“Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.”
“Victor is great with Zuse! He is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a wonderful way with dogs. Zuse always seems happy and well-cared for after their time together. If you are looking for a walker who is professional and genuinely cares about your pup, I highly recommend Victor!”
“We had a last-minute situation where I was traveling, Lola's Dad was working, and our sitter had to cancel. Elizabeth jumped in to cover. Elizabeth was so helpful, communicative, and did exactly what Lola needed, walks and attention : ) Thank you so much for helping! Hope we Lola can see you again!”
“Liliana was awesome with our yorkie, Champy. She walked him and sent lots of great pictures. She was even able to give meds. I would certainly reach out in the future for dog walking and boarding needs.”
About: I have a lot of experience as a dog sitter. I also have experience in dog training, handling, and walking as I’ve done it as a full time job for months. I spent a lot of that time in the dog daycare, often handling 25+ dogs at a time. I spent the rest of the time walking all kinds of dogs around Manhattan. I’ve also had a dog since I was about 7 and I cared for her into her old age when she began having health problems, all the way up until she passed away. Because I work remotely from home, your furry family member will rarely (if ever) be left alone. I love having canine company around while I work, which means plenty of companionship, snuggles, and personalized attention for your pet all day long. My large one-bedroom apartment is perfect for a dog. The building is located just a two minute walk from the beautiful Fort Tryon Park. One thing to keep in mind is that I live in a 5th floor walkup, so if your dog is too big to be carried and has limited mobility, boarding with me may not be the best fit. If I am taking care of your dog in your home, I am always extremely respectful of the environment, treating it as if it was my own home. Also, it’s common for your pet to have separation anxiety in those types of situations, so I make it a priority to have your dog feeling like they are safe and secure. For dog walking, I have a lot of professional experience with very strong dogs, untrained dogs, etc. in Manhattan and other places as well.
“Lee was awesome! I requested his services to walk and feed my dog while I was an away on a trip, and it was a great experience. Lee was very communicative, punctual, reliable, and all around great with my doggo. I would definitely recommend his services to any dog owners that needs someone good and trustworthy to care for them.”
“Nicole has been taking Zeppo for walks for about a month now and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s caring and reliable and you could tell how much she loves dogs. I know Zeppo really likes her too!”
“Thank you Shelly for helping us out on short notice when we needed some backup help because of work travel. :) Our pup was in high spirits when we returned home and Shelly was punctual and communicative the whole time!”
About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. I’ve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. I’m very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do! I’m sensitive and receptive to each animal’s unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
“Essence is so wonderful with my dog Winnie. she goes above and beyond with a smile and a sense of humor. I’m very fortunate that she agreed to walk my pup, who isn’t the easiest to walk. Highly recommend Essence!”
About: My experience caring for animals comes mainly from taking care of my own cat, with whom I have learned to truly understand animals’ body language and needs. I am used to paying attention to his nutrition, hydration, hygiene, behavior, energy level, and overall well-being, and I understand that every animal has a different personality and different needs. For example, mine gets stressed around strangers, which is why I understand that you have to be very patient when it comes to cats. There are all kinds: affectionate, little troublemakers, ones who ignore you and then come looking for you when they want to be fed 😂, ones who get angry, and others who are more sensitive, etc. I am very observant and caring; I like to earn their trust while respecting their space and paying attention to any small changes in their behavior. I also have experience with their basic care, such as deworming, proper nutrition, hygiene, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. To me, caring for an animal means treating them with the same love, patience, and responsibility that I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so pet care can easily fit into my daily routine. I can dedicate enough time to feeding, playing, walking, and giving each pet the attention and care they need. I would care for the pet as if they were my own, carefully following the owner’s instructions and routine. I’d provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks, comfort, and plenty of affection while keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.

