“Steven was amazing. He looked after my dogs like they were part of his family! He showed up consistently and on time and communicated extremely well. He sent great pictures and spent a lot of time with my kids! On top of everything he rescued me from a stuck elevator. I highly recommend Steven!”
“Angela is such a kind human being and you can tell how much she loves animals. It can be an uneasy thing letting someone else care for your pet, but with Angela we don't even think twice about it. She walked our dog once a day while we were at work and despite him being a bit of a hyper puppy she handled him with grace. She's super professional and keeps you posted on everything. Love Angela!”
“Alena has been absolutely amazing with my dogs, Mia and Lucas! She’s reliable, incredibly responsive, and always flexible with scheduling. My pups adore her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. She’s become such an important part of their routine, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! As an added bonus she takes incredible pictures of my dogs as well!”
About: I am particularly gentle and careful with pets and have had plenty of experience learning how to handle dogs that are not mine (in terms of where or where not to touch them or look at them). Dogs tend to gravitate towards me easily because of how I approach them. I just moved here, so I am only doing odd jobs and self-employed work at the moment. My schedule is quite open and flexible as a result. I do not have the means nor permission to care for a pet in my own home but would be happy to accommodate them in yours with whatever tools and rules you prefer.
“Calvin is the most gentle dog walker I’ve worked with. My frenchie tends to pull the leash and direct walkers where to go, which has led to injuries under her armpits (from the friction of pull between her and the walker). I’ve never experienced that with Calvin. He is punctual, respond to my messages quickly, and overall just a great person to work with. Highly recommend.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience dogs and cats! I have a six year old terrier mix, Buster, who is very high energy and takes a lot of time and effort to care for, but is very rewarding. I currently dog sit a 6 year old doodle consistently three days a week and have been looking after her for over 4 years. With lots of previous experience with cats and dogs, I can promise you that you will be getting the highest quality service for dog walks and drop in visits to your home. I have experience dog sitting and boarding over 10+ dogs in Hoboken. I have my own dog that requires 3-4 walks per day. He loves to move and play, and taking care of my pets is at the center of my life. My hours are currently flexible and I’m happy to help with your pets however I can! Safety is a top priority for me and I will always make sure the dogs are safe and protected. Our home is dog friendly and we will treat your dogs like our own!
About: Hi! My name is Raphael and I love cats & dogs. I currently have two 7-year-old cats - they are sisters & are named Cherry & Suki - and I also occasionally pet sit my wife’s family’s dog, a Schnoodle named Tisbie. Over the years, I’ve also taken care of many of my friends’ pets in NYC. I’m currently working as an editor for my post-production company as well as freelancing in the film industry, and therefore have flexible working hours and can watch your pets whenever is needed. I have an apartment with a pet safety door between both rooms in case separation is needed as well as an outdoor patio that is fenced.
“Ronald and Tati are very nice, and very knowledgeable about dogs. Tati was able to bond with my dog who has trust issues and is reactive. I will continue using their services for the long term”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I regularly help friends take care of their dogs, including walking, feeding, playing with them, and keeping them company. During the pandemic, I also cared for my brother’s cat for about a year, so I’m very comfortable with cats and understand their different personalities and routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a student, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive and patient, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I love animals and going for long walks, playing games and overall just enjoy spending my free time taking care of others and the those who they love!! I’m currently in college but am always looking for something to fill my days with and keep myself busy while also doing what I love. In general I’m a very cautious individual and will always care for your pet as best as I can and will always follow instructions very well. My schedule is super flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time at home if needed. I’ll always try my best to be as accommodating as possible. I live in a apartment so everything is pretty safe, I’m super cautious with where I leave things so no accidents happen and I’m really attentive in general.
“Kathleen was a great walker for my pup!! She helped me with 2 walks for my dog on a day I had to go into my office. I really appreciated her communication around both walks. We even had some problems with the door codes I created for her to get into my building not working and she was super understanding and flexible to work around the issue. She asked questions to make sure my dog would be comfortable and taken care of and delivered on everything! She is so nice she even replaced the poop bag with my backup role because it ran out on the second walk. Will definitely book again!!!!”
“Hayley was very accomodating with my last minute booking and I'm so happy to have found her to be my dog walker. She kept me thoroughly updated throughout the entire booking. Thank you Hayley!”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working hands-on in the pet industry. My career began in the PetSmart Pet Hotel, and since then I’ve managed multiple boarding facilities, worked as an animal control officer, mentored as a dog trainer, and now specialize in pet nutrition. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable with all personalities—especially pups who struggle in busy kennel environments. Over the years, I’ve opened my home to dogs with anxiety, behavioral quirks, medical needs, or those who just need a calmer, more personalized environment. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to small animals and exotics, and I treat every pet like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priorities. If you're looking for a sitter who is experienced, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’m here to help! I currently have the option to work from or bring your furry baby to my pet friendly safe office space. I am a pet nutritionist! I care for pets by treating them as they are one of my own! I will work with you to understand what your individual pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while they stay with me.
“I have nothing but great things to say about Jenn and if Goose could talk I’m sure he would too! I was a bit apprehensive about booking a dog walker as only me or my fiancé have ever walked Goose, but his tail was wagging from the second she took the leash and hasn’t stopped! Jenn is great with Goose, an avid puller, and takes her time with him around new situations as he’s still a puppy! She is patient and kind, and gives lots of updates and pictures which I love! I cannot recommend Jenn enough!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs from a young age. My family always deemed me to the go-to when they had to go away and wanted their doggies to be in sweet and well-kept care. I have experience with different breeds, age groups, and attitudes of course. I am currently on a hybrid schedule with my University, which means I am able to do my lessons online or in person. This leaves my schedule free to fit other responsibilities. In my home I try to give the pet the same energy their family gives them at home, if I know their home tends to leave the TV on for them, I will always do that. If it’s a quiet home, we will turn all devices off and make it a laidback spot. In a client’s home, I will follow the same routine instructed by pet owner.
About: What sets me apart is the combination of lifelong experience and the time I can genuinely offer. I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 7, so it's second nature to me — not just a job. Because I work remotely, I'm home throughout the day to play, cuddle, and keep your pet company instead of leaving them alone for hours. I also have a fully fenced yard and a friendly resident cat who loves making new friends. And to give you extra peace of mind, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your fur baby is happy, safe, and having a great time. Since I work remotely, I'll actually have plenty of time throughout the day to play with your pups and cats during both weekends and weekdays. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly cat who'd love the company! I'll also send photo and video updates regularly so you can see how your fur baby is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union City
Levi got to spend time with Claire again, and I couldn’t be happier! ❤️ Claire always takes such amazing care of Levi and sends me tons of pictures throughout his stay, which I absolutely love! Today, she even took Levi to the dog park, and I could tell he had the best time! What truly amazes me is how Claire treats Levi like her own. She introduced him to all her friends, and instead of leaving Levi home alone, she had her friends come over to her place so she could stay with him. That honestly touched my heart so much. It’s so rare to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as much as you do, and Claire is exactly that person. She is, without a doubt, my number one sitter, and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her enough! ❤️
Ariana was a huge help by coming in to walk Balboa on short notice. I made a mistake with my keyless entry system, preventing her from being able to enter my apartment. Instead of leaving, Ariana waited almost 30 minutes while I corrected it and then proceeded with the walk. She’s super helpful and a great choice!
Had a great experience with this dog walker! They were friendly, reliable, and took great care of Sasha. Communication was smooth, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Sasha seemed happy and well taken care of after his walk. Really appreciate the care and attention. Would definitely recommend and book again!

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 Union City. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.
