1. Karen G.
“Karen did a great job with my older pup Noelle. Noelle didn’t want to stay out long due to the light rain so after my pup did her business Karen brought her back inside and played and exercised her indoor. Karen was on time, reliable and patient. I was very happy to find her on very short notice. Thank You Karen. We look forward to seeing you soon!”
2. Nicole Z.
“Nicole was great! It was our first time using rover for our young puppy and she made us feel very comfortable. She followed instructions and was very communicative, sending us updates as she walked and played with our puppy. I would def recommend!”
3. Eleni C.
“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
4. Xiomara N.
“She is amazing and my dog loves her, has been walking for us for a while.”
5. Dawn C.
“You can tell Dawn is a dog person right away! This put me at ease because my dog is a puller and barks at other dogs so he needs an animal lover with patience. She showed my dog a lot of love and can’t wait to use her again.”

About: Hi, I am a retired animal technician who had a beautiful beagle for 12 years. Got to raise her with my family from a puppy until adulthood. I miss having my own dog around but cannot get another one of my own so now I dog sit! Love taking them out for walks and going to the park with them! You can be sure your dog will be happy and safe under my care, lots of experience with animals especially having taken care of my own for so long and also having grown up with animals around. I am based out of a New Jersey suburb and am looking forward to take care dogs from nearby towns! For any additional pet services do not hesitate to ask.

“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with. Our dog, Gretel, loved her. She took her on multiple walks a day for us and Gretel was so excited to see her each time. She was super easy to work with and made scheduling so easy. Highly recommend her and would book again in a second.”

11. Lauren T.
“Lauren loves animals more than she loves people. No I really mean it. She genuinely loves animals more than she loves people! I have never seen someone more excited to pet a dog in my entire life. It comes so natural for Lauren to love & care for any and all pets. If you choose Lauren to watch over your furry friend, be warned - they may be sad when she leaves!”
12. Mark G.
“Mark is an excellent walker. He is very communicative before and after the walks. He is very good with my 100lb Goldendoodle and my 75lb Lab Irish Wolfhound pup. You can just tell how much he loves them. I highly recommend him.”
13. Noni J.
“Noni has watched my dogs multiple times with such care and attention it is difficult for me to trust another dog walker. I have two 50lb dogs that are reactive to other dogs and she is incredibly cautious when walking them. She updates me constantly on how they are doing. She is much appreciated!”
14. David L.
About: What sets me apart? I’ve had the pleasure of owning and caring for my own dog for over 12 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a dog’s life—from playful puppies to wise seniors. With a proven track record of handling all types of dogs, I bring patience, care, and a knack for understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in experienced, loving hands! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I’m free most weekdays from early morning to late afternoon. I pride myself on being flexible and am happy to work around your schedule—just let me know in advance, and we’ll make it happen. Your pet’s needs are my priority! When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether it’s early morning or late at night, I ensure the harness and leash are securely attached and always use a light-up collar for visibility in low light. I even add a bell to the collar so I can keep track of them from a distance. Whether in your home or mine, I bring the same attention to detail to make sure your pet is happy and safe :)

“Tyler was great with our Siberian Husky Gambit. He took him on extensive walks and was very responsive to our requests and questions. Would definitely book again!”
16. Nicolette A.
About: I love spending time and bonding with all pets. I have a Doberman Pinscher who I raised from 10 weeks to her current 8 years. I am comfortable with all dog breeds. I am used to walking dogs that other dogs and people are afraid of. Having a high-energy breed of dog, I am also familiar with the most effective ways exercise them. My own dog prefers biking with me and also playing catch in tennis courts. Each dog is different and I’m positive I could make your dog as happy (and tired) as mine is. I have basic training experience and experience with all types of leashes, leads, collars, and harnesses. Most of all, I am familiar with the love we have for our pets and want to share that with my clients. I am active in the pet community in Union county, if there is something that I cannot handle, I can certainly provide recommendations. Walking my dog and clients dogs is an essential part of my day and I enjoy getting to share the peace with them. This care is essential and a priority for me and pets. My dog has been taught boundaries since she was a puppy and I practice the same with other pets. She has a dedicated place to eat, sleep, she does not have access to bedrooms for sanitary purposes as well as furniture. Of course it is necessary to mirror the pet parent’s boundaries which is what will be practiced in their home.

“Amazing!”
19. Katie F.
“Katie is fantastic! She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, with years of experience fostering dogs from local shelters and showing exceptional kindness to all animals. I would wholeheartedly trust her with my 13-year-old dog. I highly recommend Katie as a Rover professional; she's not only a great friend but also an excellent pet sitter!”
20. Ashley K.
“Ashley swooped in and saved the day while my mother was recovering from a health condition and unable to take care of our family dog, Sunny. Ashley was truly a bright spot during a difficult week. We are so grateful to her! Highest possible recommendation, as Ashley was so easy to communicate with, extremely reliable and flexible, and bonded with Sunny so well right away. Thank you, Ashley!”
