“Marcela did an amazing job!! She was so communicative and responsive, and took great photos and videos of the walk. I can tell my dog got comfortable with her very quickly, and that she was able to read his communication and body language very quickly as well.”
“Yanxi is so kind, caring, always punctual, and my baby boy loves her. He gets excited every time he hears her at the door, and I love having someone so reliable taking care of my fur baby. His happiness is enough for me, but it’s also just such a great help and relief to know he gets the walks he deserves when I’ve got too much going on. I highly recommend her and we are grateful to be in her continuous care.”
“Austin, thank you so much for being so reliable and for always helping us out (especially in a pinch!). You take such great care of Kenobi, which is why he's always SO excited to see you!”
About: I’ve had cats since I was about 10 years old and I’ve had two dogs in my life, one is now 7 years old and my 3rd dog in my life. Im making a career change in my life and have a lot more time on my hands now so my schedule is as flexible as it can be! My 2 cats might be upset if I care for other pets in my home but I am very responsible and respectful when it comes to caring for furbabies and their humans homes.
About: From childhood to today, caring for dogs has been part of my life. Real experience, real responsibility, and genuine love for every pet I look after. I’m available Monday through Friday from 6 am to 3pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays all day. Flexible, reliable, and ready to care for your pets always. 🐾 I provide care in clients’ homes, ensuring a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, prioritize trust, and treat every pet with respect.
About: Growing up in a household with multiple dogs, cats, turtles and the occasional chickens and turkeys, teaches you that every single animal is different, with unique personalities and needs; understanding that makes all the difference when you take care of them. I have a full time job, so I am available for early mornings and evening and night drop-ins. The weekends are free and my only concern those days is making sure I also keep my own cat's schedule. My lovely tabby is a task master, so we have a very solid routine for feeding, litter cleaning and play. This include morning and evening littler cleaning, marking sure his water fountain is running smoothly and cleaned once a week, rotating toys during play time so he doesn't lose interest, and set meal times
About: Being a caretaker and guardian for children & animals since I was 15 years old, allows a balance from nurture, knowledge to play that makes those I look after, feel loved. Additionally, I completed a two-year veterinary assistant certification program and held continuous care for small and large animals on a daily basis. I studied breeds and behavioral components of each, including appropriate ways to approach visible moods in dogs and cats. I also assisted our in-house Veterinarian with administering medication and procedures. Personally, I’ve loved animals all my life and started out by babysitting a few of my neighbors children and pets, and kept my elderly neighbor company and checked in on her since her son lived far and I noticed she was alone most times. I always believed animals are like small children who could never grow up to speak and advocate for themselves, which is why they need just a little more attention, awareness, understanding and anticipation of their needs. Quality of life and joy is supplemented by play, as similar to children, the more joy and engagement for their minds and activity is crucial to their life longevity and overall health. I’m currently only attending school at the moment, (Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings) otherwise have more availability and flexibility than most. I find joy in playtime with both animals and children and feel it is crucial to their comfort and happiness, especially while their parents are away. I make sure to regularly review the instructions, prioritizing any medication they may have, as well as strict time frames their parents prefer any form of activities, such as going outside or bedtime. Other than that, it is my culture and belief since I was young, being a Girl Scout at a young age and navigating, those beliefs as an adult still: taking the upmost care of the space and things around you, this means often times leaving places better than I find it. I care for things as if they are my own as well as loved ones, as if they were my own family members (because that’s how I would want mine to be treated as well)
About: As a remote worker, my schedule is very flexible! I grew up with 2 cats at home and 2 dogs at my brother's house! I've been taking care of them for over a decade, and recently started taking care of other dogs here on Rover. I have volunteered at several animal shelters across the city such as KittyKind, ASPCA, and Animal Care Centers. As a graduate student in Miami, I took care of cats and dogs for classmates, colleagues, and professors! This experience, in addition to growing up with both cats and dogs, has taught me the value and importance of their lives and what they do for ours. Trusting someone to take care of your pet is not easy (trust me, I know), but as long as you allow me 1% of your trust, I will work my hardest to gain the other 99%! As a full-time remote worker, my schedule is very flexible! I’m generally available for morning/afternoon bookings during the typical workday. I can also be available for overnight stays as needed. For drop-in visits or house sitting, I prefer to meet owners and their pups in person before confirming a booking. I treat all pets as if they were my own; with compassion, admiration, and respect! I will ensure your pet is always happy to see me, whether its for a drop in visit, walk, or anything in between!
About: Hi there! I've been house/pet sitting for over 8 years. I have hands-on experience treating diabetes and Addison's disease, including giving insulin or other required shots. I'd love to reassure you in taking care of your pets/house the best I can. I make it a point to keep you updated everyday on how your pet is doing! Before pet sitting, I'd love to meet your pet before hand with you in attendance so both your pet and I are comfortable! I work from home so I am available throughout the day to care for your animal! I should be in town most weekends, if not traveling for work. I have a small apartment so prefer to care for your pet in your home! If agreed upon, I'd love to take your pet to their preferred park or walking area. If animal is unable to socialize/leave the house, I'd love to give them something special while caring for your animal. Whether that be a special treat or toy, whatever you'd like!
About: Growing up in tiny Rhode Island I had all kinds of pets from horses and bunnies all the way to to dogs and cats. Spending a lot of time in barns and surrounded by animals from a young age i have learned to think on my feet and adapt to many situations. I value reliability, professionalism, and above all safety. I love all animals and am willing to work with a variety of pet personalities. I am a photographer and a recent graduate from the School of Visual Arts. An avid hiker and cyclist i am always on the move exploring nature and the city. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work a remote job 9-5 at an advertising agency and have the flexibility to work from anywhere. On the weekends I am 100% free and love the opportunity to help out with your furry companion. At my own home I own 2 bunnies Toulouse and Adelaide they are cage free and have their own room. I also am a new found lizard mom because of a tiny Anole who hitch hiked in a a plant of mine from home depot.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have always enjoyed caring for them. Growing up, I would often take care of my extended family’s dogs and even watch friends’ dogs for some extra cash. More recently, I’ve also helped friends in the area by dog and cat sitting when they needed someone they could trust. Since I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, I decided to give pet care a try locally. I recently moved to Astoria, and one of the things I love most about the neighborhood is seeing so many people out walking and enjoying time with their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule gives me flexibility during the week, and I’m excited to make pet care a regular part of my routine while getting to know the pets and people in my new neighborhood. I currently live in a 1bd apartment in Astoria and don’t have a pet of my own. I’m mainly looking to offer dog walking and drop-in visits, where I can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. For drop in visits, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, refreshing their water, giving them attention and playtime, and taking them outside for a bathroom break if needed. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets a safe and enjoyable walk.
About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having cared for my own dog for the past five years. During this time, I have successfully trained my dog to follow commands, showcasing my ability to teach and manage canine behavior. Additionally, I have developed a strong understanding of their needs, ensuring they receive the best care and attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home, allowing me to spend the entire day with dogs. This flexibility ensures that I can provide constant attention, supervision, and care, catering to their needs throughout the day. Whether it's regular feeding, playtime, walks, or simply being there to provide companionship, I am always available to ensure the dogs are happy and well-cared for. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I ensure that all areas are pet-proofed, removing any hazards and providing space for them to play and relax. I maintain a clean and organized space, with designated areas for feeding, sleeping, and exercise.
About: I have worked as a volunteer in animal shelters before. I worked with Rover as a pet sitter and dog walker for two years. After a hiatus, I am back with Rover again (went overseas for school). I am excited to care for pets again! I assure you that your dog or cat will receive love and care from me,incomparable to the one received from you.I will be a very good companion and will miss them when they are not with me.Hope that you will contact me because I am a keen animal lover and have outbursting optimism that everything will work out very smoothly.I can also bathe your pet and groom them.I can guarantee that they will feel at home with me and become used to me very quickly. Thank you very much for reading. I am a college student. I am available after 12 PM Mondays, before 12 PM Tuesdays and Thursdays, and all time Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I will ensure that the highest level of care is provided to your pet. I am a responsible care giver and I am well aware how much your pets mean to you.
About: Growing up, my home was a revolving door for all types of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, bunnies, everything!). I've handled animals both young and old so I'm fairly confident with any aged pets. I am eager to love and care for your furry family members while also reinforcing boundaries and discipline as needed and desired by you! I'm also an approved dog foster by a local agency so I'm up to date with safe animal handling. I’m in grad school so I’m almost always home working away at my desk. Most days I can do morning visits/walks and some in afternoon as well! I can crate your dogs when they are left alone (if desired) and have a pet camera for added security. I will never leave your pet for an unreasonable amount of time nor for any time longer than what you've communicated.
“Ana is a am amazing dog walker! She is great with communication, reliability, thoughtfulness, and care. My dog really felt comfortable with her and looked forward to their walks ♥️”
About: Hi there! I’am Kostas, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience in pet care. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends providing them with love, attention, and cuddles. I work part-time, with a schedule that changes weekly, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and nights. When I’m working, my girlfriend, who also loves and cares for animals, helps take care of your pet to ensure they always receive attention and care. Feel free to reach out, and we can find a time that works best for your pet’s needs! Before each visit, I review the pets information including the routines, diet and any medical conditions. I feed the pets according the owners instructions and ensure they have access to fresh water

