“Rachael is a gem! As a college student building her business, she brings so much energy and professionalism to the job. I was nervous about my dogs’ leash reactivity, but Rachael’s background with her own large dogs made her a perfect match. She was punctual, flexible, and provided the kind of detailed communication that every dog parent loves. We’ve already planned to hire her again. Don't hesitate to book her!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, and working dogs (livestock herders) for over 10 years. I have experience working with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments and administering medication to dogs and small livestock. I work full time as an urban garden educator for children and teens. In this position I have had the opportunity and work with reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small mammals. I am available for pet care on the weekends and most evenings (after 5pm) during the week. I will follow client’s instructions for entering and leaving their space both for their peace of mind but also to provide a consistent, familiar environment for their pets.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young and have 3+ years of hands-on experience supporting friends, neighbors, and family with daily walks, feedings, and overnight stays. I grew up with lots of dogs ranging from toy poodles to chow chows, from when they were babies to seniors. My eldest today is a 12 year old bichon named Olaf! I’m comfortable with puppies to seniors and can follow special feeding, medication, or behavior instructions. I live in a spacious, clean, pet-friendly apartment and provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, attention, and communication throughout your dog’s stay. I work from home most days, so your pup won’t be left alone for long periods! I’m flexible with schedules, happy to do meet-and-greets, and I tailor care to match your dog’s routines and needs. My goal is simple: make sure your pet feels at home and well-cared for while you’re away. 💛🐶 I currently work part-time at home and have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins or walks on weekdays and open for boarding on weekends and evenings. Your pet will always get quality time, attention, and routine care during their stay. I take safety seriously and make sure each dog feels secure and comfortable. At my home, pets have a designated safe space, clean environment, and supervised playtime. I can crate if needed, follow specific routines, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know your pup is in good hands. Just let me know what your dog needs in advance!

About: My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, fun and loving environment for your dog to thrive in and enjoy during your time apart. I am happy to accommodate specific requests and adhere to your pup’s schedule as communicated. I am always happy to provide a long walk and/or playtime. I am available to care for your pup in your home, for walks, and for drop-ins - whatever is best for you and your furry friend! I love being outdoors, visiting the beach, running and hiking, cooking, and spending time with my family, friends, and animals. I have adored pets, especially dogs, since I was a small child when we had our first dog. I have been fortunate to have had a dog in my life more often than not. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and making their day as happy, comfortable, and nurturing as possible. Please let me know how I can best create this environment for your pup. I am available Friday through Sunday to provide pet care. I am happy to provide services from early morning to the evening time or overnight upon proper communication and scheduling. I am a very conscientious, respectful, and clean individual and am happy to follow the preferred guidelines for your home while caring for your pet(s).

About: I'm a passionate pet lover with a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. I believe that pets are not just animals but cherished members of our families. As a pet parent myself, I understand the unique needs and unconditional love our furry friends provide. Currently, I have a 5 year-old cat with special eye and health conditions, so I'm experienced in providing extra attention, patience, and care to pets with unique requirements. I know the importance of maintaining their comfort and well-being. Growing up, I had the privilege of having a lifelong family dog, whom I lovingly walked and cared for throughout his life. This experience instilled in me a deep understanding of the joys and responsibilities that come with being a pet owner. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to their happiness and safety. I take pride in offering services that cater to the individual needs of your beloved pets, whether it's training puppies, providing senior care, or simply giving them the affection and attention they deserve. My availability is super open, I work part time as of right now so I can stay overnight if needed. Morning or night I can be there! In my home, your pets will be treated like part of the family. With a dog park conveniently located nearby, your dog will have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor exercise, playtime, and socialization with other friendly pups. Regular walks and play sessions will keep them active and happy. For feline friends, I have a cozy cat tree at my home, providing a perfect perch for your cat to observe the world or simply relax in comfort. Whether your pet enjoys some outdoor fun or prefers a quiet, sunny spot indoors, their needs and preferences will be accommodated. When caring for pets in your home, I bring the same dedication and love for animals. I understand that pets thrive in familiar surroundings, so I prioritize maintaining their routines and minimizing stress during your absence. I'll ensure your dog gets their regular exercise, playtime, and potty breaks according to their usual schedule. For cats, I'll provide the attention and affection they need, whether it's playtime, cuddles, or simply ensuring they have a clean litter box and fresh water. My goal is to provide your pets with a safe and comfortable environment, whether it's in my home or yours, while keeping their happiness and well-being at the forefront of my care.

I am grateful to Rosanna for being available for a last minute walk but I was really disappointed that she chose to walk Noodles around a few city blocks instead of the park (we live 1/2 block from Central Park). Otherwise all was great - quick response, good communication.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Downtown 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 Downtown.

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.
