About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since childhood and am an avid dog lover. I currently am the go-to for all my neighbors dogs while they’re at work.

Weekdays, weekends, days, & nights! I have my own leashes and dog bags to clean up. I would take dogs walking with my dog if desired, or solo walks with just your dog.

About: My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours. We are currently retired and have time to dedicate to your pet. We enjoy being outside and would love to spend time with your dog by either walks, playing in the yard or visiting the park. Our home is pet friendly, allowing your dog to roam freely. We have a fenced in yard for play and a deck that dogs enjoy sunning themselves on. Going for a walk, taking time to understand your dogs needs and just spending time with your dog is our priority.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.
“What a pleasure it is to be able to leave the house for the day knowing our old girl is in great hands! Kristy had her first visit today and I will definitely be using her again! She is kind, sweet, patient and really understands the needs of our senior dog. Rover is a great service”

“Cindy was fantastic! I needed someone to take my dog out during the day when I had to go into work last minute. Cindy was prompt and took great care of my 10 month old puppy while I was out. She even made sure to come over the day before to meet me and my dog to make sure we were comfortable. We look forward to using her services again!”


“Angelica is a great person to take care of your dog or walk them. I would recommend her and use her again in the future if needed. She is always keeping you informed about the walk and if any issues come up. She is always on time and will communicate with you if she is running late.”

“Olivia was so kind with Wally. She even cleaned up an accident that Wally had. She sent us lots of photos and provided us updates. We look forward to working with Olivia again.”

“First time using Rover. I am very pleased with the care provided by Vick for my two Cavachons Kurt and Kyle. She was very detailed orientated regarding their care and provided a nice long walk while we were out all day. A very kind care giver, the boys had a great time with her. Five star performance!!”

About: Supplementing my childhood dog by taking care of strangers pets! If the best part of a dog’s day is dinner time or their walk I am glad I get to be the one who gives it to them :) I’m currently doing school online so I have plenty of time to spend with pets and love to have their company while I work too! It leaves me with pretty much entirely open availability have lots of experience caring for and playing with tons of dogs! The best method is playing so much that they’re too tired to get into any trouble lol!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rumson
Sammy is wonderful with Sherlock! He warmed right up to her, even with his anxious self. His separation anxiety is why we hired Sammy, in the summer we love our beach yoga, but in our part-time condo, no one wants to hear a loud beagle howl at 730 am on a Saturday. Sammy to the rescue, using distractive methods (walking, treats) we all can maintain our Zen. Thanks Sammy

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 Rumson. 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 Rumson.

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 .

- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
