About: Hi, I’m Ev :) I enjoy collecting vinyls, hiking, and cooking. I have experience in dog and cat sitting. I consistently dog-sit a beautiful Beagle named Felix, whom I love and treat as if he were my dog. He is turning 11 in a few weeks, and I have been dog-sitting him since he was 3 years old. There are a few photos in my profile with Felix. I celebrate his birthday every year and spend some holidays with him as I have developed a close bond with him. I have more time now, and I would love to expand my services to more people around northern New Jersey and care for more animals. I have my own 4-legged baby at home named Mango; he is also pictured in my profile, the small little blond dog. He is a Peruvian Inca Orchid mix rescue from Peru; he's really sweet, trained, and is friendly with other animals; he just likes to sniff them first :) Under my care, your dog will be given plenty of attention and love. I work from home, so I can be with your pet all day. I also have a fenced-in yard, so your dog can have as many potty breaks as needed or to simply enjoy the outdoors. I would walk your pet twice a day, morning and night, for a 20 minute walk minimum; if the weather is nice, then it extends to 30 minutes each time sometimes even an hour. They will be let out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I provide a playful environment for any dog; I have plenty of toys and treats for them. I also have a fenced-in large yard so that they have plenty of space to run around. I am also very cautious and observant when having a dog at the house or walking them; they will be supervised at all times.

“Karina was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly patient with my pup who was very unsure about the walks at first. She gave me verbal progress reports about their walks and how he did. She communicated well if she was running late or if we had to adjust our scheduled walks. Highly recommend her and most definitely would book her again for future walks!”

About: Furry friends are family too. My experience in the care field has taught me humility, compassion, and a strong commitment to service. I am equally dedicated to providing attentive, respectful care to animals with the same level of professionalism and kindness I bring to human care. I am free Mon-Fri starting 9:00AM until 7PM. I would love to help you with your pet care needs. I adore dogs and cats. I understand the importance of caring for all loved ones, including pets. I bring compassion, attentiveness, and a strong commitment to supporting the well-being of animals and the meaningful role they play in our lives. I also prioritize maintaining a safe, clean, and organized environment, and I am able to carefully follow instructions. In addition, I enjoy engaging pets in both indoor and outdoor activities that promote their physical and emotional well-being.

About: Ever since college, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting small lap dog size to giant Great Danes. I first started to find a running buddy and then it turned into a fun job for me. It even helped me buy my wife her engagement ring! I own an aussiedoodle who is always active and have learned quite a bit through dog ownership. I’ve helped several neighbors in various cities and can provide references from some awesome families. I work as an at home teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to provide drop ins, dog walking, and house sit so your pets can feel safe in their space. I’m very good at following directions and leaving spaces the same if not better than I find them. I plan to communicate as often as requested and am willing to help with clean up.

About: My promise to you is to treat your pet(s) as you would treat them. I’ve had a sheepadoodle for 5 years, and have the same amount of experience with pet walking/sitting. I have impeccable references available to prove that I am the candidate you would want to care for your pet(s)! I’m a school teacher, available to care for your pet on weekday afternoons/evenings 4pm or later. On weekends, I have no time restrictions. I can adhere to any special modifications/requests you may have, such as working with the owners with crating, walking, and playing. I tailor my services for each client, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all service.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve cared for my own senior dog with health needs, including giving medication, keeping an eye on any changes, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. That’s made me really detail-oriented and tuned in to each dog’s routine. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I always follow instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I want your dog to feel calm, cared for, and happy, and for you to feel at ease too. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to plan around scheduled bookings and keep my availability updated so pet parents can count on consistent, dependable care. I provide attentive care in both my home and a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, and make sure pets are not left alone longer than necessary. For walks, I focus on safe, structured outings that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day. I can feed your pet, administer medication, take them on walks or just simply hang out so they are not lonely while you are gone.

About: In the past I have recognized the needs of my pet and responded to them. I always recognize when my pet doesn't want to play anymore and give him/her space. I always show pets affection and never uses physical punishment or force. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have strong interpersonal and communication skills. I am very patient with pets. I am obsessed with dogs and love to play with them. I don’t mind walking dogs at all. I love to spend time with dogs. I used to own an English bull mastiff she was very big and sadly passed from age. I don’t mind bathing dogs or being with them all day and night because I find them very relaxing and fun to be around.

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

About: Hello! My name is Joanne. I have owned pets since I was a child, and I love walking my dogs and taking care of them. I own three dogs (one who is a female maltipoo adult, one who is a female morkie adult and another who is a male maltese senior). Everyone can get busy sometimes, and no good pet owner would want their furry friend(s) to not be taken care of. I will channel my love and energy towards your pets. I will love and cherish dogs/cats of any breed, age, and size! Reach out to me for needed services. At this time I have open availability. My availability will be dependent on the services being rendered for your dog/cat. Let me know if you have any questions. I have a fenced yard and pet friendly household that is consistently clean. In clients’ homes, I will ensure all requests are followed. Thank you.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!

Morgan was an absolute gem. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I booked her for dog walks last minute while I was already out of town and my sister with little kids was watching my dog but struggling to do walks. Not only was Morgan prompt with responding, she was responsible and thoughtful. A great communicator. My dog Bolognese loved her. She even spent time one night helping my sister in finding her dog who had gotten out. I cannot speak highly enough of her, she’s the best.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Prospect Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Prospect Park is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 27,436 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Prospect Park. 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 Prospect Park. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Prospect Park 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 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 Prospect Park. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
