About: Walked dogs of various breeds, age and size. Follow customer instructions on feeding and special needs. Keep record of each pet activity. Knowledge of dog behavior. I love to walk and spend time with pets. I am a pet owner of a border collie. I walk my dog every morning at 6 am for an hour to start my day. This will be my full time job. I know the importance of caring for an energetic dog. Balance between discipline and caring for pets. The same way I care for my dog, I will care for the pets in my care.
“Diego was amazing with my dog, Chai! He was super punctual and brought him back right on time after exactly an hour, which I really appreciated. He also kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was at work.”
“This was the second time Charlie helped me out and I couldn’t be happier . He came and met the pup he offered advice and asked many questions about Bruce’s personality and preferences. I asked to change time of the walk and he was very flexible! I am super happy with him and will continue on using him exclusively!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
About: Always surrounded by dogs, my family, friends, and my own dogs. I would offer to walk my friends' and family's dogs, and my last two dogs (Mini and Luna), two Chihuahuas, taught me great lessons, even though they were little bundles of nerves. I currently work in the afternoons, but in the mornings I have some free time to walk your beloved friend. Fridays and Saturdays are my days off, and I'll be able to give your loyal friend a nice and rewarding walk. Everyone has their own ways of loving and training their loyal friend. I always try to follow the owners' recommendations; there's nothing better than listening to the person who knows their faithful companion best. Likewise, with my own knowledge, I try to take all the necessary steps to give your friend the best walks and care possible.
About: Growing up in Peru, I started to take care of dogs of every kind since I was 8 years old. I would always feed stray dogs, and whenever they saw me, they would run to me, and we would create memories together. At the age of 15, my mom brought me a beloved companion who is now 17 years old. I also share my heart with an adorable cat. Both mean the world to me. I've always felt that animals have beautiful souls full of emotions and should be treated with respect, love and compassion. Hence, my ultimate goals in life is to open an animal sanctuary to care for these intelligent creatures for the rest of my life. I am currently attending school full-time; however, I am available for any requested services except Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8am and 1pm. We can always work something out. I have a small fenced yard and one friendly, playful havanese who would love to have playdates with your fur baby. Im always vigilant about my surroundings to ensure the safety of my own fur babies, and I'm equally committed to safeguarding yours as if they were my own.
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”
About: I've volunteered to walk dogs at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, walking dogs of different sizes and breeds for 45 minutes to an hour. My neighbors have also relied on me to care for their dog or cat. I am currently working part time so I have enough time to care for your pets. I am normally available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. In my client's home, I can stay for however long I am needed (if overnight is needed, i'm available). I am willing to take their dog for a walk for their daily exercise if that's okay with the client.
About: I started out day sitting my friends dogs in Manhattan. When I moved to queens, my housemate has a cavapoo, Boba whom I been currently been co-sitting for over two years. I been the primary sitter as I am at home mostly and am used to the daily routines of seeing what Boba needs and understand him more and more everyday. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs and mostly around the area. I spend most of my day around my house dog. On top of that I am a health conscious person and I love bringing Boba along on my workouts and walks around the neighborhood. I look forward to growing the community! I've setup systems to ensure safety as a priority. In the day Boba stays in the living area and it is fenced up to prevent him from going into the Kitchen and Bedrooms as those areas have food which is not only bad for his diet but could be a hazard. The living area will be filled with his favorite toys and occasionally to promote positive behavior,I will put together nourishment toys such as a semi-sealed container with treats to keep Boba engaged and entertained throughout the day. I walk him twice a day usually if the weather permits which is after lunch and after dinner.

About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions. I feed the pets according the owners instructions and ensure they have access to fresh water
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Nicole was amazing with Mylo! He can be hesitant to go on walks, but she was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with him. She took the time to make him feel comfortable instead of rushing him, and it really showed how much she cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciated her patience and the way she handled him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was with someone who understood his needs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! Amazing person!
I have been working with Brandon for the past couple of weeks while I have been fostering a puppy, Zen. I cannot say enough good things about him! First off he is great with Zen. He treats Zen as if he’s his own. Brandon has helped build Zen’s leash skills. He very patient with him and encouraging. He sends me great notes about the walks and Zen’s overall behavior. I look forward to working with Brandon with other foster pups or my own. Yours is in good hands when with Brandon. I can’t recommend him enough.
Carlos always goes above and beyond with my pup Nala. He takes such great care of her despite the extreme weather fluctuations from high heat to cold ice and snow. And he is incredibly flexible and understanding. I’m glad I have him as a recurring walker for my pup
Zachary was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Kona was comfortable and well cared for. He asked all the important questions ahead of time including several things I hadn’t even thought to mention which gave me a lot of confidence leaving Kona in his care. I would absolutely book with Zachary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diego was amazing with my dog, Chai! He was super punctual and brought him back right on time after exactly an hour, which I really appreciated. He also kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was at work.
Xiaoying was fantastic! Our dog loved her from the first meeting. She went above and beyond to walk him, even saying hello to our cat (who is usually afraid of new people). She was very professional, timely, and flexible with a couple of last-minute changes, and sent us plenty of pictures. We would definitely recommend her!

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 East Elmhurst. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in East Elmhurst.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Elmhurst. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
