About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of puppies, dogs, and cats for the past 10+ years for family, friends, coworkers, and new friends from Rover. You can count on me to feed your pet according to their schedule, walk them when they need it, and make sure their water bowl is always full :). I'm accustomed to adjusting to different pet's needs because everyone is unique. I look forward to meeting your pet! Please note we have a 2 year old son, so we need pets to be kid friendly. We have a fenced in yard and love to take walks to the park. My daily job allows me to work from home and I have flexible hours. And I am available on weekends to take care of your pets. I care for pets with safety first. I live with my partner and we keep a tidy house that will have plenty of room for your pet to roam around. We live in a safe single family home and always lock the door to ensure your pets safety. When staying in other's homes, I treat it the same as mine, if not better. I ensure to lock the doors and never leave the trash or food out that can make a pet sick. My home has a fenced in yard that is perfect for your pet to get some fresh air before they get their afternoon walk and play time.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.
“Mary Ann is trustworthy, timely, and responsive. She did a fantastic job with my slightly-anxious dog, and he warmed up to her immediately. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up around dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals on my family’s farm in Ecuador. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible pet sitter who loves making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with feeding, walks, cleaning, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I especially love cats, but I’m happy to care for dogs too! I will treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I just moved to this country. I really love anímales and their well-being. I’m currently looking for a job, and I’d like to start working in a field I’m passionate about, which is animal care. I would care pets in their own home o just walking around the neighborhood, following the owner’s instructions and keeping their normal routine. I would make sure they have fresh food and water, give them attention and playtime, take them for walks if needed, and keep their space clean and safe. I would also pay attention to any changes in their behavior or health and communicate with owner if there are any concerns.
About: Hi! I’m Lizbeth a cat sitter turned dog walker who loves all things furry. I’ve been a trusted sitter on Meowtel for a while, and I’m now expanding to another app to offer both cat care and dog walking. Caring for animals has become a real passion of mine, and I love giving pets all the attention they deserve. I have hands‑on experience caring for cats of all personalities, and now I’m offering dog walking and drop‑ins as well. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat needs some company, I’m here to help. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I currently have an open and flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and even for overnight care when needed. This allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent walks, attention, and care without any rush. I love having the time to give pets the patience and presence they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine your pet already knows. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by keeping things familiar — their feeding schedule, their favorite spots, and the way they like to play or unwind. I give plenty of attention, gentle company, and calm energy, especially for pets who need extra patience. I also treat your home with the same respect I give your pet. I keep things tidy, double‑check doors and litter boxes, refresh water, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home exactly as you left it.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in Portugal, and my family had Serra da Estrela Mountain Dogs, two German Shepherds and a cat. Living with large guardian breeds taught me how to read a dog's mood, respect their space and stay calm when they're alert or excited. I'm comfortable with big, strong dogs, and with cats too. I also spent two years as an au pair in the US and often work with children, so I'm used to patience, routines and things not going to plan. I'm based in Montclair and available for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. work part time I have free the most of the days from 9am to 4 pm, and after 8 pm so I have flexible hours during the day for walks and playtime. I'm also available on weekends, including overnight stays. Tell me your dog's routine and I'll fit around it adapt to your dog and your home. We'll agree on the schedule, feeding and any special needs beforehand, and I follow your instructions closely. If anything feels off, I'll contact you right away.
“Manuel did a very good job with my guys. I asked him to tire them out and make sure they did their business (Mr. Khan is a bit fussy about it) and he did just what I asked. My boys seemed to like him and were back each time exhausted without a care for anything other than water and sleep. This was a good introductory experience with this app, I'm glad I chose well and in the future I will choose Manuel again to walk my guys. Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated!”
“Nicole took the time to really gauge what Cocoa wanted each day. Some days all she wants is to play or get belly rubs and others she wants a long walk around the neighborhood. She always sent a report on how Cocoa was and what they did and included great pictures of her playing or getting pets. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!”
“Best dog walker we’ve had. Responsive, on time, really great with our dog, sends good pics & updates… I’m very happy we found her. Do not hesitate to book!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Orange
Tracy and Steven are amazing. Being able to go away knowing Andi was is great hands was such a weigh lifted off my shoulders. I really appreciated all of the updates and pictures. A great experience all around and without a doubt will use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to look after their pups!!!
Kyra was amazing! She was able to help out last minute and even came twice in one day to walk and feed our pup who absolutely loved her. She is super sweet, a very proactive communicator and took great care of our fur baby. We would highly recommend her for all your pets needs and will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you so much!
Mark answered my request on short notice and really helped me out. He is very friendly and trustworthy. He always showed up exactly on-time and was very careful with my dogs. I needed to ask him to let himself in and feed my dogs in addition to the original request just to walk them and he had no problem doing exactly what I needed his help with. I will definitely be requesting him next time I need dog care. I highly recommend him.
I’m home recovering from surgery and had never used Rover before, so I was really nervous about booking in general. Katie was beyond sweet, patient, and treated Curley so kindly. The first day, she brought her daughter, who was also the sweetest and such a bonus since Curley loves kids! They communicated with me and shared the cutest pictures. I felt really comfortable having them walk Curley and will definitely continue booking with them ☺️

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 West Orange. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
