About: Hi, I'm Xiomara and currently live in the Chatham, NJ area. I'm a huge lover of pets and have had many growing up and continuing over the years into adulthood. I currently have one cat at home, who is almost 14 years old and at times help take care of my family's Shih Tzu. Our previous family dog had diabetes, so I have experience administering medication should that be necessary. I love dogs and cats, whether they are young or old equally, and you can trust your pet will get the best treatment from me. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule, so I'll have time to play with your fur babies and am available any day you may need. My home is smoke free, one level and has just enough space for your pet to run around safely. My cat will also be around to keep them company.

“First time using Rover. Needed dog walker on short notice and Anthony was able to fit us in. He quickly responded to all our communications. Our dog needs to be persuaded to walk (especially with a new walker) and Anthony was very patient and got her to go on her walk. Overall, very happy with Anthony.”

About: Whether you’re seeking care for a hyperactive pup who needs ample exercise or a docile dog who enjoys sniffaris, I can assure you your pup will feel safe with me and receive the care they need! I currently own a high energy retriever mix named Koda and have had dogs my entire life. I am extremely comfortable around all dogs no matter their size. I have owned and been responsible for dogs ranging from cockapoos and daschunds to labs, border collies, pitbulls, and sheep dogs. I work from home so my availability is extremely flexible. I'm always happy to work out a schedule based on your needs. My goal is to make you and your dog as happy and comfortable as possible. I work from home so I can be flexible depending on your dogs needs. I love taking dogs on long walks around their neighborhood or bringing them to Watchung Reservation for some well deserved time in nature. I understand every dog's needs are different so I'll make sure they're comfortable and content while their owners are away. I have experience caring for reactive dogs and am comfortable walking with them and am a firm believer in positive reinforcement.

About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I volunteer at an animal shelter and I love it. I have always been the go to person in my neighborhood when someone is out of town and needs someone to stop by their house or even care for their pets. I currently work part time so I have extra time on my hands. I have a large dog of my own and two cats so pet care is not unfamiliar to me Because I have a large dog of my own and two cats, I know what their needs and wants are.

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, but professionally, I’ve spent years working in veterinary medicine. I currently work as a veterinary nurse in the oncology department of a large specialty hospital, and I have experience in multiple veterinary clinics and hospitals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets with chronic or complex medical conditions. I can administer oral and topical medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and my veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t right and responding appropriately in an emergency. I’m also Fear Free Certified and take low-stress handling seriously. I’m happy to work with pets who are nervous, shy, spicy, or simply need a little more patience than the average sitter may be comfortable providing. For pets who need a little maintenance while you’re away, I can also provide nail trims, sanitary trims, and anal gland expressions when appropriate and requested. At home, I have my goofy rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Fae, and two cats: Baby, my beautiful but spicy failed foster, and Boo, my precious social recluse. Between them and my years in veterinary medicine, I’m very accustomed to animals having wildly different ideas about what constitutes a good time. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet’s life as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. For walks and drop-ins, I’m equally happy with a leisurely sniff-every-blade-of-grass walk, an energetic outing, or simply keeping an older pet company and taking care of their needs. I am in clinical rotations for my graduate program from Monday-Thursday 8:30am-4:30pm and work the odd Friday per diem at my veterinary hospital. If you don’t see a date you need, just message me! At your home I will adhere to what is normal for your pet and I can follow any rules and instructions you may have, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, play time and exercise, or just “hanging out” to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away.

About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.

I can be very particular about the way my dog is cared for, from wiping him when he comes back inside to wearing his booties so his paws don’t get dirty. Megan followed all my instructions from the get go and I knew my dog was in good hands from the start!”

About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

We couldn’t be happier with Carlie! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and caring, and has taken such wonderful care of our elderly dog. She pays close attention to his cues and never pushes him beyond what he’s comfortable doing. If he feels like walking, she walks with him; if he’d rather snuggle, play, or just have some quiet company, she happily follows his lead. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about him and wants him to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family! ❤️

Katherine was wonderful!!! I am so glad she answered the call to CARE and walk my dog Koa. I emphasize care because she did . She had a Doberman before, there for she knew of some the quirky behaviors they can exhibit . She went above and beyond the tasks asked of her, including but not limited to watering my garden! She is an asset to the Rover community!

I am so incredibly grateful for Hailey. She started walking Gus just last week, and it’s already clear how special she is. Gus absolutely adores her - which says everything. She’s kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has meant the world to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough - truly the best dog walker I could have asked for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in New Providence is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 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 27,246 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across New Providence. 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 Providence. 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 Providence 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 Providence. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
