“Jessie was great! She got our pup out for walks during the hottest part of the summer and was able to read when our dog was ready to end the walk. Would totally recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was a child and I’ve always loved being around them. My 4yo Finn is the most gentle giant you could ever meet. He’s basically a nursery dog and gets along with every new friend he meets! My 3yo Lily is my little princess and she loves when new friends love her. She always goes belly up to show she’ll be a best friend for life and will always make your pet feel comfortable first. 🥰 I’m very patient and always loving. I give them my time and undivided attention. Your animals will be showered in love and (with permission) all natural treats that won’t hurt the tummy! I like to spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs playing fetch and tug so your pups are sure to get their legs stretched! No lazy dogs here!! Lazy dogs are accepted and equally loved and cared for. ❤️ My schedule is constantly changing but it’s very flexible so I put full availability on my calendar. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me! My first priority is always the animals! I have a fenced in backyard for visits and stays at my house. Plenty of space to play. Animals are allowed on furniture. Anywhere as long as they’re comfy and safe. And I follow directions 100% whenever it comes to house-sitting. Some leave detailed instructions, others give verbal instructions. I just like to make sure the pet owner is completely happy and I like to treat their pet as they would be treated any other day in their life. In complete comfort and happiness. 🥰
About: Growing up my household was always blessed with multiple animals. Some of my best childhood memories revolved around my dogs. I had a German Shepherd, a border collie, a Rottweiler, and a couple of rescue pups. My childhood gave me an appreciation for the intelligence and love that dogs can show. I'll admit large bois hold a special place in my heart but there's room for all sizes! I currently work part-time as Coach in fitness. I teach classes early morning 5-9 and late in the evening 3-8, So I am available outside of those classes. I am generally completely available during the weekends! I am very active, I have a lots of stamina and strength to keep up with the pups! I am also very health conscious :)
“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: Even as a kid I was taking care and spending time with my elderly dog Rusty, so dog care comes naturally to me. I will always stay with your pet and make sure they are always happy, fed, and full of love! I'm currently working between 25-40 hours but my relationship with my employer is amazing, I can request a schedule change or even take days off for when you need me I will always be attentive and aware to your pets needs and ensure they will never feel neglected and are given the love and care they more than deserve!
“Shelby is super reliable, friendly, and always going above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe and comfortable with her! She even brought her dog to play with mine, knowing that my dog lovessss to play with other dogs his size. I will be continuing to book her services!”
“Bianca saved the day. I needed a sitter at the last minute. She swooped in and did a wonderful job. I will definitely hire her again. My dogs were so much happier when we got home compare to how upset they tend to appear when I pick them up from Kennel.”
About: I grew up with a big animal-loving family. I currently care for 2 dogs of my own who I love with my who heart. Growing up, I took advantage of volunteer opportunities and small pet-sitting gigs whenever I got the chance. I love animals and I would love to make your pet feel happy and healthy! I am a graduate student currently with a very flexible schedule to do some pet care on the side. I tend to need breaks in between course loads and study sessions so taking care of your pet will be the perfect time away! I have 2 friends dogs to keep your pet company during any boarding visits as well as easy access to nearby parks and dog parks if that is something you are interested in! I love to explore so I am also happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard!
About: Hi there! I’m Lindsay - lifelong dog lover, professional cuddler, and proud parent to one very beloved Border Terrier (and three wonderful human boys!). I grew up with dogs, and after graduating from Stanford, I spent years in California dogsitting alongside my corporate career. These days, I call Savannah home, where my partner and I both work remotely full-time, meaning your pup will have company, care, and cuddles all day long. Our home is calm, cozy, and full of dog-obsessed-love (and yes, dog decor and family photos to prove it!). We have a large fenced-in backyard perfect for fetch, zoomies, or a good sunbathing snooze. My own dog is the ultimate “velcro dog,” so I understand how important attention, snuggles, and routine are for your pup’s happiness. We use Rover ourselves when we travel, so I know firsthand how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pup is in good hands. I send frequent photo updates (because I love a good pup photoshoot!) and know how much it means to see that happy, tail-wagging face while you’re away. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family because that’s exactly how we see them ❤️ Both my partner and I work remotely full-time, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. In the evenings, we’re often out at our kids’ sports or activities, so there may be a short 1–2 hour stretch here or there where the dogs are home relaxing (depending on the season). Otherwise, we’re pretty much here and ready for cuddles 24/7! Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard for safe play and frequent potty breaks. Inside, dogs have free roam of our cozy, lived-in home, complete with comfy couches, soft beds, and plenty of snuggle spots. I take introductions slowly to make sure every pup feels at ease, and I closely supervise all playtime. Because my partner and I both work from home, someone’s almost always here to keep an eye (and ear!) out. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. ❤️
“We are so pleased with Arden. She met us for a meet and greet first and Mia loved her ! It was love at first sight. Mia loves the tv on and Arden even made sure it was on during our time away . She went above and beyond for our sweet girl . I felt so comfortable having her care for Mia and I have never left her before this. We look forward to having Arden again for our next time away ! Thank you Arden !!!!”
About: I have experience in pet care for 15+ years and currently work for a pet care company in Savannah that I used to manage for! I currently dedicate 100% of my work time to pet care!! Pet care is my full time job and I’m extremely passionate about caring for all kinds of pets!☺️ I am well acquainted with how important timing can be for babies especially those who need to go outside to potty breaks ASAP or have medication needs! I have experience pilling animals and giving injections as needed! I have worked with special needs cats before, and pride myself on befriending even the most difficult babies, though I feel they are only difficult because they need more time to trust people☺️💖
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!
“Kaitlyn and Michael are THE BEST!!! They’re not only great with our puppy, they’re wonderful folks who are a joy to work with. Our puppy enjoyed being with Michael so much, I wasn’t sure she’d ever want to settle for us ever again. 🤪”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa, a work-from-home dog mom who understands how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pup like my own. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine and care instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and attention, or a little extra company, I’d love to help! 🐾 I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m available in the mornings, around lunchtime, and in the evenings for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I enjoy being able to take breaks throughout the day to spend time with pets and give them the attention and care they need. In my clients’ homes, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine and your specific care instructions, whether that means going for a walk, letting them outside, feeding them, giving them medication, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m respectful of your home and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. I’ll also keep you updated during each visit with photos and a quick note so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Whitney is amazing! She always takes extra time to make Leo feel extra loved while we’re not home. She checks in with her plans, is always on time and sends extremely cute pics.”
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.
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.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Ridgewood is $20

Morgan was absolutely amazing with Sparky! She was so sweet, caring, and attentive. She always sent me lots of pictures during their walks along with the sweetest messages and updates, which made me feel so comfortable knowing Sparky was in great hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and enjoyed spending time with him. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Sparky, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Jessie was such a pleasure!!! I came to Savannah for a weekend getaway with my parents and needed a dog walker. She did a meet and greet with us and then took my dogs for a walk the next day and gave me a thorough review on them. Such a sweet lady and I could tell she loved my dogs as if they were her own.
We are so pleased with Arden. She met us for a meet and greet first and Mia loved her ! It was love at first sight. Mia loves the tv on and Arden even made sure it was on during our time away . She went above and beyond for our sweet girl . I felt so comfortable having her care for Mia and I have never left her before this. We look forward to having Arden again for our next time away ! Thank you Arden !!!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ridgewood on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,039 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:
- 94% 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.
