“Gretchen was very responsive and able to fulfill my last minute needs. My dog looked very happy on his walk with her and her son, and I would happily ask Gretchen to look after my pupper again. Thank you Gretchen.”
“Christina knows dogs. She especially knows how to break the ice with a shy husky, that doesn’t like new people. Christina is warm, patience and re-assuring for owners of a temperamentally old pup.”
About: With our goofy boy, your dog will have plenty of exercise and playtime. We have a spacious home and flexible schedule for pet care. I work various hours and my partner works from home. We have a yard for the dogs and separate basement area for boarding comfortably (or to keep our cat away from non-friendly dogs). We enjoy the dog park with your permission and spend a lot of time outside during the warm months. Our dog is young and energetic so playtime lasts for hours unless your dog prefers a nap, he will snuggle up or be separated. Potty breaks are often during the day in our yard. The dogs are rarely left home for more than a few hours. We have crates for our dogs, special areas for our cat to stay safe, and a basement for boarding other dogs comfortably. Our goal is to give our clients a better experience than if they were in a crated boarding facility all day.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I always prioritize safety, patience, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos during walks or visits. I’m also flexible with scheduling and available for last-minute requests. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, or pet care. I only work Sundays and Mondays, so I have open availability the rest of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and happy to work around your schedule. I always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and taken care of. I’ll follow whatever routine you have, whether that’s walks, feeding, or anything specific they need. I’m really attentive and patient, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to follow specific routines, dietary requirements, and any special instructions you provide. In addition to general care, I have skills in administering oral medications, handling anxious pets, and reinforcing basic commands for dogs. I’m also experienced in recognizing signs of stress or illness, which allows me to respond quickly if a situation arises. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or giving attention, I make sure pets feel loved and secure while their owners are away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and affection they would receive from you. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my day! I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get their walks, meals, and attention right on time. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so I always make sure they have the care and love they need every single day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and make sure everything is secure and pet-friendly. I give your pets plenty of love and attention so they feel happy and stress-free while your away. If I care for them in my home, they’Ll have a clean cozy space with fresh water, a comfortable resting area, a big fenced in backyard, and lots of playtime. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved and well cared for in any environment.
“Grateful is one of the first words that come to mind when describing our experience with Leah. That word brings with it respect, trust and a new friendship. We love our pups and want the best for them always but when leaving them for a while, it’s especially comforting to know that they are in such wonderful hands and those hands are attached to a big heart! Thank you Leah!”
“Kalyna, did an amazing job with bishop while I was away for the holidays. She is reliable and great with dogs. If you haven’t booked her yet. You need to stop thinking and BOOK HER NOW!!”
“Jr was the best option for taking care of my girls while I was gone. They made sure they knew every detail of care before I left and sent me updates while I was gone. I could not have asked for a better sitter!!!”
“Maryline is wonderful with my puppy Josie. She is reliable and flexible when it comes to my work schedule. She also keeps me updated throughout the day with plenty of photos from their walks.”
“Lex is amazing! We needed someone to walk our pup and hang out with her for an hour and Lex was so sweet with her (and our kitties). Super communicative, sent cute photos and great to work with. Thanks, Lex!”
“Rebecca was fantastic with my pup! He took to her immediately and got excited whenever she came. My dog is a rescue, so he often struggles to trust. Rebecca had great communication and very flexible. I will definitely be using her for my dog walking needs in the future.”
About: I've taken care of my own dog and cats for over 10 years, as well as others' fur babies. My love for animals makes this a job that I actually enjoy and feel passionate about. Your pets will be safe and happy with me. I am stepping down to part time at my current job so that I can make more time for sitting/walking! My schedule will therefore be much more flexible. Whether your yard is fenced in or not, I will cautiously watch your fur baby and make sure they are safe at all times (doors closed/locked, leashed when walking, etc.)
About: I personally have a cat that was initially my daughter’s but I inherited her and have grown to love immensely. I have cared for my daughter’s chameleon and tortoise in her absence on several occasions. I’m a big dog lover!!! They bring me lots of joy. I have had shepherds, Belgian Malinois, mixed breeds, and labs in my life. Currently I continue to have two full grown labs, and a yellow puppy lab in my life through my great friend. I could not imagine life without them. They are the definition of unconditional love. I’m currently working full time, but if needed I can be available in the evening for dog walking. And on the weekends I have availability for dog walking, feeding, or playing. I will care for them as if they were my own with care, compassion, and love. And ensure that they are always safe in my hands.
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. I am happy to adhere to the routines you have created and personalize care based on your fur baby's needs. Walking, overnights, any special care ( treatments/ meds).
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Beacon is $25

Jenna has consistently demonstrated care and consideration toward my two senior dogs as she walked them weekly for the past 10 months. One of my dogs is a diabetic and the other is skittish/reactive. She was able to provide individualized care for each. She always communicates professionally and is on time. I know my dogs are in good hands with her. I will definitely be employing her services again and I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Beacon on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,164 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Beacon. 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 Beacon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Beacon.

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 Beacon. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
