“Excellent, professional and very loving and caring. Very trustworthy. She’s takes awesome care of my lively 5 year old and my blind and deaf old man. She’s wonderful! Very highly recommend”
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.
“Hiral has walked our dog Hank a few times now and Hank always has a great time with her. She sends pictures and updates throughout her visit, even feeds him if needed. She is our go to!”
About: I have been fostering for over 15 years and petsitting for about 5 of those years. I took a break for some time when I moved to Texas, and then the pandemic added to that. Most recently, I was taking care of my grandmothers dog.. essentially a hospice situation, and spent most of my time loving up on him. Since his passing, I would love to get back into it so can provide care and love. I’m used to all breeds, but have the most experience with bully breeds chihuahuas, and most medium size breeds like shitzhus, Maltese’s, and schnauzers. Very comfortable providing oral or topical ointments.. nothing really grosses me out. I enjoy providing baths and making sure your furry friend is feeling their best. Especially for my dirty white dogs with the crusty eyes (lol)! Overall, I treat every pet that walks into my life like it were my own. I take pride in knowing that I’m giving someone’s pet lots of love and care while their owner is away. I want them to feel like they’re hanging with a friend and try to alleviate any stress. Leaving your baby for any period of time is tough, so knowing you have someone you can trust to be an extension of you is all I want. I lost my job recently, so I’ll have a lot more time for walks, feedings, and of course cuddle time with the puppies. Other than caring for my own kitty, my time would really be catered to your needs as an owner should you choose me to help take care of your little one. Our home has a partially fenced in yard that we can allow your pet to enjoy. There’s a full basement, living room, and bedroom that the pups can enjoy relaxing in and hanging out. There’s space for a crate as well for those who are or in the process of training.
“I can't say enough good things about Rebecca. She was friendly, enthusiastic and reliable. My dog loved her. She walked and ran with him. When we say "Rebecca is coming" He runs to the door , sits wagging his tail. If anybody needs a wonderful dog walker. Rebecca is it.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I raised and cared for dogs and many other household pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentiveness from a young age. One of my earliest experiences was helping care for a mother dog and her newborn puppies. Since moving to the United States 15 years ago, I have regularly helped friends and neighbors care for their pets while they were away. In my professional life, I have been an elementary school teacher for the past ten years. My experience working with children has strengthened my ability to be patient, observant, dependable, and responsive to individual needs. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention that I would give to a member of my own family. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to provide care, supervision, companionship, and exercise for dogs. Because I am home for most of the day during summer break, I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I live in an end-unit townhouse in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby walking paths, parks, and green spaces. My home provides a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I supervise pets closely, keep them on leash during walks unless otherwise directed in a secure area, and make safety my top priority at all times. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide individualized care that helps them feel at home.

“Gary is always on time and you can immediately tell he is a professional dog walker. He dresses and handles my 60 lbs. dogs like a true alpha. He makes sure to keep them safe while walking them. My mother-in-law drove by him while he was walking out dogs and she told me he moved them aside (there is no sidewalk) and paid attention to his surroundings. He knows dog behavior so he teaches me about them and why they do what they do. Hands down a true and reliable dog walker.”

About: I've had my own dog for the past 10 years, so I'm very comfortable with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets. I take care of everything from walking and feeding to bathing and basic training. Over the past few years, I've also looked after my neighbors' and family members' pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on their normal routines and got plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, and I always make an effort to provide the same level of care that I'd want for my own dog. I work part-time remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I'll make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure the pet is always safe, supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m careful to respect the home, keep everything clean, and communicate if anything comes up while I’m there.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats very often! I will gladly sit there and hangout with them! I will be on time and complete every task. I’m currently a college student at Rutgers with mostly online classes so I have a lot of free time. I love working with animals so this is like the ideal job. I live in an apartment complex that allows pets. There is a park and even a dog park in the complex! Lots of places to walk around!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors.

I understand how important trust and communication are, so I make sure pet parents receive regular updates and photos while their pets stay with me. I currently work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with pets, keeping them comfortable, active, and well cared for in a calm and loving environment. I have a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines, while making sure every fur baby feels safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Ashley did phenomenal and went above and beyond when I needed someone in rather short notice. She always kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures of my pup while I was away. She is able to easily establish a great connection with animals. You can tell she has a genuine compassion and love for animals, especially when they are apart from their owner. Ashley is very professional, friendly, and skillful at caring for animals. Despite having a prior engagement to attend a wedding, she came back afterwards late at night to care for my dog when my flight was delayed. I highly recommend Ashley as she is an excellent care giver.”
About: I’ve only ever known a household with pets! From cats and dogs, to hamsters and lizards. I truly love animals and have easily cared for family and friend’s beloved pets. Feedings, potty breaks, litter or crate cleans, I can do it all! I am currently a part time, online college student. So I can easily work pet care into my schedule with appropriate time given to prepare. In your home, I can always ensure that your pet’s environment is well kept and clean, including crates, food bowls, or litter boxes/outdoor spaces. I am able to brush your pet regularly and ensure their routine is kept for them.

Nico has walked Stormy twice now, and we’ve been very happy. He’s prompt, polite, reliable, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Stormy took to him immediately, and we felt completely at ease sending her off with him. He also sends wonderful photos and updates from their walks, which we really appreciate. We’re very glad to have found him and would definitely recommend Nico to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.
I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!

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 Somerset. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
