“Avary was fantastic! You can tell that she is comfortable and experienced. She took her time getting Otis and Maenard comfortable when putting on their harnesses and meeting them for the first time. She taught us some new tricks for an easier time getting dressed, too! She was thorough and had great energy. Excited for more walks in the future! Thank you again, Avary!”
About: Hi, I’m Onyx! I’m a journalist, dog mom and Brooklyn resident. Caring for animals has always been one of the most grounding parts of my life. Whether it be handling high energy large breed dogs during walks or getting a shy pup to take their medication during a drop in, I’ve done it. I enjoy getting to know your pet, not just making sure they’re fed and stimulated, but also comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines and instructions, and I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos. I’m pretty flexible with enough notice. If your dog is friendly and in the neighborhood, he or she may be able to join my route. My priority is making sure they feel safe and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. And as always, in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space.
“Ella is amazing! She is consistent, communicative, and our dog loves her! She sends photos and always updates us about walks with our pup. I’m happy to have found Ella!”
“Thank you for walking my Zola ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She is such a sweet and responsible, trustworthy, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet walker! 🐾❤️”
About: I’m a dog lover and media strategist who’s new to New York. I can’t have a pup of my own because of frequent work travel, but when I’m home, I’m all in on giving dogs the love, care, and playtime they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs of every size and energy level since I was 10, and friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and even bathe their pups. Your dog will have plenty of company while I work remotely and a new buddy for belly rubs and adventures. I work remotely from 9 to 6 pm, so I’m home and available throughout the week to care for your pup. They’ll have plenty of attention, walks, and company while I work since my company is super flexible and I don’t have to be glued to the screen 24/7. I live alone in a comfortable, tidy apartment filled with natural light. There’s a large balcony with a high railing where, if allowed, your dog can sunbathe and watch the world go by as I work beside them. My building has a private patio, and the quiet tree-lined street outside has grassy patches perfect for quick breaks and strolls.
“Laura is the best! My senior dog Tiny took to her immediately. I’ve used Laura twice so far and she’s been punctual, communicative and just overall wonderful. Tiny can be reactive and some quirks, but Laura has been mindful of them and I’m at ease knowing Tiny is in her care! Will definitely continue to book with Laura :)”
“Q was great - we had a pre-walk phone call so she could get some details, and I appreciated her attention and care! The walk itself went super smoothly, and my furry pal was happy when I got home.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my whole life. I see pets as individuals with individual needs, and I aim to give each one the attention he or she deserves. My schedule is wide open, because I’m in the process of searching for my next career job. In the meantime, I’m eager to meet some Brooklyn dog and cat owners who need a friendly, reliable pet sitter. I am good with cats and dogs of all sizes, and I am willing to accommodate any special needs. My own cat has separation anxiety, and so I understand how much attention some pets need. I am more than happy to spend quality time with cats and dogs.
About: I've been dog-walking for friends and neighbors since I was a kid, and post-college began dog-walking professionally in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've cared for dogs young and old, and I tailor my care to each specific dog's needs, including health-related exercise restrictions and the dog's level of comfort around other animals and people. I work at a coffee shop in Brooklyn about five days a week. Mostly available for morning or evening drop-in visits, but I'm fairly flexible! I am a mom to a shy rescue kitty named Crowley. When he first came into my life, he was scared of people, so it has been a steady journey of building trust with him, making sure he feels safe and comfortable. He's made a lot of progress in the time that I've had him, trusting me, becoming more social with guests, and generally living his best life as a silly, spunky little guy. It just goes to show what a world of difference a loving home can make!
“Sidra was so wonderful with my 2-year-old golden retriever!! She was very communicative, took great photos, followed all of my instructions, and was available when I needed help last-minute. Thank you Sidra!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for pups of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I share my home with Ollie, my friendly and active 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix, who loves making new dog friends. I previously worked as a veterinary technician and am Fear Free Certified, so I'm comfortable administering medications (including injections), recognizing signs that something isn't quite right, and helping nervous pups feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience with basic training and love reinforcing good manners using positive, reward-based methods. I currently work in the animal health industry, but I missed the hands-on part of caring for dogs, so I'm excited to be back doing what I love! I also owned and operated a dog walking and daycare business in Washington, DC, so whether your baby needs a fun walk, puppy playtime, extra patience for their senior years, or lots of love while you're away, they'll be treated like part of my family! My schedule is flexible, so I'm available most days, evenings, and weekends—with weekends being my preferred time for bookings! I can usually accommodate requests with about a day's notice. Whether you need a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, feel free to reach out. Even if it's last minute, I'm always happy to see if I can make it work! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have one very dog-friendly dog, Ollie, and live alone in a one-bedroom apartment, so I can easily separate dogs if needed. We're also just a short walk from Prospect Park for plenty of exercise and enrichment. In your home, I'll stick to your pup's normal routine, including walks, meals, medications, playtime, and lots of love and attention so they feel comfortable while you're away.
