About: Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all temperaments and needs. I have two of my own — a 15 year old dachshund (that lives with my mom) and a 5-year-old pitbull and an outdoor Bombay cat, that stay with me. My pitbull struggles with anxiety and can be destructive, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency it takes to care for dogs that may need a little extra attention. Beyond my own pets, I’ve cared for a variety of households: * Pet sitting for 4 Yorkies at once for a week * Managing 2 senior dogs and 2 cats in one home * Drop-in visits for dogs needing company throughout the day * And more.. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and reliable care. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort always come first! My work schedule is Mon & Friday 9am-5:30pm working from home. Depending on the distance I can provide walks/visits during my lunch break from 12pm-1pm and any time after 5:30. Available all day every Saturday and Sunday Open to any accommodations that your pet may need. Drop in visits, pet sitting at my home or your home, daily walks, trips to the park, car rides, whatever you may need I am open to hearing about your needs and discussing what we can do.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets and spent a lot of time caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking their dogs, feeding their pets, playing with them, and making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I always make time to give each pet the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I communicate with owners, provide updates, and make sure every visit is a positive experience for both pets and their families. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and secure by respecting their routines and giving them plenty of patience, attention, and love. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. From the family dog to the neighbors that are going out of town. I would feed the cats outside that usually ended up becoming a village. I care for two amazing cats now that are well behaved (Orange cat to the best of his abilities). I have an action camera that I can bring along upon request. I also like to take pictures so if allowed I’ll return some great pictures of your pet! I am an early bird that works from home with a very flexible schedule. I also go for evening walks around the park which are usually filled with dogs. Weekends are usually free. My cats get groomed weekly and have a food schedule that adapts well to their growing diet. When we dog sit our friends 2 Australian Shepard they are full of energy and get walked 3 times a day. Same goes for the family Boxer that has a few more years on him so he goes for a mild walk around the park.

“This was my first time using Rover or any dog walking service, let alone have anyone aside from myself, dad, or brother take care of my pup. And I have ZERO regrets. My dad was supposed to stay with my dog for the long weekend I was away, but last minute he couldn’t and I needed a plan B. I came to Rover to see if I could find a solution and I did- Peter! My pup is very lovable but also not easy, and many are too scared or just don’t want to deal with him. Because of that, I wanted to do a meet and greet first, which Peter happily agreed to. After just one visit, I knew that not only could he handle my dog and he would be well-taken care of, but knew they both were about to become buds. I was able to go away and not have any worries, especially since Peter gave very thorough recaps of his visits and pictures. Needless to say, my heart and mind were put at ease and I can’t think him enough for that. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future and I know Thor will not mind at all.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve also helped friends by caring for their pets in my home while they were away. I’m responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making them feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays for drop offs and walks, and I always make sure pets are fed, exercised, played with, and given lots of affection throughout the day. Im flexible so i can have pets over my place as well as the client place. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and routine are. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Currently a medical student. I've been the primary care provider for our family dog and my best friend "Bama" for the past 11 years. I'm also the go-to friend and family dog sitter whenever the need arises. I have earned trust due to my love of life as a biologist and as a respected Eagle Scout. I know each life form has its own beautiful soul and should be treated with kindness and respect for that reason. I have pet care experience with dogs, cats, mice, and fish. I am currently a medical school, therefore, unemployed and have a lot of time to walk, play with, and give long belly scratches to furry friends. Animals make me extremely happy, so their happiness is also of utmost importance to me. Outside of my own personal experiences interacting with pets, I have also taken many courses in animal behavior and the biological basis of animal learning. I have a very solid understanding of why animals do the things they do and this allows me to adapt to whatever circumstances and/or needs of the pets or animals that I interact with. Whether that be crating a dog, training a rebellious puppy, or interactions with other dogs.

About: Hello! I’ve grown up surrounded by furry friends, learning early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. In my adult life, I had the privilege of having my own wonderful dog, who sadly and suddenly passed away recently. While I’m not yet ready to adopt another dog, my love for their companionship remains as strong as ever. I’m dedicated to providing the same care and attention to your dog(s) as I did for my own. I understand the special place they hold in our hearts and importance of trusting someone to look after them. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate your needs, even last minute. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help! Due to my flexible schedule, it allows me to provide consistent walks, feedings, and playtime. Your pet will have plenty of opportunities for socialization and any training reinforcement, if that’s what is required to ensure the routine is kept to your liking. I ensure a comfortable and familiar environment for your pets whether it be my home or yours. In both settings, I maintain their routine with regular walks, feedings and plenty of play or down time. My priority is to create a safe, loving atmosphere where pets feel happy and secure.

About: As the granddaughter of a veterinarian, I have always had the most immense love for animals. Two-Three dogs and cats in the household was quite normal for me growing up. So, when I moved out and I started attending school, I knew, if time and resources permitted, that I would eventually want a pet of my own. The universe provided me with my baby girl nova. A Lab/Pitbull mix with lots of playful energy, kisses and cuddles to give. We embarked in her favorite adventures, car rides, parks, pup cups, and enrichment toys. As I have moved states to pursue higher education, I no longer have the resources to relocate her with me and therefore, she resides in the care of family and a family friend. I know how important it is to have help, community, and the necessary resources when taking care of another living being. Therefore, I wish to help others in any way that I can to care for their own fur baby! As a part-time student, my availability is pretty open. I am unavailable Tuesday/Thursday 11-1pm and Wednesday 10-1 pm. Any other days/time I am available, as long as travel time is accounted for. Each pet is different in terms of their needs. That is why I believe it’s important to follow clear instructions from pet-owners. In my home, pets are respected as fellow residents, and cared for with love:).

I cannot recommend Victoria enough! I’ve had my dog Nala for six years, and this was actually the first time I’ve ever gone away and left her in someone else’s care without having a family member or someone I personally know stay with her. I’ve always been extremely nervous about leaving her because Nala can be very reactive and aggressive toward other dogs after being bitten a few years ago, so I don’t trust just anyone with her. From the very beginning, Victoria was so understanding of Nala’s needs and completely respectful of the fact that she can be difficult around other dogs. She handled everything so calmly and confidently, and I felt like Nala was in really good hands. What meant the most to me was that Victoria went above and beyond what I expected. She didn’t just come in, take Nala for a walk, and leave. She spent extra time with her inside, hung out with her, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her the attention and companionship she needed while we were away. You could genuinely tell that she cared about Nala and wasn’t just there to do a job. As someone who has always had a hard time trusting other people with my dog, Victoria gave me something I honestly didn’t think I’d have on vacation: peace of mind. I was able to enjoy my trip without constantly worrying about how Nala was doing, and that meant so much to me. I am so grateful we found Victoria, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. I will absolutely be using her again! Nala loved having her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her. ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in North Arlington is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 28,461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Arlington. 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 North Arlington. 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 , 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 North Arlington 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Arlington. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
