“Jullien was a pleasure to work with. He watched both our cat and dog with short notice. Reliable, punctual, trustworthy and communicative - our pets enjoyed the company, and they were well taken care of. Thank you!”
“OMG—Mallory was more than we had hoped for in a dog walker. We discovered at the last minute that we needed a dog walker, and she stepped up. When we needed to make changes, she was patient with our disorganization. But above all, she a Was so sweet and caring of our beloved Delilah (and our cat Sammy too). She is now our go-to dog walker. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!”
“Shirley is very consistent, timely, responsible and communicative. Our doggo gets so excited when she comes. She was also very good at handling our puppy who is still not very comfortable with walking”
About: For the past ten years, I’ve been the trusted go‑to pet caregiver for friends and colleagues; whether they’re heading out for a weekend getaway or simply stuck at work longer than expected. I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your fur-baby, which is why I treat every pet I take care of as if they were my own. I have done everything from daily dog walks and feeding routines to scooping litter, administering medication, and giving plenty of love and attention. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Supporting happy, healthy pets brings me so much joy, and I’m committed to giving your furry family member the same level of care you would! I am currently in the process of switching full-time jobs, so my availability is open to daily walks and pet-sitting seven days a week! I will make sure to let you know if my availability changes. I live in an apartment, so all pet care takes place in my client’s home. I know how important trust is, and I treat every pet like my own—following your routines, keeping their space safe and tidy, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Kennedy was wonderful! She walked my pup and gave him so much love and attention. He came back happy and tired 🤍🐾. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Rosie, is a big, very strong and high energy Great Dane. Steve does a great job walking her, allowing her to explore and have fun while keeping her under safe control as well. Rosie loves her walks with Steve and even gets excited when she sees his car coming down our street ! Rosie and I will definitely be calling Steve again!”
“I highly recommend Jestine to watch your pups!! She has been incredible over the last year I have been booking her for walks. She is such a sweet person, and as an anxious dog mom, she never gives me a reason to worry! Definitely book with Jestine, she’s the best!”
“Veronica is extremely communicative and always loves my Sadie. You can tell she really cares for these pets. My Sadie is still working through some separation anxiety and Veronica always is very gentle and kind with her.”
About: Hi! I am Mirielle and I started dog sitting 2 years ago and I have been sharing a cat with my sister for about 4 years. My older sister has a dog that I would take care of from time to time. I love dogs and cats and I would be glad to make sure your furry friend is happy 😊 I am a college student with classes during the week, so I am flexible with my weekend schedule. Please give me a heads up beforehand! I would happily send pictures of your cat or dog cuddling and playing with me! I am also willing to do other minor responsibilities at your home such as watering plants.
About: I originally come from the sunny (and blazing hot) state of Florida! I moved to the greater NYC area in 2014 to pursue a career in the performing arts and I live with my husband in a lovely and charming 1920's apartment building. I've been around so many kinds of animals my whole life. You name it, I have probably owned it as a pet or spent months with them! Some of the pets I've owned include: lizards, cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, ferrets, birds, mice, hamsters and more! I also love cats, but can't own or board due to my husband's allergies - so I get my fix by sharing a little love to strays and taking care of my neighbors furry families! My favorite kinds of dogs are mixes of pit bulls and labs. My husband really loves beagles and hounds. I'm in theatre so my schedule can vary from season to season, but someone is almost always home with our furry friends. We try very hard to make sure they feel loved, socialized, and engaged while here (unless they'd rather just lay around haha). I require meet and greets with new clients before all stays to ensure the pup would be comfortable in my home. During that time we discuss what your pup needs and what we are able to provide. Feel free to ask any questions!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the joy I find in caring for them. I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities and needs.

I also understand how important it is for you to feel at ease, so I make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages, letting you know your pet is happy and well-cared for.

I understand things come up late minute so you can count on me to take on your request. I have two cats of my own , I make sure to cuddle with them whenever they show me they want affection as well as staying on stop of they’re cleanliness , sometimes they need to be wiped down with kitty wipes or need help scratching behind their neck !! I make they’re very comfortable and can trust me , I promise to treat your pets the same way! Let it be a dog or cat , safety and trust is always first!
About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊
About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.
About: Hello there! My name is Angelica and I am located in North Jersey. I enjoy working with all kinds of animals. Throughout my life I have had the pleasure of taking care of a variety of different pets. Most of my friends and family trust me to take care of their pets while they’re out of town. I prioritize the well-being of all pets. While your fur baby is in my care I will make sure that they are kept in a safe loving and comfortable environment. Throughout their stay with me I will send you as many pictures and updates as possible. I will do my best to adhere to any special instructions you may leave. I am currently working but my schedule is flexible enough for me to make time to take care of your pet(s). I’ll dedicate as much time with your pets as possible. In order to ensure that your pet is in a safe environment I will follow any instructions you may leave. I will play with them as much as possible and I will always provide them with a clean and comfortable space that will meet all their needs.
About: I am a dog lover with over 8 years of experience. I have been fortunate enough to serve as a foster parent for multiple beautiful babies, that have all gone to find forever homes of their own. I lost my own earlier this year to CKD, but I was lucky enough to have experienced his love for nearly 4years. I adopted my baby while he was 10yrs and he taught me all about the patience and peace that comes with caring for a senior pet. As well as the hesitation that one faces with entrusting others to care for them. I am experienced in administering medications and fluids and my goal is always to follow the schedule listed by the pet parent to ensure the pet's comfort. I have a flexible work model that allows me to be home multiple days out of the week. I am also fully available on weekends. There are no children or pets in my home and I only accept one pet at a time to ensure full attention and safety. If required by the owner, I am experienced in crate training and can crate the pet while in my care. Within the client's home I am comfortable with following the routine that is already in place by the owner. We will communicate beforehand to ensure all of the pet's necessities are met and we have a successful experience.
About: As a fur parent that has dealt with a range of fur baby needs, I am equipped and willing to handle a wide-range of pet circumstances, and will ensure that I care for your pet, as I would my own. With love, patience, and understanding. We'll have a great time too! I am a contract event producer with Tribeca film festival and sofar sounds, so i have plenty of time throughout the year to give your pet the attention they need. I always ask for a trial meeting with the pet parents and their fur-baby to ask questions, and get a sense of what a normal day looks like in the home. I also ask that all parents document as much about their pet, and their home as possible so that I can be ready for any eventuality.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Orange
E has been a fantastic dog walker for my dog, Zholbarys. He took the time to understand his personality and quickly built a great bond with him. Zholbarys always comes back happy and well-exercised. E is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker.
Emma was absolutely fantastic!! Very communicative and very good with Keane who is a French bulldog and often has a mind of his own. They established a wonderful rapport and the dog was so happy to see her every time she arrived to walk him. I would highly recommend her.
I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in South Orange on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 28,178 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Orange. 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 Orange. 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 Orange.

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 Orange. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
