“Avary is absolutely amazing! Extremely professional, communicative, and our Wrigley loves her! I appreciated her going the extra mile to be extremely thoughtful about the details (ex: treats, potty breaks). Avary saved the day for us when we unexpectedly had to head out of town! We can’t want to keep working with her!”
“Ashley was amazing and really came through for us. They took really great care of our dog, and made him feel comforted, which brought a lot of reassurance to us. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality pet care.”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Ella took such good care of my boy during walks/check-ins. She was very communicative and has so many cute picture updates! Highly recommend and I know Benny can’t wait to see her again 🩷”
“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 :)”
“Just recently met Alexandra and my doggie fell in love with her immediately. Alexandra was available to help me out in a pinch. She's been very timely and communicative. Greatly appreciated!”
“Elliott is great and you can rest assured your pet will be in good hands! He walked our two dogs while we were out for the day without a hitch. His confidence and comfort with them made their walk a breeze and he follows all directions exactly as you want! Elliott is a go to for a walk or some play time when we’re at work or away for an extended period during the day.”
“Quamara has been great! I can’t recommend her enough. I have very long days at work on Tuesday and Thursday - she’s been a life saver on these days when she walks my pup Wilma. I love getting so many updates and pictures- it’s such a relief to know Wilma is in good hands while I’m away. Thank you so much Quamara!!”
“AJ was amazing with my dog Sisi! Always on time and gave her extra special love and attention. I would definitely recommend AJ for all your pet care needs”
“Ciara is the best! She has been walking my dog for almost a month now and everything is always smooth, never any concerns at all. Proactive communication every step of the way. My dog is very happy with her and he’s always very normal when I get home later.”
About: Hi, I’m Onyx! 🐾 I’m a Chicago native, New Yorker, journalist, and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals has always been one of the most grounding parts of my life, and being a dog mom to my 60-lb Staffy mix, Reese, has given me years of hands-on experience understanding the personalities, routines, and quirks that make every pet different. I’m the kind of sitter who genuinely enjoys getting to know an animal—not just making sure they’re fed and walked, but making sure they feel safe, comfortable, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines and instructions, and I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs who love to play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I’m an active person myself, so long walks, runs, playtime, and keeping a pup entertained are right up my alley. I also have a serious collection of dog toys at home, so there’s no shortage of ways to keep a four-legged guest busy! Whether your pet needs an adventure buddy, a midday break, some extra cuddles, or simply a calm and reliable person to keep them company, I’d love to help. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own—and I know how much trust that takes. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! 🐶💛 I’m currently unemployed so outside of caring for my own dog, I have more time than ever to care for more pups while their parents are traveling. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, supplements, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable, pet-friendly space where they can relax and get plenty of attention and enrichment. I have lots of toys and love taking dogs outside for walks or trips to the park when appropriate. I’m also attentive to each pet’s individual personality and boundaries—whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter environment with lots of cuddles. After years of caring for my own dog, Reese, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal in my care with that same level of patience, attention, and responsibility.
About: Hi, I'm Ricky! Dogs have always been a part of my life growing up from Maltese-Shih Tzus, Jindos, to Huskies. Big or small, quiet or energetic, shy or outgoing, all dogs are welcome! 🐶 My style is calm and reliable. Rather than rush a nervous dog, I'd rather build a little trust first and let it unfold from there. It works especially well with shy or anxious dogs who need a patient handler, and with puppies who are still learning the basics. I'm also fully comfortable with larger, stronger breeds. 🐶 What to expect: * Flexible schedule, including last-minute requests when I can swing it * Quick to respond to messages * Happy to follow any routines, commands, or training cues you're working on * I'll send updates and photos so you know how the walk went 🐶 If your dog/cat has specific quirks, anxieties, or favorite routes, just let me know! I'm currently working part-time, which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. Since I already care for three cats of my own, feeding, litter, and check-ins are part of my everyday routine, fitting pet care into my day comes naturally. I'm happy to work around your timing for visits and can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I care for dogs and cats in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely, from feeding times to where their favorite hiding spots are. I always double-check doors and windows, keep food and cleaning supplies secured, and never leave anything lying around that a curious pet could get into. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own and leave everything tidy after each visit. I also pay close attention to your pet’s body language, giving shy or anxious little ones space while offering affection to those who want it, and I'll send photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
About: A lifetime dog lover, I've been cuddling and caring for dogs whenever I can for most of my life. From highly energetic farm dogs to the laziest Labradoodle you've ever seen, I'm experienced with animals of a wide range of needs and temperaments, meaning I know how to customize care for your pup. Worried your big, happy boy is too much for a sitter? Don't be: I've worked with heaps of farm animals in my time, from rowdy billy goats to cuddly cattle, which means that your 150-lb English Mastiff is just a little baby in comparison. I'm a master's student with an evening class load, which means my days are nearly completely open to walk and play with your animals! I'm free any time from Friday to Monday, and most of the work day on Tuesdays through Thursdays. I love fitting a good dog walk into my schedule between long homework readings, or coming home after evening classes to a cuddly pup to keep company for the night! I'm experienced with homestays and am eager to keep your dog or cat's routine precisely how they like it. No requirement--whether they need to be taken out a specific door to go potty, or if they like their dinner on a special plate--is too much if it makes your pup happy! I also love to keep clients up to date on how their pets are doing with lots of pictures, videos, and texts.
“Alice is a great dog walker for the worried helicopter dog parent. I don’t trust many people to walk poncho because of his reactivity but it was no sweat for Alice. I picked Alice for her experience with reactive pups and she delivered. Alice provided the perfect amount of communication and every check in helped me to relax. Thank you so much, Alice! I will definitely book walks with you again in the future.”
“Jonathan is great — flexible, communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. He has great energy and my dog was completely relaxed around him right away, which is unusual for her. Very happy to have found him!”

Anne-Charlotte is simply the best of the best! When my wife went in labor earlier than expected, Anne-Charlotte made her self available to help with morning walks until we were back from the hospital. She has made quick friends with our dog Soup, who can be pretty aloof, and had no problem handling his medication schedule. She has been a lifesaver!
Daniel is excellent. I have a reactive and somewhat anxious dog. She’s also never been particularly friendly towards males. Well, not Daniel! He came for introductions first and I can see in her photos she’s so happy with him! I will be booking Daniel lots more because he’s clearly great with my dog!
Claire was a wonderful longterm dog walker to our four-year-old pittie mix, June! She was always professional, communicative, and we could tell she loved June as if she was one of her own pets. June deals with some reactivity to other dogs and Claire handled her needs with care and regular updates. We always felt she was in good hands on her walks with Claire!
Alexey was wonderful! Truly went above and beyond with everything and I could tell he really cares about making sure Molly was happy and taken care of. Sent tons of great photos, I never worried once while having to travel. Will definitely be reaching out in the future, i highly recommend booking him
Erin is great to work with and has been a nice addition to our dog’s new routine. Happy to have someone that can give our dogs a little extra attention and walks throughout the week! Erin is quick to respond and is flexible when needed (weather, schedule changes, etc).
Chelsea (who goes by Reid!) is the best walker I have had. They are super affectionate and truly care about my dog. When we randomly ran into them in our building lobby my pup was sooooo happy to see them which made me feel even better about continuing to work with them. I love the photos I get sent of my dog of them having a little cuddle 🥰 makes my night better when I’m busy on the town!

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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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.

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.
