About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and currently have one pup that I take care of at home! I’ve worked with many different dogs of ages, breed and size! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, play dates, visits or whatever else you may need! I’m responsible and will respect you and your pets home. Gaining your animals trust is the most important to me to keep them safe and happy.

About: As a graduate student pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy, I am responsible, attentive, and highly dependable. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing extra patience and support for a senior pet, or making sure anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. I am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I have been around dogs my whole life especially Rotties and Labs!:) Being a graduate student, my schedule is very consistent and predictable. I will be working M/W: 12pm- 8pm T/TH: 7am- 3pm Friday: 10am - 6pm If I’m not at work I’m with your pup! I will usually have a break throughout the day that allows me to come home or stop by for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check ins as needed. My parents are also home so your pup will never be left alone for more than a couple minutes! Someone is usually always home. On weekends I am always around which allows me to spend the morning, afternoon and evening providing attentive care, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and maintain their normal routine. At my home, pets have access to a fully fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. I provide regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet's individual needs. I live very close to my campus which gives me access to get home as quickly as 2 minutes for just incase purposes

“We needed someone to let out and walk Molly, our 35 lb lab mix, while we were away for a weekend. Molly's a bit nervous and didn't do well when we left her at a dog kennel previously. Felicia made us feel comfortable right away, and Molly was smitten too. I would highly recommend Felicia to anyone looking for a special someone to take care of their pets.”

About: Hello! My name is Riley, I’m 25 years old, and I have lived and cared for animals for 18+ years. I had a golden retriever who has passed, and I have two cats Charlie and Nyla, whom I adore and love to play/take care of! I have experience walking small and big dogs and hyperactive furry friends. Growing up, I would walk my neighbor's dogs multiple times a week and spend time at their houses while they were on vacation. I can also work with other types of animals as well if need be! I am flexible. I’m currently a barista, so I have a flexible work schedule! Most of the time I’d like a couple of days in advance notice, however if it’s last minute, please feel free to contact me about dropping in! Weekends available as well. When my family dog was still alive, we would feed her early in the am and let her out. We'd feed her again mid-day and once more at night. We would walk her once a day and play with her outside for a chunk of time. As for my cats, we would feed them wet food morning and night and some dry food mid-day. Litter box cleaning would occur a couple of times a week and playtime, was basically all the time!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong commitment to providing dogs with patient, loving, and reliable care. As a teenager I work for a dog breeder, walking and taking care of his dogs. I spent 14½ wonderful years raising, training, and caring for my Australian Shepherd. Through the Staten Island Training Club, I learned positive training techniques that helped me build a strong bond with him and taught me how to understand canine behavior. I know that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My experience also allows me to recognize changes in a dog's behavior and respond calmly and appropriately. In addition to caring for my own dog, I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I've worked with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This has strengthened my ability to make dogs feel comfortable, earn their trust, and provide safe, compassionate care. When your dog is with me, they'll be treated like family—with patience, respect, and plenty of attention. Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine. I'm available for afternoon and evening dog walks. I also offer boarding for short stays of two to three nights, making it a great option if you're away for a long weekend. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or simply keeping your dog company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, happy, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind.

About: I'm Back in Action! 🐾🐕‍🦺 After some time away, I'm excited to announce that I'm back and ready to care for your furry family members! I'm a Certified Veterinary Assistant, military veteran, and aspiring Canine Obedience Trainer. I'm currently attending Animal Behavior College, where I'm furthering my education in canine obedience training, behavior, and handling. My ultimate goal is to use my training and experience to help train service dogs for my fellow veterans, giving back to those who have served our country. Dogs aren't just a job to me. They're my passion! I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. While some sitters may hesitate when it comes to larger breeds, I especially enjoy working with big dogs! My veterinary background, hands-on experience, and continued education in canine obedience have given me the knowledge and confidence to work with dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also understand that some dogs may be nervous, timid, or uncomfortable around unfamiliar people, particularly men. Building trust takes patience, consistency, and an understanding of canine behavior. One of the most valuable skills I've developed is the ability to recognize and interpret a dog's body language, allowing me to adjust my approach and help even the most hesitant dogs feel safe and comfortable. I've owned and cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets. Every animal has its own personality, and I believe in providing individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Safety Is Always My Priority! 🐾 Your pet's safety and well-being will never be an afterthought. I take extra precautions to ensure gates are securely closed, yards are properly secured, and doors are carefully managed when entering or leaving your home. I know how quickly a curious four-legged escape artist can make a run for it! Dogs in my care will always be supervised during outdoor activities. I take my responsibility seriously because I understand that you're trusting me with a beloved member of your family. More Than Just a Pet Sitter ❤️ My background as a Certified Veterinary Assistant, combined with my ongoing education in canine obedience training, allows me to bring more than just a love of animals to the table. I bring experience, patience, an understanding of animal behavior, and a genuine commitment to providing dependable, compassionate care. My promise is simple: I'll treat your pets with the same love, attention, patience, and respect that I give my own. I'm excited to be back, meet some new furry friends, and reconnect with familiar faces. Whether your best friend is a gentle giant, an energetic puppy, or a shy rescue who needs a little extra patience, I look forward to earning their trust and yours! Because your pets deserve more than someone who simply watches them. They deserve someone who truly understands them. 🐾 I work around my full-time job. I don't do this for the money as i find working with animals isn't a job but more of a hobby. I care for dogs in my home by using constant supervision. My training is canine obedience has taught me how to read dogs and their body language which insures they're won't be any problems with other dogs while I'm boarding.

We loved having Andrea help us with our furry friend. We needed her for a daily walk for one month. She was responsive, courteous, professional, and sent an amazing update each day. She was very clear in her communication and would notify us when she arrived and when she left each day. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone who would be considering a daily walker.

There are no words! A complete and total angel sent from heaven. I was caught where I had to be at a family event and my dog was in need of extra TLC. I couldn’t have received any better care for my little one! Everything was handled PERFECTLY and with such love, care and dedication. Answered every question instantly and did EVERYTHING possible to comfort both of us. Above and beyond and exactly what every animal should have when their parents need some help.

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 Islip. 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 , 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 Islip 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 , 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 .

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
