About: As a proud dog owner of two family dogs, I have hands on experience caring for pets every day. Taking care of them has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have also dog sat for family members and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely passionate about animals. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for last minute bookings, drop in visits, and walks whenever needed. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive plenty of exercise and attention, and have a clean living space. During walks and outdoor time, I prioritize safety by keeping dogs securely leashed and monitoring their surroundings. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing dependable and loving care for each pet.

I can handle it all. I am free all summer for pet care! There is a short stretch of time in August where i will be away, but other than that, I am excited to meet new pet friends :) I am well versed in crating dogs, as well as keeping an eye on mischievous animals. I will follow any instructions given very carefully and ensure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away.

About: Ive had dogs my entire life. From when i was 4 years old with my very first cockapoo (who lived to be 16 years). To now as a college graduate, with three dogs of my own. All who have different personalities and age ranges. I have a genuine love for dogs and love yours as my own. Two of my current dogs are seniors so im comfortable with handling your old man/lady.

I can come and visit your furry friend almost any time of the day. My own dogs are crated trained as well as i have a fenced backyard. So i feel comfortable putting ur dog in a crate if needed.

Ella provided top flight and very loving care for my 12 y/o diabetic miniature schnauzer. Ella goes above and beyond walking, feeding, and giving medicine, she gives hugs, kisses and companionship to my Dillon. On top of all that she checks his water, washes his food bowl and provides a detailed report of their time together. I would absolutely recommend Ella to care for your pet. You will have peace of mind that your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and take pride in providing attentive, active care. I’m certified in behavior analysis which comes in handy when reading what a dog needs in that moment and develop new skills. Being a foster dog mom to a beautiful pitty has also depend my experience with working with different personalities and needs. I love incorporating engaging and enriching activities for my pups to support development and mental stimulation. I’m currently working a full time job Monday through Friday 9 to 5 but, I am also available all day Saturday through Sunday. Monday through Friday I can be free to provide evening walks and potty breaks. On weekends I can provide walks, potty breaks and dog sitting. While I do not provide boarding at my home due to having limited space, I am available to do the dog sitting in your home. In my home with my current foster, it has been important with keeping her schedule consistent to help with her anxiety. This means that I play an important role with sticking to the schedule we have set. We also focus on redirecting her anxiety to preferred activities or toys like her bones or even letting her run it off in the back yard. She is very affectionate so I am also used to giving her lots of praise when she is doing things she is supposed to be doing and giving her lots of hugs when she cues for them.

We also have double gates for extra safety in the yard.

We also have a guest room that can be used if your pet gets overwhelmed or nervous and needs some alone or quiet time

About: I’ve had my dog for 14 years and I take care of family pets as needed. I bathe, feed, clean up after, and closely attend all animals under my care.

In the home, I will make sure the client’s pet is safe and fed. Any requests in terms of crate usage or restrictions will be closely followed.

About: Every dog deserves to feel like the main character of their day, not just the sidekick waiting for their human to get home. I keep a small number of weekday time slots open, so your dog gets the same dependable care each visit with plenty of updates so you know their story has a happy ending every time. I provide consistent, routine-based care for dogs who need walks and drop-ins during the workweek. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little anxious, or just thrives on structure, I make sure they’re exercised, cared for, and settled so their day flows smoothly. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and I’m comfortable following detailed routines, feeding schedules, and administering medications if needed. I’m a full-time author with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for consistent walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Weekday midday visits and after-work slots are my most popular, and I keep a few standing times open for repeat clients who need reliable coverage during the week. I’m also available for house sitting. If you’re looking for ongoing care, I’m happy to help you with a routine that works for you and your dog. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, I follow your routines closely including mealtimes, walks, medications, and any training rules you have in place. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious, high-energy, and routine-sensitive dogs. I’m comfortable with crates if needed and focus on keeping dogs calm, engaged, and secure in their familiar space. You’ll get regular updates so you always know how your dog’s day is going.

About: What I think truly sets me apart is my tailored approach to each dog's needs, ranging from feeding medicine, to early walks or even just lovey extra attention, I’m always here for it. I like combining enthusiastic play with disciplined training techniques. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup needing playbite training and endless games of fetch, or a cherished senior who thrives on gentle care, medication reminders, and comforting companionship, I really try to provide a safe, loving, and happy environment. My experience includes puppy socialization and specialized senior dog care, ensuring every dog in my charge receives the individual attention and expert care they deserve, making their time with me feel just like your home. At the moment now, I am unemployed so that gives me more then enough time (even every day) to help take care of your pup when you need it! With every pet is different, I like to converse with the owner about the character of the dog and habits as well as any other important health information that I should keep in mind before sitting, and if it is in your home, I’m very well mannered and have respect for not just the home but pups safety too

About: I’ve had many cats and dogs ever since I was a child. My mom is a volunteer at a local shelter and we have fostered several dogs in the past as well. I have helped care for our own pets and the fosters over the years and I love it! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins or walks any day of the week. Times are also flexible for walks and drop-ins. I care for pets by listening to the pet owner’s directions in what they would like me to do and how they would like me to care for their pet. I am very friendly and affectionate but can also be stern when need be. I am able to walk, feed and clean litter boxes.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiancé, Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. He is great with more high energy and active dogs, going on long walks, or runs and hikes with them. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: Hi my name is Jen. I am a huge animal lover. I’ve been a dog and cat owner most of my life. Ive also being the proud owner of ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and fish. I currently have 2 amazing kitties (2 and 3 yr old) my beloved yorkie passed away last year at the age of 15 from renal failure, she fought for over 2 yrs, my brave little girl. I’ve cared for dogs from 5lbs to 140lbs. I have a lot of patience with animals and treat them as my own. Children and pets are the precious family members who need TLC, which is why I spent most of my adult life in a career caring for both. It is so hard to trust someone to care for your pets while you are away, but be rest assured that you will feel comfortable and at ease with me. Your pet will be cared for as if they are my own. Please reach out if you ever need help w caring for your fur babies 💕 I am currently doing pet care daily, as this is my livelihood. I have some flexibility so pls reach out if you need me to care for your fur baby. I have a lot of experience and great references. Whatever u need pls know your pet is in safe hands. I’m extra cautious when it comes to caring for your fur baby. I make sure all gates are shut before letting them outside. I will let them out to make sure they do their business and play w them as well. If u need me to walk them I will leash them securely and make sure to not have any other dogs come too close unless told otherwise. Leaving your home, I am extremely careful making sure your pets do not slip out the door.

Bradley has been an absolutely fantastic dog walker. He is incredibly friendly, caring, and understanding, and it’s clear from the start that he genuinely loves working with animals. He consistently goes above and beyond during walks — even incorporating a bit of running, which my dog absolutely loves and benefits from. Bradley is also extremely responsive and communicative, which gives me great peace of mind. I always know my dog is in good hands with him. It’s rare to find someone who truly cares about the pets they look after, but Bradley definitely does. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog walker.

Heidi and her son have been an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care about animals. They’re responsible, kind, and incredibly reliable. My dog took to them immediately — and that’s saying something, since he can be a little picky with new people! I love how communicative they are — I always get updates and photos, and it’s so reassuring to know my pup is in such good hands. Heidi’s calm nature paired with her son’s enthusiasm makes the perfect team. They treat my dog like family, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog walkers!

FAQs for Dog Walking - East Farmingdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in East Farmingdale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 25,417 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across East Farmingdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Farmingdale. 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 Farmingdale.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 Farmingdale. 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

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.
