About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a sweet Lab and a black cat I rescued after finding her in a box as a stray, she’s now happy, healthy, and thriving. For the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, helping families feel at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s a high energy dog, a shy rescue, or a senior pet with special needs, I’m calm, confident, and patient. I treat every pet like my own with love, safety, and a lot of attention. You can count on me to keep your pets happy and cared for like family. I’m currently focused full time on pet care, so I’m very flexible for drop in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I’m available on weekdays any time and most weekends. I’ll make sure your pets are loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and safe. I follow all routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m respectful of your space, reliable with instructions, and always make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and not alone while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 4 and I’ve always been connected to them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats 7 years ago. I love all animals and give them consistent attention and affection when I am caring for them. I also take care to follow any instructions given and needs the animal may have. I am a fabulosa communicator and always send daily check ins! I also have several references I can share along with the reviews here. I make my own schedule and work around 8 hours per week so I am open for animals who need a lot of attention and care and flexible with last minute needs. I care for pets in my clients homes (or mine) according to their needs and specifications. I also treat pets like family so animals with anxiety or higher needs do very well with me.

About: Dog owner of ten years looking to fill spare time with more puppy love. My current dog and I went through a professional training program to learn basic behavioral skills I can pass on to other dogs in my care. I’m currently unemployed giving me the ability to serve clients during the workday when needs are higher. Also available on nights and weekends to provide services. My full time job currently is caring for my dog. We spend about 2-3 hours per day on walks or playing at the dog park! While caring for pets in a clients home I will follow any guidelines laid out as some dogs need to be put in a crate or left specific food in order to fulfill the needs requested. If a dog is not so friendly or shy, I’d be willing to do a meet up ahead of time to develop a relationship.

About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, gentle, and very attentive, so your pet always feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially great with puppies and senior pet .I understand that young pets need consistency and positive reinforcement, while older pets need extra patience, calm energy, and care. I follow routines closely and pay attention to the little details that matter most. I also have a strong medical background, which helps me confidently care for pets with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring appetite, energy levels, and behavior changes, and recognizing when something feels “off.” This makes me especially well-suited for senior pets, pets recovering from illness or procedures, or those with ongoing medical needs.

About: As a pet care provider with one year of experience, I have gained a solid understanding of what it takes to keep furry friends healthy and happy. In my previous role, I provided daily care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playing, administering medications, and providing companionship. I have a deep love for animals, and I always make sure to treat each pet with the care and attention they deserve. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know each one individually to provide personalized care. I am comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I prioritize their safety at all times. I also have experience working with pet owners to ensure that their pets receive the care they need and that their expectations are met. In addition to my pet care skills, I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I understand that pet owners put a great deal of trust in their pet care providers, and I take this responsibility seriously. With my experience and passion for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional pet care services. I am currently working full time but I have work from home days on Friday, as well as, free time after work and on weekends. As a pet care provider who takes care of pets at their owners' homes, I understand how important it is to provide high-quality and personalized care to each pet. Here's how I typically care for people's pets at their homes: Initial Consultation: Before starting the pet care services, I schedule an initial consultation with the pet owner to understand the pet's routine, habits, and preferences. I ask questions to get a better understanding of their pet's personality, likes, dislikes, and health status to provide tailored care. Feeding and Watering: I follow the pet owner's feeding and watering instructions and ensure that their pets have fresh water and food at all times. If the pet has any specific dietary needs or restrictions, I make sure to adhere to them. Exercise and Playtime: I provide exercise and playtime as per the pet owner's instructions. I take the pets for walks or play with them in the yard, depending on the pet's needs and preferences. I also ensure that the pets get enough physical activity and stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. Medication: If the pet requires medication, I make sure to follow the instructions provided by the pet owner. I administer the medication at the prescribed times and monitor the pet's condition to ensure that they are responding well to the medication. Clean-up and Maintenance: I clean up any messes that the pet may have made, such as spills, accidents, or litter boxes. I also make sure to keep the pet's area clean and tidy and dispose of any waste appropriately. Communication: Throughout the pet care services, I keep the pet owner informed about their pet's well-being and provide updates regularly. I also communicate with the pet owner to let them know if any issues arise. In summary, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously and provide personalized care to each pet at their home. My goal is to make sure that the pets are happy, healthy, and safe in their own environment.

About: With 13 years of experience caring for my pup Lilo, who requires special attention due to a severe heart condition, I understand the needs of older dogs and dogs on special medication or diets. I've also taken care of several other breeds including Golden Doodles, Huskies, American Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Frenchies and more. My expertise extends to handling reactivity, managing hyperactive pups, and positively reinforcing or correcting behaviors to ensure a happy, balanced dog. I'm here to provide the same level of care and love to your dogs that I do my own :) Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I currently make my own schedule so I can schedule my time around your pet's needs, whether it’s walking, feeding, or simply enjoying quality time with them. Weekly, I dedicate time for grooming, playtime, and reinforcing a commitment to their happiness and health. At home, I provide a secure and loving environment for Lilo, with a fenced yard and pool for safe play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their rules and routines, ensuring that their pets feel comfortable and secure. I adapt to their specific needs, maintaining a safe environment while providing the same level of attention and care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Fisher Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Fisher Island on Rover is $21.4 per walk (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 6,666 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Fisher Island. 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 Fisher Island. 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 Fisher Island.

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 Fisher Island. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
