About: Hi! I’m Kayla, I have over a year of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand canine body language and am comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperament. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following each pet's routine. I love working with animals and am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I am currently completing a school externship during the week, so my availability is primarily on Thursdays and weekends. When caring for your pet, I will follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care and keeping pet parents updated throughout each visit. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and any household rules. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure pets have fresh water and a clean space. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my home since I was little, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 13. I’m experienced with both large and small dogs—they’ve been my neighbors’, friends’, family’s dogs, and by recommendations. Lots of experience with puppies adventures. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays starting from 11 a.m. My family has always had pets, so I’m very comfortable caring for them. At the moment, I don’t have any pets in my home, so your pet will have all the attention and space. I ensure a safe environment by keeping a watchful eye, maintaining secure spaces, and providing plenty of care and affection.

About: ***I recently lost my soul dog, Ace ,of 17 years, so currently there are no other animals in my home. Please note: I go by Liora as a nickname in my day to day, but Emma is my legal name, hence why you’ll see both names in the reviews. I have always been an avid animal lover, but dogs are my favorite! In middle school I would go around door to door asking my neighbors that had dogs if I could walk them, in high school and college I would volunteer at animals shelters every weekend. I recently lost my soul dog of 17 years, Ace. I had him since he was 8 weeks old, and trained him with all the commands as well as potty training. I miss him dearly, but that being said - I can handle taking care of puppies, adults, and senior dogs alike, and am comfortable administering medication when needed. I work from home, so your pet will always have a buddy throughout the day and human interaction, and will rarely be alone. Evening and weekends will be reserved for parks and lots of play time! I have a small back yard space and a few great parks nearby just a few minutes away from my apartment. I can also crate your dog if needed / if they prefer. I also have cameras set up at home should I need to step out, they will always be monitored.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.

Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.

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 🐾💕

About: My heart goes out to every pet owner, as I have recently lost my childhood companion in June 2025. I am looking forward to taking care of your pets. I am taking a semester off this spring so I will be fully available besides sundays starting January 23rd 2026. I will have this availability as of now until September 2026 Based on the pet I am taking care of, I can best accommodate with the pet if I know their behaviors, triggers, their favorite things to do, etc. I’d treat every pet as my own, making sure they get their daily walks in, set a time for when to eat, make sure they do eat, set some time aside to possibly play depending on the dog, cleanliness is also key.

About: I have been a dog lover and animal rights advocate all of my life and I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity. Making dogs happy has always been such a fulfilling goal of mine so walking and playing with your dogs is one way I can do that. I have previously worked at a dog hotel and know how to handle different sizes and temperaments so I am experienced in all situations. I am a big advocate for the more cuddles the better so your dog will feel loved for the entirety of their time with me! I currently work from home and it is flexible so I will be able to walk your dog as often as they need to. I have two dogs of my own that are super sweet and loves other dogs so your dog will fit very well into our already existing routine. I am respectful by following the rules of your home when I come into your home to pick up your dog. I will never do something that you do not approve of first whether it be giving a certain treat, going to a park, etc. Trust is the key!

About: I have spent my entire life around animals. My home has been shared with cats, dogs, snakes, birds, a rabbit, an iguana. I was also a veterinarian assistant for over a year. I took care of any and every animal that walked through our doors; cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, rabbits. Animals of all sizes. I walked, fed, bathed and cleaned up after them. I cared for them as if they were my own and will continue to do so with every animal entrusted to my care! I am currently working from home but my schedule can be flexible. My daily job and walk times work around each other so please notify me at least 3 days in advance of your booking date and I will try my best to make it work for you! As stated on my profile, I have a strict 7 day cancellation policy applied and it is automatically enforced by the Rover app. This is due to the nature of my day job as I may need to adjust those hours when scheduling a booking of any kind. Please be mindful of this, thank you. I always make sure their sleeping area is clean and tidy and I always make sure there is available fresh water. Food is given at a schedule dependent on the individuals needs. I give plenty of time for play/attention to ensure that they always feel loved and never lonely. Sometimes they want to be left alone and I respect that as well.

I can’t say enough great things about Ashley ! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate she is about animals. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. While at work I received photos, and little notes that reassured me my dog was not only safe, but happy and well cared for. It truly felt like my dog was being treated like family, not just a booking. When I come home from work, my dog is relaxed, content, and clearly has formed a bond with Ashley - which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet ! If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and full of love for your pet, I highly recommend Ashley !

About: I’m a medical student so I am home studying most of the time. I grew up with small and medium family dogs and have fostered a cat and three kittens in the past. I love taking care of animals! During the weekdays, I am available evenings and overnights. I am available the entire weekend as well. I would just need to know about your booking in advance to prepare myself. My apartment is very spacious and I live in a dog walking friendly community. There is plenty of space for your pet and their supplies. If your pet likes to play or be cuddled, that’s what we’ll do. If they would rather be left alone, I’ll care for them from a distance too!

Grace and her husband are simply amazing! They took care of my two cats like they were their own. I was out of the country for 6 weeks and my trip kept getting extended but Grace was very flexible and patient when it came to needing to book her for longer. They both went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking them again.

I love that Pete gives us such detailed recaps and pictures - it helps put our minds at ease, and we're always thrilled to see and read how unbelievably happy Oscar is while we're out. He came home exhausted; he tried so hard to keep the party going, but fell asleep very quickly and was out for the night. Thank you so much again, Pete!!

Truly professional! Anastasiia and Ivan are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was my first time leaving Bella for longer than usual, and I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about having her stay at home with people she didn’t know. But after seeing their incredible reviews, I decided to trust them — and I’m so glad I did. They exceeded every expectation. They were detailed, followed all instructions perfectly, and most importantly, their communication was outstanding. They kept me updated on everything and always asked questions before making any decisions. They made me feel completely comfortable, and Bella was genuinely happy with them. One moment that really stood out: on their first day, after we had already left, Bella was feeling uneasy when they walked in. Ivan sat on the floor near her and patiently waited for her to approach him, creating a calm and safe environment for her. That level of care and understanding meant so much. They showed real affection and truly cared about Bella’s wellbeing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional sitters for their furry family members.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wallington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wallington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 26,009 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wallington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wallington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wallington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter 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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wallington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wallington. On Rover:

  • 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.

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 sitter.
