“Elena S. is wonderful! We just started using Rover for the first time a few weeks ago and I was a little hesitant about hiring someone we didn't know to walk our dog, but we lucked out with Elena. She took time to come and meet us beforehand and was so nice! She walks our dog 3-5 times per week and always sends us photos from their walks. And, most importantly, our dog loves her! It brings a lot of peace of mind to know our dog is in good hands while we're at work.”
“Jessica is great with my Australian Shepherd, in the summer she’s taken him on walks in the park and in the winter she’s considerate of the conditions so he doesn’t get hurt! She also always checks his water and gives him some attention which I know my little guy loves! Thank you for taking care of my Aussie, I really appreciate it!”
About: I have been around pets my whole life. I had a beagle that was 2 when I was born so I grew up helping care for her. I have cared for turtles, fish, and a chameleon. Currently, I have a cat that I have raised from birth. I have helped my aunt with her two golden retrievers when she needed someone to take them out during the day and feed them while she was at work or away on vacation. For the past two summers, I have cared for my uncle's 12 year-old chocolate lab when their family is on vacation. She is a senior dog that needs a little more care and consideration. I am a recent high school graduate and my summer is open. I am attending Mott Community College in the fall, so I am also not going away to school. I plan to provide service to the client at their home. I currently live at home, so I can't care for animals at my house.
“Brittany came over on an unscheduled day to walk our baby girl. She sent us lots of pictures and made sure our fur baby had fresh water before leaving her. Thank you so much for showing so much care and love for our baby girl.”
“Taylor has been walking my dog for a week and it’s been amazing. Taylor is very caring of my dog who has some anxiety. She takes her time and makes sure my dog is comfortable and gives great updates. Definitely will be continuing working with her.”
About: Top notch dog sitting: I’ve doggy sat dogs of all ages all the way from 4 weeks old to 17 years old, tailored for your furry friend :) I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pup or kitty throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment tailored to their needs. This includes regular feeding and water replenishment, exercise and playtime, administering medications if required, maintaining cleanliness, and providing companionship and affection. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your dog is safe and doing well. 📸🐶🦮🐩🐾🦴🐈😺🩷🤳
About: Hi! My name is Nicole. I have been an animal lover my entire life and pet owner for 30 years. I am also a volunteer at an animal sanctuary where I work with abused, neglected, and homeless dogs. I love spending time with animals and making their days brighter. I would love to meet your fur baby! I am available on the weekends or evenings during the week for drop ins, feedings or for walks. My schedule may change for personal days. I always will ask what special needs or medical issues your pet might have. I take these needs into consideration when visiting and take them seriously. I have experience working with special needs, senior, and fearful pets.
“She was so sweet and took the time and patience to make my dog feel comfortable when she was a little nervous meeting a stranger. She also took extra precaution on the walk when they approached other dogs, because my dog has been dog reactive in the past. At the end of the walk, she asked if I wanted her to bring some packages inside for me. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Daisy is such a joy to work with. She is so amazing with my dog reactive Great Dane, she always takes extra precautions and steps necessary to make sure their walks are a success and as low stress for both of them as possible. Today, with less than an hour before Harley’s scheduled walk, I threw Daisy for a loop and asked her if she could go to a different house that she’s never been to before to pick Harley up and on top of that, asked if she would mind bringing a friend to walk my stepsister‘s dog who was there with Harley. She had no issue accommodating to these plans and did not even expect to get compensated for the additional time and effort (which I absolutely did anyways). I would highly recommend Daisy to anybody looking for somebody to care for and love their pet! She is so amazing!”
About: I have loved all pets since I was kid;) I normally help friends with their dogs, but I was trying to branch out;) I used to just have cats, but we added two bunnies to the mix and may adopt more. I work full time Monday-Friday at home, but I have a lot of flexibility, as long as I get my 8 hrs at work in;) I would prefer the clients home to visit. I have 3 cats and 2 bunnies at this time;) My place is relatively smaller and pets like to be in their common place.
About: Hi! My name is Christine and I live in Holly. My dog Mozzie and I have a fenced in backyard that is about an acre for the dogs to have fun running around. In this house we do dog snuggles and belly rubs mixed in with outside adventures in the backyard. I love making homemade dog treats and provide them to any dog that is allowed. Creating a home away from home or making them comfortable in their own home is what I strive to provide our furry friends. Our family has always had dogs in the home as well as I have worked with professional sled dog teams in handling and exercising the dogs. Dogs have always been number one in my life and I can't wait to meet your furry loved one so that I can add him or her to my fur friend circle!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newark on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Newark.

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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 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.
