Max is fantastic! Great communication and observant of Nox’s needs. He overheats quickly and Max was considerate to ask if he is ok or if he should end the walk early. Much appreciated will book again 😁

Jim walked my dog Rogan while my Dogwalker was away. He was great (on time, professional, experienced, affectionate, and playful)! Rogan was a very happy pup! I will definitely be reaching out to Jim again!

Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!

From playful puppies and energetic dogs to independent cats and cuddly seniors, I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’m young, active, and enjoy making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities. Currently work retail full time 8 hours shifts with 2 days off a week that vary. I am available for house sitting however please keep in mind that I will have to leave your home to go to work.

First time meeting Petey. She is great! He was a little reluctant to walk, he barked at first. Food motivated so a little treat at introduction and now he knows who she is, and it was a really good first time walk. 👍🏼😊

Darlene is amazing with my dog and he LOVES her!! She always provides the full 30 minute walk which I truly appreciate. She also makes sure he eats before she leaves, and she is always in great contact with me. I truly always look for Darlene's availability when looking to book my dog for a walk. I would definitely say she is the best I have used on here and I will recommend her again and again!

About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for wonderful families in my community. I recently joined Rover to connect with more pet parents and expand my pet care services. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playing fetch, sticking to feeding routines, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so if I board your pet, I’ll be home with them throughout the day, giving them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I work from home so if I'm boarding your pet I will be with them all day giving them lots of walks and attention throughout the day. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and lots of exercise through walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m able to be with them throughout the day, provide timely meals, potty breaks, and make sure they feel comfortable and settled.

About: I’ve had a close relationship with dogs from the day I was born, and am a firm believer that dogs are the family we choose. I first met my dog Sophie when I was 3 years old and I could never be separated from her. I took care of her until her old age of 18, when she sadly passed away. I also took care of our dog Ernie, whom we got when I was 14, and took care of every morning and afternoon before school. Some of my past experiences in taking care of dogs includes feeding the dogs specific meals based off of their diets, walking dogs 3-5 times a day, making sure they have went to the bathroom, and playing with them either outside or inside with their toys. I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs, and dogs less than a year old. I’m looking for part-time work and can contribute entire days to look over, walk, and take care of your pets! I have late, overnight, and weekend availability. I love taking care of dogs and meeting new friends! I’m currently working part-time, but always manage to take care of my little Ernie at home to ensure he’s well fed and cared for. I’m available in the mornings, afternoon and evenings, as well as late, overnight and weekend availability. I have a fenced yard and am trained in feeding dogs as well as getting them to go potty in a healthy way. Am always incredibly attentive with every dog, especially a dog that isn’t my own.

About: I love dogs more than people 😉 and have been around them my entire life — from Silky Terriers to German Shepherds. I’m a responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring person who will treat your dog like my own. We currently do not have any animals in the home, which allows me to focus fully on your dog’s care and comfort. While we live in an apartment, we’re just a few blocks from the beach in Asbury Park and have access to excellent walking routes. I take dogs on long daily walks of at least 3 miles and am always happy to go farther if that suits your pup. I’m especially understanding of dogs who may be anxious or reactive around other dogs. I know how stressful it can be to leave a dog with behavioral sensitivities, and I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I currently work outside the home three days a week. My husband works for the city and is home daily for lunch, so your dog will never go longer than about three hours without a potty break. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I spent 12 years caring for a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, so I understand how important structure, vigilance, and clear communication are. I take instructions seriously and will follow your care and safety guidelines closely — whether that means avoiding other dogs, using specific equipment, or sticking to a familiar routine. Our home is calm and pet-focused, and we currently do not have any animals, allowing me to tailor care to your dog’s individual needs. I’m attentive, proactive, and thoughtful in my approach, and I’m committed to creating a safe, predictable environment where your dog can feel secure and relaxed.

About: I provide calm, high-quality pet care for dogs and cats who deserve thoughtful, attentive companionship while you’re away. With over a decade of experience caring for senior, medically sensitive, and young animals, I approach each pet with patience, structure, and emotional awareness. I grew up with two dogs and now share my home with three cats, so caring for animals has always been part of my daily life. I am deeply committed to giving them abundant love, attention, and a safe, nurturing environment — and I extend that same care to every pet I look after. I have hands-on experience supporting senior cats with complex health needs, including kidney care, digestive sensitivities, medication routines, and careful monitoring of appetite, hydration, and litter habits. I understand how essential consistency and routine are for older pets and those managing chronic conditions. I am comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions with precision, gentleness, and reliability — ensuring your pet’s routine remains stable, calm, and stress-free in your absence. I’m currently enrolled in a master’s program with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their established routine to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I follow detailed feeding schedules, provide fresh water, structured walks or playtime, and keep litter or potty areas clean and well-maintained. I pay close attention to appetite, hydration, energy levels, and behavior to catch any subtle changes early. For pets with medical needs, I carefully follow all medication instructions and monitor them closely. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment so your pet experiences as little stress as possible while you’re away.

Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with Katie! She’s been absolutely wonderful with our large (and sometimes stubborn) golden retriever. Not only does she take him on walks, but she also stays to play with him afterward, which he loves. Katie is reliable, kind, and great with big dogs. Highly recommend!!!
