“Steven and Jennifer had great communication they were responsive and attentive to any questions or advice I may have given them. They were efficient and timely. I would absolutely trust them with my Simba again”
“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”
“Simply Amazing! Responsible with my home keys, he was careful with my senior dog and she just loved him. Followed all instructions for feedings and walks, plus he kept us updated every day. Highly recommended and will definitely hire again! =-)”
About: Me and Mel are newlyweds hoping to care for local animals. We telework full time, own no pets, and are both in the tech industry. We’re new to the area, but not to pet care. Combined, we’ve grown up with 4 dogs, 2 bunnies, a gerbil, and a cockatiel. We’re excited to meet you and the member/s of your family! Me and Mel both telework and can both be available to ensure your best friend is cared for. We don’t own a pet. We customize our hours at our primary jobs and have a car. We have commitments on Wednesdays and Sundays. We are open to coming to your location! We have a 600 sq ft apartment 3 blocks from a dog park and 2 from a Petco. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area. We have no children or pets. There are other pets in the apartment building.
About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”
“My Bonny took to her right away, and my anxious girl can sometimes be selective. Avary did so well with my velcro dog (doesn't like to leave mama) and took her on a great walk! Will def be booking again!”
About: I have a great deal of expertise caring for dogs and cats. My family had a dog and a cat. I used to look after my friends' dogs when I was in college. Hence, this position is perfect for me. Even though I attend school full-time, I have plenty of free time to properly care for the pets in my care. In addition, I'm free most weekends because I study a lot. Depending on our schedules, I can be very flexible with pet arrangements and am a highly attentive pet sitter. I am a very organized and neat individual.
“My Hero, Tedy is so reliable and attentive to my dogs needs. She has been walking my dog for weeks and I only have the most positive things to say about her professionalism, and loving nature. She is punctual and I get to see videos of my dog’s reactions to her visits which are so heartwarming because my dog loves her. Tedy will be an asset to anyone who is looking for support caring for our little family members.”
About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.
About: I've taken care of my 9 year old Pekingese Jax since he was a puppy! He's my Taurus bestie! Now I have the joy of raising my 6 month old Goldendoodle Sevyn! Routine and fun is KEY! I currently work part time so I have plenty availability to care for and have fun with your fur baby! Schedule times for feeding and peepee poopoo time! At my home I have a large patio where your pet can eat, chill and lounge and people watch! However you parent your pet at home will be the rules I follow!
“Alyssa was a fantastic dog walker and last minute addition to Tucker’s schedule! Reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I loved all of the pictures and she gave my pup extra love and care! Highly recommend!”
“Westcoast had a wonderful walk with Dayana! He was nervous since it was his first time walking with someone other than me but Dayana was very soothing, calming and gentle with him! He did great! Looking forward to many more :)”
“Peggy was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous about leaving our Prince, but I knew we were in great hands the first time we all met. From her walk-by-walk update, videos and pics of their FANTASTIC jaunts to even helping my Mom, who was staying with Prince while we traveled, Peggy went above and beyond making sure we were as OK being away from him as he was. She not only became our go-to for Prince’s care, she’s truly became part of our family!”

Heidi was wonderful with my dog, Rocco! This was his first time walking with her, and she made me feel very comfortable. She kept me updated, sent several photos during the walk. Rocco was excited to see her and seemed happy and relaxed with her. She is kind, professional, and clearly cares about the dogs she walks. I will definitely book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
Hillary is amazing! I accidentally gave the wrong address because I just moved and didn’t realize I hadn’t updated my profile, and she was so understanding and went to the second location anyway. I am so grateful! She was very communicative before and during, and I’m so thankful she was able to help me with my pup !
We are thrilled to be back with Ashley walking our dog Cagney after a two month break this winter. She is so kind and loving, patient and above all professional. She has also done a bit of training with him. Cagney gets so excited when the buzzer rings and runs to greet her. Definitely an asset to Rover!
Mayely is incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated !! She was very communicative with me and it was clear through her words and actions how much she cared for my dog. She was patient with him, walked at his pace, and was eager for him to “use all the facilities”. Will be booking again!!
We are so grateful we found Naoka. Our dogs love her! We are so appreciative for the peace of mind she provides by being communicative about our pups when we are away. She goes above and beyond for our pups and is an absolute joy to work with. Her love for dogs and humans really shines in the level of care she provides and we highly recommend her.
Xavier was amazing!! He has a really gentle kind energy that made my anxious dog feel safe, and was able to exercise with him and walk a large breed. He even found a new dog park for us to go to nearby! Highly recommend for a local reliable and flexible walker - my dog loved him so we will definitely be booking again soon :) Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Howard Beach on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 27,912 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Howard Beach. 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 Howard Beach. 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 Howard Beach.
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 Howard Beach. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
