“Vivian put our mind at ease while we trusted her care with our dog. She was patient and supportive, while providing such detailed daily updates of our furry friend. Highly recommended for her services!”
“Kind, reliable, conscientious … if there were more than 5 stars, I’d happily award those. Marc walked my foster dog for a week while I was on vacation and was amazing. Great communication and, as importantly, consistently great care for my pup. Highly recommended!”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages and personalities, including a special love for senior animals. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with special needs and I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need—whether that means slower routines, medication support, or just a calm, comforting presence. I’m also experienced with more independent or “spicy” cats and dogs through my time volunteering at a local animal shelter, and know how to read their boundaries, build trust at their pace, and make them feel safe without forcing interaction. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time and intentionally build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also like to set clear expectations with owners ahead of each visit so I can make sure I’m meeting their preferences and providing consistent, reliable care. I am happy to accommodate all requests according to individual pet's needs after a conversation with the pet owner! Any questions or requests, feel free to reach out :)
“Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs. Her walks are long and just the right amount of time for my pup to burn energy. She even plays fun games to also make the walks more mentally stimulating. I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!”
About: During my time there, I handled various dog breeds and played/walked dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and puppies. I have worked with animals that have disabilities. I also have walked and played with my family and friend’s dogs when they needed a dog sitter. Prior to dog walking my family friends dogs, I was a Pet Care Specialist for several months at Morris Animal Inn. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animal and/or animals! I am available on week days, and/or weekends if needed. I will make sure your animals safety is my top priority, and can give them treats if needed. From working at Morris Animal Inn, I have experience and knowledge of working with animals.
“Gabriela was amazing, she treated my dog as if he was her own. When I got home I could see he missed her!! Great communication and very dependable! Thank you Gabriela, will definitely see you again soon!”
“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”
“Nicole does a great job with walking and doggy day care! Both of our girls have different energy levels and Nicole is great at catering to both! We'll definitely continue to use her and are very grateful for finding someone that understands our dogs and really cares about their well-being.”
“Elissa is amazing! She is super nice and very responsible. She walks my dog several times a week and I never had an issue. Always on time and she makes sure he gets good exercise and some play time. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

“Nathalia is a gift that keeps on giving. She cared for my 75+ lbs mixed breed during my weeks long work emergency and saved the day by providing first class professional and personal care for my dog when I couldn’t make it home in time to walk him. She turns the adage: “if you want something done right you have to do it yourself” on its head. If you want pet care for your fur baby done right you get Nathalia. She helped me during my emergency when no one would. And she provided phenomenal care. My dog lives her!! I swear you’d think they’ve known each other for years but she just met my dog four days ago and they’ve bonded on the first day. And that is a huge relief not having to worry about someone actually caring for and about my dog. My kid. Nathalia isn’t just a dog walker, she’s a caregiver, she genuinely cares about my dog. She cares about every animal. She’s wonderful. She came through for me at the last minute and she has been kind, patient, professional and even loving. Like…literally loving my dog. Nathalia is the Platinum Standard when it comes to “Who Can I Trust to Take Care of My Baby?”. Thank you very, very, very much Nathalia, for taking great care of my dog. Definitely will be repeat clients.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nutley
Cynthia has been absolutely wonderful with my stubborn puppy, who took to her from day one. She truly is a dog whisperer! She is patient, caring, and treats my dog as if he were her own. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for my dog, and that gives me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog walker. The love, attention, and care she provides are truly exceptional.
Carolina is fantastic and I highly recommend her! She is punctual, communicative, and our Doggo really loved his walks with her! She sent us plenty of photos of Oli on his walks and photos of him eating his dinner and drinking water. We will definitely continue to reach out to her when we need Oli to be walked! Thank you Carolina! 💕
Krista has been an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a true love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and personality. My pup gets so excited every time she comes by, which says everything. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker!
I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough as a dog walker. She is consistently reliable, punctual, and deeply attentive to my dog, Emma’s needs. From day one, it was clear that she genuinely cared about Emma — not just getting the job done, but making sure each walk was safe, engaging, and enjoyable. And that was important because Emma is a lively dog who eats everything in sight. Communication is always prompt and professional, and I appreciate the regular updates and photos after each visit. Most importantly, Emma absolutely adores Kathy and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. Knowing Emma is in such dependable hands gives me complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate, Kathy is an outstanding choice!
Jack was great with Loki and Luna! This was our first time working together and everything went smoothly. He communicated well, sent photo updates, followed instructions, and the dogs looked happy after both walks. I really appreciated the professionalism and care. Would definitely book again — thank you

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Nutley on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 28,194 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 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 Nutley.

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 Nutley. On Rover:
- 88% 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 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.
