“Sophie is incredibly friendly and kind. She greeted our large, silly dog warmly. Skylah had a wonderful walk with Sophie. We’re thrilled to have her take care of our furbaby!”
“Bella is wonderful. Not only is she great with my dog (and I'm sure everyone else's) she has her own dogs and cat....so she really understands how pet parents feel. The minute she met my dog, she came into my house, and started brushing him & rubbing his ears...you should have seen his FACE - He nearly fell asleep, lol. She definitely loves animals and she gets it. If she offered boarding/daycare, I'd totally trust her with my dog and I am VERY protective of my dog bc daycares in Riverdale allowed him to be attacked and harmed. She is careful and she actually cares.”
“Lorenzo was great! Very responsive, punctual, flexible with schedule, clear communicator, and my dog clearly enjoyed her time with him. I'll definitely ask him to help me out with weekly walks going forward.”
About: Hi all! My name is Lily, and I am finishing up a marine studies degree with an anthropology minor. The things I love the most in the world are animals and children. Most of my previous jobs have been babysitting as well as house and petsitting. For petsitting, I had stayed the night with cats and dogs, just stopped in for feedings, litter box changes, walks, and anything else that could be needed! I have also worked five summers as a camp counselor. After two summers at a regular camp, I got hired to work as a counselor at a nature center near my home town. Here I learned husbandry skills and behaviors of creatures from ferrets, to sulcata tortoises and lizards, to chickens and goats. I am currently an online student and I have asynchronous classes. I have a lot of availability during the week and weekends. I’m sure I will have the time to help out your pets! As of now I am living at home with family. I have boarded friends’ dogs and rabbits before, but I do prefer housesitting or house visits. Our home is currently pet free though, so if boarding is your preferred option please contact me and maybe we can work it out!
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.
About: I truly adore spending time with animals, making them feel cozy, happy and loved, like they just scored unlimited belly rubs and treats. Every pet becomes family! I work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available in the mornings after 8:30 AM and afternoons until 4:30 PM. On weekends, I’m available full-time to give pets all the attention and care they need. I treat every home with respect and follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I ensure pets are safe, comfortable and happy, giving them love, attention and lots of cuddles while maintaining a clean and calm environment.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was six years old and have always played an active role in their daily care. From feeding, walking, and grooming to providing plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. At 16, I began dog walking for friends and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the past two years, I've expanded my services to include in-home overnight pet care, allowing pets to stay comfortable and maintain their routines while their owners are away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trusting relationships with them. My experience, reliability, and passion for pet care help me provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I currently work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I often have two days off during the week and am available in the mornings and evenings before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time with your pets. My flexible availability helps me accommodate a variety of schedules while ensuring your pets receive the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Before caring for a new pet, I like to do a thorough walkthrough with the owner to learn about their pet's routine, training methods, preferences, and any special instructions. I believe consistency is important, so I strive to maintain the same structure and expectations your pet is used to in their daily life. When entering a client's home, I always proceed carefully, opening doors slowly and ensuring pets cannot slip outside. I make it a priority to keep fresh water available, follow feeding and medication schedules as instructed, and closely monitor pets during walks and outdoor time. If a pet is in the yard, I always check that gates are secure and fencing is safely enclosed before allowing them outside. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: I am an animal lover and have dedicated my life to caring for rescue pets since I adopted my first special needs cat in grad school. I have 9 years of foster experience with reputable animal rescues and am also a proud pet parent to 5 cats and 3 chickens. I am also experienced with administering medication and sub-q injections for pets with chronic kidney disease. Currently available for drop-ins and dog walking to cover weekends, evenings, and anytime you're looking to get away and need a reliable, patient and hardworking pet sitter you can trust. I am currently raising a 7 month old cat, and have experience caring for special needs animals (a cat with chronic kidney disorder). As a pet parent myself I know that every creature has its unique needs and am dedicated to ensuring that your pet's comfort and safety are taken care of.
About: I have been pet sitting and caring for friends pets since high school. I have taken care of cats, dogs and bunnies. I would love to help take care of your pets! I am available for mornings and afternoons. I work on a shift schedule right so my hours do change but that also means I have a lot of flexibility! I am a very patient person and will always do my best to sense the animals needs. I will let them come to me so they know they are in a safe space. I will follow the instructions left for me by the pets owner.
About: I have experience with 3 dogs for a total of 10 years. I love animals, they are my everything. I enjoy caring for animals big and small. I love their company and their cuddles, and of course the joy they bring that makes my heart warmup. I also have cared for reptiles, hamsters, and fish. I'm not afraid to get dirty and provide baths. I'm all up for the work and care of animals. I strive to always provide the best for the animals and care for them as they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and the adventures to come in the long run as their sitter. I can assure you they will be happy and in good hands.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old! I began dog sitting in my own house when I was in high school. I am able to take care of cats and dogs that need pills but not injections. I do work full time throughout the week from 8 am to 5 pm with some wiggle room. I take 1 hour lunch breaks so if a client is near and a pup needs a walk or to be checked on I have the ability for a midday walk/visit. Pre and post work my own pup gets a long walk. I am free all day on the weekends which often means a trip to the dog park or a walk on the trails. I have a back yard for leash walks and so fresh air is an option. If a pet is staying over they have the opportunity to stay in their crate or wherever they choose to sleep! My floors are mostly tile so incase of an accident all is good!
About: I know your dog is more than just a pet—they're family. That's why I'm committed to providing the same level of care, patience, and attention that I'd want someone to give my own. Who Am I As a long-time pet owner, I understand that caring for a dog goes far beyond providing food, water, and exercise. Dogs thrive on structure, purpose, consistency, and companionship, and I believe these qualities are essential to their overall well-being. My goal is to provide more than just a walk. I strive to make every visit a positive experience by giving your dog the attention, consistent care, and mental stimulation they deserve while you're away. My hope is that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you enjoy the peace of mind of knowing they're in good hands. How I Got Started My passion for caring for dogs began by helping neighbors and family members with their pets. I later had the opportunity to work for a private pet walking company, where I learned more about professional pet care, punctuality, and the importance of building trust with both dogs and their owners. That experience strengthened my commitment to providing dependable and compassionate care. What Can Clients Expect My goal is simple—to provide your dog with a safe, enjoyable, and positive experience every time I visit. I strive to build trust with every dog through patience, consistency, and genuine care. My hope is to become someone both you and your dog can rely on, while being a positive addition to your dog's quality of life. Thank you for considering me as your dog walker. I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon! Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule so I can accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you're away. My priority is earning your trust by providing dependable and compassionate care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dobbs Ferry
Drew walked our 2 dogs (a Lab and a Cocker Spaniel mix) every day for a week and it worked out great. He was very thorough in his communications and punctual on each visit. Our dogs can be anxious, but Drew was great with them and they instantly became comfortable. I would highly recommend Drew.

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 Dobbs Ferry. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dobbs Ferry. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
