“I have a 3 year old golden retriever, and I am so grateful that I found George to walk her. I can tell he cares a lot about animals. George is knowledgeable about animal care as well. I know my dog is under best care when I am at work. I highly recommend George.”
“Always on time and takes great care of our boy Eli! We asked him on only a few days notice to walk, feed and spend time with our dog on a Friday night so we could go to a wedding. Not only did he respond quickly but he did a great job and even stayed extra time. 10/10”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I always had love for dogs in all sizes and their different personalities. Since having a dog on my own last year I’ve learned to practice training and grooming all by myself. I love to spend lots of time to make sure our furry friends stays healthy and happy with full attention and care. I am currently at home most of the time which I spend my day with my dog. I take walks daily morning, afternoon, and night. Feel free to ask for availability. I live in a condo. My dog Bagel is a friendly 4 year old girl that is friendly and full of energy. Treats, toys, extra leash, water bowl could be provided. (If needed) I have Pet First Aid/CPR certification for emergencies.
“We used Eléni for daily waking while we were away. She was so sweet and loving to Jake and helped my mother in law with some medication he needed on his paw. She was punctual and walked him for the full agreed upon time plus more for belly rubs! I highly recommend Eléni and will definitely be using her again when the need arises!”
“Thanks Catherine, both dogs took to you immediately and we felt very comfortable with you managing them. Appreciate the quick and robust communication as well! Hope you can help us out again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things! I reached out last minute—literally the night before—after my original dog walker had to cancel due to a family emergency. Travian came through bright and early at 6:30 AM with zero hesitation. Total lifesaver.”

I love all kinds of animals and want to provide the best care for your pets. I am currently not working so I have lots of available time to provide visits and care for your pets.

