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.

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.

Nicholas was amazing. It was my first time using Rover and it was last minute, I was far away from my dog at home and was so nervous but he talked me through everything and was so understanding! I knew my pup was in good hands and I can’t thank Nicholas enough!

About: Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m a graduate student, athlete, and huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very active and love being outside, so dog walking and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs extra patience, or just wants company during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to be dependable, responsive, and attentive to each dog’s routine and needs. I also send photo updates during visits so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is doing well. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your dog and help make your day a little easier! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love being able to dedicate time to it each day. I have classes in the mornings and early afternoons, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the after 3 PM on Mondays, between 1 PM and 6 PM on Tuesdays, and later in the day on Fridays, after 3 PM. I’m also flexible on other days depending on your pet’s needs! I’m great at sticking to routines, so whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or consistent check-ins, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in their familiar routine and environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and visits, and I’m mindful of surroundings to keep your pet safe at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Mike was an absolute gem with our puppy Summer. She can be hesitant and nervous with new people, but she warmed up fast.

Thank you thank you thank you for taking care of our precious little diva.

About: Book with me. To ensure you have the best sitter for your pup, I provide a safe, warming, calm, fun environment when booked for an overnight stay at my place. Constant walks throughout the day. Always keep about two bowls of water around the house and provide daily morning exercise routines (my morning walks/jogs). I do recommend clients/parents to provide food and treats for dogs and keep me aware of any allergies or habits the pup has. I have no problem buying treats or toys as long as it’s okay with the client/parent. This also goes for traveling to clients/parents homes. As of Doggy Day Care, I do not mind dog sitting more than 2 pup as long as they are 22lbs or less and we’ll trained. I do ask clients/parents if it’s okay to have another families dog around before booking. If not, that’s okay. I will respect your request and book another day with the parent and his/her pup. I will be having open availability after September 29th, 2019 which is my last day with my job. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant and will recommend the parents to book for Doggy Day Care Services and Overnight ONLY.

So damn fortunate to have found Bianca. As pet owners, everyone is familiar with the apprehension that accompanies when you have to trust a stranger with your pets or like I say “Your Heart and Soul”. My boys are uber spoiled and Bianca’s level of patience with them….I couldn’t ask for anything more. She is communicative, punctual, extremely professional. She took the time to truly listen and understand Buddy and Brody’s personalities - their likes and dislikes - their joys and anxieties. As a pet owner, one can’t ask for anything more. The only aspect that behooves me is why does she not charge more for her services? Lol. All kidding aside, she is a Godsend for pet owners. B, once again thank you for you.

About: Hi, I'm Ashlee! 🐾 Thank you for stopping by my profile! I know choosing someone to care for your pet is a big decision because they're so much more than "just a dog", they're family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I offer: 🐶 Dog boarding 🏡 House sitting 🚶 Dog walking 🦴 Drop-in visits Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I share my home with my Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley, who has taught me just how unique every dog can be. Caring for him has shown me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to the little things that help a dog feel safe and at home. I'm also comfortable with: 💊 Administering oral medications 🐾 Caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors ❤️ Providing individualized care based on your pet's routine and needs Communication is one of my top priorities. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your booking, along with prompt responses if you ever want to check in. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether your pet is staying overnight, going for a walk, or just needs a drop-in visit while you're at work, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want someone to give Finnley. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet, don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to meet you both 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have my own Mini Bernedoodle, Finnley! My schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, playtime, enrichment, and making sure he gets plenty of attention throughout the day. When caring for your pet, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, providing regular potty breaks, going on walks, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I carefully plan my schedule around the pets I'm caring for and always make their safety, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle handling to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as you left it. I also know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, along with prompt responses if you have any questions or would like to check in. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a complimentary meet and greet before a first booking. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and to feel completely confident that they were cared for like family.

Kim is the best dog walker I could have ever asked for! She cares for my dog and treats my dog like her own! Whenever my dog was sick, she would message me and see how my dog was feeling and if there is anything she can do to help! She is always extremely kind and flexible to my schedule! I would recommend her 1000 times over to anyone because I know your pet would be in great hands with Kim! She has been walking my dog for the last 7 months and my dog looks forward to seeing Kim every day! It will be a sad day when she can no longer look after my pup when I am at work!

About: Hi! I’m Jackie, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs, cats, and senior pets. I grew up with dogs and have always been comfortable around them, their energy, and their routines. As an adult, I’m a proud cat mom, which has given me a deep appreciation for feline personalities, boundaries, and the quieter kind of companionship. I understand that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and comfort needs. I work from home, which allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible with schedules. I especially enjoy providing calm, reassuring care for pets who may be shy, anxious, older, or just prefer a quieter environment. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, my goal is always to help them feel safe, loved, and relaxed while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work part time and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be present, responsive, and attentive to pets throughout the day. I care for pets by closely following their established routines so they feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking needs, litter or potty routines, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and attentive, making sure pets receive plenty of companionship, enrichment, and reassurance while maintaining their normal daily rhythm. I prioritize calm, positive interactions and never rush care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment with close supervision, lots of attention, and regular updates to owners. I’m especially mindful of safety, comfort, and cleanliness. I communicate regularly with photos and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away, and I always adjust my care style based on each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs.

About: I’ve grown up with my grandmas dog who was a very shy and quiet dog and would usually just walk away from everyone but my grandma and me. Everyone thought he wasn’t a “good” dog because he didn’t really like anyone’s presence, yet they didn’t know how excited he’d get to see me. Sometimes he’d get so excited he’d pee a little! Every year after receiving birthday money I’d make sure to get him a little treat as a kid. Our time was great, and I’ll make sure it’s just as great with your pup! My schedule is lenient and can be adjusted with preparation. Monday-Wednesday 3-7 pm and saturdays from morning to evening is when I’ll most likely always be free! As someone who’s a very big advocator in pets safety and care, I’ll make sure to accept any sort of accommodations for your pet, every pet deserves a best friend no matter their needs!

About: I’ve been watching dogs for years, and I’ve had one almost my entire life. Neighbors, families and friends have always relied on me with their dogs. For the last two years, I owned a beautiful golden retriever that unfortunately recently passed away due to a rare disease called mega-esophagus which developed into aspirational pneumonia. With that being said, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs with special needs. LGBTQ+ friendly 🏳️‍🌈 I work primarily from home, so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m available mostly any day, any time, except before 11am. I will make your pet my priority! If interested, feel free to view my professional LinkedIn profile by searching Eric Barbieri in South Amboy, NJ. Relax while you’re gone and know that you’re pup is in good hands. I prefer to only watch 2 dogs at a time, unless the owner has more, but a maximum of 3.

Karalin takes such good care of Eden. She cleaned up my puppy’s poop when she had a terrible upset belly! She’s also helps my puppy stay on track with her training. If I tell her what we’re working on, she reinforces it and goes above and beyond.

FAQs for Dog Walking - South Amboy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Amboy on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 25,510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Amboy. 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 South Amboy. 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 South Amboy.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 South Amboy. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
