she is very polite, punctual, loves animals and very professional.
Emily took great care of our dog while we were away!! The communication and care was amazing! Given that the doggy was not feeling his best, she helped him out and updated us how he was doing! And was creative when we hit a snag with the access to our house! Would recommend her care!
Marlene has been an absolute lifesaver. She always shows up on time, provides updates of her walk with our pup and is always willing to accommodate our schedule. She shows a genuine love for animals and knows how to handle our 60lb energetic rescue pittie. I am very happy to have peace of mind, knowing we can rely on her professional services.
We’ve had such a great experience with our dog walker, Xavier! He’s been walking our two dogs, Koda and Miso, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Both dogs have their own personalities, and he handles each of them so well—making sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. I always feel at ease knowing Koda and Miso are in good hands. Xavier is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my pups are after every walk. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Kushi was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate me and my dog last minute this weekend due to a medical procedure, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. She was incredibly attentive to all the details, right on time, and super responsive with communication from start to finish. She really showed up for us when we needed her most, and that kind of reliability and care means everything. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Kushi enough!
Jungmin did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Mia. She walked her with great care and regularly sent pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Mia was happy and in good condition. Jungmin was very responsive, kind, and clearly attentive to Mia’s needs. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone.

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 Moonachie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
