About: I have two Vizsla's and a Cat! I'm available all weekdays, morning-afternoon and occasionally later evening services. I run with my dogs on many occasions and am very comfortable walking/running with dogs! I've worked at grooming locations and have previously worked at a doggy daycare. In addition to being comfortable administering medications, I can provide active and engaging care for your pets or simply some extra loving! I'd love to help you and your pet(s) out! I am available for services any day of the week! My weekends are pretty open right now. Monday-Friday I currently have the most availability for services scheduled in the morning and late afternoon-evening, but I do my best to communicate establish a schedule that works for everyone! I've got a very active lifestyle that often includes occasional travel, but I will always be transparent and organized about my availability in order to maintain the care your pets need! NOTE: I will be unavailable 7/11-7/18 & 8/7-8/12 I provide services in your/the client's home as my cat, Walter, doesn't love pet visitors :( I am clean and organized, will pick up after your pets and I am comfortable with crating your pets if needed. Other than a happy, cared for pet, I do not leave a trace of being in your home! I can trim cat claws, but I am comfortable with kitties who are not declawed or have no trimming as well!
“Whitney is our Goto dog care person. She is easy to work with. She has hosted Smitty for several days when we anre out of town and she has walked him when we are out of the house for a long stretch of the day. She communicates well and most importantly our dog Smitty loves to hang out with her! Thanks Whitney!”
About: I’ve had pets (mostly dogs) my whole life. I’ve also cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and feel it would be a win-win to incorporate some interaction and movement into my days while caring for someone’s pet. I work remote so weekdays are very flexible. Early mornings and lunch time would be most available. Ideally would be caring for pets in/around the Daffin park area. I have 2 indoor cats, so I am not able to have other pets stay at my home. I am happy to take care of other pets in the client’s home.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With 15+ years of experience caring for large dogs, as well as fostering cats and dogs, I am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I've helped care for newborn kittens, supported animals through surgical recovery, and worked with pets who need extra patience and attention. As a graduate student in Applied Behavior Analysis, I enjoy incorporating gentle, positive reinforcement strategies to support training and good behavior when requested. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in capable hands. I’m currently working towards my masters in applied behavior analysis at Georgia Southern University Armstrong campus, where I will begin classes in the fall, around mid August. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide a calm environment and focus my attention entirely on your pet. If your pet stays in my home, I am happy to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medications, bedtime routines, and any training practices you would like continued. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine consistent and provide plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I believe pets are most comfortable when their daily schedule remains familiar, so I work closely with owners to understand their pet's specific needs and preferences. Regular updates and photos are always provided so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for
“Cassandra was fabulous with our little pup! She was kind, responsive, and took great pictures and submitted fabulous updates! We look forward to having her as our go to sitter and would highly recommend her!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, and have many dogs in my life. I have been dog sitting for 3 years, which consists of walking, feeding, playing, and lots of snuggles! I am very knowledgeable of dogs, as I have been around them my whole life, and am not deterred by any breed, they all need love and care! I am good with any age or size of dog! I am currently only working part time and have plenty of extra time on my hands to have fun with your adorable pups. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. If a dog owner leaves instructions or requests, that is most important to me. However some important things to me are the safety of the dog, I do not allow any dogs out of my sight while under my care, I always use a leash when walking, adequate potty breaks, water, attention, and of course play time!
“Parker loves his walks with Shelby, she is so patient with all his sniffing and squirrel hunting lol. I’m so happy we found her, and am grateful she was available to start on short notice. We are definitely going to make this a regular thing going forward ❤️”
About: I'm a dog and cat mom and understand that pets are family. I’ll send pictures from our visits, playtimes, and walks so that you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks 7 days a week. So whether you are out of town or having a long day at work you can count on me to take care of your furry friend. Please note, I do not accept drop-ins past 7pm for new clients. I will consider later visits for return clients. I treat your pets like my own. In addition to providing loving company and playtime, I'll ensure they are safe, fed, and have plenty of fresh water. I'll make sure their environment is clean and well maintained. Plus, I'll send pictures and updates from each visit.
