“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”
“Christine is fantastic! I needed someone to walk my dog Buddy at the last minute. Christine was able come over for a meet and great right away and book our walk. She definitely helped me out in a pinch and was wonderful!”
About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.
About: Reliable, responsible will care for your dog like it is my own. Will follow all instructions to the letter. Comfortable with sick and older dogs. As a nurse, I have very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate last minute requests and scheduling demands to accommodate your changing schedule. Willing to work out what is needed for your dog. I believe that your dog is your dog so I will follow all instructions. I will only give the food that is allowed. Watching your dog in your home provides the least disruption to your dog while you are away.I love all dogs and will care for your dog like it is my own.
“Claire was great! I have booked Claire for repeat visits, and she is always timely and responsive. My dog isn't the most motivated walker, but she gets him out and about getting his workout.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and my experience goes beyond being a pet owner. I’ve fostered dogs and cats of all ages, from newborn puppies and kittens without a mother to senior animals needing extra care and attention. I’ve helped nurse animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes, and I’ve volunteered at animal shelters walking and caring for dogs. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals at every stage of life, including those who need extra patience, specialized attention, or a little extra love. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that pets are family! My schedule is flexible, with a preference for Monday through Friday during daytime hours. I also have occasional weekend availability and am happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I’m committed to providing reliable, consistent care that fits your pet’s needs and routine! I provide care in your pet’s own home to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needed. I treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Animals are my whole life! I work at an animal shelter and have years of experience caring for animals. I have 2 perfect dogs of my own! Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life, so fitting pet care into my routine feels very natural. I’m used to structuring my day around animals’ needs and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely and try to maintain the pet’s normal schedule. I treat every home with care, keep things clean and organized, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I’m reliable, patient, and love making pets feel comfortable and safe. I can also help with routines, exercise, and giving lots of attention and care. I am currently working a 9-5 Monday through Thursday But available Friday- Sunday at anytime. If needed I can come after work if I am available I provide care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, reliable, and will give your pets plenty of attention and care.
“Kathleen is wonderful and extremely thorough. When we forgot to set out bags, she was prepared with some extras. She also has extra harnesses and other accessories just to be ultra prepared. We really love that we found someone reliable and kind to take care of Pino.”
“I'm so grateful for Kristine and her help with my foxhound Cersei. I'm a single dog-parent and Cersei is a lot of work. Kristine is punctual, attentive, includes photos (in which Cersei is always smiling), and goes above and beyond to make sure Cersei is cared for. I can't recommend Kristine more highly!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have dealt with kittens/puppies, adults and seniors. Gave meds, washed, groomed and trained them. Large dogs and pitbulls are my favorites. I also had a house rabbit for 9 years. My pets had long happy lives I have a part time job, so my schedule is flexible. With enough lead time, I can swap my shift and be available whenever I am needed. I can care for pets in their own home. The pets are happier and less stressed when they are at home. Pets should say home whenever possible.
“Brandon was wonderful with Poppy, he is calm and gentle with lots of knowledge about dog behavior. Poppy was so happy on their walk and wanted to leave with him when he left. lol I highly recommend him.”
“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
“Jessie is an exception person that took amazing care of our pup Tully! She has solid communication skills, has an incredible understanding of dogs and easily determined was needed for Tully to quickly trust and bond with her. We look forward to using her again!!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting all my life. I also fostered a mid-size mixed terrier. I have two cats of my own. I love how all animals have amazing personalities! I can do dog walking, cat check ins with waste clean-up or over nights which ever you may need. I know how to administer meds to both cats and dogs. It is so important to have your furry loved ones pampered while you are away! I am retired so my availability is flexible. I also enjoy sending photos of your four legged loved one while you are away! I have also watched chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, snakes and iguanas. Looking forward to hearing from you! (I do not charge for additional dogs or cats!) I am retired so I have a flexible schedule! I can go during the day or stay overnight at your home. Whichever you feel most comfortable with would work! When I come to your house, besides walking/feeding, I do waste cleanup as well. Of course, playing is a must! I will definitely send photos and videos so you know how your furry family member is feeling!

Katharine did an excellent job caring for my husky Casey! I could see the happy smile from the photos she sent during each walk. She was on time and took great care being sure to make Casey feel comfortable and happy! It was visible in each photo she sent! I am very pleased with Katharine and I would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Katonah is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,586 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Katonah. 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 Katonah. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Katonah 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 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 Katonah. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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 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.
