About: I have taken care of family animals my entire life & foster failed with my rescue 7 years ago. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I am happy to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match :) I work fully remote so I am available all day to either host day care or sit in your home! I can provide frequent walks, potty breaks, and 1:1 supervision. In / from your home I will provide long walks in nearby parks / the sidewalk, play catch, and explore. If you have a fenced in yard or common area and prefer your doggo play there, that’s great as well

About: I have been walking an awesome dog almost daily, he is a very energetic and adorable 8 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue mix named Chewy and I have loved every minute. He has taught me how important it is that dogs get their daily walks and experience adventure! Looking to help other pet owners give their dog a hopeful moment in their day by getting outside - rain or shine! I’m currently working part-time, and I am incredibly flexible. I have a very reliable, pet friendly, Subaru that can drive in any weather. I am the type of person that you can text me an hour before and I will be there! Always happy to help in a pinch. I respect all spaces and homes the same. I understand owning pets can be messy and I’m not afraid to step up and help calm the storm however I can. I do not mind showing up to a home to help care for a pet, happy to help in any way I can!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own pets since I was 10. I also worked at a dog kennel and as a dog grooming assistant when I was younger, and I’ve dog-sat for other families. These experiences taught me how to safely handle dogs, help with bathing, and keep them calm and comfortable in new places. What makes me different from many sitters is my experience with senior, disabled, and recovering dogs. I’ve cared for pets after surgery and illness, including staying up overnight to watch them, hand-feeding, helping them move around, and gently taking them outside. I also cared for my disabled Lab whose back legs didn’t work, helping with bathroom needs, cleaning, and daily comfort. Because of this, I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs who need extra help, medications, or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I complete my schoolwork through flexible online classes, which allows me to be home most of the day. Because of this, I’m able to give pets frequent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I’m used to caring for pets as part of my daily routine at home, including feeding, cleaning, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. This flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and fully present for the pets in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or potty breaks, and receive lots of attention and playtime. I also give any medications if needed and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home and keep everything tidy, including cleaning up pet messes, washing bowls if needed, and making sure doors and gates stay secure. I send updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their family is away.

We had such a great experience with our Rover sitter! They took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with pictures throughout their walk, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely book again and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.

About: Animals have always had my heart. I provide one on one care because I understand that being away from home can be stressful for some dogs. My goal is to make every boarding experience feel safe, loving, and as seamless as possible. With many years of experience caring for dogs, I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, giving me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and personalized care throughout the day. I live in a townhouse in a quiet, friendly gated community with plenty of safe sidewalks and green space for enjoyable walks. I love taking pups on walks and spending time outdoors whenever their owners approve. If your dog uses wee wee pads, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. And if they're used to sleeping in bed with you, they're welcome to cuddle up with me too! I only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give your pet my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Every dog is treated like family: with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I'd love to meet you and your pup! Let's schedule a meet and greet to make sure it's the perfect fit and ensure your dog's stay is comfortable, happy, and stress-free. 💗 I make my own schedule and work from home. I have the time to care for your pet one on one and give them the attention they deserve. I love taking the animals for walks and getting them out in nature if permitted. I have a nice yard for them to sunbathe and get fresh air. If you require wee wee pads, I can accommodate that as well. Your Dog is welcome to sleep In the bed with me, if parents allow that. I treat all of my dogs like they’re my own and like they are family. 💓 Let's schedule a meet and greet and get your boarding process seamlessly started!

First, I've never used this type of service before. Alissa was accommodating, attentive, prompt and very caring for my dog, Lilly. If Alissa is the standard of the type of people that will care for my dog, I would use this service again, without a doubt. And, I wouldn't hesitate in booking Alissa, and recommending her to everyone.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, both within my family and for others outside of it. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, sizes, and needs, which has made me comfortable and confident handling all kinds of dogs. In addition to dogs, I’ve regularly cared for cats, including those with medical conditions that required administering medication. I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and gentle,especially when pets need extra care and consistency. I also have a dog of my own, so I know firsthand the level of love, responsibility, and attention pets deserve every day. I treat every animal I care for like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 9 AM to 2 PM four days a week, which leaves me available for morning and afternoon/evening visits, walks, and check-ins. I’m very active and walk about 5 miles every day, so I’m always happy to include dogs in my routine to make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, a longer outing, or just spending time keeping your pet company, I can easily incorporate pet care into my schedule and stay consistent and reliable. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or their own. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care needs. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, along with regular walks and bathroom breaks. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I make sure they get lots of attention, daily walks, and supervision throughout their stay. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including administering medication when required. My goal is always to make sure each pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Hello! I live in Sussex County, NJ, and have been walking dogs since January 2025 via the Wag app. I am available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during the day. Since I have 2 sassy beagle-mixes of my own, I can do overnight stays with some household coordination on my end. I’m currently working part time, so have a flexible schedule! I do my best to only accept bookings where I know I’ll make it not only on time, but a few minutes early. It’s important for me to know what access or limits your pet has in your home, so I like to over communicate with pet parents so I fully understand what makes your pet happy and safe.

Kimberly did a great job caring for our dog while we were at work. It was our first time having someone come to the house and walk our dog. She made us feel very comfortable that our dog was going to be well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sussex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Sussex on Rover is $21.4 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 1,846 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sussex. 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 Sussex. 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 Sussex.

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 Sussex. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
