“Tiffany is a clear communicator, was open and detailed about her availability, and I really appreciated her flexible with some scheduling adjustments. She left a detailed post-walk note and took note of things like leash pulling that we had mentioned we are trying to work on. Though usually shy, our dog Missy was instantly comfortable with Tiffany.”
“Paola is amazing, with great and quick communication. She is reliable and accommodating. I see how much she cares about animals and it shows while taking care of mine!”
“Hannah was kind, responsive, and immediately got along with our two dogs. One of our dogs is a 95lbs German Shepard who barks when anyone enters the home but she handled him with easy and care. We are so grateful for her and will definitely book again!”
About: $0 fee cancellations. My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals and animal groups. I believe this personal connection is what makes me an exceptional caregiver, and it’s the reason I’m so passionate about working with pets. All pets are different and I am accepting of all. Happy to provide emergency backup care for multiple clients at a time. Boarders feel comfy and make friends here. I can provide setup info before booking in case it’s what your pet needs. I have a wide open schedule. I wake up and get my pet ready for breakfast and I handle clean up around the same time. Throughout the day I engage with my pet. I have time and availability to do house visits or to walk your pet. I live in an apartment that is pet friendly. The windows are secure and the neighbors are pet lovers as well, so there is socializing and our 5 unit apartment building. The neighborhood here engages with pets on a regular basis
About: I have a doodle of my own named Nugget, so I'm very familiar with the love, care, and attention our furry friends need! I also currently work part-time at my local doggy daycare, where I help supervise and care for the dogs in the play area, making sure they're safe, happy, and having fun. I also help with walking the pups home. It's been a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely love spending time with them! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility in my weekly schedule to dedicate time to pet care. I would love the opportunity to spend that extra time caring for your babies, whether it's walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and would be excited to make them part of my routine! I always come prepared with my own essentials, including extra collars, treats, and poop bags, to make sure your pups are happy, comfortable, and safe. Whether we're going on a walk or spending time together during a home drop-in, I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I also take the time to follow each pet's individual routine and any specific instructions from their owners so they feel comfortable and well cared for!
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always enjoyed caring for them. Growing up, I would often take care of my extended family’s dogs and even watch friends’ dogs for some extra cash. More recently, I’ve also helped friends in the area by dog and cat sitting when they needed someone they could trust. Since I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, I decided to give pet care a try locally. I recently moved to Astoria, and one of the things I love most about the neighborhood is seeing so many people out walking and enjoying time with their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule gives me flexibility during the week, and I’m excited to make pet care a regular part of my routine while getting to know the pets and people in my new neighborhood. I currently live in a 1bd apartment in Astoria and don’t have a pet of my own. I’m mainly looking to offer dog walking and drop-in visits, where I can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. For drop in visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, refreshing their water, giving them attention and playtime, and taking them outside for a bathroom break if needed. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets a safe and enjoyable walk.
“Yuji was a lifesaver! He was able to step in last minute when our regular dog walker couldn't make it. He was very professional and punctual, and our pup seemed to enjoy their walk. We would definitely recommend Yugi and would use his services again.”
“Fariha has been an absolute pleasure to work with. You can tell she actually cares, and is very professional. I was a little apprehensive at first about using rover, but those fears were put to ease right away. Highly recommend.”
“Maddie, is absolutely wonderful dog walker! Reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Parker was always happy to see her, and I have peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands. Highly recommend!””
About: I have two cats at home in Michigan who I love dearly and take care of: cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playing, etc. I also grew up with medium-sized dogs, love dogs oh so much, and have experience with their care as well: taking outside, going on walks, feeding, playing, etc. In my couple of months on here, I have already had the pleasure of taking care of many pets and am so grateful to have some repeat clients! I can’t wait to get to know more NYC pets!!! I love animals with every bone in my body :) I am a barista almost full-time and an aspiring actor, so auditions are a heavy part of my schedule. Shorter tasks and small drop-in visits are best for me! I typically work either 6:30-1 or 12:30-7:30 5 days a week, usually having Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. Let me know what works for you! I love pets and treat them with so much love and care. There is nothing more special to me than the love of an animal, and I will do anything needed to keep their routine consistent and fun!
“Marina has become our regular walker! So kind, professional, reliable, and a pleasure to communicate with. We completely trust her with our dog Zora!”
“Alice and Ethan were amazing with our playful 5 year old black lab when we needed last minute help with dog walking. They took great care of him and sent plenty of happy photos and updates during their time together. I felt very comfortable knowing that our dog was spending time with caring pet people and hope they can spend time with him again soon!”
“Writing another review for Medina because she’s always so great! Not only is she available when you need someone last minute, but she’s great with the dogs and will always write a cute and funny review about your fur babies. Thanks, Medina!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Astoria is $25

Sharon is very responsible and attentive! She always communicates any schedule changes in advance and checks with me about walking arrangements when it rains. She’s also very responsive and genuinely loves dogs, which really shows in how she cares for them. My pup absolutely loves her too! Highly recommend!
Where do I start. Coming on this app I was very nervous as I’m sure all of us are with our babies but Deshaun made the whole process easier. From taking his time to come meet Jack with me on our walk before committing, to even taking him on long walks and being so kind. I’m very happy with him and so glad and excited to keep working with him! Thank you so much.
Katherine was wonderful! Finding a dog walker on Halloween was surprisingly difficult, so I was incredibly grateful that she was available on such short notice and able to accommodate two walks today. She was very responsive, communicative, and kept me updated along the way. I really appreciated how easy she made everything! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker or sitter. She’s already coming back for a second walk today, and I hope to continue working with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Astoria is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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 28,686 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Astoria. 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 Astoria. 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 Astoria 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 Astoria. 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.
