About: Hi, my name is Allyse. I have been doing Rover since November 2024. I love this job because I learn about other people’s dogs/cats and their breeds. I love helping people and their animals. I'm an animal lover with a passion for caring for pets. I've been around cats and dogs throughout my life and enjoy spending time with them. I'm excited to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to pet-sitting. When you're away, I promise to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm committed to building trust and ensuring your pets' happiness. I'm a college student studying Animal Health & Behavior with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. With my flexible job driving for DoorDash, Instacart and Amazon Flex, I can choose when I work. This means I'm available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. As a pet sitter, I promise to create a safe and cozy environment for your furry friend. I'll keep a calm and patient attitude to put pets at ease, follow their feeding and watering schedule, spend quality time playing and giving attention, help with training if needed, and make sure the home is pet-proofed. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I'll work with you to understand their specific requirements and provide personalized care. As a Rover sitter, I'm dedicated to delivering exceptional care and ensuring your pet's happiness.
About: Good with all kinds of dogs! Love to play with any dog and cuddle all types of fur babies! Good with ones with a lot of energy! Currently in college but make my own schedule! Can be open to anything!! Have breaks during my days to come over and check-in with your fur babies! I have a big fenced in yard to run around in, also have a little dog to give some company and play with! Can create whenever, but also has free range of the house
“Cristine did an amazing job taking care of Lex while I was away. She arrived on time, sent pictures, mapped his walks and texted them to me--all of which reassured me that Lex was being well cared for. I will definitely be booking her again in the future, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you Cristine!”

About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a former veterinary technician, I’m comfortable with everything from giving medications to caring for senior pets and puppies who need extra attention. I know how to spot signs of stress, discomfort, or illness early, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, training reinforcement, or simply making sure your furry friend feels safe and loved, I go the extra mile to keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily routine — it’s second nature to me! I work full-time, but my evenings (after 5pm), Tuesdays, and weekends are dedicated to spending quality time with pets. At home, I share my life with two sweet cats of my own, so there’s never a day that doesn’t involve a little extra love, play, or purring. I also volunteer regularly at my local cat sanctuary, so even when I’m not with Rover pets, I’m surrounded by whiskers, paws, and wagging tails. Pet care isn’t just something I do — it’s truly who I am. I specialize in caring for pets right where they’re most comfortable — in their home! This means your pets get to stick to their normal routine, sleep in their favorite spots, and enjoy all the comforts they’re used to. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or walks, or staying overnight to keep your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My focus is on giving them the kind of attention and care they’d get if you were home yourself.
About: I’ve taken care of family members fur babies as well as my neighbors dogs for years. I’ve always connected with the animals no matter the size! I also have delt with big and small breeds. I am currently doing online school for my masters in healthcare administration! I live in a development and looking to help others out with their pets when needed. I care for pets by taking them outside to play, or for a walk. I enjoy sitting with them as well and showing them extra love to make their day special!

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for 10 years now. I’ve taken care of dogs as young as 6 months and as old as 10 years. I’ve watched pets for both friends and family along with caring for my own! I love animals very much I work full time in behavioral health and recruitment and retention. I am available Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays all day long as those are my days off from my full time job. I’m very trust worthy and kind. If you need someone to play with your cat or dog, feed them, or take them for a walk I’m here! Your house are your rules and I assure your home and pets will be treated with the upmost respect and care! I’ll treat your pets and home the same way I’d want someone to treat my cat and home! Your fur babies will be in the best care 💓

