“My dog is a shelter girl we’ve only had a few months, so I never know what she’ll think of strangers but they had no problem becoming best pals! Thanks again for handling my last-minute request for a dog you hadn’t met yet 😅😁 Will book again!”
“She was always on time, with a perfect attitude and providing quality walking time for my dogs. 100% recommended, they had an amazing time and came back to the apt super tired, meaning they walked a lot! Thanks for taking care of the walking process with Sola/Chanel!”
About: I’m a retired nurse so have no problems giving shots or medications. (liquid is best) I have done so many times for my own dogs. I am currently not working so am available anytime to care for your pet(s). I do request 5 days in advance notice of the actual visit(s). I will be happy to feed and water your pet, clean up after them as well as walk/play with them!! I want them to trust me. I truly love our fur babies!
About: Hi there! My name is Eric and I would be happy to take care of your pet. I grew up the youngest of 4 kids and we always had animals around. We had Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Chickens, my sister wanted a goat but my dad said thats too much. Being the youngest it was usually my responsibility to make sure the pets were fed and taken care of. I know going away can be hard not only for the pet but for the owner as well and I will always strive to make sure both are reassured and comfortable. Currently, I am between jobs, so I am completely free to assist morning or night, weekday or weekend. I am very flexible with my hours at this point so I can stay with your loved pets if needed. I would need to take care of your pets in the client's home as my wife has a pet allergy. I bring a very warm and friendly energy and would want to meet the pet before I start working with them to ensure we are comfortable with each other.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 6. I love every minutes spent with them. I guess that something written in gene. I am currently studying at home all day long. I do have two small kids but they both go to school at daytime. They both love animals like me do. I have a medium-sized lab and a chihuahua. Both of them are neutered and super friendly to other dogs. They are always expecting new friends to visit them.
About: Hi, I’m Mumu! I’ve been passionate about animals all my life and never pass up a chance to hang out with a puppy or kitty. I have years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter (starting from high school), taking care of friends’ and my boyfriend’s dogs, and more recently, adopting my own two lovely kitties. I believe our connections with our pets lie in positive reinforcement, gaining trust, and listening to their boundaries. I’m experienced in taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, giving basic commands and rewarding them with treats, and generally making sure they’re having fun. I’m also experienced in taking care of cats, reading their body language, and keeping them happy. Whether your pet needs feeding, medications, or cuddles, I’m committed to taking care of your pet’s every need. I believe in open and clear communication, so that you can rest easy knowing they’re being well-cared-for. I'm currently part-time working from home and studying for the LSAT, so my schedule is fairly flexible! Mornings, afternoons, and even nights are doable as long as we communicate about what's needed. I always make sure to know where food and medicine is stored, as well as toys, leashes, etc. I will always bring doggy bags and treats on walks. I can send photos and videos for every session, so that you always know what's going on.
“Lauren was great with walking my dog. They made sure he got water breaks, sent updates and pictures after each walk. They were also available to extend the walk to an hour and for a super last minute booking, so I totally appreciate the flexibility. Thank you Lauren!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! With 35 years of experience caring for dogs, I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I’m also a proud dog mom to Chico, my sweet two-year-old Maltipoo, who is basically my child! 😂 Chico has never met a dog or person he hasn’t loved, and he would be thrilled to welcome a new furry friend into our home. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pup with someone new, so my goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just curling up on the couch for some snuggles, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they’re used to at home. Chico and I also love going to the dog park, so if that’s your dog’s jam, we’d love for them to join us! My camera reel is filled with pictures and videos of dogs, so I’m always happy to share as many photos and videos as you’d like while you’re away. I want you to feel comfortable and reassured knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time! I treat every dog like family, which means lots of affection, a safe and comfortable environment, and plenty of updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands. Your pup might arrive as a guest, but they’ll leave as family! ❤️🐾 Being a dog mom is already a big part of my everyday routine, so welcoming another furry friend fits right in! 🐾 Chico and I love spending our days going for walks, playing, and getting plenty of cuddle time. I work from home most of the week and take breaks for walks and attention as needed. I work in the city twice a week, but I can be flexible about which days, depending on your pup’s needs. I’m also happy to discuss boarding during the week and create a routine that keeps your pup comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Your pup will be treated like part of our little family! ❤️ I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and supervised outdoor fun. I also live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for relaxing walks and exploring. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and preferences. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, medication, extra potty breaks, or a favorite bedtime routine, I’m happy to follow your instructions to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I always prioritize safe introductions, supervised playtime, and making sure everyone gets along. And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures, videos, and updates while you’re away! My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your baby is being loved and cared for like one of my own. 🐶💕

“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Siqin provided for my dog! She went above and beyond, ensuring my dog received plenty of playtime, healthy meals, and lots of affection.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
Alice did a wonderful job walking our little dog. At the first walk she asked a lot of questions to make sure she knew all important details about how our girl behaves, what her quirks are, and things to watch out for. We could tell that she takes good care of dogs.