About: Having cared for many pets over the years, I bring a genuine love for animals and a dedication to providing the best experience for both cats and dogs. I know being away from your pets can be very stressful so I will ensure you are up to date and informed on their care. I work from home, so my availability is very flexible. I’m mostly available early morning and evenings, but midday visits are also possible. I will spend quality time with your pets, and no visit will be rushed. I know your pets will be alone all day so I want to ensure the time I spend with them is enriching. I prioritize safety and trust by ensuring pets are in a secure, pet-friendly environment. I follow their routines closely, provide supervised playtime, and create a calm space for them to relax. Clear communication with owners ensures peace of mind.
“Will forever sing Lenford’s praises. He has shown up for me and my pup, Mochi, so frequently over the last year. So grateful for him and his partner! They’re fantastic.”
About: Hi! I'm Sehin, a Brooklyn based certified dog lover! Big on happy tails and belly rubs plus I love every dog's unique personality and quirks, even the sassy ones! I pay close attention to what makes each pup comfortable, which is easy since I only take one family at a time, so your pup always gets my full attention. When your pet is in my care, you can expect me to use positive reinforcement training methods, and I'm happy to reinforce any training you've already started, like leash manners, crate training, or basic commands. I work remotely as a copywriter, which gives me the flexibility to spend lots of quality time with your pup throughout the day. I also take lots of long walks in my free time, so dog walks fit seamlessly into my routine & I’m always happy for the company. Whether I’m hosting or caring for your dog in your home, I pay close attention to the details you share, including their social preferences, to keep things stress-free and familiar. I treat them as if they were my own! If needed, I can also provide a safe, comfortable crate setup. I’m always happy to help reinforce any training you’re working on!
About: I love pets of all kinds and actively engage them when I visit. I can take out and walk dogs as needed or just hang out with your dog, cat, or both. I’m a grad student doing classes at night, so most days in the morning through daytime are available. I can work with you to be flexible where possible. I can adapt to any home situation, just be communicative on what you have and what you need. Excited to get to know your pet(s).
About: I'm a super energetic person who takes random walks at like 3 AM and I thought, why not bring a four-legged friend with me the next time I roam? I genuinely enjoy being around animals and have been a cat owner for seven years. I have extensive dog-watching experience, which includes caring for my aunt's elderly dog, but I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love learning about all types of animals, and I'm excited to meet your furry, feathered, or scaled babies! (P.S.) I am also happy to provide the same care and love to any non-traditional pets :) I'm willing to work with different schedules. I am usually available throughout the weekdays and weekends too. I can also accommodate late night drop ins. I’m extremely observant and always around when caring for a pet. Your pet's comfort is my main goal and I'm always open to making accommodations to meet your pet's needs. I am also quick to reach out if any problems arise.
“I was in need of a last minute walk for my pup and Nicholas was very responsive and available. He was very communicative throughout as well! Highly recommend and would use again”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my family and learned at a young age to be responsible for their needs and safety. I have pet sat for family friends in the past, and I love all animals. I am flexible to your needs and schedule, currently unemployed. I recently moved to the area and am currently unemployed, so Im super flexible to your individual needs. Shoot me a message and we can talk availability :) I have one family dog, a 5 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Lola. She get’s along well with other dogs and people. I take her for walks/swims and play fetch in our large backyard often. I treat all pets with the same love as our own :)
“Emily was amazing coming and meeting / walking my foster pup Gus! He’s the sweetest dog but needs some time to warm up and Emily was so good to spend time with us and Gus to get him comfortable. Will absolutely be using Emily again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of neighbors and friends since I was 10. My family got a dog when I was 13 and she was mainly my responsibility - I would walk, feed, play with her, take her to parks, etc. She moved with me and unfortunately passed away a year ago. They now have a new dog that I go home to take care of when they are away. I also walk my friend’s dogs whenever they are unable to do so. I am freshly graduated from college and currently unemployed so my availability is open with the exception of Wednesdays as I spend my day taking ceramic classes. I am a patient, caring person. I respect others spaces and am well aware that I will be a guest in your home. I am clean and organized and can follow potential instructions necessary for the care of your pet.

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 Brooklyn. 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.

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 .
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.
