Such a delight to work with. She’s an effective and quick communicator. Super accommodating to your needs and needs of your pet. Alicia was flexible and made both of our schedules work. My dog, Fiona, took a liking to her immediately. Fiona could sense that Alicia is a good person and someone she can trust. Alicia was gentle with Fiona, so I could easily feel safe with her in Alicia’s care. I am currently injured with limited mobility, so Aleicia was also attentive to my needs and helped me out in the best way she could. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because I have been so worried about providing Fiona with a regular walk schedule and proper exercise and she took a lot of weight off my shoulders. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Alicia!!! She went above and beyond for myself and my fur baby to provide an incredible and easy experience. She will be the only reason that I will continue to use Rover in the future.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have real hands on experience with animals of different ages, from young energetic dogs to seniors who need a slower, more attentive pace. I'm comfortable reading dog behavior and adjusting how I interact based on what each individual animal needs. Beyond experience, I genuinely enjoy it. This isn't a side job I'm indifferent to. I'm a nutrition science student which means I'm detail oriented and take health and wellness seriously, for people and animals. I notice things, I communicate well, and I show up the same way every time. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I'm genuinely a dog person, not just someone who works with animals. This summer I'm based in Harlem full-time, so I'm available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the day. I keep a consistent schedule and I'm flexible with timing; mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work. Dogs get my full attention, not a rushed visit. I treat every home I'm in with real respect. I keep things tidy, stick to the routines the owner sets, and make sure pets feel settled and safe rather than anxious. I'm experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments, and I pay attention to their individual cues rather than applying a one size fits all approach. If something comes up like behavior, health, or anything unexpected, I communicate right away. Owners shouldn't have to wonder how their pet is doing.

About: I have open availability 🥰❤️ I’m a crazy animal lover. I’ve been loving animals since the day I was born, and since I can’t own any pets of my own. I decided it would be best to work with animals and I definitely love it because I get a chance to treat them as if they are my own. :) -experience, skills, qualifications- Worked at Sean Casey Animal Rescue for a year. It was the best time of my life. I learned so much. I had to deal with every animal you could think of, from dogs to cats, reptiles, hamsters, birds, and bunnies. However, I spent the majority of my time taking care of dogs, and cats. Walking dogs, training them basic commands, and grooming. I have skills set in basic training, oral medication I learned over the 10 years, so I've got you covered in that area! My biggest thing for my clients is that they trust me, meet and greets are for free, so please take advantage of that! I want to have a relationship with you, I want to trust you, I want you, family (family including fur babies) to trust me. Not only that, if you ever need someone to walk, drop-in, or house sit even if it's for 3 days, I want you to know that I'm here. If there's no trust, there's no happy client. My goal is to make my clients happy. I have open availability :) as long as I do not have any gigs or anything of the sort, my availability is pretty open. Thank you :) I’m extremely vigilant when it comes to my care. I think that’s due to my trauma mixed in with my anxiety and depression (don’t mind me just making fun of myself 🤪) but, I also communicate everything when it comes to your pets! :)

Anne is so amazing with our dog. He has a lot of annxiety and she was so patient and loving with him. She also takes great pictures on the walk, which we appreciate so much, and writes a thorough report card. She’s very communicative and gave both our dog and us the best care. We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!

We love Hannah! She is so kind and patient with our dog. We have a larger (60lbs) dog who has reactive tendencies. Hannah is incredible with her and very knowledgeable about reactive dogs in general. Our girl is obsessed with Hannah. She gets so excited every time she comes and is always in a good mood after. I’d recommend her to anyone.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets for my roommates and friends over the years and have loved it so much! I'm patient with pets of all ages, young and old, and I can follow any specific instructions your lil bestie may need. Can also have give meds or help out with supply restock/cleaning as needed. I'm very flexible from January until July 2026 to drop by or host as needed as I am not going to be in many classes during that time period. I have space in my living room area to host any pets, and I have some outdoor shared spaces in my building in case your pet needs some air but doesn't want to go far. I also live nearby a park that has a dog run portion and can take them easily as needed.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Harlem dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Harlem.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
