“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.”
“I highly recommend Sharon. She is reliable, punctual and my dog is always so excited to see her. Every walk includes a detailed account and many pictures. She loves animals and I always have piece of mind knowing my dog is safe and well cared for.”
“Merlin loved spending time with Christopher this week! Christopher took Merlin on some very healthy, long walks even with the weather being very hot right now and sent us great updates with photos. When they got back from walks, Christopher made sure Merlin was hydrated and happy. Christopher was easy to work with and a great communicator and we will definitely work with Christopher again.”
“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.”
“Tedy is the absolute best fur baby companion Our fur baby loves her and is always happy to greet Tedy She is absolutely a happy soul and so positive all the time !!!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using a dog walker, and it was a great experience! Ana was friendly, reliable, and made me feel very comfortable. My dog instantly liked them and came back happy and relaxed. I appreciate the updates and will definitely book again!”
“Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
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: Hi My name is Joseph or KJ to my friends! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs and cats which taught me how to understand different pets personalities, needs, and routines. Whether it's feeding, bathing, grooming, exercising, or simply giving them attention and affection, I take pride in making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My experience has given me both the skills and compassion needed to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I work freelance as a photographer, meaning I make my own schedule. I have the freedom to fit pet-sitting in at any given moment! My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each animal's personality and boundaries so they can feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pets with respect, keeping the space clean and providing regular updates and photos. Safety is my top priority, so I pay close attention during walks, outdoor time, and interactions with other people or animals. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets can receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Please note: When it comes to cats, I always treat cats as STRICTLY indoor cats. If your cat is an outdoor cat, I will not be letting them out during my stay.
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.
“Jayly was great. Very communicative and took good care of our dog for his walk. Jayly also followed instructions for the dog’s particular feeding needs. We’ll definitely contact him again.”
About: I have six years of experience caring for family and friends’ dogs, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, with a maximum of two dogs at a time. Taking care of pets fits really well into my routine. During the weekdays I am available after 8 am and Saturdays after 9 am. Please note that I am unavailable most Sundays, but I accommodate if given notice in advance. I provide care exclusively at the client's home, ensuring their pets stay in a comfortable and familiar environment. To ensure a high level of care, I follow feeding times, medication schedules, and any special care requirements closely. I make sure pets get plenty of time to exercise, play, and stay mentally stimulated. I also like to keep the owner regularly updated throughout the day by sending photos and messages.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Jackson Heights is $24
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
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! ❤️
Stop scrolling and just book Shamira already. Her communication is lightning-fast, she’s impeccably punctual, and the photo updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was out. Most importantly, my dog took to her immediately and always returned home happy, relaxed, and perfectly content. Finding someone this reliable, respectful, and naturally skilled with dogs in the city is rare. Shamira is the real deal, book her before her schedule fills up!
Cat was amazing with my 70 lb. dog, Buddy. She was very professional, reliable, and had a calming influence on both my dog and cat, so much so that my dog danced around when he knew she was coming. She took him for several 30 minute walks a day and he always came back happy. I would absolutely hire her again.

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.

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.
