“Christina was amazing! So friendly and responsive via text. She came for a pre-walk visit to meet our dog and you could tell she really cares for animals. We would happily have her walk Ziggy again anytime! Thanks Christina!”
“Jordan is the best - so flexible & communicative. We always feel (slightly) less guilty leaving our baby with her knowing that he’s totally obsessed with her. 12/10 would recommend.”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda and I am the loving mother to a bichon named Mollie. For the last seven years I have volunteered a lot of my time at local shelters in addition to helping walk dogs. I’m a very caring and compassionate person, and I help care for all dogs as if they are my own. Associates of mine have referred to me as trustful and reliable in helping care for their beloved members of their families. Through furthering education and professional experience, I’ve been able to fine tune what dogs need consistent with their breed(s). In addition, I am experienced in delivering dog first aid plus CPR. I provide my own transportation and my hours are flexible. I look forward to hearing from you.
About: I’ve grown up always surrounded by many pets and have loved taking care of them, as I got older I’ve gotten more experience properly taking care of different kinds of pets. I also have experience walking dogs in shelters and have experience with senior pets as well! I work full time during the week but am available any day during the weekends and in the afternoons after 4PM during the week as well! I have a large yard and safe, walkable neighborhood as well as 2 friendly dogs. I would always be respectful of others’ homes and their pets needs and boundaries!
“Alina did great with my dog, Nova! She arrived on time and soothed my worries by taking lots of pictures of Nova, who looked like she was having a great time. She was even amenable to my crazy work schedule and was nothing short of amazing about helping me out last minute two days in a row. Definitely going to request her again in the future! Thank you, Alina!”
“I am so happy I found Jasmine - she was so communicative and came to visit Sherlock before his first walk with her on the same day. This gave me total peace of mind. She spent time with Sherlock, walked him and kept me in the loop when she finished. She is lovely, easy to work with and most importantly, Sherlock took to her immediately!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with many years of hands on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler pace, as well as cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I feel deeply attuned to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine affection. Caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for regular pet sitting and care because they trust me to be attentive, responsible, and loving. I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work in yoga and childcare, which gives me a flexible schedule and a calm, grounded presence that animals tend to respond well to. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, overnights, or meds/extra TLC, I’m here to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I would love to meet you and your pet and support their routine while you’re away! I work here as a yoga teacher and provide child care to local families, my schedule is very flexible and moves between Beacon and Peekskill.

You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.
About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 14. I have looked after animals of all kinds, such as dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and amphibians. I am comfortable giving medication (outside of injection) and am willing to work with animals of all ages. As we enter the school year I am unavailable for midday drop ins but am available for house sitting or walks after 4pm. This is not my full time position so I will be unavailable from 8am to 4pm. My availability will open up during holiday breaks so keep an eye out for when my availability opens up. I always schedule a meet-and-greet before any care to get to know you and your pets. It helps me ensure I am providing the best care.

I love all pets, and hope I am able to help out in whatever way you need! As an actor between jobs, I have lots of time between weekly auditions to pet sit. Auditions come at different times during each week, so my availability is flexible and varies week to week. With many years of pet sitting within clients homes, what makes me special is that I never leave your home once I'm with your furry friend(s), even if they do well alone for periods of time. I'm very happy to play, walk, and just hang out with your pet, whether it be for a quick check-in visit, or a multiple night stay!

He sent plenty of photos, and our dog looked happy and excited in all of them. We’ll definitely book with him again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, bathing, and providing plenty of companionship and emotional support to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love animals and believe they’re part of the family, so I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own. I’m a loving, trustworthy, honest, and responsible sitter who will treat your pet like family, making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m currently working part time and volunteer a few days a week, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I’m available all day Wednesdays as of now, but can be flexible depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I’m attentive, responsible, and caring, whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, checking in for some company and playtime, or making sure they’re comfortable at home.

Sally loves his walks with Milo. Sully is always excited when he sees my Milo coming up the sidewalk and he runs back and forth between our front door and the kitchen wanting me to put his leash on. I never do it fast enough. I would definitely recommend Milo if anyone is needing a dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Balmville is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 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 October 2026, there are 1,882 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Balmville. 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 Balmville. 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 Balmville 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 Balmville. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 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.
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.
