“Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve spent years volunteering in different countries socializing, walking, and caring for all different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have genuine love and affection for every dog and their personalities and want them to get plenty of exercise and care to keep them happy and healthy. I”m currently working part time on weekends, so I will have plenty of time most weekdays for regular scheduling. I can commit to a regular routine as needed. I will happily create a positive space and relationship with any dog and make them feel genuine compassion and trust. I have plenty of space in my UV for safe transport if needed.
“Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!”

“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”
“I was looking for a new dog walker after my last one recently moved, and after extensive searching, I found Bryndon. He accommodated my last-minute booking and quickly gained the trust of my reactive dog, Shaggy. Shaggy was excited every time Bryndon came back to walk him, and I was impressed with Bryndon's responsiveness. I am looking forward to booking with him again in the future.”
About: I have about 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, backgrounds, and temperaments, including strays, purebreds, puppies, senior dogs, working breeds, and dogs in multi-pet households. I have experience with basic training, puppy care, medication, special diets, enrichment activities, structured routines, and dogs who need a little extra patience or attention. I’m also comfortable caring for reactive dogs and understand how important consistency, awareness, and following a pet parent’s established routine can be. I’m happy to work with dogs of all life stages and always try to provide the same attentive, dependable care I would want for my own. I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule. This is because I prefer to focus on only a couple of clients at a time to ensure that all pets in my care are receiving the absolute best support and attention I can provide. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved animal and someone’s personal space. I’m respectful of your home, belongings, routines, and boundaries, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. That can include walking your dog along a preferred route, ensuring your cat has their favorite toy or treat, keeping to established feeding and exercise schedules, or taking them on approved outings such as a park visit or another familiar activity. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are being treated with care.
About: I have experience dog sitting and walking family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Hi! I’m a dependable pet lover offering drop-in visits and dog walks in the Bergen County area. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if needed), and plenty of attention so your pet stays comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for family and friends’ dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’ve also raised three cats since they were kittens (my oldest is 7 years old). Living with cats has taught me to pay attention to body language, routines, and the little details that help pets feel safe and relaxed. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time with each pet rather than rushing between visits. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I aim to be reliable, communicative, and gentle with every animal I care for, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience and care I give my own. I provide safe, reliable drop-in visits and dog walks to keep your pets happy and comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure every walk is safe and enjoyable
“Casey was great! She was right on time for the walk with my puppy Brandy, took her around my neighborhood and even played with her a bit inside before putting her back in the crate.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shepard, Corgi and Setter. Presently we have a rescue named Layla that we saved and love 💗. She was so fearful and shut down when we adopted her but with patience and love we gave her the confidence and security she needed. She is living her best life. I have taken care of my friends and family’s pets for years; dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs and hamsters. And even an Amazon Parrot. I’m available on the weekends. Can take you fury baby on walks and play dates. Can feed and give medication if needed. Available to spend time with senior dogs if walks aren’t an option. I can walk/play and feed your fury baby. Any specific requests will accommodate. Can set up doggie play dates. I am willing to visit and sit with senior dogs that may have restrictions.
“I needed a dog-sitting service last minute, and Angela came through in a big way! She was super responsive and made sure my dog was well taken care of despite the short notice. I got updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. My dog seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”
About: I've taken care of pets for a long time, a long 15 years, and I'm dedicated to helping your baby out, because our pets are our families. I work part time, and have a larger apartment with tons of yard and plenty of enrichment time! I will be home majority of the day as well! I have a large fence for my own dogs and have spare bowls and dog/cat food if that is necessary. I also have tools for brushing and cleaning!!
About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - River Edge
Amanda was amazing!! My dog is anxious and takes some time to warm up to people. Amanda took her time with him and they became fast friends! She sent lots of pictures, was always providing updates and just did a wonderful job in general! I cannot recommend her more.. very very happy
Sophia was absolutely amazing with Bishop! From the very beginning, she was kind, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious he was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such great care of Bishop!
I can't say enough about Elizabeth! She was wonderful! I was so worried about finding a dog walker, and she eased my fear. She's definitely confident when it comes to larger breed dogs, the size and look of my dog did not faze her! The initial meet and greet went well! And I think it helped with the relationship between her and my dog.. I'm so relieved that we have someone that we can count on! And someone that my dog likes, and it comfortable to go on walks with! Thanks Elizabeth!! See you next time! 😉
Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in River Edge on Rover is $26.75 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 28,200 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across River Edge. 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 River Edge. 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 River Edge.

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 River Edge. 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.