“Megan has been a great dog walker for our dog! She is very flexible, communicates well and pays attention to details. I can be very particular about the way my dog is cared for, from wiping him when he comes back inside to wearing his booties so his paws don’t get dirty. Megan followed all my instructions from the get go and I knew my dog was in good hands from the start!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job with Max. She took her time to learn his personality, his walking preferences, and made sure he got good exercise. Max enjoyed his walks and loves Lindsey already.”
“Brilliant! My dog Cola had a great stay over the weekend. Kevin was able to accommodate us last minute and Cola came back home very happy and well cared for. Kevin has a large fenced in yard and played with Cola with his other pups, they had lots of fun together. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“With Grace walking my dogs and taking very good care of them, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip with a peace of mind. Grace is so good at getting along with my dogs and also communicating with me during her visits. Everything went smoothly!”
“I knew I had an upcoming week where I would be so busy that I would joy we time to walk my active senior dog. I arranged for a meet and greet with Davud, and Clive who is generally aloof took to him like a duck to water. The bonus is I really like him too! David was a life saver and Clive enjoyed the time they spent together. David is kind, clearly has an affinity for dogs, and flexible. I would ask him to walk Clive again in a heartbeat!”
“Amazing high-quality service! Took the time to check the weather on the planned walk day and asked me ahead of time if my dog had a rain jacket or if he should bring an umbrella. And he showed up early!!! 1000/10 😍”
“Nicole arrived promptly to give Sophia a walk. Sophia liked her immediately. Nicole was friendly, gave her lots of pets and because it was a rainy day, she wiped her paws when she returned. I will use her again as need be”
About: I've had dogs all my life, the most recently i had a awesome miniature poodle who I was fortunate to love and care for 17 years, so I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs. My schedule is fairly open every day after about 9 or ten am. I'd like a regular opportunity, but one offs will be good as well I am available for pet sitting at the clients home, but due to younger kids I can accommodate pets at my home. Walking and feeding and playing is ideal
About: Hi, I’m Brit—a lifelong animal lover with over 3 years of experience caring for dogs, especially small to medium breeds like cockapoos, cavapoos, and hound mixes. I truly believe every pup is unique, so I take the time to get to know their quirks, energy levels, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks or just wants some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to what they need. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. 🐾 Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around my clients’ needs, ensuring I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits or walks as requested. Whether it’s a midday check-in or extended sitting, I plan ahead to give each pet my full attention and make sure their needs are met with consistency and care. I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment for pets by maintaining their daily routines in their own home. I follow feeding schedules, walking routes, and any specific instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. I take extra care to understand each dog’s temperament, using a gentle and observant approach to keep them safe and happy. I always leave the home tidy and secure, and keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have 8 years of professional animal care experience ranging from rabbits, reptiles, bugs, and birds. I’ve also taken care of friends cats, dogs and other pets. I am currently in graduate school and work part-time during the week. My work schedule is typically Monday, 12pm/2pm - 6pm/8pm and Tuesday, 9am/11am - 3pm/5pm. From Wednesdays - Fridays, I’m typically free before 11am and after 5pm. My schedule does not conflict with House sitting opportunities as long as distance from my job isn’t an issue. Pet care at client’s home: Feed pets on scheduled feeding time. Play with pets, when they want to be played with. Clean litter box on regularly scheduled times.
About: Having an extensive background in working with dogs, I spent several years as a dog walker, starting in 2015 and continuing until the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. During this time, I had the opportunity to walk dogs in various locations throughout Jersey City and Hoboken, and also provided doggy day care services. Despite my long-standing involvement in dog walking and sitting, it was only this year that my boyfriend and I made the decision to welcome a puppy into our lives. Our beloved companion, Luffy, is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who brings immense joy and pride to my heart. His presence has deepened my compassion for animals, as I am reminded that not every pet is fortunate enough to find a loving home. Throughout my dog walking experiences, I encountered numerous rescue dogs who were still adjusting to their new surroundings. It is through acts of love and patience that these animals can find solace and comfort. My job as a membership coordinator at the Summit Area YMCA offers me great flexibility. I start my day early, opening the YMCA at 3am every morning. My shift typically ends at 2pm, with a one-hour break in between. This schedule allows me to enjoy morning walks as well as afternoon walks. I am fortunate to reside in a beautiful home in Plainfield, which boasts a spacious outdoor area with ample greenery. Additionally, I also offer dog boarding services. I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to bring dogs to the dog park, allowing them the freedom to run and play. However, I also devote my attention to the well-being of older dogs who simply require a leisurely stroll around the front yard.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Summit is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
We couldn’t be happier with Carlie! She is incredibly sweet, kind, and caring, and has taken such wonderful care of our elderly dog. She pays close attention to his cues and never pushes him beyond what he’s comfortable doing. If he feels like walking, she walks with him; if he’d rather snuggle, play, or just have some quiet company, she happily follows his lead. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about him and wants him to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family! ❤️
Grace has once again done an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was out of town, just like she has the previous times. She has such a natural ability to bond with pets and make them feel comfortable and loved. She’s incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I always feel completely at ease knowing my dogs are in her hands. Highly recommend Grace!
Anthony did a fantastic job caring for Luna and made her feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I look forward to having Anthony take care of Luna again in the future. 10/10 service! Thank you, Anthony!
Katherine was wonderful!!! I am so glad she answered the call to CARE and walk my dog Koa. I emphasize care because she did . She had a Doberman before, there for she knew of some the quirky behaviors they can exhibit . She went above and beyond the tasks asked of her, including but not limited to watering my garden! She is an asset to the Rover community!
Leigh is great! I needed a last minute dog walker due to my work schedule and Leigh was perfect with my dog! She took him for long walks and played with him in the backyard before sending me some awesome action pics! She is very thoughtful and caring and I know my dog is in good hands! Will definitely enlist her again for dog walking!
I am so incredibly grateful for Hailey. She started walking Gus just last week, and it’s already clear how special she is. Gus absolutely adores her - which says everything. She’s kind, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s also been wonderfully flexible and accommodating, which has meant the world to me. I can’t recommend her highly enough - truly the best dog walker I could have asked for.

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 Summit. 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.
