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.
About: I have been taking care and pet sitting all kinds of pets and animals since I was 16 years old. I have worked in dog daycares and boarding facilities for around 3 years. I have been trained in dog behavior, temperament, and care. I have a lot of experience with providing dogs and other pets with the proper care they deserve. I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets. I am more available during the daytime but can do evening visits as well. I cannot provide care in my own home but I am very open and willing to provide care in my clients home. I love and care about routines so any routine your pet needs to follow I will be able to provide that in my clients home.
“Gianna is the best! She is easy to communicate with, on time for walks, trustworthy, and really cares about the animals in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure my big pup is happy and safe. She has lessened my anxiety about leaving my pup and that means the world to me. She has been a life saver and I highly recommend her. Thanks Gianna 🥰🐾”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats since I was born, and animals have always been a major part of my life. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and well-cared-for in your absence. I take the time to follow routines, respect training preferences, and provide a calm, loving environment. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles and fish, I have a genuine appreciation for animals of all kinds. I am very tidy and maintain a clean and safe space in my home for your pets to thrive in. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, responsibility, and respect at all times.
About: I’m 26 and have lived with pets my entire life (4 dogs in total). I currently have my own cat that I’ve taken care of for the last three years, so I'm very used to the daily routine of feeding, litter boxes, and keeping a pet happy. Since I grew up with animals, I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages. I've pet-sat for multiple people in my complex, and I also have a good amount of experience handling basic medical needs. I give my own cat eye drops, and in the past, I've cleaned and wrapped wounds for an older senior dog. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets, so I'll make sure to follow your exact instructions during every visit. I work as a mental health counselor afternoons/evenings. I am available mornings up until 1 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays, morning to 12 PM on Mondays, and timing varies on Fridays though I typically am available after 7 PM. I treat other people's pets exactly like my own and watch them like a hawk to make sure they are safe. I follow the owner's exact instructions for feeding and routines, keep dogs on a leash outside, and lock up when I leave.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore them. We lost our two dogs within months of each other and I miss them terribly. I would love to spend some time with other doggies. I work part-time so have a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to drop in or take your dog(s) for a walk. I’m happy to also just hang out with them. Unfortunately my two doggies are no longer with me but I miss taking care of a dog so I would love to be able to help someone out.
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. I have had pets since I could remember
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 cats extensively in the past, cat-sitting for family and friends for weeks at a time. They relied on me to feed and generally care for cats in the past. I am eager to gain more experience with dogs, as I have always had a soft spot for them and absolutely love to walk, play with, and care for them. I currently work 8:00 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays. For now, I am available outside of those hours on weekdays as well as on weekends. In my client's home, I would be sure to follow all routines they have set up for their pet, as well as any other rules they have. During walks and outside of the home care, I would keep a vigilant eye out for the pet to keep them safe, while simultaneously playing and engaging with them so the pet has a fun and positive experience with me.
“Megan has been a great dog walker for our dog! She is very flexible, communicates well and pays attention to details. 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 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.
“Kim is amazing! So sweet and attentive to our dog, and very communicative and understanding! Highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for great care and attention for their animals.”
“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”
About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!

Michelle was fantastic with our pup, Happy! Her communication was excellent, and we received many pics of their walks. Happy is not yet a year and can be a bit of a handful. Michelle handled his energy like a pro and treated our dog like her own. We feel very comfortable with Michelle and would use her again without a doubt!
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 November 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.

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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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
- 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
