“Dominique is amazing!! Boomie loves her. She takes him on a long walk. He gets cuddles. She is on time and very good at communicating if we need to adjust the schedule. She is professional and a delight to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. Lots of experience in caring for dog and dog walking. I also have experience in caring for a pet after surgery and administering medication. I understand how important it is for your dog to be comfortable while you are away from home. I work full-time, but I work from home two days a week. Those days I would be available for dog walking or checking in on your pet. Could do in-home sitting, preferably on weekends, but should be able to fit weekdays schedule also. I would be caring for your pet in your home. This would make them the most comfortable being in their own house. I will try to stick to the same routines that the owner does.
“Kimberly walked our dog while we were travelling to a relatives house out of state for a Christmas get together. Her rates were reasonable, she was nice, personable, and professional, and most importantly the doors were locked, the dog was ok, and all of our stuff appeared completely untouched when she was done. Would recommend.”
“Mike is an amazing dog walker. You can tell he really loves dogs. He has terrific communication and keeps in tabs with you on your pup. He often goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is okay. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker!”
“Stephanie is very responsive and takes great care of my pup. She not only walks him but will stay for a bit to make sure he is okay before leaving. My dog loves when she takes him out.”
“Jennifer is a life saver and is taking wonderful care of our precious baby. She has been a blessing when I had to go to work while my husband is out of town, and so flexible with last minute changes that came up unexpectedly. We cannot thank you enough!!”
About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.
About: I provide more than just pet care—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and training, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle handling, medication management, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to detail, communicate frequently with pet parents, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I work full time, but I work from home. I am available on most days and can be there for lunch routines. I am available during my lunch breaks for dog walks. I have one mini bernedoodle, who is the most friendly dog in the world. I can take care of dogs in my house, and am available for walks on my lunch.

I have 10 years expierence pet sitting I have a flexible schedule due to my work. I am home during the week Sunday through Wednesday so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby I live in a dog-friendly apartment and specialize in caring for small breeds and puppies.

For any pups who may not be adjusting to the pup room I do allow them in other areas of the house.

Max was super excited to see Hanarae! She took max out for a 30 mins walk while we were gone on vacation. She did an amazing job getting our big bear some exercise. She was super friendly with Max and took the best pictures of him afterwards haha 10/10 definitely would recommend
Katelyn was awesome with our pup Max! From the moment she met with Max I can tell they got along really well. She came on time and kept me updated the entire time she walked him. She’s a great person to trust your pup with and highly recommend her! See you soon Kate 👍🏽

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

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
