About: I have had dogs for pets for over 30 years. I have been immersed in the everyday rhythm of dogs — raising my own with steady patience and learning the subtle cues that only decades of experience can teach. Along the way, he became the person friends and neighbors relied on whenever their dogs needed real attention, not just a quick walk. From energetic pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I bring seasoned instincts, calm leadership, and a reputation built on showing up, knowing what each dog needs, and treating every one of them like family. I work full time with rotating hours and days off. Even though I work full time I am very flexible.and can help with last minute notice. Even though I will not be taking care of dogs in my home, I can be trusted in your home to crate the dogs, let them out, or take them for a walk.

About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give to every pet in my care. I treat every animal like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or simply loves a cozy nap, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for it! I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has their own schedule and needs, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and rest. I give each pet plenty of one-on-one attention and make sure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family!

About: I have always LOVED dogs of all sizes & breeds. I used Rover back in 2018 for some time but unfortunately my life got too busy to give the dogs all the attention they need and deserve. As I have a lot of extra time right now, I have decided to return to Rover and I’m excited to make some new furry friends. Dogs seem to be naturally comfortable & relaxed with me, as I with them. During high school & college, I did a lot of dog sitting. I genuinely enjoyed the "work" (it was more fun than work) and bonded with each and every one of these dogs. I usually stayed at my clients' homes while they were away. Sometimes for just a weekend, other times up to 2 weeks or more. I have dog sat and walked for numerous types of breeds including Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, Kerry Blue Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Welsh Corgi, Shih Tzus, Mixed breeds, and many more! While most of my clients were healthy, I have also dog sat for dogs with medical issues that require medications (including injections and seizure, medications) and/or special needs. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and are a part of our families. I understand how stressful and upsetting it can be when you have to leave a loved-one home when you have to travel or even just leave for a few hours for work. It is very important to find someone you can trust that will love and care for your dog just as you do! I can guarantee, when with me, your loved-ones will be safe and treated with love and respect all dogs deserve. I enjoy getting "down and dirty" with "my dogs," whether it's playing with them on the living-room floor or at the beach, park, and/or backyard. Snuggling with them is always enjoyable and relaxing too. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring parks, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to work my schedule around each pet’s individual needs and routines, so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other routines their owners have established. I believe dogs thrive on consistency, especially when their families are away. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to make their time away from their owners as happy and stress-free as possible! I also like to send photos and texts updating the owners on how the dog(s) is doing and what we spent our time doing.

My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every visit. ! currently work and am a full-time student, but I have dedicated time throughout the week for pet care.

About: If you want your pet to have the pamper treatment, you’ve come to the right place! I am very responsible and caring and I’m quick to learn whatever makes your pet happiest. Whether it be belly rubs, baths, play time, or going outside I am willing and able to take care of your pet like they are my own! I am a project manager, so I am highly adaptable and very organized, but was recently let go due to budget cuts - currently job hunting so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I love caregiving and have tons of love to give! Will happily follow any feeding/walking/medicine schedule you need. I lived on my own for 7 years before moving back into my parents’ house to save up for my own. I am very responsible and capable of taking care of a home if housesitting is needed. I always follow whatever rules my client has for their pet; climbing on furniture, cleanliness, and food intake, etc. If sitting in the clients home - I will respect your space and am known to leave things in better condition than I found them.

About: I'm Back in Action! 🐾🐕‍🦺 After some time away, I'm excited to announce that I'm back and ready to care for your furry family members! I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant, military veteran, and aspiring Canine Obedience Trainer. I'm currently attending Animal Behavior College, where I'm furthering my education in canine obedience training, behavior, and handling. My ultimate goal is to use my training and experience to help train service dogs for my fellow veterans, giving back to those who have served our country. Dogs aren't just a job to me. They're my passion! I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While some sitters may hesitate when it comes to larger breeds, I especially enjoy working with big dogs! My veterinary background, hands-on experience, and continued education in canine obedience have given me the knowledge and confidence to work with dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also understand that some dogs may be nervous, timid, or uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, particularly men. Building trust takes patience, consistency, and an understanding of canine behavior. One of the most valuable skills I've developed is the ability to recognize and interpret a dog's body language, allowing me to adjust my approach and help even the most hesitant dogs feel safe and comfortable. I've owned and cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets. Every animal has its own personality, and I believe in providing individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety Is Always My Priority! 🐾 Your pet's safety and well-being will never be an afterthought. I take extra precautions to ensure gates are securely closed, yards are properly secured, and doors are carefully managed when entering or leaving your home. I know how quickly a curious four-legged escape artist can make a run for it! Dogs in my care will always be supervised during outdoor activities. I take my responsibility seriously because I understand that you're trusting me with a beloved member of your family. More Than Just a Pet Sitter ❤️ My background as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, combined with my ongoing education in canine obedience training, allows me to bring more than just a love of animals to the table. I bring experience, patience, an understanding of animal behavior, and a genuine commitment to providing dependable, compassionate care. My promise is simple: I'll treat your pets with the same love, attention, patience, and respect that I give my own. I'm excited to be back, meet some new furry friends, and reconnect with familiar faces. Whether your best friend is a gentle giant, an energetic puppy, or a shy rescue who needs a little extra patience, I look forward to earning their trust and yours! Because your pets deserve more than someone who simply watches them. They deserve someone who truly understands them. 🐾 I work around my full-time job. I don't do this for the money as i find working with animals isn't a job but more of a hobby. I care for dogs in my home by using constant supervision. My training is canine obedience has taught me how to read dogs and their body language which insures they're won't be any problems with other dogs while I'm boarding.

About: Hi! My name is Eleni, and I’m a 26-year-old veterinary assistant with a lifelong love for animals. Pets have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and growing up I helped raise and care for multiple dogs with my family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, including puppies, senior pets, and animals who may need medications or extra patience and comfort. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I promise to treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone calm and caring around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I’m currently available for pet care throughout the summer until September! Aside from one week at the end of July when I’ll be out of the country, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and Saturdays upon request. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. As a veterinary assistant, caring for animals is truly my passion. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, cleaning paws after walks, or simply giving extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone, and I strive to create a calm, loving, and safe environment for every animal in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs since i was five years old, I’ve always been an animal lover. I had three dogs growing up and have now just got my own after moving out on my own. I love being around dogs and helping create the happiest life for them. I know a big part of that is getting them out of the house for them to experience a happy adventurous life and not to be cooped up. I want to help create that life for as many animals/ dogs as I can when owners schedules can become to busy to always do that themselves. I work half remote and half in the office. I’m aware everyone has different schedules and would love to help whenever I can whether that be after or before work or on my lunch breaks. I am very patient and caring towards all dogs. I understand every dogs personality is different and can accommodate their needs based on whatever instructions or care they require.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Eatons Neck

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 13,743 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Eatons Neck. 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 Eatons Neck. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Eatons Neck after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Eatons Neck. On Rover:

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
