About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my dog for 12 years now who I trained myself and have been the primary care taker for. I’ve also had years of experience taking care of other people’s pets around the neighborhood and also for friends. I’ve had experiencing ranging from one day care to two weeks of care whether it be letting the dog out while the owners are away for the day or visiting a dog multiple times a day for two weeks to feed, walk, and give her love while her owners were on vacation. I currently work from home so i’m able to visit a pet before work and after work and am also able to stop in during the day as long as you’re not too far away from me! I can adapt to what your dog is used to and try to operate in your home the same way that you would by keeping the dog on the same schedule that they’re used to, walking them in a familiar area or letting them out in your yard.

“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: Hicksville/SOB Rd.& OCR... Home FULL TIME, Dogs are in a low stress enviroment. There is a bedroom on the main floor just for dogs who need not climb the stairs, and I will sleep with them too! My yard is fully fenced in a nice neighborhood for walks if requested. I do require a meet and greet prior to sitting your dog to make sure we are a match. Please bring your vet papers of vaccination. I'm home FT Drop off times-flexible Pick up times-Before 1:00 pm, after 1pm you will be charged an additional $25.00 for Boarding. My husband will stay with your dog if I have any errands to run. I will be with your pet as much as possible playing Fetch, Belly Rubs, Snuggling, or just looking out the window watching other doggies walk by or talking to the mailman! I know most of the dogs in my neighborhood from walking my son Mickey. Mickey is super friendly, and cuddly Puggle. He is 10 years old and unfortunately he has limited eye site. He shares, and loves doggies to visit. The reason I do this: I would love 2 dogs, but my husband says there's not enough room on our bed. So having sleep overs fills my need for a 2nd dog. Depending on the time of year along with the weather my husband will walk your dog With Mickey if requested. Bedtime is always on the first floor with me in our guest room,they can snuggle in bed with Mickey and I or curl up in a dog bed in the room. Snacks are given if you allow just bring your own. We have an in ground pool and will personally supervise your dog when the pool is open. If your pet swims, bring their swim vest! Again I do require all vaccines be up to date, and that you have a flea and tick preventive in use of your choice. Please bring that information during our Meet and Greet along with any needs for your fur baby and any questions you may have. Meet and Greet is in my home to assure we are a match allowing us to get acquainted for you to see our surroundings. They are free and can take 15-45 minutes. We will meet according to both our schedules. You can go away on your vacations, or quick day trips knowing your dog is in a happy loving environment. Bring what your dog needs to feel at home, leash, food, their bed/blanket (we have extra beds and dog dishes), favorite toy, or snacks. My house is small but our hearts are big❤️, we have room to make all our pets feel like they are home! I don't like to take more then 3 dogs at a time for sleep overs. That's just enough for me and my husband to stay cozy with your pet and mine. One at a time is preferred. I also administer medication both oral and injected for those needing.

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.

About: Hi I’m Abby! I’m so excited to take care of any animals, big or small! I actually have a little experience with dog training through school, as well as taking care of my own pups! I have taken care of cats and dogs basically my whole life, and as a college student I miss my animals a ton! I would love to take care of any animals as needed!

I would be free early in the morning before 9:00am, in the afternoon my schedule will vary but I am generally available anytime from 12:00-5:00, in the evening anytime after 8:00. Since I am in college my schedule will always change depending on what you are needing! Since I am in college I am unable to board any dogs at the moment, but i am able to care for your dogs in any way needed. This would include stop in visits, going on daily walks, or even over night stays. Whatever service is needed I will be able to accommodate with whatever needs you have.

About: Hi I’m Debbie, I’m a lifelong Dog lover and a mom to Sophie my 7 year old Havanese. I know how important it is to know that your dog is safe, comfortable and care for when you’re not there. Every dog is different whether they like to have a stroll or a brisk walk I’ll follow your dog’s routine. Cats need attention too. I will stop in and make sure your kitty has everything it needs. Fresh water and food a clean litter box and playtime. You will also get a picture of your furry friend. They are not just pets they’re part of your family. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, drop-in visit feedings and giving your pet the attention needed when you’re not available. I enjoy making pet care part of my week by helping busy pet parents feel confident that their pets are being cared for. When caring for pets in their home it best to keep them on their routine. Follow the instructions given to me. Provide the attention and affection your pet needs while you’re away. Treat your home with respect. I will keep you updated with photos while you’re away.

About: I currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital as a doctor assistant so I can be well trusted with your pets. I’m reliable and pay close attention to details. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life so caring for them has become second nature to me! I currently work full time, however I only work Sunday until 4pm and then Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am more than happy to take care of your pets before and after work, as well as on my days off I would care for your pets as if they are my own. I’ve grown up with animals my entire life so I’ve become accustomed to taking care of them. My pet care just becomes part of my routine. Your animals are cared for as if they’re my own so I will treat them the way I’d want someone to treat my pets I care for pets exactly how an owner asks of me. If you want me to sleep in the bed with your dog/cat I will do that. I like full transparency and there is no such thing as a crazy request!

I reached out to Abigail super last minute as I had to take a last minute trip and she didn’t hesitate to help. She walked Nala three days straight, followed all instructions, and kept me updated the whole time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nala was in such caring hands while I was away in Florida. I will absolutely book again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Farmingdale is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 25,748 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across 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 Farmingdale. 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 , 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 Farmingdale 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmingdale. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
