“Meryn is a great and reliable walker to our dog, who took to Meryn so quickly. We’re grateful to have Meryn helping us with walkings during the week. Super responsive and a great walker!”
“Michelle was amazing with our energetic girl! She was always on time and gave good reports of wall activity. Can tell she really cares for dogs and appreciate her enthusiasm with a very excited dog!”
About: I have experience with furry friends of all ages, and love dog walking especially. I am passionate about animals and want to help you take care of your family. I am currently on summer break from college and would love to spend some time side questing with your pups! I am available all afternoons and weekends. I will provide a nurturing space for your pups in my neighborhood if needed, but I am also available to travel to you and help within your area!
“Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!”
About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs through extended stays (1–2 weeks) in clients’ homes, handling feeding, walking, bathing, and daily routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a dog owner of an 11-month-old puppy, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and keeping a consistent routine. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m able to provide frequent attention and potty breaks. I’m back home for summer break, so availability shouldn’t be an issue. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a clean environment. I also provide lots of attention, playtime, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Marc is great! He was very attentive to my instructions about the dogs needs/personalities when they first met. He is reliable and caring and we are relieved to have found him for our pups!”
“Annamaria saved us with a last minute walk for our girl when we weren't able to take her ourselves. She was so sweet with our dog and took her on a great walk. We are so grateful we found Annamaria and will 100% be working with her again! :)”
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have always had cats and grew up with a dog, and I have adopted formerly feral cats as well as orphaned kittens and puppies, and I have fostered special needs animals. I lived on a small farm starting from the age of 5, so I have experience with various types of animals and love them all. I have taken care of puppies and kittens as well as older pets. I've always been told that I'm great with animals and wanted to go into animal care from a young age. I started my own petsitting business in 2023 and have loved getting to know so many different animals. I recently moved to New York and am excited to get know even more pets here! I have plenty of time during the day to spend time with your animals and give them all the care they need. I have open availability most days. I always want my clients to have peace of mind while they're away and treat all pets like they're my own. I'm always careful to follow instructions on how to best care for the pets, and my priority is always to keep them safe and happy. I don't board animals in my home, since I have a formerly feral cat who is easily scared.
About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
About: I have my own golden retriever that I care for and have lived and cared for a golden doodle while in college for 3 years. I make sure dogs are well taken care of on walks and have enough enrichment time. I am currently available full time to walk dogs/do drop in services. I am also available for last minute requests such as walking or drop in services. I have a very friendly golden retriever that can accompany your dog on walks or for play dates during drop in visits only if requested. If not requested than I will walk your dog alone and come for drop in visits alone.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Then I got my first cat in 2016 and have been taking care of her for 10 years. I play and walk my dog daily and play with my cat to enhance her life and health. I currently work from home as a streamer who makes her own schedule! Willing and able to work with any possible schedule changes that arises. I live in a gated community where they don't allow fencing, but I have a sizable backyard for dogs to enjoy and a safe community to walk in. I keep my cat indoors where she has stimulating toys and a thriving environment.
“This was my first time booking Melissa and it couldn’t have gone any better! Melissa was an excellent walker for Mocha. She was very communicative and kept me updated on their walks. She took wonderful care of Mocha and even helped with other tasks in the house, as well! I would definitely recommend Melissa and would rebook with her too :)”
About: I love all animals and treasure every opportunity I get to care for them. I am very dependable and hold their needs highly dedicating my self to keeping pets happy and secure. I am mostly open to walking and sitting pets in the early morning, afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. I'm also flexible on the weekends for onboarding and overnights. I am always on call so the owner feels secure. I make sure that pets have the right space for their needs and feel comfortable. Lastly, I make sure to always have the pets under my watch and that they are just as happy and healthy as they came if not more.
About: 8 Years of experience training my own large breed dog from puppyhood to senior. 2 Years professional dog handling and walking experience including but not limited to: mixed breeds, large and XL breeds, fearful dogs, dog-aggressive and/or high prey drive, heavy pullers, reactive dogs and more. What I offer- individualized approach to each dog I exercise, walk, and train as well as a engaging and collaborative approach to obedience training and exercise plans, and as I continue my education in the field of pet care, I am studying to become certified in dog training and nutrition. Currently, I am available to book dog walks, training sessions, and dog "outings" to aid in socialization and training of your canine family member. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available for several walks a day, of varying length and training sessions during/in addition to regular walks. I am also available to book an outing, where I would safely harness and safety belt your pet in my car to drive to different areas such as parks or beaches for hikes and longer walks etc. I am willing to travel for training sessions, have access to an owned and safe vehicle for transporting myself and your companion animal. I have experience in a variety of leashing methods, often preferring slip lead in addition to clip on either a flat or martingale collar or a well fitting harness for smaller breeds. I will assist with finding a collar or harness and sizing it appropriately for the comfort and safety and security of your dog.

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 Herricks. 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 Herricks.

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 Herricks. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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.