“Philsung has been amazing! I really appreciated how I got a full report after each walk letting me know what happened. 10/10 would highly recommend. I will definitely be using Philsung again when my regular walker is away.”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with 8 years of professional experience caring for dogs! From dog sitting and walks to providing attentive, everyday care, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I genuinely love animals and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, attention, and a safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Building trust is very important to me—not only with the pets I care for, but with their owners as well. I’m committed to keeping you updated, respecting your instructions, and giving your furry family member the best care possible. I’m excited to continue growing meaningful relationships with pets and their families through Rover! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I’m able to dedicate my schedule to providing attentive, reliable care, whether that means walks, drop-ins, sitting, or spending quality time with a pet. I’m flexible and enjoy working around each pet’s individual routine and needs. Caring for animals is more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly love and take pride in. I care for every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any other routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands.
About: I'm back to rover this summer after having taken a break with work and being a student. A little bit about me: I grew up with a dog and he was a part of my life until I was an adolescent and understand how much care goes into having a dog. I started my own dog walking business in the Fall of 2020 and worked for multiple dog walking companies after that. I have also lived with cats and love them a lot too. I would love to help out with your dog or cat as I understand how much care is necessary for your furry loved ones. I’m currently getting my Masters in Social Work and live in Washington Heights but have lots of availability this summer! I'm free full-time for the summer to help out with your dog's needs, whatever they may be. Please reach out if you think I may be a good fit! I want to keep the environment for your dogs as safe and fun as possible. I will follow whatever is best for your dog or cat (you know them best!)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Inwood
We had a great experience with Ellie! She took great care with Riley, who can be a quirky dog. She was well cared for, and very communicative about timing and details about the walk. Ellie is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves dogs. We’ll definitely be booking again.
Charlie was great with my pups. We had a meet & greet a couple days beforehand and Charlie took my high-energy girl in stride alongside my chill older boy. She was communicative and on time and both pups were happy and well cared for. Would definitely work with Charlie again!
Rebecca was great, she took my last minute booking. She was very patient with my 14 year old schnauzer, Snowy. He has bathroom accidents and she was kind enough to clean up after him in the kitchen. I would definitely use her again in the future and I recommend her.
Renso has been wonderful with Leah. He’s gentle and patient with her, which means a lot because she’s been grieving the loss of her person. He communicates clearly and often, so even though I don’t live nearby, I always know how the walk went. He texts when he arrives instead of ringing the bell, which keeps Leah calm. He’s been very accommodating when we’ve changed the schedule, and he’s easy to work with. We’re so grateful for him. Highly recommend!
It is so hard to find a reliable, dependable, trustworthy person that will come into your home when you are not there and care for your furry baby. Shelly is that person. She is kind, loving, flexible and truly cares for animals. Shelly, thank you for the love you give to Cavi and the dedication you have to this profesion.
Hana was amazing with ocean. First dog walker where he goes willingly without any convincing on the first try ! Which is a great sign since ocean is generally a shy and nervous dog when he doesn’t know someone at first. Hana was also very punctual and accommodating and amazing with ocean . Will definitely Book her again for ocean 🌊 💙 look no further and book Hana !!
Jessica was really great with our foster dog Jimmy! She came the day before the first scheduled walk to get to know Jimmy and took the time to practice the steps of how to get him in and out of his crate. She showed a lot of patience and love for all of us - which was much appreciated as Jimmy is my first foster and my first attempt at crate training. When we first got Jimmy, he had a cast on his leg. Jessica was fine with carrying him up/down steps and she also followed the medical restrictions for his walk. Jessica communicated with me everyday on how Jimmy did during his walk and how he behaved going in/out of the crate. She also sent me adorable photos of Jimmy.
Drew is fantastic! He’s so responsive. I just started a new job and my schedule has been wacky. Drew’s been incredibly patient and flexible in scheduling walking with my pup, Duke. It’s been a huge relief to have someone trustworthy taking care of midday walks when I’m out of the house.
Selina is so amazing that I was tempted not to write a review to keep her a secret! She has been so kind and affirming for us as we started using a walker/sitter for the first time since rescuing our pup. She is incredibly patient and thoughtful and clearly cares a lot about animals and understands their behavior and how to manage them. I would recommend her to anyone!!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Inwood is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 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.

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 Inwood. 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 Inwood 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 Inwood. 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.
