Anne took such good care of our girl Frankie and was super communicative with us about everything happening. We felt so relieved knowing our dog was in good hands and cared for by someone who truly cares. 10/10 would recommend!

Ann took care of my two pups so well while we went out of town for a quick day beach trip! She was super responsive and gave thorough updates with pictures. She was so kind to come over a few days in advance for a quick meet and great and really put my mind at ease knowing our two dogs were in great hands with Ann. We will definitely be rebooking!

About: I'm here! As a lifelong pet owner, I know what it takes to ensure that my cats, dogs and critters are well taken care of (and although it's not always easy, it's always rewarding) I have successfully raised kittens and puppies and I am familiar with basic puppy training techniques and tricks and would love to work with your puppy if you're currently training them, feel free let me know what you're working on so I can help with the process. I also have personal experience handling small animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas and mice and would love to meet yours if you have any :) ★☆★ NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE★☆★ For my and your pets' sake, I do not accept bookings without an initial meet and greet prior to the scheduled assignment. I understand things do happen last minute however for safety reasons it is best to do a meet and greet before I take on any new clients, I would prefer not to intrude on an animal's space without them at least being familiar with my presence and I am not comfortable with needlessly causing them any stress. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I have over over 5 years of professional dog handling experience from working at a local doggy daycare and as a dogwalker with a small company. There, I've familiarized myself with the visual cues of canine body language to ensure that safety is my top priority for the pack. I know some dogs have bad days like the rest of us, that's why I like to think they would be in good hands. I also have about 3 years of professional dog walking experience with another company (The Dogwalking Network) in the Park Slope area where I walked about 10-15 dogs a day of various sizes (and never more than 4 dogs for groups, based on temperaments of each individual dog) I am currently a part time student at City Tech looking for some part time fun with your fur babies! Rain or shine, I'm available in the general Fort Greene area. Lots of play, treats and unconditional love! If there is anything that I need to know, please do not hesitate to inform me. I have personal experience with administrating oral medications and will be extra mindful of any allergies or conditions your fur baby has. Please inform me ahead of time if there is any additional information that I need to know in regard to any tips or tricks for getting access to your pups and kitties such as tricky locks, doors, entry codes, etc so I may plan ahead for your convenience.

Andrew was excellent with my dogs, who can be strong pullers when chasing squirrels. He handled them with patience and ease, and they came back happy after a long, well-paced walk. He was prompt, accommodating, and had a calm, steady presence that’s perfect for high-energy pups. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Andrew!

About: Growing up with dogs, I have learned the excitement as well as hardships of having a fur baby. I have two girls of my own that are my world! This job is really to afford their treats 🤣. I have experience with newborn pups and senior care. I am an Army Veteran and as a former Combat Medic I was honored to learn life saving skills for dogs. I look forward to assisting you with your needs & meeting your furbabies! I am currently in school and I spend my early mornings in class. Besides that I am currently available to schedule my days around your needs. I care for your pets like my own! I understand all dogs have different needs so I pay extra attention to any specific details given. Your home will be respected and your fur baby will get all the pets and huggies it desires!

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.