About: Hi! My name is Bree, and I am a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to help care for your pets while you're away. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I have owned dogs for as long as I can remember. Currently, our family shares our home with a dog, a cat, and a flock of chickens, so I am comfortable caring for a variety of animals and understand the importance of providing reliable, attentive care. My husband and I live in Zionsville with our three children, and we stay actively involved in our community. I work at our local middle school during the school year and have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer extensively with my children's activities. I serve as the treasurer for my daughter's club soccer team, help my husband run our youth lacrosse program, and enjoy participating with my son in Boy Scouts. Whether your pet needs a drop-in visit, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, or a walk, I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am on summer break from our local middle school where I work during the school year. I am available Monday thru Fridays, morning/afternoon/evenings, and occasionally on weekends. I am available for daily drop-in visits and check-ins to feed, walk, play with, and give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet needs a potty break, exercise, playtime, fresh water and food, or simply a friendly visit while you're away, I am happy to help.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 7 years now, as well as taking care of my own. I watch family, friends, and neighbors dogs. I walk and play with them and give my dog baths. I am a college student so this is a perfect job for me! I have a lot of free time during the weekends and during the week I have a hour lunch break everyday and get done class at 2-2:30 most days, this is a perfect job for me. I am very observant and will keep the pets occupied. I can feed and crate them if necessary and make sure they get enough exercise during the time that I am with them.
About: Hi! My name is Katie and I have been a professional dog-walker, pet-nanny, & house-sitter for the past 9 years. My goal is to provide the most excellent pet-care and house-sitting experience for all my families✨ I work primarily around the Trexlertown/greater Lehigh Valley area. A little about me: I am a local visual artist with my BFA from Kutztown University and my MA from Queen's University Belfast. I am currently a studio artist with Artsquest located in Bethlehem, PA. I split my time between my 2 passions: art and pets. ♥️ At home, my sister and I share the responsibility of our 14 year-old rescue Papillon, Wembley.♥️🐾 My time with Wembley has completely raised my standards for the care that I provide and expect.♥️ Caring for a senior dog with several medications has given me a love for routine and an on-going sense of urgency around timing and planning.✅ Wembley is my entire world. ♥️ My goal as your pet-sitter is to provide the level of care I would expect for Wembley. 🙏 I am experienced with specialized animal care and strict schedule requirements. The pets that I’ve watched (including my own) have had: 🐾 restricted dietary needs 🐾designated feeding windows 🐾scheduled medications 🐾 blindness & disability 🐾as-needed emergency medication precautions Please let me know your pets history and local Vet upon meeting! I am currently available for day time dog-walking, dog-sitting, and house-sitting. Beginning in August I am accepting new daily clients. 🌄😊 Please reach out with any questions, I would love to schedule a meet and greet and hear more about what you are looking for. I look forward to meeting you and your loved one! 🐾♥️ Beginning August 2026: I am accepting new daily clients for check-ins and walks throughout the week. Weekend availability is open for overnight house-sitting and check-ins / please let me know in advance so I can reserve that weekend for you! I love playing with dogs like I’m one of them 🐾 chew toys, tug-a-war, squeeky toys, etc. 😊 I love long walks, and I will try to take them out as frequently as possible🌄 I also love talking to animals when Im just doing things around the house. (I probably look crazy) I think this helps keep them stimulated if we are just at home. Cats seem to love my hair ☺️🐾 & I also love drawing pet portraits!

About: 4 years of experience + 2 happy pups of my own! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family and love making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m currently going to school and working my part time job when I can. I am pretty flexible during the week and available throughout the weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and a cozy, safe space to relax. I have half an acre for pups to run around as well as a walking path across the street. I also have the best yellow lab girl. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I make sure they feel loved and cared for.
“I’m very happy with Ja’s service! I have a Pitbull and a rather large German Shepherd. While the Pibble is a sweetheart the Shepherd can be a bit of a handful at times. She has a very calming demeanor and has great control over them both. She gave them extra pets and even sat in the sun with them on the balcony for a bit. She even brought in my meal delivery and put everything in the fridge for me. Will certainly book again! Especially next time I leave town! Thank you Ja!”

About: As the above headline would suggest, I aim to be much more than a service provider for your pets needs. Yes, I do love animals and am a dog dad myself but my heart is to be a humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and make myself available to help with any practical and/or personal matters of life you may have currently. I’m not a religious fanatic and won’t impose my faith on you in any way, shape or form but feel free to ask questions about it! I have pretty wide open availability mostly but I am currently a dialysis patient and receive treatments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7am to around 11/11:30am. Tuesday evenings I’m usually busy from 6pm to 8/8:30pm. Wednesday evenings busy from 5pm to 8pm. The rest of my days and evenings are open except for Sundays from 9am to 3pm but then available Sunday evenings. Unfortunately, I’m unable to bring pets into my current residence but I obviously abide by the client’s expectations and instructions when coming to their home. As long as directions are clear and legible, I’ll follow them precisely. I am available for house-sitting, if deemed necessary as well.
About: Any size animal I can take of if any rules you want to be followed let me know or any training requirements let me know My dream is to own shelter one day I want to take in any animal that need my help. Let my dream come true . My dog gets out to potty every 2 hours and all my animals get feed 3 times a day and my dog gets walked everyday
“Kat is the best! She’s prompt, professional, and you can tell she really loves the animals she works with. Ruby was thrilled to have you back for a few weeks! Thank you so much!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,079 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Harlem. 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 Harlem. 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 Harlem 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 Harlem. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
