“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!!”
“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 ❤️”
“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. 🤪”
“Blanca made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. My dog loved her from the start and getting her updates took all my fears away. I highly recommend her to look after your fur child!”
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.
“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: As someone who loved growing up with no fewer than 5 animals in the house at any given time I have pursued ways to work with animals throughout every phase of my life. I have previous personal, professional, and volunteering experience with the following areas of animal care: -Senior Cat and Dog Care -Special Needs cats (One of my girls now is a special needs rescue!) -Bandaging and Basic Wound Care (1 yr Experience in Emergency Vet Med) -Medication Administration (orally, injection, and suppository) -Diabetic Cats and Dogs (1 yr Experience in Emergency Vet Med) I also have prior experience caring for the following critters: -Felines -Small to Medium Dogs -Reptiles (Small and Large Snakes, Lizards) -Small Rodents (Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, Rats, Rabbits, Mice) -Arachnids -Insects -Hermit Crabs -Freshwater Fish (Goldfish, Bettas, Koi) -Poultry (Chickens and Geese) I am currently a part-time worker who is working to move to a remote position so my schedule is open for morning and evening visits and walks on all days of the week (including weekends)! I am comfortable with animals of all energy levels from sparky Pomeranians to delicate Praying Mantises and am confident I can provide care that fits your pets needs!
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.
“Thank you Logan for taking Greta care of our dogs today. They were happy and worn out. I appreciate you being able to come last minute and putting up with the other dog when he escaped. We have a new plan to go out the back door next time. I appreciate you being flexible and easy. They had a great time!”
“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 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. 🥰

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 believe our fur babies are like our children and they need some love and attention too. I am the oldest of my siblings. I would take care of our black lab named Troy and my siblings making sure all were fed and taken care of since I was 11 . Ive also helped watch and take care of other friends pets dogs and cats alike. So I am here to take a little stress off your life and give your fur babies some comapny and love while you are away. I’ve also worked with trained and untrained animals. I am a student while also working a job full time mainly on weekends.Times may fluctuate but available will be up to date. Ask to see if time is available. I care for all pets dogs and cat’s depending on the need of the owner. I would love to play with them and give them some company. As well as feed and water or cleaning up any mess or litter boxes if needed. If there are any treats that they love I can provide those as well as an update with photos and videos during the visit.
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. ❤️

I have loved animals all of my life and will never cease to do so. I would be delighted to look after your pet! Post Grad student, working part time right now! My schedule varies so feel free to ask questions before booking! My work during the mornings/day so I am almost always free after 4 if not all day! I have an orange kitty named Whiskey, I rescued him in high school and have helped through multiple heath issues and he is now happy, healthy and thriving! I love animals so much, always had a pet growing up and cannot imagine a word without them!
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a deep love and respect for animals.

This allows me to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and any other needs your pet may have. I always make sure to plan ahead and commit only to bookings I can fully dedicate my time and attention to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can feel at home.

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!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,023 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.
