“Casey is a fantastic dog walker! She was great in the meet and greet and asked questions that revealed experience and attention to detail. My dog doesn’t like super long walks, and so Casey spent the time playing with him, which he loved.”

I value their connection and companionship :) I have full flexibility with pet care hours at this time. I am available Monday- Sunday starting at 9am.

“Angela is an absolute angel. Rubee adores her. She was very responsive, and kept us up to date with Rubee and even shared pictures of her running on the beach. She also anticipated the rain the evening before her first walk and asked that we leave a towel so that she could dry her after her walk ❤️ Rubee cant wait for her next walk with Angela. We highly recommend her”
“Kenny has been a true asset to the caring of our puppy Margie. We work in the city and needed someone to come by and walk her during the day. Kenny came for a meet and greet and Margie immediately warmed up to Kenny. He cares for Margie like she is his own and it is greatly appreciated!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! Constantly surrounded by animals since a child I have great experience with walking, feeding, playing, etc. ! I am a person who cares so deeply for animals and want nothing but the best for your furry little friend! I currently work full time, but am home by 4 on the weekdays and mostly free on the weekends! Starting the 26th, I am off for summer vacation so my schedule will become very flexible and I can tend to more needs! I am very good with pets and offer a trusting personality for them. I am well equipped to handle many situations including safety, crating, and will not let them out of my sight!
About: There have always been animals in my house, and I truly like them more than people! I have watched/walked many animals over the years. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, so I have lots of experience As a teacher, I have an incredibly flexible schedule during the summer months and am completely free throughout the day for drop ins and walks! I also dedicate regular time to volunteering at the animal shelter, meaning animal care is already a seamless, rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every home visit centers entirely on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable in their own familiar environment. For cats, a standard visit includes scooping the litter box, refreshing their water bowl, and feeding fresh food exactly according to your instructions. Beyond the basics, I dedicate the rest of the visit to active engagement. If your cat is playful, I will break out the laser pointers and wand toys. If they are shy or anxious, I utilize my shelter socialization skills… giving them plenty of quiet space, reading their body language, and simply sitting nearby so they feel secure. I also respect your home by keeping pet areas clean and double-checking that all doors and locks are completely secure before I leave. You will always receive detailed updates and plenty of phot

Karla did an amazing job walking my dog, Jr. She brought along her dog, Woody, and the two dogs had a fantastic time together. It was clear that Karla is caring, attentive, and great with dogs. Jr came home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed after a fun and engaging walk. I really appreciated the extra socialization and companionship Woody provided. I highly recommend Karla to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog walker!
Janelle is the best sitter we have ever worked with. Our cat and dog are so important to us, and trusting them with Janelle is such a relief. Reliable, kind, trustworthy. We rebook Janelle whenever needed, and feel so lucky to have such a warm presence watching over our pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Island Park on Rover is $27.75 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 26,479 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Island Park. 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 Island Park. 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 Island Park.

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 Island Park. 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.
