About: I’ve lived with all kinds of dogs my whole life and work as a pet care supervisor at a dog daycare where I help provide luxury pet care to our clients. I absolutely love animals and am willing to work with pets that take extra time and care! I currently work part time at a dog daycare Wednesday-Saturday. During the week I leave no later than 7:30pm, meaning I’d be available any time after that. On weekends I work until 5:30pm latest and I am available for sitting/walking bookings after that time. At home I have a big pup of my own that i care for. Throughout the day I let her out in my yard as needed and take her for 3 walks a day. I make sure that she has water all day and feed her twice a daily. And of course, I give all her love and attention I possible can!

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

About: What sets me apart when choosing someone to watch your pet is my genuine love and passion for animals. I don’t just see pet sitting as a job—I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. With my flexible schedule, I can give them the attention they deserve, whether it’s extra playtime, long walks, or just some comforting companionship. I also take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Reliability, patience, and kindness are at the heart of what I do, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When you choose me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re getting someone who truly cares about your pet’s happiness and well-being. I only work part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and give them the attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during the day, making sure they get their exercise and fresh air. I love spending time with animals, so I’ll always make sure they’re happy and well cared for on our walks! I will treat your home with respect just as I would do my own. Whatever your needs are for your pet, I will always make sure they come first

“Christina has been absolutely fabulous. She is super responsive and extremely responsible but more than anything she’s great with my fur baby.

About: Hello! Im Alissa :) I am a huge animal lover that can’t wait to help you with you and your pets needs! I have cared for and loved many animals from dogs to cats, reptiles, rodents and more ! I’m looking forward to getting to know your little companions unique personality and funny quirks but most importantly making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Since I was a little girl I looked for anyway to take care of animals, for instants, while my sister was in cheer practice I was going around asking if people wanted me to watch, walk or play with their dog and was very successful lol. Growing up I mostly stayed helping only friends and family with pet sitting but now I think it’s time to help others! Through the years I’ve had dogs, cats, rats, hermit crabs, snakes, geckos and much more. My goal in life is to have a farm or a rescue so I can care for many animals and make sure they all get to experience the wonderful life they deserve. I’m looking forward to becoming a trusted friend to both you and your four legged companion! I am currently in school to become a dental hygienist and my school hours did not align with the required hours for my job. Therefore I am looking for a new opportunity with more of a flexible schedule and I’d love to give my open time to care for your little companions :) I am enrolled in a weekend program so I am more available on the weekdays with a few hours on the weekends! Your pets’ safety, comfort and trust will always be my top priority! I unfortunately do not offer boarding in my own home since I live with my grandma and have animals of my own. I want to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. However, I’m more than happy to stay in your home, where your little companions are already familiar with their surroundings and can feel most relaxed. I’m also big on sending plenty of pictures, videos and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your babies are happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you’re away!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. From energetic puppies who need extra attention, patience, and guidance to senior animals who may need more time, gentle care, and understanding, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I treat every animal like family and give them the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own pets. Whether they need playtime, extra cuddles, a little reassurance, or simply someone patient enough to move at their pace, I’m there for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, so I make their care a priority and do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal schedule. I’m also patient and flexible when a pet needs extra time, attention, or special care—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet who prefers a slower pace. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own. My goal is for both the pet and their family to feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: If you're like me, pets are an extension of your family, so I understand how much trust goes into having a stranger care for your dogs and cats. With over 10 years of experience, I've handled everything from cleaning and giving medication to daily feeding routines and enriching playtime. Cats and dogs, all sizes and ages, are welcome. I can't wait to meet your furry family member(s). I recently graduated with my Master's degree. I'm enjoying my time off, and saving up for an apartment while job searching, so I am available all, day everyday. I provide care at your home, following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that entails feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any medications. I make sure to keep their environment safe and secure (checking doors/gates/fences) and am more than happy to send updates or photos to you at your request so you know how your pet(s) are while you're away.

Alley is the best! She takes care of both my boys - I have a cat and dog. She takes my dog Harry on walks when I work in the office and he loves her. She definitely is great at reading dogs and takes her time to learn their behavior and get to know them. Would 100% recommend Alley! :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Union Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Union Beach is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 26,450 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Union Beach. 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 Union Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Union Beach after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Union Beach. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
