“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!”
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 has been walking my pup Brady for a few months now & he absolutely adores her!! She is extremely professional & loves what she does, I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi there! I am the owner of Peachy Keen Paws, a dog sitting and walking service. I currently bounce between Nutley, NJ and Easton, PA therefore I am opening up to taking new clients in and surrounding both areas. I've been working with dog rescue for the past 6 years and have 3 pups myself. All dog breeds and sizes are welcome, we don't discriminate here! My schedule is currently flexible. I am open to taking in new clients in the Easton, PA area along with Nutley, NJ and surrounding towns. I have a lot of experience with Houdini dogs trying to escape, therefore I'm extremely hyper aware at all times. I also have the ability to sense a dogs emotions and intentions which help with interactions!
“Booked last minute. Geoff communicated quickly, followed all instructions & took good care of my pup. He was very punctual and Fanta had a great time with him. Thank you”
“Really glad that we found Jonny who helped us out for multiple walks with our dog. He was very responsive, always prompt, great with our dog, and flexible when our needs changed. I would recommend him to anyone and will gladly book within him again!”
“We were worried about trusting another person to walk our dog since she's a shy rescue, but Megan made everything perfect. She was very calm and patient with her, very professional, and never missed a dog walking appointment. I'm now officially a fan of this service and hope there's an opportunity to book with Megan once again!”
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.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs at every stage. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to adolescent dogs learning good habits, to our sweet senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and anxiety levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. Some dogs want an adventure buddy, some want a cuddle companion, and others just need a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a high school teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and highly communicative. I'll treat your pet like a member of my own family and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm a teacher on summer break with flexible hours. I understand our furry friends don't always live by the same schedule we do, and am happy to provide them with the midday walks/socialization they need so you can come home to a happy pet. I'm happy to provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. Care in my home involves comfy couch access, walks on streets with sidewalks, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is my top priority, so I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. Upon request, I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

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

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.