We had a great experience! She is wonderful with large dogs and clearly knows how to interact with them confidently and appropriately. She was very gentle, patient, and kind with Kobe, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Kobe can get quite excited at times, but she knew exactly how to handle his energy calmly and confidently. I felt very comfortable trusting her with him. I would definitely recommend her, especially to anyone with a large or energetic dog. We would be happy to book with her again! 🐾❤️
Kevin is simply superb. He was on time and you can even set the time based on his visit. He has a very pleasant look and was nice to work with him. He loves dog. If I need any service in future my first preference will be Kevin. My advice to Kevin is to get into training dogs which pays a good money and will be a big service to the community.
Katherine was wonderful with our dog on her first walk! She made us feel completely at ease and kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. We could tell our dog Lina was happy after here visit! We feel confident leaving our pup in Katherine's care and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker.
Raeyna was amazing! Cannot thank her enough when I asked for walks for my two dogs last minute. Shes very knowledgable and my dogs absolutely loved her. She was very understanding, responsible, punctual and informative. I cannot thank her enough and will be contacting her if I need my dogs walked again in the future.
Jacob is very punctual, has good attitude, he is polite and patient with my dog. He is an excellent dog walker. I will ask for him whenever my dog needs a walk. My dog is a very shy 65 pounder, he usually doesn’t let strangers get near him. Jacob is friendly and was able to have my dog approach him. Great job, Jacob. thanks.
So thankful to have found Athena on such short notice! She was easy to communicate with and I loved the pictures she provided. Athena was super attentive and even filled up my dogs water bowls and brought in our packages when she arrived. Would definitely recommend her!
Thank you for taking Waffle for walks. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Waffle was in such kind, reliable hands. You were always punctual, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Waffle was happy, safe, and well exercised on every walk. Waffle always came back excited and content, which says everything. We truly appreciate your professionalism and warmth, and we would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you.
Marielle has been amazing! We’ve used her a few times to walk our girl Nova and to check in on her in the evening. She has been completely reliable and has been flexible with our times. She sends updates and photos throughout their time together; Nova always looks like she’s having the best time! Would 10/10 recommend!
Sandra was wonderful to work with—calm, very professional, and friendly. My dog was clearly excited when she arrived and happily went with her each walk. She followed directions carefully, communicated well, and was really helpful. She also took him for a jog, which was such a win—he came back happy and nicely tired. I’d definitely recommend her and will book again!
I had an unexpected bereavement emergency and was unable to meet Kenneth in person, however he accommodated perfectly to my situation. My dog Tré is usually nervous when meeting new people and Kenneth attended to all of his need to make him comfortable. He displayed great communication and was overall the perfect choice. Highly recommend!
We have known Kendra for last couple months. She is reliable and excellent with our pet. She is always on time and makes sure to give our pooch Tanner a great walk. She also administers oral meds with no difficulty. We are glad to have found Kendra and highly recommend her for all your pet needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Newark is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 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 13,825 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Newark. 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 Newark. 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 Newark 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 Newark. On Rover:
- 84% 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.
