“Joe is a true professional and animal lover. He took excellent care of my Spinone Italiano and went above and beyond what was expected. My dog immediately felt secure and calm with Joe. I would highly recommend him for anyone in search of superlative dog care.”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life: around four dogs and more than five cats over the years, from feeding and walks to overnight stays and everything in between. Right now I live with and care for four cats full-time (litter, feeding, treats, training), including Bitsy, who came to us as a feral, abandoned kitten. She'd survived months alone in the woods before she was rescued, and she wouldn't come near anyone. I spent hours lying on the floor of the room she was in until she finally came to say hello. From there, I trained her to come when called, sit on command, and wait patiently for food. It wasn't instant and it wasn't guaranteed. It took months of just showing up, consistently, before she trusted anyone. That's the same approach I bring to every animal I care for, whether they warm up in five minutes or need real time to feel safe. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I'm comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I always ask for a meet-and-greet before the first booking, so we can make sure it's a good fit before you leave your pet in my care. I am home most of the day and open most of the week, so I can offer flexible availability that works with your schedule. Weekends work too, but I prioritize weekday requests first if I have to choose. Unfortunately, I don’t have the space to board or have client pets in my home. All of my care takes place on your pet’s own turf where they are comfortable. During a visit or walk, I’ll send you updates and photos every hour to a few hours, depending on the length of the job. That way you are always aware of how things are going. I believe in preparation first. I make sure to understand your pet’s routine, habits, and any risks before I’m alone with them so that I can prevent problems. If something does go wrong then the priority is getting the animal safe first. I will update you the moment that’s done or as soon as I can do it without compromising your animals safety or the safety and privacy of your home.
“Rosalie has been so lovely to work with. Our recently adopted dog struggles with separation anxiety and Rosalie has been willing to work with us to slowly build her confidence so that we can eventually leave her overnight. We are very grateful for her help, patience, and support!”
About: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life. I’ve dog-sat for family and friends. I trained my current dog as a puppy, and have given many dirty pups baths! I have pretty open availability throughout the week. I live in a nice neighborhood where I can easily walk dogs, and also live not too far from the dog park! I take care of my dog, feeding, walking, bathing etc. I have a small fenced in area in my backyard perfect for small to medium sized dogs and I do have a small crate if necessary.
“Ella is wonderful! She is outgoing, friendly, and an excellent communicator. More important, she clearly adores dogs. She quickly bonded with our shy & anxious girl, Mina, at their first meeting. As well, Ella was unflustered when I realized I'd scheduled the wrong day for one of Mina's walks. Thankfully, she was able to accommodate my (very) last-minute revision! We will definitely request Ella again!!”
“Jessica is terrific and has been a treasured dog walker for us for several years. She is incredibly loving and caring with my dog and extremely accommodating to support with any other needs that come up. I recommend her highly without reservation.”
“This was Cassandra’s first time meeting Ellie and Mia, and she was fantastic! Although Ellie and Mia can be shy around new people, they warmed up to Cassandra right away and had a wonderful walk with her. I’d feel confident having her walk or dog-sit for them anytime.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and hold animals dear to my heart! I LOVE spending time with them and making them happy. I have cared for dogs and cats for years and am very patient with them. I have a fenced in yard. I would prefer to avoid bringing clients pets into my home because I have 2 cats. But if the dog is friendly enough and has experience with cats I would consider it. My house is fairly big. It has a basement and attic, with 2 floors they’d have room to run and play. I have a medium sized yard so there would be room for them to run and play. I also have a safe street to bring them on walks. I pet sit full time. I’m looking to gain more clients so please book me. I spend my time practicing yoga, studying holistic health, caring for my own cats, reading or creating… so I am able to shift my schedule around easily to fit your needs! My home is cozy and safe with lots of room to run around and comfy furniture to sleep on! I keep the windows open and do not use toxic products in my house.
About: I have cared for pets for several years. I’m a dog lover at heart but also have experience with cats, Guinea pigs, fish, and turtles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a turtle, and fish. My goal is to offer a comforting environment to your pet while you are away. I currently work from home so I have the flexibility needed to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I’m available some weekends as well. Hi, I’m Rosalia! Animals have been a central part of my life for over three decades. Over the past 30+ years, I have raised, trained, and loved dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I train my own dogs using positive reinforcement, which means I understand canine body language, boundaries, and how to encourage good behavior.Whether your furry family member is an energetic puppy who needs consistent routine and patience, or a sweet senior who requires gentle care, medication, and a slow pace, I know exactly what it takes to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.
About: I grew up with pets my whole life. I believe pets aren’t just pets, but family. They deserve great care, attention, love and most importantly great companionship. I have several years experience home/pet sitting which involves bathing, grooming and cleaning. Previously was a pet bather at PetSmart. I am gentle, kind, fun and loving! Here to help with all your pet needs! Trust your fur-babies with someone you can count on! Available to book stays, drop ins and walks! I do work a full-time job but will do my best to accommodate your needs. I am knowledgable with leashes, harnesses, and collars. I am very neat and pay close attention to routines and individual needs. I am very communicative with pet parents while I care for the fur-babies! I am always willing to provide client with photos or videos whenever they want to check on their pets.
“Arsen was a standout house sitter! He was incredibly attentive and took the time to get to know our pets and our home’s needs. Our cat and dog were in great hands, and we never had to worry while we were away—which is everything you could ask for in a house sitter. Thank you, Arsen!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pups Kona and Desi. I have always lived with dogs. I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.
About: Hi! I'm James, I have worked at an animal hospital for over a year and have experience walking, feeding, handling, and taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm also trained to handle various exotic pets. I also have over 2 years of experience as a dog walker. I would love to be able to fit pet care into my weekly routine after class, on weekends, and pretty much whenever I have the time. I have the most experience caring for exotic and small pets, and know how to engage with them, handle them, feed and care for them. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats and am able to notice unusual behavior and can alert the owner or potentially a veterinarian about it if need be. When I pet-sit I usually walk, feed, and spend time engaging and playing with the animal to make sure they don't miss out on exercise or socialization.
About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lincoln Park is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Park
Amanda is so wonderful with Teddy and Lucy!! She was amazing about communicating with me every step of the way. It is so clear that she has significant experience working with dogs and can really respond to what they need individually. I have a hard time finding someone I trust with Teddy and Lucy because they can be a handful but I feel like I can really trust they are in great hands with Amanda. I would absolutely recommend her!
Bridget is great! She is always on time, follows my instructions carefully and is very communicative. And most importantly she is fantastic with my dog. My dog has weird little quirks and can be very excitable and Bridget is great about it all. No notes, I’m glad to have found her.
Jacqueline, is absolutely fabulous. I need my dog walked daily. She is always timely and has never missed a day in over a month that I have been using her. She is kind and communicates. She is honest, and that’s a big one, as she has access to my home. Look no further she is outstanding.
Linnea is absolutely amazing!! She was so loving and patient with my 9 year old chihuahua who gets a bit grumpy when going out for walks in subzero temperatures (it just so happened that the week we planned our trip for was when “historic storm fern” descended upon the city lol). Needless to say we were so relieved to have booked with Linnea— having her support and regular updates gave us the peace of mind that actually allowed us to enjoy our trip, and knowing our pup was well taken care of was invaluable. Highly recommend Linnea for anyone who wants reliable, kind and empathetic care their pet!

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 Lincoln Park. 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.

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.
