About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. Friends and family always come to me to watch their dogs when they need it! I am very trustworthy when coming to pet sitting. I do weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I can occasionally do weekdays. Depending on my school schedule I can accommodate to your needs for pet care (Monday and Tuesday if needed). I am willing to sleepover at the owners house, I will feed, walk, and care for the dogs thoroughly. If not sleeping over I will be there routinely for the dogs.
“Summer is a perfect match for our family!! Super reliable and our dog loves the time she spends with him… from walking to playing out back. She has made our lives so much easier. Knowing she is coming is a huge relief he will not be alone too long. Highly recommend Summer!”
“Lisa has been walking my dog for nearly a year and I can't recommend her highly enough. My schedule can change at the last minute and she always works with me. She always updates me on how their walk goes and let's me know if something seems off. She treats him like we do - as a member of our family. It would be difficult to trust him with someone else after finding Lisa!”
About: I have worked at animal shelter as the dog room manager for 4 years. Fostered and rehabilitated over a dozen dogs/cats. I love animals and creating meaningful connections with them. I am great at reading dog and cat body language and will always do my best to meet your pet’s personalized needs! I am a teacher who is off for the summer. I am incredibly flexible. During the school year I work part time and have a lot of availability as well. I am dedicated to maintaining the individualized schedule for every pet to ensure their care is as stress free as possible. I understand pets thrive with predictability and I am focused on creating a safe and predictable environment for them.
“Carly was always on time and my dogs loved to walk with her. She provided consistent and helpful updates after the walk and was always easy to communicate with about schedule changes or general questions.”
“Joshua was amazing! We reached out to him the day before we needed our sweet pittie girl walked and he was quick to reply, so kind and the communication was great. We will definitely have him walk her again!”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years and can provide a calm, loving and patient environment for your best friend. I have a large, grassy, fenced in yard for endless zoomies and we live very near trails and pathways for walks. I work very close to home and am currently part-time (6 hours) daily. I live independently and have a pet-friendly home with plenty of space and freedom. I am an early riser and love long walks in most weather. I have a large, fenced-in yard and live near multiple trails for long walks. If I am visiting your home I can spend extra time playing and hanging out with your best friend. I am experienced and confident in administering dog meds and caring for elderly dogs.
“Joanna was great getting to know Sandy and was very caring towards her. She asked questions, shared concerns and we shared ways to make her stay more comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Joanna again!”
“Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was always punctual, communicated clearly and consistently, and treated my dog with such kindness and care. It was clear my pup felt comfortable and happy with her. On top of that, Andrea is genuinely lovely—inside and out. Highly recommended!”
About: I have owned dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even frogs and have adored them all. My experience with dogs spans many breeds from Shar Pei to Labradoodles and each of them have their own unique needs which I am more than happy to meet. I currently work at Capital Health on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 am until 4:30 pm. I am available all hours otherwise and am flexible with my scheduling. I have a senior dog that recently turned 14. She has a lot of special healthcare needs such as requiring help when going up and down stairs and only being able to eat special meals. She has been in my care since she was a puppy and required many hours of play and higher supervision. I am able to care for dogs of all ages and I’m more than happy to do so.
“Kat was amazing!!! so responsive and communicative, sent photos and was all around just so pleasant! It’s so clear she loves animals and she genuinely loved spending time with our pittie girl. Will 100% be booking with Kat again and again!”
“Mathew is very responsive and saved the day when I needed to find a walker in a matter of hours. He took time to understand my dogs personality & behavior and was very communicative about the experience. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had experience with pets of many ages. Puppies/kittens, adults, and senior pets. I’ve had my own dogs and cats since I was 3 years old, and friends and family trust me with the care of theirs. I also have 2 gerbils! I love caring for animals no matter what it takes. I currently work part time, so weekdays preferably in the morning and afternoon work best for me. I could also fit some time in the mornings on weekends. I can take your pet on walks outside, in your yard, and use crates in the home if needed. I can use whatever resource in your home you’d like me to.
“Honor is great. She plays with our dog while I am away and my wife is at work, walks him all over town and is very communicative every single day. I would highly recommend her.”
About: When I’m not at work, I spend most of my time with our 9 year old rescue dog Cooper, or spending time going on walks as a family. In my spare time, I’ve had the pleasure of fostering 7 rescue dogs in our home until they all were matched with a loving family and their forever homes❤️. Lover of all animals (cats included, although I cannot pet them due to allergies🤧). I enjoy getting to meet and take care of all sorts of pets on Rover. I’ve even had the chance to feed a families horses while they were away on vacation. If your fuzzy family member needs a babysitter, a nice walk, or anything in between then feel free to send me a message! Currently open 7 days a week for availability. Feel free to reach out regarding availability or with any questions, and I’m also happy to do a meet and greet if preferred. For high energy dogs I have taken them on neighborhood walks, hikes, or played toys with them. I always let the pet parent guide me on what their dog is up for. We have a senior dog gentleman of our own, so for dogs with a milder temperament I am happy to take them on short walks or can hang inside with them if that’s more their speed.

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 Pennington. 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

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.
