“Jack is reliable, always on time, and took care of Frida twice a day for a week while I was away. He was nice, respectful, and easy to communicate with. Frida really enjoyed him — on one of their longer walks, I think Frida actually walked him! 😊 I would definitely recommend Jack.”
“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”
“Lisbeth has been a wonderful addition to our family of pet caretakers! She is always on time and polite, and Ravioli always has a good walk- looking forward to having Lisbeth help us for a long time!”
“Eilleen is the best! We’re so lucky to have found her. Lucy loves her so much and they have the best time together. Super reliable, friendly, and responsive! Thanks, Eilleen!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for being patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in each dog’s comfort and happiness. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy who needs structure or a senior dog who needs gentle support, I adapt my care to match exactly what your pet needs. I primarily work from home so I’ll have lots of time with your pup! I follow feeding and walking schedules as instructed. Mainly walks in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I have a large fenced in yard and a neighborhood that is great for walks. The home is also spacious to give your pup lots of room to eat, sleep, and play!
About: Hi! My name is Amy, and I’m a rising sophomore at Boston College. I’ve lived with dogs since I was 8 years old, so caring for them has always been a part of my life. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their personalities, keep them safe, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Being away at college means I don’t get to spend as much time with dogs as I’d like, which is why I’m excited to help care for yours! I look forward to giving your pup a fun, safe time and making sure you have peace of mind while they’re in my care. I am currently home for the summer, and am available and flexible. I do have some work and family events that I have blocked off on my calendar, but other than that, I am open to bookings! I have a very large, fenced in yard with a pool. In the summer, the pool is not covered, and my oldest dog loves to go swimming or take a quick step in to cool off. We have a variety of toys and dog beds in our house, and we also have two sets of dog gates.
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving lots of attention and affection. I have an energetic dog of my own, so I’m especially comfortable keeping active pups happy and entertained! I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own. 🐾 I work full time, but my schedule is very flexible and I work from home many days of the week. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and spending quality time with your pup! I’m also available on many evenings and weekends. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am current graduate student at Ramapo college looking for a new way to spend time with dogs (since I can’t get one of my own just yet)! I just ended my time volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay as a short term volunteer with completing my undergraduate degree. In the past I have worked at a dog daycare taking care of 15-20 dogs at a time. I pet sit for friends and family all the time but I am looking to meet new furry friends. I’m currently working part-time and attending school full-time on two nights a week. During the week, I have some nights free, and before classes, I have mornings and afternoons free! I will not offer in-home services as I have a family pet that does not get along well with other dogs, but does great with humans.
About: Hi! I have 22 years of experience and 55+ five star reviews here on Rover. I love dogs since I was 6 years old. I specialize in taking care of small dogs up to 25 pounds. I currently have 2 pups - 3 year old Yorkie named Cosita & 3 year old pug named Madrid. Before them, I've taken care of my pugs, Miami & Aliza (both 16 years old when they passed away in December 2020 & February 2021), along with pets of my neighbors, friends, and family friends. I know almost every dog breed by heart. My favorite dog breeds are Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers. I am available during the work week to take care of your fur baby, as I work from home part-time. This means that I am able to provide your pet with plenty of attention and exercise, even on weekdays. I am also able to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs, such as if they need to be fed or let outside at specific times. I am committed to providing your pet with the best possible care, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs - my Yorkshire Terrier and my Pug - to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed (only if you instruct so)... I am also experienced in dog walking and drop-in visits. I make sure that your fur baby has water, food, and is able to do their business outside. ****I only accept dogs that weigh no more than 25 pounds**** Please feel free to reach out to book me and ask me any questions and/or comments! :)
About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy
“Great with our girl Ruby! So happy to have found Courtney. Shes been wonderful in helping us with our 8 month old boxer. Asks for recommendations to improve Rubys experience, follows instructions and keeps us in the loop with updates.”
About: I have many decades of experience caring for various dogs and cats. I love them all. I am also a detail-oriented, trustworthy, and dependable person. I have very open availability and a reliable car, so with a few days’ notice, I can fit caring for your pet into my schedule. Safety is my top priority. I make sure everyone has been fed, brushed, litter boxes cleaned out. I also love to hug and love them.
“Janette was so sweet! I felt bad because my husband left on a trip and it was such a last minute request. She still was able to fit Finn in and provided pictures and a great report card. Finn was so happy! :) thank you again Janette!!”
“Madison goes above and beyond! She is on time, punctual, communicates well and is an overall fantastic sitter! I’ve used her several times and will again should I ever be in the area again!”

Jack is reliable, always on time, and took care of Frida twice a day for a week while I was away. He was nice, respectful, and easy to communicate with. Frida really enjoyed him — on one of their longer walks, I think Frida actually walked him! 😊 I would definitely recommend Jack.
Noelle was punctual, reliable, and so sweet with my dog. This was a last-minute booking, and I really appreciated how quickly she responded and was able to help. She took him for a walk, made sure he was fed, and took great care of him. I would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Ridgewood on Rover is $26.75 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 27,510 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.

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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
