About: I come from a long line of dog lovers! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and it’s been a privilege to continue spending my days with my favorite animal. I’ve walked and dogsat for neighbors and family friends since I graduated college in 2021. I’ve also worked at Wonder Dog Studio in Summit, NJ, where I was a Daycare Manager and Driver. So, if your pup loves the car, I’d be happy to take them for a drive! My schedule is very flexible for day time walks and care. I’m also a Stand Up Comedian, whose shows are normally at night, either in NJ or NYC. I’ll always make sure your pup is taken care of before I head out, and have a network of other dog sitters to help me out if needed. I always make sure the pets in my care never feel lonely! I’ll sit on the couch with them while I work, read a book, or watch TV. While staying in someone’s home, I make sure that doors are locked before I head out, as well as leave the TV or music on for anxious pets. Finally, I always make sure to send the owner pictures of their pet at least twice a day!

About: I love animals! I’ve been a dog mom for 13 years, I’ve fostered over 25 dogs, & have experience cat sitting as well. I’m based in Cranford and grew up in Westfield so very familiar with the area. Animals are my happy place and I love babying and caring for them. As such, I’d like to offer my services to keep your pets happy with cuddles, playtime, and/or exercise while you’re away from them. I have a genuine connection with animals & would love to help them feel less lonely while you’re away. In addition, I can provide a quick dog massage towards the end of my stay if you think your pet would enjoy it! I’ve experienced all different energy levels and weight up to 80 pounds. I provide excellent service through my communication, following direction, timeliness, and genuine care of animals. I’m available on weekends any time. On weekdays, I’m able to drop in 5:30pm and after during weekdays. If you’re close to me, I can drop by early morning and/or lunch time. From being a foster mom to homeless dogs, I’m very cognizant of the safety of animals. I know dogs especially can be easily spooked so I ensure that I have a firm grip on the leash with it wrapped once around my wrist. My dog is a strong pitbull so I feel comfortable handling most large strong dogs. While I’m caring for pets, I talk to them like they’re babies! I’m very much guilty of having a baby voice, but I feel the animals love and respond to it!

About: I've got a soft spot for senior dogs and tons of experience training puppies! I have learned how to gentle take care of senior dogs and how to be patient. Also patience is key with training puppies, I was home during Covid and my family had work so I would be the one taking care of my puppy. What really sets me apart is the personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure to follow specific instructions closely, whether it's administering medication, sticking to a particular diet, or maintaining a certain exercise routine. I'm also super attentive and quick to notice any signs of discomfort or distress. Plus, I can send regular updates with photos and videos, so pet parents can see how much fun their furry friends are having! I believe clear communication and genuine care are key to building trust and providing the best possible service. I am currently babysitting 2 family’s, Monday - Thursday. I am also a student but do online school. I do have the weekends completely available. (I also want to point out I have 16 years on pet care experience because I have had dogs throughout my whole life.) When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I start by doing a thorough walk-through of the home with the client to understand their pet's routines, any specific needs, and house rules. This helps me maintain consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I follow the client's instructions meticulously, whether it's regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, or exercise routines. I also pay close attention to the pet's body language and behavior, to ensure they are comfortable and content. To build trust, I interact with the pet in a gentle and patient manner, offering plenty of positive reinforcement and affection. I also respect their boundaries and never force interactions. By prioritizing safety, trust, and a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for pets in their own homes.

About: Pet care experience: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for over 3 years, but my love for dogs goes back more than 30 years. When I was in middle school, I spent two summers caring for my neighbor’s dog, and I’ve continued to care for friends’ dogs ever since—including recently dog sitting for a friend while they were on their honeymoon. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving oral medications, or providing gentle care for senior dogs, I always treat every dog like they’re my own. What sets me apart: I genuinely love dogs and always take the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and fully committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies in training, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra attention. With a flexible schedule and a calm, loving approach, I make sure your dog feels at home—even when they're not. My partner and I both work from home during the week, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On weekends, we occasionally go out during the day, but we’re usually home in the evenings to relax—perfect for cozying up with a furry friend. Our flexible routine allows us to adapt to your pet’s needs, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. In our home, your dog will be treated like family. We create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I always follow any specific care instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medications and routines. We make sure walks are safe with secure harnesses and leashes, and we never leave pets unattended outdoors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: My love for animals started early in life when I decided to rescue a kitten off the streets when I was 10 years old. I went on to rescue one more cat while living with my parents and after moving out was finally able to get a dog. In the last 20 years, I’ve owned and fostered numerous dogs of all kinds. I love being in the company of animals, something about their presence makes me feel whole. I’m currently trying to make my passion, my full time job. This sallows me to be freed up with a lot of availability to take care of your furry children. I will not be offering these services at this time. But in the future if this is offered, any and all dogs will be treated as if they were my own.

About: Have always been an animal lover! I now have the time and opportunity to care for other pets. Have summers off from teaching and would love the extra income. My home is very pet friendly. My chihuahua Zoey is sassy but tolerant. She has co-habitated with 2 Labs, a super frisky Pit-Bull and more than one “class pet hamsters”. I personally have a classic case of “empty nest syndrome” since my 3 daughters have moved out, and really look forward to caring for other people’s pets. I wish I had this service years ago when I was going down the shore with my small children. We would usually board our dog which was not always a pleasant experience. I would have loved Rover for its petsonalized care!

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!!!!

Hazel was an exceptional dog walker, and I highly recommend her. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and dependable, giving me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she handled my very difficult dog with remarkable patience and compassion. She took the time to understand my dog's personality and built trust through consistency and care, even when walks were challenging. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my dog Flash's well-being and always went above and beyond to ensure they were safe, exercised, and comfortable. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who can confidently handle even the most challenging dogs, Hazel is an excellent choice.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Winfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Winfield is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 27,697 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Winfield. 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 Winfield. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Winfield 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 , 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 .

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

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.

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.
