I love both dogs and cats, and I’m looking forward to meeting your pet(s). I’m currently working part time, so I will be able to make morning and evening visits.

About: Over the years I have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a bunny, and fish. I love animals and people! I'm in school to be a special education preschool teacher Full time I have mostly full availability. I go to school online asynchronously. I work part time at a pottery studio and have a lot of free time I will not care for animals in my home unless they are small animals because I have two cats and the other animals would have to be in a cage such as a guinea pig
About: I have always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I helped walk dogs, bathe them, clean their spaces, and provide daily care. I also have experience pet sitting and caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I am patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they are my own. I love giving animals attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and helping them feel happy and comfortable. I can provide reliable care, attention, exercise, and companionship while working around my weekly schedule. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. I follow owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets receive patience, attention, and loving care while they are with me.
About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats. I spent a lot of time with relatives who had more “exotic” pets ranging from degus to a Mali Uromastyx lizard not to mention the short-tailed opossum and various other small mammals. All this has contributed to making me an animal lover totally comfortable around them all! While still in high school I had the privilege of volunteering at a local wildlife refuge where I was responsible for the care of a wide variety of animals ranging from squirrels to owls and even foxes! During college I spent a summer working at a doggie day care center where I was responsible for both walking the dogs and supervising indoor play time. More recently I have been dog sitting both at my home as well as house sitting for families with pets and am eagerly looking forward to expanding this aspect of my work using this Rover app. Since I am currently taking online courses, I am very flexible and available. I have plenty of time to devote to your beloved pets and would be happy to help you with boarding, walks and house sitting any day of the week. I have a friendly and very mellow dog happy to share his space. Our roomy and comfortable home is located in a safe, dog friendly and quiet neighborhood with ample sidewalks inviting us for our next long walk!
“Jenny is amazing! She’s attentive and super understanding. She has great experience with all types of dogs and handles my 7 month old pit wonderfully. She is persistent with the training methods that I am working on with my dog while on his walks and inside my home. She follows all instructions and gives updates on how my pup is behaving with texts, pictures, and videos! Thank You Jenny!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Hempstead is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $20 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 27,111 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hempstead. 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 Hempstead. 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 Hempstead 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 Hempstead. 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 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.
