Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.

About: Hi! 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! :)

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.

About: I've walked my friends' rescue dog and helped take care of her. In addition, I have helped out friends and family members with their dogs. Also, I took care of a puppy for seven months. I am patient, gentle, energetic, and genuinely enjoy playing with the dogs. My values include always cleaning up after the dog. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking is something I am excited to do consistently. My current focus is on dog walking, rather than caring for pets in my own home. In a client's home, I would care for pets by following each owner's instructions carefully and respecting their home and routine. I would make sure the dog is safely leashed before we head out on a walk. During a walk, I would keep them secure and comfortable, clean up after them, and make sure they are safely back inside afterward.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.

About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! I am available most days during the day, weekends included. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I should almost always be able to accommodate your requests. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog, so your dog will be housed safely, and will have a four-legged friend to play with. I take my dog on frequent walks and would be excited to take yours along with us.

I’m currently working from home part-time and work is flexible so I have time to play with your dog or let them out to go potty in the backyard or take them for a short walk. I’m also available on the weekend. I have a fenced in yard and have my dog who gets along with everyone to keep your dogs company. We also have crates and can crate when needed.

About: Our family dog, Rosie, a beautiful black toy poodle, passed when she was 16 and I was 21. I always took her on walks, fed her, and she slept with me. Ever since Rosie's passing, my family and I aren't ready for another dog, but I miss having one around. When a good friend of mine told me about Rover, I knew I would be the perfect candidate. I'm caring and gentle and every dog I sit will get the proper amount of attention. Dogs are like children, all they need is care and love! I'm currently working with my mom's company, Zoom Rides For Seniors. It a ride share service that focuses on caring for seniors and the disabled. We take seniors to their doctor appointments, the grocery store, wherever their hearts desire. I only do local rides and all of my rides don't take longer than 20 mins and then I come right back home. If I'm not home, Trish will be home since she's the owner and mostly in her office. I don't work after four either. I live in a five bedroom house, plenty of space for your fur baby to roam in. He or she can sleep in their crate in my brother's old room, which is down the hall from me. We do have a massive backyard that goes up on a hill, but we also have a closed deck where the fur baby can freely play and go to the bathroom in. I will probably be going outside on the deck each time as well to watch him or her.

Megan was fabulous with dog. She was prompt, kind, and patient with him. She was watching him on extremely hot day and he didn’t want to walk so she just brought him in the backyard and then stayed and played with him in the house. Would highly recommend Megan!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ridgewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Ridgewood on Rover is $26.75 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 27,324 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:

  • 88% 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.
