Ronald was great. I usually have to use Rover in emergency situations and Ronald was super helpful when I had to unexpectedly leave Luna at home - she had a great walk and was well cared for and Ronald was super kind and courteous!

About: -Greetings! I am a 19 year old who takes care of three dogs at home! I always make sure nothing has ever happen to them or any circumstance that they shouldn’t be and will always rely on them and being in charge of looking out for them! ☺️ -I do my daily task such as make sure they are always walked, feed, being played and even bathe, depending on if necessary of course! 😌 -From my experience throughout my life, the reason I have been loving dogs ever since they make me feel joyful whenever I feel down or need the courage and have the comfort from all furry friends! Even though I am still suffering from the depression and putting too much stress on my mentally, I always think about what makes feel relax, realizing at least there something in the world that is nothing more pure than a dog’s soul! So, I hope my personal statement of mines carries on that you share this message and that I’m not the only one who knows what is the meaning of having strong connection with your fur babies! ❤️ -Please contact if needed or any questions regardless! 😊 I’m a stay at home teen that always takes care of my dogs for walking them, feeding them, bathing them and for them to be played! I make sure nothing is on floor that isn’t for them to eat or to shallow! I also make sure to keep them on a leash no matter where I go with them!

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I can provide feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel comfortable and confident, so I always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am also open to following any specific instructions you may have for your pet. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I am available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs and provide consistent, loving care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep a clean, calm environment. I pay close attention during walks and at home, ensuring pets are secure at all times. I can provide regular updates and photos so you feel at ease.

About: I am an animal lover to my core and am sure that I will have as much fun with your pets as they will have with me! I know what an important part of the family pets are, so rest assured nothing is more important to me than your pets’ safety and happiness. Aside from my family’s own pets, I have previously pet sat puppies, kittens, adult dogs and cats, and senior dogs for friends on numerous occasions. I have fairly open availability for pet care. Other than the days I am required to be in the office for work (Tu/Wed/Th), I have very little obligations that would interfere with care. Pets are members of the family and should be treated as such! Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment is of the upmost importance. Having dog friendly space in the home, the availability of a plethora of toys, or making sure each walk is engaging and fun - whatever the pet needs to be happy and taken care of.

About: I’ve been working with dogs since 2015 and became a professional dog groomer in 2017, continuing in that role until 2020. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’m dedicated to exploring every avenue to deepen that connection. I currently volunteer at the Newark Animal Shelter as a dog walker, and every moment spent with the animals there brings me joy. Whether your pet has paws or purrs, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in caring, capable hands. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos to keep you connected while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering medications—both oral and injectable—and always prioritize your pet’s health and comfort. Every dog and cat I care for is treated like family, with all the love, attention, and TLC they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them the best care possible! Pet care is a natural part of my routine and something I truly enjoy. I’m busiest from Tuesdays through Thursdays, but I make sure to schedule pet care around those days so that each visit or stay gets my full attention. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I always carve out dedicated time to care for each pet like they’re my own. My beagle is a couch potato and will spend most of her day sleeping. My Jack Russell gets walks both in the morning and at night, and training during the day to keep her active. I will do the same for your pets, depending on your wants and the animal's needs!

Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, pit bulls, chihuahuas, labs, Great Pyrenees, etc. I love caring for them, playing with them, training them. Dogs deserve the world I am currently job free at the moment and will be free any time you need a sitter! I just moved into Jersey city and can’t wait to meet all the new pups in the area. I live in an apartment complex, 2 bed 2 bath, lots of space for animals to roam around, my complex also has a nice big dog play area in our building and also a park right outside for them to run and play!

Federica was absolutely wonderful with Pearl! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling dogs of different temperaments. She made me feel completely at ease leaving Pearl in her care. She was always punctual for walks and provided thoughtful updates, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Pearl came back happy, well-exercised, and calm every time. I would highly recommend Federica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Valerie was a godsend when I was looking for a last-minute walker for my pup. She responded quickly, the night before the request, and was communicative/attentive to all of my notes/requests. My dog recently got surgery on her back leg, so hasn’t been as eager to walk, and Valerie was patient and coaxed her to finally get going. Would definitely recommend Valerie and will book again!

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in The Heights.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
