About: Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given. They'll enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and all the cuddles they desire. 📢Why Choose Me? ⭐️ Constant Companionship: As someone who works from home, I provide near-constant supervision and company, ensuring your pet feels secure and never lonely. ⭐️ Proven Patience & Love: Having raised a dog to 18 years, I have a deep well of patience and understanding for every personality and need. ⭐️Seamless Communication: I am fluent in both English and Chinese（中文）, ensuring clear, easy, and worry-free updates for you. ⭐️ A Ready, Dog-Safe Home: My home is quiet, safe, and ready to welcome your pet without the stress of other resident animals. My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
“Fantastic pet sitter!! have been on the hunt for someone who can handle and feel comfortable with our reactive boy. He’s a total lovebug inside, but outside gets triggered by other animals. Lexa was great with him and put my anxiety at ease. Thank you so much!”
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 been providing pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for over 10 years. Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to adapt to their individual needs. I strive to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m available during the weekdays and weekends to care for your pet. I am able to give my full time and attention to your pet. I love to have a meeting with you and your pet before I take care or walk your pet! This is so I can get a good understanding of what you are looking for and how I can best take care of your pet.
“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’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a true dog lover who understands the patience, care, and consistency it takes to make pups feel happy and secure. I’ve raised my own puppy from the start, learning firsthand how to train basic obedience commands and encourage good habits through positive reinforcement. I love spending time with dogs — whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog I care for like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well-exercised. You can count on me to be friendly, reliable, and trustworthy while helping your dog stay active, happy, and well-behaved! I am currently working with my company WFH and have flexibility of making my own hours. Weekends Tuesday, Thursday and Friday work best. But if I have 1 weeks notices whole week can work just need prior notice. Pets are welcome to be at our place. I have a 1 year old puppy at my place if not I am available to be at clients place. I live in 2 bed room apartment fenced long back patio. My dog is well behaved and house trained and loves dog company. I live very close to the beach 3 minutes walk and large grass areas around for pet to be relived. I have a large crate at home just in case clients need and dont need to get their own. I will be able to dog on regular potty breaks. Walk your dog separately so they can get all the attention they deserve while dog walks.
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!
“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.
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: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. In the summer time, I also work as a summer camp art counselor. I have updated my schedule with the dates that I’m available. :) I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
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.
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!
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.
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!
Su was right on time and communicated her arrival promptly. She allowed Oscar to get comfortable with her before taking him out for the walk. While that was happening, she also asked questions about Oscar’s demeanor and habits to get to know him better - which we appreciate. Oscar seemed content when he got back from the walk.
Ray was awesome! This was our first time using Rover for dog walking and he handled our 80 lb dog so easily. Our dog liked his friendly nature as soon as she met him and he made sure to keep her moving during the walk. He also handled her very well when she tried to chase a squirrel at the park. Thank your Ray for being so reliable and friendly with our dog and family.

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.

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.
