“Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!”

“This was my second time booking with Camila And she’s great. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her, it is clear that she cares about all the dogs she walks. I will definitely always reuse Camila”

“Jen was absolutely fantastic! She was professional, was clearly knowledgeable about puppy behavior and always managed to tire Toby out and making sure he went to the bathroom so I didn’t have to worry.”


About: We genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a husband-and-wife team, you’ll have two dedicated animal lovers caring for your pet, giving you added peace of mind and flexibility. We’ve been dog owners for over 15 years and have raised two dogs from puppies through their senior years. That experience has taught us patience, consistency, and how to care for dogs at every stage of life—from energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra attention, and gentle care. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so we’ll always treat your dog like one of our own. Whether we’re stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, we’ll follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we both work from home, giving us the flexibility to schedule walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. With our two children in elementary school, we’re already active in the community and have a routine that allows us to provide dependable care before work, during lunch breaks, after school, evenings, and on many weekends. As a husband-and-wife team, one of us is often available, allowing us to be flexible and reliable for your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, a walk to burn off energy, or a little extra companionship while you’re away, we’re happy to help and will always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are our top priorities\. During every drop\-in visit or walk, we’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications \(if needed\) to favorite walking routes and playtime preferences\. We know that keeping pets on their normal routine helps them feel comfortable while you’re away\. We’ll treat your home with the same respect we’d expect for our own by ensuring doors and gates are securely locked, keeping your home tidy, and making sure your pet is safe before we leave\. We’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for\. We understand that every dog is unique, so we’ll take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and comfort level to provide patient, loving, and dependable care every visit.
“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”

“Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.”

“Peyton came in last minute to help with Lenox’s daily walks while we were away and our regular walker canceled. She was very communicative about how he did on his walks, sent great pictures, and was even extra gentle with him when a storm strolled through that made Lenox anxious. Would hire her again!”

About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.
“Cheryl and Elmar took such great care of our dog Peanut! They were even able to accommodate us when we needed emergency doggy care on short notice after our flights were canceled - we are so grateful! Peanut also had so much fun on his walks with them, he was so excited and waited by the door for them! Highly highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent years volunteering in different countries socializing, walking, and caring for all different breeds and sizes of dogs.

About: I was a devoted dog mom for 15 wonderful years to the sweetest and most lovable Yorkie. My Bobi, my baby, my good boy, my heart and so many names I lovingly gave him. He wasn’t just my dog—he was family and deeply loved. ❤️ Having him throughout every stage of his life also gave me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog. I understand that as dogs get older, they may need a little more patience, gentleness, attention, and understanding. I’m comfortable taking things at their pace and giving them the extra care and affection they deserve. Being a dog mom taught me so much about companionship, responsibility, and unconditional love. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. This was the biggest concern for me and my family so I understand. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re young and full of energy or a senior pup who prefers a slower stroll and extra cuddles, I’ll care for them with kindness and treat them like family. 🐾❤️ I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as last-minute requests when possible. I’m happy to work around your dog’s regular routine because I know consistency can make all the difference in helping them feel happy and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pup’s normal routine, and take the time to understand their personality, likes, dislikes, and any special needs. I’ll also keep you updated while your pup is with me, because I know how reassuring it is to know they’re safe, happy, and getting lots of love. ❤️ Be ready to receive the cutest pictures while your furbaby is under my care ❤️📸
“Matthew really came through. I booked another dog walker at first that ended up canceling on me right before I was due to go on vacation. Matthew made himself available for my puppy, Darla. He is great with her and she loves him. I will be booking him again for sure.”

“Jing is fantastic! I contacted her at the last minute looking for a dog walker for my puppy as my current walker is on vacation. Jing responded immediately and scheduled a meet & greet. My puppy absolutely loved her. Jing communicated with me throughout the walk and sent pictures too. She put my mind at ease while I was at work because I knew my puppy was being taken care of and having a great time! I highly recommend Jing. She’s reliable, efficient, and trustworthy. I will continue to work with her in the future!”

About: I am not only an animal lover but also a highly reliable and experienced caregiver. With a deep understanding of pet behavior, I provide tailored care to ensure that each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s through engaging walks, personalized playtime, or simply providing companionship. I have experience of over 10+ years raising and taking care of pets of all kinds. I have trained puppies born from our litters and watched them grow until we had to part our ways. I am able to give any medications needed for seniors! I was born and raised on the farm, these pets included over 9 different dogs from big to small, well over 5 different cats, horses, and cows, we even owned a lizard at one point. have moved away from home so I’m very much missing the company of my family dogs, hoping to make some new animal friends. My goal is to create an stress-free, enjoyable experience for both you and your pet, making me the trusted choice for your furry family members. Currently I’m working part time with children, I take them to school and I pick them up from school, so I'm available Monday-Thursday from 8:30am-2:30pm. And Fridays 8:30am-1:00pm. Weekends I’m willing to negotiate times! I create a secure, pet-friendly environment . I follow strict protocols for walks, ensuring that pets are always on a leash or in a secure area. I also maintain a clean and safe space indoors, and actively play with your pet to keep them entertained. If your family uses crates in your home, I ensure the crate is placed in a quiet, safe area where your pet can relax without feeling stressed. I never leave pets in crates for long periods and always make sure they have regular breaks for exercise, bathroom trips, and playtime.
“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Milford
Amanda was amazing!! My dog is anxious and takes some time to warm up to people. Amanda took her time with him and they became fast friends! She sent lots of pictures, was always providing updates and just did a wonderful job in general! I cannot recommend her more.. very very happy

Andrea was wonderful with Genie! Even though she is new to us, she proved to be extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and professional right from the start. Most importantly, Genie seemed to really like her and took to her immediately. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for great pet care!

Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.

Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!

Karen was absolutely wonderful. She was very friendly, always showed up on time, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She stayed in constant communication with both my wife and me, which gave us real peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — 10/10 would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care.

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.

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
