About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
“Lauryn is absolutely amazing!! We are so grateful for her. Our dogs love her and she is so caring and gentle with them. She is very patient with our older dog that has spinal issues and cancer. She spends extra time loving on him and making sure he has everything he needs. I’m am always at peace knowing she is taking such good care of our babies!! Thank you Lauryn!!”
About: My name is Lydia and I provide boarding, drop-ins, walks, and doggy daycare in a safe, loving, home-style environment where your dog will be treated like family. I’m home full time, so pets are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, supervision, cuddles, outdoor time, and play throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, along with a separate dog room for a calm and comfortable space to relax. I also have two large kennels available in our air-conditioned garage for dogs who prefer more space or a quieter setup. I love dogs of all ages and have experience caring for playful puppies, including potty training and routines, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, gentle care, or more frequent potty breaks. While I’m newer to Rover and have only had a handful of clients here so far, I’ve built a strong reputation on Wag with a 5-star rating, 85 reviews, 91 completed services, and many repeat clients. My goal is always to make pet parents feel comfortable and confident knowing their dog is safe, happy, and loved while they’re away! I am very flexible with my schedule and always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is, and keeping their usual schedule helps reduce stress and makes them feel more comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, playtime, crate routines, or bedtime habits, I will do my best to match what they’re used to at home. Since I am an online college student and stay at home mom to my toddler and home full-time, I’m able to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, by providing frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor play, and I always supervise pets while they’re outside. Inside, I make sure all pets have a comfortable space to rest and adjust at their own pace. I can separate dogs if needed and always pay close attention to their behavior to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. I am very attentive and experienced with dogs of all ages and energy levels—from young puppies to senior dogs who may need extra care and patience. I also have experience handling feeding routines, administering medications with clear instructions, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will respect your space and follow all instructions closely to keep your pet on their normal routine. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable, loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

During boarding your pet will be treated like my own, if your fur baby has anxiety not a problem they will not be alone I allow dogs on my sofa and bed so if need be they will not sleep alone. Not potty trained ?? Not a problem, I am patient as know it is a process to everything so trust you puppy will be on the schedule we discuss as to not set them back while in my care . ! ! I love animals and always give them the care , exercise and love they need and deserve and I treat my dog as my child I walk him daily, and open fields to run .

About: Hi, I’m Caitlin! I provide dependable, attentive pet care and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to shy or senior dogs—and I always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk around the neighborhood, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide photo updates and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to me anytime! I always respond fast. I know it’s important to keep our animals in their routine so I can be flexible with times! I like to keep things as normal as possible for your pets. I can play, let them out, go on walks, give treats, etc. No request is too much when it comes to keeping them in their routine.
“Mary was great. She took excellent care of both my pups while i was away. She was very dependable, communicative, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again and i highly recommend her.”

“I’m working on a systematic desensitization of one of my dogs and she was so patient with her! I also accidentally sent her to the wrong address and she still came to hang out with my creatures lol”
About: I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of every shape and size. Between caring for my own dogs, my family’s, and friend’s, I’ve come to be very familiar with their routines, needs, and behavior. My experience with applied behavior analysis lends tremendously to successful training techniques. I take pride in maintaining clean environments, administering meds, and being undeterred by big dogs. My experience as a nanny gives me a unique understanding of working in your most private space. Special instructions are always followed with care and love. I am currently starting my new job as a water safety instructor! My availability may change while I am in training, but I am still open for drop-ins and walks. Unfortunately, due to the needs of my own rescue cat, I am not available to provide overnight boarding services in my residence at this time.
About: Ever since I could remember, I have been raised in a household with multiple dogs. I was allowed to supervise them while my parents would go on vacations, which was always a blast. While working for Rover, I have gained much experience handling elderly animals, administering oral medications, and learning how to bond with even the most timid animals. I love working with dogs and cats since it is a rewarding experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work as a Rover pet sitter and dog walker while completing my online master’s program. I have flexibility throughout the week to schedule walks, drop ins, and pet sitting visits around my coursework. I do ask for about two days notice when possible so I can plan ahead and set aside dedicated time for each pet. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care while balancing my school schedule. I am also very strict with frequent restroom breaks for the pets so they don't experience discomfort under my care. If needed, I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. In addition, I'm always careful with animals and their body language. Your pet must be feeling safe and comfortable with me, so I always encourage owners to meet with me for a meet and greet before I begin visits!
About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!
About: Since I was about 10 years old and had my first dog, a floppy Basset Hound named Happy, I have loved taking care of pets, especially dogs. Just like Happy received, I believe every dog deserves genuine care, attention and affection. I'll be sure to love on and give your dog special care, just like I did Happy. I work from home Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your dog, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home during the week, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. In your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“Robbin has a way with dogs. Our dog loved his walks with her. She was prompt, professional, and sent us a detailed rover card with beautiful photos at the end of every walk. My dog even gave her kisses. We will definitely be using her services in the future, and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life I love them and their different personalities! From walking them to sitting them! Thank you for trusting me with your fur baby! I am currently working a part time job! So I am limited to a few days a week but on those days I am open and flexible! I have a fenced in area and no other dogs to recreate any conflict or anything! Plenty of space to run and play as well.
About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day
About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newark
I cannot say enough great things about Hailey. From the moment she arrived, I felt confident that Kona was in caring and capable hands. Kona wasn’t feeling her best that morning and ended up having diarrhea twice during their walk. Hailey immediately communicated what was happening, kept a close eye on her, and even offered to come back later in the day to let her out again if needed. What impressed me most was her attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine concern for Kona’s well-being. She didn’t just complete the walk and move on—she took the time to provide detailed updates and made sure I knew exactly how Kona was doing. As a dog owner, especially when your pup isn’t feeling well, that level of communication provides tremendous peace of mind. Despite not feeling great, Kona still had a wonderful experience, and Hailey’s patience and compassion were evident throughout the entire visit. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she works with and treats them as if they were her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, Hailey is the person you want caring for your dog. Kona and I are incredibly grateful for her help, and I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Hailey—you truly are the best!

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.

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.