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson Heights
Where do I start. Coming on this app I was very nervous as I’m sure all of us are with our babies but Deshaun made the whole process easier. From taking his time to come meet Jack with me on our walk before committing, to even taking him on long walks and being so kind. I’m very happy with him and so glad and excited to keep working with him! Thank you so much.
I have had a great experience with Melissa! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, accepting the job just one day before I needed my dog walked. My dog absolutely loved the pack walk since he is highly social and used to attending daycare. He came home happy, content, and nice and tired—making for a peaceful, relaxing evening. I truly appreciate her flexibility, excellent care, and willingness to help on short notice. I have already booked her for future walks😊 Highly recommend!
I was scared to go and leave my fur baby. Jose was excellent his patience and communication skills are top notch. He keep me informed of everything he did with Nyla and he also sent plenty of photos.. I will definitely be using Jose to watch Nyla in the future. I wish I could rate him 10 stars. He deserves it.
Shirley is AMAZING! She’s so sweet and really attentive to the dogs needs and unique quirks. I’ve never used Rover or any dog walkers because I’ve been hesitant but she eased my anxiety and was communicative, timely, and reassuring. I highly recommend her and would rebook for when I’m off on my next trip! 🫶🏽
This is the 2nd time Mayleth has walked Mochi. She’s so patient and communicative with me by updating me with pictures and keeping Mochi safe even if she gets bursts of energy not knowing her strength as a big puppy herself. But I am confident she will never let Mochi out of her sight and protected from harm. Thank you!!

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 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 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.

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.

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.
