“Connie takes great care of my pup on her walk visits. She sent updates and pictures which gave me peace to know she is in good hands. Connie did everything the way we discussed and I came home to a content, happy dog!”
“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals and have experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve helped walk and play with my aunt’s dog and make sure he’s safe and comfortable. I also used to cat sit when I was younger, where I fed, played with, and cared for the cat. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I always make sure they are well cared for and comfortable while their owner is away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I make time for it around my other commitments. I have gymnastics training Mon, Wed, and Fri from 8am-12pm, and Tues and Thurs from 12pm-4pm. I am away on weekends, so I am only available during weekdays outside of those practice times. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, so I can make sure pets still receive reliable and consistent care during my available hours. When walking dogs, I’m focused on safety and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I keep dogs secure on leash and stay alert during walks. I also pay attention to each dog’s behavior to make sure they are comfortable and have a positive experience.

About: Greetings! I am a true lover of ALL animals. Especially Dogs and Cats💕 I owned my beloved cat Tigger for 13 wonderful years, and now I have a furry “brother” named Chance, a fun-loving Jack Russell Terrier who completely steals my heart! I love visiting him, taking him on walks, cuddling, playing, and of course enjoying all those happy oxytocin-filled moments. He literally goes crazy when I walk through the door! 🐶 What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I give to every animal. I don’t just “watch” pets — I spend quality time with them, play with them, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I will: Feed and care for your pet responsibly Take dogs on walks and give them exercise Play, cuddle, and provide companionship Keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean Treat your pet like family I also have a lot of experience caring for children, so being nurturing, patient, dependable, and attentive comes naturally to me. If you’re looking for someone who is honest, fun, compassionate, and truly enjoys animals, your pets will LOVE having me as their sitter! 🐾✨ Right now, My brother Chance and my besties Dog Nikki who I case around ( or she chase me around every chance I get! I don't have a daily pet routine N/A I donot care for pets in my home. Should someone desperately need cat care I will try to accommodate. ( I'm more than happy to help)
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.
“Tierney was great with our dog! Gave us a detailed report card and sent some awesome pics that showed Mona-Lisa had a great time on her walk. Would definitely recommend to someone else and will be using her in the future.”
About: Hello all! I have previous experience caring for a hamster and am currently the proud owner of an American Pit Bull Terrier. I’m passionate about training, grooming, and overall animal care, and I’m always refining my skills. I work in healthcare and fitness, so I’m active, hands-on, and detail-oriented. My strong work ethic, communication skills, and personable nature allow me to build great relationships with both people and their furry friends! I have open and flexible weekend availability, and I’m available most weekday evenings as well. I also enjoy working early morning shifts and am happy to accommodate those when needed. I love outdoor walks and playtime—I have stamina for days! I’m also comfortable handling grooming, as I do all of my own pet’s grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always want pets to feel comfortable, enriched, well-rested, fed, and, most importantly, loved.
About: I've been caring for pets for a little over 5 years now. I used to work at a pet store handling fish, birds and small animals as well. I have a 5 year old golden retriever as well as 2 cats. I can help administer medications for dogs and cats that need it. I can also care for elderly dogs and puppies. I don't mind bathing them or doing nail trims either. I'm currently a college student doing online classes so I have plenty of time to drop by a clients house or to have them come to mine. Right now Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays work the mest with my schedule. I would be more than willing to negotiate other timings as well. I have a fenced in backyard and a dog to keep yours company. My entire house is pet friendly and welcoming. I can also crate your dog if needed and make the environment more comfortable for them
“I cannot express how grateful we are to have found Jake! We were unexpectedly put in a very stressful situation when our longtime dog sitter became unavailable one week into our two week trip. We were facing the possibility of having to cancel the remainder of our plans and return home. In over 15 years of having multiple dogs, I have ALWAYS done a meet and greet and spent considerable time walking a new sitter through our home, routines, and VERY specific instructions. We don't have just one or two dogs. We have a six pack, each with very different personalities, routines, and needs! We had six to eight people familiar with our dogs who unfortunately weren't available to step in. Thankfully, my sister had recently met Jake through Rover for her own dogs and had a wonderful interaction. While that gave us some reassurance, Jake had never been to our home or met any of our dogs! This was a big change for me (and the dogs). Jake and I spent nearly an hour on the phone going through everything. He was competent, patient, communicative, supportive, and, most importantly, willing to step into a situation that was far from ordinary. Jake succeeded, our dogs succeeded, and we are very very blessed for this outcome. One more thing worth mentioning. I have always chosen female dog sitters, simply because I assumed that was the most comfortable fit for our household and dogs. Well, Jake has now changed my perspective on that. Thank you, Jake, for turning a potentially disastrous situation into such a positive experience!”
“Our dog loves the time he spends with Michaela. She happily accommodates our requests to extend each visit to allow time for play and a feeding on top of a walk. She sends photos and updates which puts us at ease. Michaela is flexible and responds quickly - both of which we appreciate so much when planning care for our dog! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Diana was very kind to our dog, our home, and did a wonderful job overall. It was our first time using a dog walker to look after our pet and we would use her services again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I work from home so I’m always available for your fur baby. I live in Flemington with a big fenced in yard which is great for running around and play time. I also will go on leashed walks around the neighborhood. There are lots of toys here and will treat your baby like my own. I’m currently a fur mom to two year old Penny. She is a 12 pound Havanese who loves other dogs. She will play and love your fur baby while they are in my home. I do prefer to watch smaller dogs that are under 40 pounds if possible. Thank you. I work from home so I have lots of time to take the dogs out in the backyard, play with them and go on leashed walks. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours the same. I have a fenced in large backyard so your dog will be safe. I also have a 12 lb Havanese that will love playing with your fur baby.
“Shirali was wonderful and my boys instantly got along with her. Very communicative, and I could tell she truly enjoyed my pups. I will definitely be using her in the future if she is available!”
About: I'm an experienced dog-walker, sitter, and owner. I adore dogs (sometimes more than humans!). I take extra care with each dog I have the privilege of being with - whether it be a walk, an outing, or a cuddle. Dogs need love, attention, and understanding just like us and I make sure to provide that as much as I can. I am also a volunteer at the animal shelter and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I'm very flexible! Around weekdays and can be free on weekends if needed. I'm willing to work with your schedule! My job and life allow me to be open. I respect your space and needs and follow your lead on how best to care for your pup. I currently am not taking dogs in my home.
“Ece has been walking my Gus for two weeks now and I’m very happy I booked with her. So is Gus! He felt comfortable with her from the beginning. Excellent communication and very attentive to Gus’s needs—thank you, Ece!”

Chandra did an amazing job walking my dog, Sengay! He came for a meet-and-greet before the scheduled walks, which really put us at ease. He was incredibly attentive, spent extra time walking Sengay, and kept us updated with beautiful photos along the way. His genuine love for dogs is evident in the way he cares for them. I highly recommend Chandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog walker!

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 Skillman. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
