“Marcela did an amazing job!! She was so communicative and responsive, and took great photos and videos of the walk. I can tell my dog got comfortable with her very quickly, and that she was able to read his communication and body language very quickly as well.”
About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Charlie was great with my foster puppy, Joey! He is very communicative and kept me informed about his arrival times for the two days I requested walks. My puppy got adopted, but I will be going back to Charlie when I get my next pup!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I had a Maltese named Louie that I saved from aspca. I got him when he was 4, the police had rescued him from an abuser and I had him till he was 10 years old. He unfortunately passed away in his sleep in 2022. I also had a labrador named Milo that I received from a friend who couldn’t care for him anymore. Sadly Milo developed cancer and we made the hard decision of letting him go a little over a year ago. They were both the best dogs I had in my life and everyday I miss them. I currently have 2 boy cats. So I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I also have experience in taking care of a family friends dog recently this December. His named was Teddy. He also was cute and funny. I love being around animals. Dogs especially. I’ll always make sure your pets needs are met and your fur babies feel safe with me. Currently I’m working full time as a cashier for a supermarket but I’m doing this on my off days. I’m available all day Mondays & Wednesdays. For dog walking. I’ll always make sure to walk your dog in a stress free environment where your pup can feel safe. Walking on busy roads can be uneasy for some dogs so I would always make sure where I was walking my dog, He was comfortable at. Making sure your pup is also comfortable with me is key. I would talk to my dogs on our walks but I’m also vigilant on make sure they’re not eating any foreign objects or food.
About: I've always loved animals since childhood, and I used to keep rabbits and small birds when I was young. A few years ago, I got my first cat, and I truly enjoy spending time with her. I also have experience taking care of dogs, as my roommate has two. I usually take the puppies for walks and give them baths. Time spent with pets is incredibly precious to me. I have a regular work schedule, usually finishing around 5 p.m., so I have plenty of free time to walk the dog or play with the cat. Every day, I spend time playing with my cat and pay close attention to the cleanliness of my house and the cat's mental state.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, and in my late twenties I started fostering cats. Two of my most recent — and happily “failed” — fosters became my two beautiful tuxedo cats. They’ve taught me so much about living with cats: respecting their boundaries, understanding their needs, and appreciating that every cat and dog has their own unique personality and preferences. My husband and I love animals, and we understand how difficult it can be to find someone who will care for your pets the way you do. That’s why we are committed to treating your pets like family, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, safe, and happy while they are with us. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having their space respected, we’ll provide the care and attention they need to feel at home. I'm a morning person so I wake up everyday at 6am. I can take care of your babies from early in the morning until 1pm. Wednesday and Thursday I can take care of them all day. I don't have a yard but if we are indoors they can be with me in my room. If you want me to take care of them at your home, you just let me know the rules and I will follow them so your pets are safe and have a great time.
About: My family was handed a neglected 1 year old Schnauzer-Westie mix and then a year later found a 7 month old chihuahua. I’ve been taking care of them for over 14 years (and other family dogs occasionally) and have really grown to love meeting new dogs and their personalities. I also still teach my senior (15 years old) dog new tricks and I’m ready to try them on your dogs (if that’s okay, of course). I’m currently working full time in a school, so I will only have real flexibility during the weekends for early morning walks. For summer time, I will be available after 3pm for Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday. On Wednesday and Fridays, I will be available after 1pm. Having a gated play area for pets to have a safe space to be disruptive (throwing their fits). If needed, I like to redirect dogs from any of their bad habits.
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.
“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!”
“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.”

Dongju is absolutely amazing! She is caring, patient, loving, and, most importantly, trustworthy. She took wonderful care of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind. I would recommend her to everyone I know without hesitation. If you're looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals, Dongju is the perfect choice!
Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Mylo! She was kind, patient, and took great care of him. She made sure to follow all of my instructions, kept me updated, and I could tell he was in great hands. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so caring was looking after him. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog walker. Thank you so much, Nicole!
William was excellent with our dog Coco. Coco was quite nervous and apprehensive at first but William knew exactly what to do to make Coco feel better. And coco really enjoyed his walks with William. We will definitely be asking William to walk Coco in the future.
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.

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.

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 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.
