“Alina really helped me in a pinch, visiting from out of town but needing dog walks while here. She was communicative, responsive, punctual and, best of all, she clearly loves dogs & walking! My little guy was always happy to see her and walk with her.”
“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”
“Kathryn is all the things you’d want in a dog walker! Clear communication, always on time, and so caring of our dog. We get thorough and funny updates after each walk and super cute pictures of our pup! 😄🐕🐾”
“We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 12 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, including taking care of puppies from the time they were born. I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to adult dogs, and I provide calm, attentive, and loving care. Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. I work from home, so I’m home with the dogs throughout the day and able to give them lots of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles during the day. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of the family while they’re staying with me. The backyard is fully fenced and safe, providing a secure space for dogs to play. I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.
“Cheryl is incredibly reliable and takes such great care of my fur baby. I’m beyond grateful to have someone I trust completely, and I never have to worry about him when he’s with her.”
About: I've had the wonderful experience of caring for the many animals at the humane society including dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, and birds. I've had the chance to bond with animals with a variety of different personalities and background stories. I also have administered medication and cared for animals with different medical needs including chronic kidney disease. I hope to bring my experience and passion for animals to better serve your feline and canine friends. I hope to dedicate plenty of time to spend taking care of your animal companions. I am available in the early mornings and all throughout the day. In addition to feeding and changing the litter box, I hope to check in on your animals to make sure they are comfortable and there are no hazardous items around. I hope to spend some time socializing and playing with them if they up for it! Otherwise, a friendly hello will do.
“I can’t recommend Helene enough! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. My chunky Staffy Luna loved her the moment she met her and didn't even want to come back to me lol. She gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in great hands. She even drives her to a trail near my house, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and even sending me updates and photos. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker, Helene is the best and is very accomadating!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: Hello fellow pet enthusiasts! My name is Patryk and I have been taking care of my own pets as well as the pets of my friends and family for as long as I can remember. My journey started in Poland taking care of a yard full of dogs and has bought me here! I have had the privilege of taking care of a multitude of furry friends, from dogs and cats to lizards and hamsters. Always learning and treating the little furballs as if they were my own. I have two dogs of my own, a 100lb German Sheppard by the name of Max and a beautiful, energetic, little yorkie-poodle named Krystina. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds and have been told I am a "dog magnet". I am a very charismatic person and can say that 95% of the pets I meet love me the other 5% are a bit shy and get the same, world class, treatment as all others. I am excited to meet your pets and give them the time and attention they deserve, as well as lots of petting and walks! Don't be shy, Give me a try ! :D I am self employed and make my own schedule weekly. I am a good person to call if you have a short notice emergency. I am always ready to help those in need ! I have enough space to take care of two dogs a night comfortably. A big back yard and tile floors downstairs just in case for easy cleanup. I have been told I "spoil" my dogs and that they have it so good I could leave my front door and back door open and they wouldn't leave even if you offered treats. Your pets will get the same great treatment. my approach is Love, our animals can feel all the feelings just like we can and I am here to make them feel welcome and safe. I will diligently take care of your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”
About: We are a family of dog lovers. We have a 10 year old Mini Pinscher and we would love to take care of your dog! I work part time from home. Plenty of time to take care of your dog. Nice parks around to visit and a friend to play at home. I have a fenced patio for your dog to play supervised or just a cozy place to relax. My dog is available for play in case is an option for you or not at all if you prefer that way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 27,727 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Northvale. 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 Northvale. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Northvale 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 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 Northvale. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
