About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I see “pets” as people; they are not just animals; they are family. Ever since I was young, neighbors, family members, friends, and even my former cheer coach have trusted me enough to care for their pets. I have experience staying in clients’ homes for extended periods of time, making sure their pets are fed, walked, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your baby, and I always treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I grew up with animals in my house. We’ve always had Dachshunds (Wiener dogs) and multiple cats at a time. Even though I’ve never had a big dog of my own, I’ve been a sitter for many family friends with black labs and golden retrievers. I hope one day I’ll be able to have one of my own! I’m currently a SCAD student who just finished her 5 week summer courses and I’m looking for ways to make some money before school starts. My weeks are fully free without class. I can take your dogs on walks or play with them at the dog park. I have also previously walked a cat in a stroller, so if that’s something you’re interested in doing, I would. I do live in an apartment on downtown, so I don’t have much yard but there is some outside my building. We don’t have a big backyard which is a bummer. Sometimes military aircraft fly by our house and tend to be very loud for animals who have a hard time with noise. But it is close to Forsyth park!
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, from medium to large, and lived with and cared for cats for many years. Animal care is a huge passion of mine, which is why I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I am able to house watch and walk dogs, and care for both elderly and young dogs and cats. I work a part time job, and have time in my weekends and weekdays to care for pets from house watching to walking. We can work out whatever fits into that schedule. I can do extra tasks needed to keep a home maintained and make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Whether that’s chores or medication, specific eating or potty times, and so on.
About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
“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!!”

“Mary was phenomenal with Cavu! She was very accommodating to his needs and the communication was easy and consistent. Cavu can be a little particular and she handled him with patience and care. Would 100% book with her again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“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’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!

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: I am currently a student in Savannah and I have been around dogs since I was born. Being away from home I miss my own dog and would love to spend time with yours. I am comfortable around dogs of any size and I have been dog sitting and taking care of our family dog for almost ten years. I am currently working from home so I am free whenever because I make my own hours. If I am available for some reason I will be sure to let you know. When taking care of a pet in my clients home I will follow all the rules they state. I will play with the dog in your fenced in backyard or take the dog to the park to run around.

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’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way! I grew up with dogs and now share my home with two cats, so I’m experienced with both canine and feline personalities. I’ve always had a natural bond with animals; they seem to sense my calm, caring energy, and I love how quickly they feel comfortable around me. What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine patience and love I bring to every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has unique needs, whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs extra playtime, a senior pet who needs a gentler touch, or a cat who just wants cozy company. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m available throughout the week after 11 a.m. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and needs, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications, so they can stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m also mindful of keeping environments secure, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly handled. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your furry friends with a caring, safe, and stress-free experience.
“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.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,043 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.
