“Elena is awesome! Burtski loved his walk with her while we were helping move his sister down in OH. He also loved having his dinner at his normal time. She sent us the cutest pics. Thanks so much Elena for taking such good care of him.”
About: I have a large, fenced in yard - perfect for lots of play. Pets have full range of the house and furniture unless crating is desired. I have two very playful dogs who love to chase and play tug. I work full time night shift Sunday-Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday. My boyfriend is home the nights I am away. Dogs will rarely be left alone and if so only for 1-4 hours. My home has a fenced yard as well as an invisible fence due to my dogs being super expert escape artists. I am used to dogs being sneaky so it shouldn’t be an issue keeping yours safe and secure.
About: I have cared for my family pets since I was 12. I bathed, trimmed nails, fed and administered medication to them at any time it was needed. I’ve become really fond of animal care as I’ve grown. I have worked at a pet store for about 3 years and have a good understanding of body language and the patience for animals who may need a little time to warm up. I currently work at a dog groomers in the morning to late afternoons. I don’t have a set schedule so my days change often but I’m always open to communication and working things out to accomplish what we need. I have a open floor plan in my home. Other pets to keep them company as well. I always say no one knows your dog better than you and I fully stand by it. I want to keep your pet in as normal, healthy and happy environment as possible. Any directions or tips on your pet care are always appreciated. <3
“Brittany is very reliable, patient, and good with my dog. We always appreciate when she can squeeze time in her schedule for us. She takes extra precaution and care making sure Harley is comfortable and safe and her little acts of care go such a long way! We highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone they can trust with their loved ones 😊”
“Jess was such a wonderful pet sitter. From the first time I requested a meet and greet she was incredibly responsive. She was so patient with our skittish pup and very understanding when we had to reschedule when my daughter got sick. She went above and beyond making sure the dogs and house were well taken care of. All her efforts were noticed and very much appreciated. Thanks again Jess!”
About: I've been around animals all of my life, from growing up on the farm to living with pets through my adult life. My animals are very important to me and we treat them like part of the family! I work full time, but have full availability to care for your animals in the evenings and weekends. Even during the week, I can make time to care for your animals! I have a fenced in yard and own a six year old Labrador retriever who loves to play and is very friendly with other animals. He gets along great with other dogs, and loves his cat sister. Our yard and home is a very secure place for your pet to stay.
About: I grew up with dogs, and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Genesee County in Michigan as a teenager and at Soul Dog Rescue in Colorado as an adult. I have experience walking and handling all kinds of dogs and I've loved every minutes of it! I'm a WFH tech research worker so I understand the importance of routine and responsibility when it comes to care services. My apartment complex now sadly doesn't allow dogs otherwise I would have one of my own. The silver lining is that I'll use that energy to love and care for your pup as my own :). I have a full time work from home job so my hours are flexible during the week to attend to your pup! I tend to be punctual and responsive because I take caring for your pet just as serious as my day job. I'm also available nights and weekends to stop by and make sure your dog is well cared for. I have experience dog/cat sitting outside my own home so I'm very comfortable caring for animals in their own space. I love to keep routines as normal and expected as possible, so I'm likely to ask questions about what your dog expects on a day-to-day basis so I can reduce disruption and be a source of fun/comfort for your pet.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and absolutely love animals! I've had many different types of personalities with all of the animals I've had growing up so I know how to handle many different dogs and cats. I'm not ready to adopt a dog or another cat yet so I would love to be able to spend some time with more animals! I love to be outside and being active, so I would love to take your dog on walks and have plenty of experience doing that. I also have experience with house/pet-sitting and would love to spend time with your dogs and/or cats while you are away. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so that you know they are in good hands!

I have my own space in the basement which can allow some privacy for your pet and can be crated if needed. My home also has 4 dogs of our own. Visiting your home and taking care of your pet is always an option and very easy going on what needs to be done in order to give the best experience
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and I have recently found a deep love for cats. I have 2 large English mastiffs and have taken care of dogs of all sizes!

About: I am looking to find dog owners with high energy dogs. The huskies, labs, healers etc that need to put in miles every day to stay happy. I can show up for my listed dog walking rate ($10) and can then run anywhere from 2-20 miles with them for an additional $15/mile. Message me if this is something you would be interested in!! I work in outside sales from home 4 days a week, the the other 3 I am on the road for 8-10 hours a day. I have 2 friendly dogs and am very energetic, I run/walk multiple times a day and spend most my time outside. Very patient with dogs and can help leash train.
“Daisy did a fantastic job walking my dog, Callie! She was very punctual, went the extra mile (literally!), and clearly takes her responsibilities seriously. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates—it gave me great peace of mind knowing how the walk went and how Callie was doing. Callie seemed very happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Daisy and would happily book with her again!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Golden Retriever. I have cared for neighbors, clients and friends dogs when they are out of town or if their dogs just needed extra love. I am retired from GM but work part time just a few hours a week. I am available from 9am-9pm, and overnight if needed. My 2 year old Golden Retriever Samson and I would be thrilled to spend time with your babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I live less than 1 mile from the Thompson Rd dog park and I have a dog run outside my home. My 2 year old Golden Retriever and I frequent the park daily. We also take walks around town. I am a full time pet sitter and I take my job very seriously. I am available 24/7. I am home all afternoons, evenings and overnights. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a dog run outside in my yard and also visit the day park daily. My 3 year old Golden would love to play with your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Newark on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 1,613 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 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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
