I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

“We had a fantastic experience with Tom and can’t recommend him enough. He stepped in on short notice to help take care of our husky, Talc, and completely exceeded our expectations. He was reliable, communicative, and took the time to understand Talc and make him as comfortable as possible. We were especially happy to hear such positive feedback about Talc’s behavior while we were away – it showed how well Tom connected with him. We’ll certainly be reaching out again next time we need a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker for Talc. Thank you!”

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. My experience with pets since childhood has given me a deep love and understanding for animals! I am very excited to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. Which means offering them attention, playtime, and cuddles. When they are in my care, my goal is to make your family member to feel safe and comfortable- as well as you! I am currently as stay at home mom! Which means I can give your loved one the attention they deserve! With me, you can feel confident knowing your pet is getting the best care in a home where they’re treated like family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! With a fenced backyard, they’ll have plenty of space to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I make sure the environment is secure so they can safely explore without worries. If your pet is crate-trained or you’d prefer them to have their own space, I’m happy to crate them when needed. It can be a calm, cozy spot for naps, meals, or quiet time. In addition to providing a safe, fun environment, I make sure they feel at home—whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, or a quiet corner to relax in. I keep them on their routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and ensure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. If your pet doesn’t get along well with other dogs/cats then I am more than happy to provide a safe and fun space for them as well with planning together as well!

I’m knowledgeable and reliable when it comes to any dietary needs and your animal’s health and well-being is my top priority.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, cared for my own dog for 15 wonderful years, and currently share my home with my cat. Losing my dog in 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer reminded me just how much our pets mean to us—they're family. That experience deepened my appreciation for providing patient, compassionate care and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and safe while giving you complete peace of mind. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable daytime, evening, and weekend availability for walks and drop-in visits. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate recurring walks, last-minute requests, and holiday bookings with advance notice. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During every visit, I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (when applicable), preferred walking routes, and any household routines. I take the time to ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before and after every walk or visit. I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also believe communication builds trust. You'll receive prompt updates, photos, and a summary after every visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I have lifelong experience as a pet owner/lover as well as a decade of walking and caretaking experience. I specifically have developed excellent walking etiquette and liken myself to a walk-trainer for younger dogs 🐾 I am self employed which gives me more than ample time to give my utmost attention to your babies. I also take a two (or more) mile walk everyday already so it's always a great joy to have companions/break it up throughout the day! I live in a duplex with access to the fenced in front yard in an extremely safe neighborhood. There is also a crate, pee pads, treats, beds, love abundant in the home.

About: Hello! My name is Brittney. I’m a 28 year old animal lover. I’ve had pets my entire life & I love to be around animals! I work in the Medical Device Sales industry, but am always looking for ways to turn my passion for animals into side income. I also have a 3 year old hound mix rescue myself so I’m occasionally looking for a dog sitter / walker. I’m comfortable with and used to being around / working with dogs & cats of all ages & sizes. I am an active volunteer with 2 Hands Saving 4 Paws Rescue & Purrs N Pups Rescue - this includes helping them run monthly adoption events and fostering animals as needed. I have experience with dog parks, giving oral medication, walking dogs of all sizes & giving doggie baths. I’m primarily available for dog walking & drop ins but am open to house sitting as well. My schedule at the moment can be pretty flexible, so I can accommodate to your needs! Message me if you have any other questions about me or about my availability, I’d be glad to answer them :) I love dogs & cats of all sizes & don’t discriminate against any breeds. I promise to love & care for your fur as if they were my own!

About: I’ve had my dog, Winston, for 10 year's. My family is usually busy, so when i’m home i make sure to walk him at least once a day. I’ve watched a few of my friends’ dogs and cats as well, and have walked multiple dogs from my neighborhood. I work from home 3 days a week, which allows me the flexibility to consistently walk my own dog and take care of his needs- and I am more than happy to do the same with yours! I can crate dogs, take them out, feed them, play with them, show them love, and just spend some quality time with them! I always make sure to respect boundaries though and read their body signals when they need space.

trustworthy and reliant 👍🏼 Melissa took care of my yorkie babies & my daughter’s basenji. I was not sure at the beginning because Basenjis could be difficult to handle if you have no experience with the breed. Melissa gracefully and patiently gave Belle a chance to warm up to her and everything worked out on day 2 She treated the 3 dog babies like they were her own I felt at peace that somebody like her was taking care of the fur babies while I was away Thank you Melissa

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nutley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Nutley is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 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 28,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nutley. 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 Nutley. 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 Nutley 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 Nutley. 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.
