About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.

About: Hi, besides the obvious of loving animals, I have had first hand raising them growing up, and later I worked and lived on a farm tending for both the farm (~100 sheep, horses, goats, llamas, chicken) and the house animals (4 dogs, and a cat) Student looking for part time gigs, I’m pretty flexible with short-notice/on-call availability throughout the whole week. I love animals and have plenty of experience so this opportunity would be the perfect coupling! I’m great at following instructions (almost to a fault!) so I will do my best to take the best care of your furry family. Little bit about me: I’m a student, part time barista, I love nature and photography, taking walks and hiking, farmer’s markets, keeping a nice and tidy environment, cafes and hanging out with friends.

About: I have 4 years experience dog sitting in South Jersey! I have experience working as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility and now work with farm animals on the Rutgers Farm! I have, on multiple occasions, house sat as well for far away jobs. I have 6 years of fostering experience. This includes cats, dogs, ferrets, tarantulas, and hamsters. I spend lots of time shadowing and interning in veterinary settings to gain experience prior to veterinary school. I juggle Rover with a part-time job and being a full time student. My flexibility depends on the time of year because of this but, usually, I am willing to travel up to 20 minutes for check ins/walks and house sit further away. When I’m taking care of your pets, that is my complete focus. My top priority is keeping your pets as stress-free, happy, and healthy as possible, and I will try to accommodate in any way you ask.

I currently have two cats at home, and previously owned a pitbull who recently passed away. Im looking to get some good walks and play in with some dogs!

My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable.

About: I brought my rescue dog, mochi, home when I was 11, and raised him till he was 18! Mochi gave me lots of experience of how to properly care for a senior dog. Ever since he passed away, I’ve been taking care of my friend’s dogs and cats. I always have lots of fun and decided to make it my side hustle:) I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your pets lots of love and attention. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate to when your pets need to stay at my home. My apartment door, windows, and main building door are always locked. I will make sure your pets get well fed on time and always have clean water ready. I love cuddles and walking!

About: I have owned dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even frogs and have adored them all. My experience with dogs spans many breeds from Shar Pei to Labradoodles and each of them have their own unique needs which I am more than happy to meet. I currently work at Capital Health on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 am until 4:30 pm. I am available all hours otherwise and am flexible with my scheduling. I have a senior dog that recently turned 14. She has a lot of special healthcare needs such as requiring help when going up and down stairs and only being able to eat special meals. She has been in my care since she was a puppy and required many hours of play and higher supervision. I am able to care for dogs of all ages and I’m more than happy to do so.

About: I grew up with dogs and helped raise two litters of bernese mountain dog puppies. Six years ago, I adopted my own dog, Harley, who is a vizsla/catahoula leopard dog mix. Through my experience caring for Harley, I’ve acquired skills to help fearful dogs enjoy walks and adventures while helping dogs learn to feel safe and secure in their environments. I am currently a graduate student and have a very flexible schedule for dog walking! Walking dogs is one of the best parts of my day! I care for my client’s dogs the same as I do my own. Building trust with dogs through patience and kindness will set a strong foundation for many fun times together!

Very flexible. I offer a clean house with little to no fragile items, your pets can run freely indoors — not surrounded by a fenced backyard — backyard does have grass.

About: We had a family pup for 18+ years. The sweetest Maltese ever. She was our perfect girl. Learned to appreciate senior dogs. They need just as much love and have begun to be interested in fostering senior dogs quite soon. I work at a school so I have open availability for this summer. I’ll be able to pay attention and play with them during the day and do walks. Free on the weekend to go to the park and such. I am in a townhouse so no fenced in space but I’m in a very accessible town that’s very walkable. Sidewalks and dog parks all very close.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - New Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in New Brunswick is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 16,241 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Brunswick. 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 New Brunswick. 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 , 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 New Brunswick 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Brunswick. 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 .

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.
