About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Wether it be my own, my friends, or my neighbors, i’ve always loved and been very in tune with animals and nature. I have helped puppies with potty training, socialization, equipment dressing, crate training, recall, and more! I have also taken care of senior animals. Providing them comfort while administering any extra care or medication they may need, including injections of subcutaneous fluids. Overall, I have a ton of love and care for animals, as well as experience keeping them as safe and comfortable as possible. I’m currently interning remotely at a film production company located in Los Angeles. I only work Tuesdays and Thursdays and even then have a very flexible schedule. If you need a great last minute sitter/walker, i’m here for you! I treat your homes and pets as if they were my own! I am incredibly detail oriented, careful, considerate, and adept at problem-solving. I will carefully listen to any and all directions you provide and follow them to a tea, as well as be independent enough to prevent or solve and issues that may arise. I would love to ease your stress and help you take care of your beloved homes and animals!

About: Hello! I’d love to be your pet’s bestie. I have extensive experience caring for cats and litters of kittens from birth to eight weeks, subbing in for Humane Society foster friends when they were out of town. I also have 10+ years of experience walking, feeding and playing with dogs of all ages and sizes, including my own dogs (Golden Retrievers!) growing up. It brings me so much joy to see every animal's unique personality shine through when they are in my care, and I strive to make every pet feel as comfortable, safe and content as possible. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of space in my schedule to play with your pups or kitties! Whether it’s a walk or a visit to your home, I’d love to spend quality time with your pet. I can play with your cats and provide enrichment to keep them busy. For dogs, depending on their reactivity, I would be happy to bring them on walks of any length, for exercise or to go potty. If your home needs a light tidy or your pet makes a mess, I'd also be happy to clean that up for you.

Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.

About: Hi! A dog and cat lover based in UWS— I’m new to Rover but have been taking care of pets for over a decade! I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals :) I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle pace. I know it can feel scary to leave your loved furry friend for any amount of time but with me, I promise loving, special, and safe care! I have experience handling different temperaments, routines, and needs including administering medications, managing allergies, and adapting to each pet’s unique preferences. Whether it’s a quick visit, daily walks, or longer stays, I’m always happy stepping in and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a hybrid schedule with a lot of flexibility throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care. I’m in-office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but available for morning/evening care those days, and fully flexible the rest of the week for drop-ins, walks, and sitting. I’m able to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they’re getting the attention and activity they need! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet. I have a private outdoor backyard and live just a one minute walk from central park, so dogs get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs including medications and allergies and I always follow owner instructions closely. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times :)

About: My extensive background in pet sitting speaks for itself, but what truly drives me is my deep connection and ability to bond with animals. 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. 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

She arrived on time and after a short introduction with my pup they were off for the allotted time. She shared photos along the way and a summary post walk. I would book Catherine again!

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Central Park dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Central Park.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
