I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have 3 bunnies of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I absolutely love puppies and enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away! Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my own pets every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for. Since I’m a PA student with a flexible summer schedule, I’m able to dedicate time throughout the week to giving pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while also keeping the home clean and secure. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets, and I will always provide updates and treat your pets like my own.

About: I have a 12 year old dog had him since he was a few months while I don’t have any training experience I am very patient with dogs. And understand the signals that they make I am currently available every day during the summer up until August however even though I am available I would have times where I won’t be For walks, I always carry waste bags, keep dogs on lead unless the owner has explicitly confirmed reliable recall in a safe area, and avoid situations where the dog could become stressed or reactive. I send photo and text updates during every visit so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. In an emergency, I contact the owner immediately and, if needed, take the dog to their registered vet. I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was younger. I currently have two small dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits where I fed them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of while their owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel I work mornings, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m off on Sundays and Tuesdays, so I have extra flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I’m reliable and like to stay consistent with schedules. I’m also easy to communicate with and happy to adjust based on what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are secure on walks and always pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient and adjust to each pet’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more calm. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I moved to New Jersey three years ago, and since then I’ve been caring for pets for multiple families through drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I make sure each pet is safe, loved, and well taken care of—whether that means giving medications, going on walks, or spending time playing in the backyard while you’re at work, on vacation, or visiting family. I specialize in both puppy and adult dog care, including high-energy and “quirky” personalities. No matter the pet, I believe all they really need is patience, consistency, and love. Over the past few years, I’ve built experience providing reliable, attentive, and efficient care, including overnight stays where I treat every pet like my own. Welcome to The Zoomies Club 🐾 — where every pet is family, energy is embraced, and care always comes with love. My goal is always to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. I currently have open availability, so I’m flexible and ready when you need me. Just send me a message and I’ll do my best to fit your pet into The Zoomies Club schedule 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping things super familiar and stress-free. I follow their normal routine—meals, walks, litter box care, and medications if needed—and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Whether it’s zoomies or chill time, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home 🐾💕

My experience has been fantastic. Jonny is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time, and very polite. My dog absolutely enjoys his walks as well. Jonny also provides detailed updates and photos after each walk, which I appreciate. Five stars all the way!

I’ve been using her dog walking service for several months, and she’s been outstanding. She’s dependable, attentive, and treats my dog like her own. I really appreciate her updates and photos after every walk. She’s far more than a dog walker — she truly loves and understands my dogs. I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.

I was so thankful to have found Maureen to walk my dog, Jimmy, during my surgical recovery when I was not permitted to walk the dog on a leash. Having Maureen walk the dog during my recovery reduced a lot of stress so that I could recover more quickly. She is an incredible, punctual, flexible, and trustworthy dog walker. She truly loved Jimmy, who gave her kisses after every walk. Maureen followed all my direction for caring for Jimmy. What was most incredible was that Maureen walked Jimmy through the extremely cold weather that we just experienced. She went above and beyond in walking Jimmy through these cold temperatures by wrapping him in a fleece blanket and carrying him to spots where he could poop and pee. Maureen is highly professional and will go the extra mile to take loving care for your dog. I would highly recommend her and would book her again to take care of Jimmy.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Totowa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Totowa on Rover is $19.26 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 27,432 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Totowa. 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 Totowa. 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 Totowa.

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 Totowa. On Rover:

  • 88% 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.
