“Nicole was amazing with Mylo! He can be hesitant to go on walks, but she was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind with him. She took the time to make him feel comfortable instead of rushing him, and it really showed how much she cares about the dogs she works with. I really appreciated her patience and the way she handled him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was with someone who understood his needs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker! Amazing person!”
“I was so happy to meet you today. Thank you for your time to meet Jazzy. You are a wonderful person. Jazzy likes you very much. If I ever need you, I'd love to have you. With appreciation, Yuka”
“Austin is very good. He seems to intuitively understand my dog and she went with him almost instantly. He knows how to make a dog comfortable. He's trustworthy as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 3, especially exotic animals like reptiles and avians. I’m a volunteer at ASPCA shelter now. Although I’ve never had dogs and cats myself, I had some experience of baby sitting them for my friends. I’m a freelancer now, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule everyday. Feel free to contact me even if it’s the same day work. I’ll make sure I crack the door open a little bit first and always keep the door closed when I clean cat litter or anything to make sure my client’s pet won’t sneak out
About: I’ve had cats since I was 10. I adopted my current cat Snap Pea over 3 years ago, a 5 year old dilute calico FIV+. I’ve frequently volunteered at the cat shelter/adoption center, and I’ve taken care of many friends’ cats and dogs while they were away. I’d love to care for your fur baby too! I work full time during the week, so I can do drop by visits or walks for cats/small dogs before 9am and after 5pm. I’m based in the Astoria, Queens neighborhood. I scoop the litter box 1x per day. I play and cuddle with my cat. I also always take plenty of photos for whoever I cat sit for so their owners know they’re having a fun time! I can also walk small to medium sized dogs.
“Lillybeth is AMAZING!!!! She was so wonderful about keeping me updated and sending me the cutest pics of my Malakai. She came before I booked her to learn about the habits and personalities of my min pin and I SO appreciated her taking the time out of her day to come and do this!! Malakai clearly loved her and warmed up so quickly. She is wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 35 years. Family, friends, and neighbors have always turned to me to walk and feed their fur babies. I am a stay at home wife and mother to two adult children, so I will be available at any time for your convenience to walk and play with your fur baby. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I had an 11-year-old Pomeranian that has just passed away on June 13, 2026. I will care for your pet with the same love and attention I gave my own. During walks, I’ll prioritize safety, exercise, and making sure your dog has a fun, positive experience.
About: I have been walking dogs since I was 10 and caring for family and neighbors' pets ever since. Pets bring joy to the family and deserve love. I work as a client based photographer.

My dog is trained off leash and will spend hours play fetch with her. With your pet I will tailor to thier needs and abilities. Offering basic walking training with treats and positive reinforcement.

About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Brittany, was so accommodating with a last minute request, She always goes above and beyond when taking care of Lola and provides great communication and updates on her!”
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
“Sharon is the best at what she does. No one looks after my pup the way she does! Always very communicative and sends the best pics — appreciate the detailed reports. Thank you as always!!!”
About: I have been raising dogs since I was 15, including breeds such as Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, and Shih Tzus. I also assisted in the birth of 11 Beagle puppies. I love them like they are members of my family, and my friend trusts me to take care of his Pug as well. I currently work from home, so I am available to take care of your family members every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. My apartment is pet-friendly. If you have a cat or a small dog, l'm happy and very welcome your family members to stay overnight here.

James is great and extensive about communication, from the start he makes sure you're very comfortable with every step of the boarding process. I want to board my dog for halloween while I'm out of town with my husband and he initiated a walk with my dog so they could meet each other. He even brought a treat over for him and took pictures on their walk. I'm very much at ease now knowing my dog will be with a good caretaker while I'm away, I highly recommend booking with James. :)
Angel has been so wonderful and patient with our dog, Leo, who is very guarded and doesn’t take to new people very well. Angel spent a couple weeks letting our dog get comfortable with him and trying different approaches to get him on leash and outside, and now they’re walking great together! Highly recommend !
Angie was amazing!! She communicated with me clearly and is super articulate. It’s difficult for me to trust because I am a nervous dog Mom, but Angie put my mind at ease. She’s sweet and super caring with my pup. She also scheduled a meet and greet to go over everything I require for walking my pup. So happy I found someone relatable .
Dory has been so patient and sweet with Louie, especially while he’s still learning and getting comfortable. She’s also been flexible with our schedule and communicates very well, keeping us updated during their walks. It’s clear she genuinely cares about him, and we feel so lucky to have someone we can trust with our pup! 🐾❤️
Senica is fantastic. She has been taking care of our dog Bentley for a few months now and has been very responsible, careful but most of all a great companion for Bentley. He can be difficult at times because of his breed (Beagle) but Senica makes every effort to hear out our suggestions, instructions and is very caring and adapted so quickly to him and his needs. Not to mention she does a great job of keeping him active, happy and always taking him to the best locations! She goes well above and beyond anything we could have asked for in a walker/sitter.
I had such a great experience with Angela while I was away! Communication was always easy and consistent, and I felt very comfortable knowing Max was in good hands. What made me feel even better was seeing how quickly Max got comfortable with her. Every time he saw her, he would wag his tail and get so excited, which gave me so much peace of mind because I could tell he was happy and felt safe with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk their dog. I would absolutely use her again anytime I need someone to take care of Max. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Jackson Heights on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 28,631 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jackson Heights. 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 Jackson Heights. 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 Jackson Heights.

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 Jackson Heights. 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.