“Morgan was awesome to work with, she is responsible and punctual and left a very detailed account of the visit. If you need a dependable dog walker/sitter she is the one!!”
About: I have had years of experience with my own animals, family and friends' animals, strays, farm animals when i was a farmhand, and then i worked at a dog daycare. I am also going to be a wildlife biology major, so i'm one of the biggest animal lovers there are My schedule isn't set for certain days, my availability more often than not is usually either completely free (my days off) or i'm free starting 1-3 til whatever time i'm needed. I can spend the night and work my 5-7 hour shift, then go straight back after work I make sure pets receive attention and adequate bathroom breaks, i make sure to add fresh water to bowls as needed, as well as feeding times as to the owners specifications
About: I have experience caring for friendly and well-socialized dogs for friends and family. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy spending time with pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep them updated with photos and messages. While I am still building my experience with more complex situations, I am responsible, quick to communicate, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I work as a content creator and manage a social media account with over 100,000 followers. Because I work independently and create most of my content from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Pet owners can also expect regular photo and video updates during their pet’s stay. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable, and supervised environment, with access to fresh water and plenty of attention. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed and stay aware of the surrounding environment. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy. Safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable, and supervised environment, with access to fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention. As a content creator, I am used to documenting daily activities through photos and videos. This allows me to provide detailed updates so owners can feel confident and connected while their pets are in my care. I take responsibility seriously and pay close attention to each pet’s well-being throughout the day. I also respect my clients’ privacy at all times. Any photos or videos are shared only with the owner unless I have received explicit permission to post them publicly. Protecting both pet and owner privacy is very important to me. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I would give my own pets.
“Emily was very sweet with my dog, and went above and beyond to accommodate me (as I am on crutches.) My dog came back super happy. I will definitely use Emily again!!”
About: My first ever pup was given to me at 3 and until I really understood what it is to take care of a pup, I have been taking care of mainly dogs from family and friends. Although I am not majoring with animals, taking care pets have always been a part of my life and I’m always happy to meet new friends along the way! Family, friends, and many coworkers of mine have all relied on me to walk and give comfort to their pets whenever they are away for the moment and I’m glad to be of reliable service! As a pet owner of 3 rescue dogs, I understand the importance of a routine, making sure to follow directions as they are told, giving comfort, and discipline to assure your pet is in good hands and is acknowledged! And not to worry with asking for pictures, I will bombard my gallery with hundreds of pictures just for you! Because I am free from school and my part-time, I am currently available any day of the week from 12pm-8pm! My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to be of assist at any time for your pups! I can provide any services needed! I live next door to a walking park and I can walk them where it is safe and open for your pets to roam around.
About: I’m a 44 year old animal lover. I was lucky to have spent the last 10 years with my Labrador but unfortunately he had to move on to a world without suffering. He was the best dog ( you know what I mean!!!) now I have too much love to share and space in my heart and would love to share it with your dog. I work 9.5h shifts 4 days a week. So your pet would have to be okay with being able to be home alone for some time. I will make sure tho that before my work day they are the last and after, my first thought. Our house is dog proof (since we owned a dog until recently) and the yard is fenced in and pet friendly. The dog will be able to move around the house freely (when I’m home) and the yard with supervision only!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Ridgewood is $20

Tess was the most help with walking my dogs! She was easy to schedule a walk through with and super accomodating to schedule. She was super sweet to the dogs and took them on a long walk with great pictures! I will continue asking for her help whenever it is needed. Thanks again!
Susan was wonderful with my fur baby, Ezio & he absolutely loved her. No matter when I would contact her, she responded immediately. She updated me on their walk & sent adorable pictures. She was very dependable & accommodating to a few of my minor changes. I will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ridgewood on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,006 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ridgewood. 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 Ridgewood. 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 Ridgewood.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
