About: I (Tori) am a third year veterinary student at LIU post with a passion for providing high quality, reliable care to all animals! I have extensive experience working in veterinary clinics as well as pet sitting since I was in high school, so I am comfortable providing medical care to your pets. I understand how important it is finding appropriate pet sitter that accommodates all your needs, as I have two cats at home myself and it takes a lot of time finding the perfect person! I am also currently working in a veterinary clinic on top of being a veterinary student, so I’m constantly improving my education and experience with pet health. My boyfriend (Steven) is also a pet sitter and had multiple dogs growing up, and has extensive experience caring for them. He may join me for some pet sitting gigs unless you prefer just me or him, the pricing does not change. Whether it’s us together or one of us caring for your pets, we strive to be responsible, loving, and provide the best care for your pets. We have 2 cats at home- so it is our priority to treat every animal as if it’s our own! Every pet is unique, and I am more than happy to go above and beyond to provide the care your pets deserve! There is no such thing as asking for “too much”, I will provide as many updates as you need throughout the day, respond to your messages right away, and facetime/video chat if you’d like live updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any requests, I want to make your experience top notch using me as your rover sitter! I (Tori) am a full-time veterinary student currently completing my 3rd year and my schedule varies daily. Some days I am in school 8-5, 9-11, 1-3, with weekends having most availability. Steven works full-time 5 days a week from 8-5. Steven and I work together to care for rover pets, but I (Tori) will be the primary caretaker. We have 2 cats in the house so it's very important to us that we provide quality care for ALL animals in our lives, including the ones we petsit for! Please let us know what your expectations are for your schedule so we can coordinate our schedules. IMPORTANT: We both are not able to stay in your home 24/7 due to our own pets and schedules! We are dedicated to providing quality and reliable care and will communicate with you on how we can be the best caregivers. Before we provide any care, we will come to your home and plan an initial meet and greet with you, any family members, and your pet(s) of course so we can make sure everyone is comfortable! We will communicate with you often while caring for your pet(s) and acknowledge any special requests you have for us as well! There's no such thing as asking for too much when pet sitting for your animals- they are your priority and we will be flexible to make sure we are the best caretaker for your pets!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my whole life! Due to my shift schedule as a nurse, I can’t get one of my own just yet! I go on walks a few times a day and would love to have a furry friend by my side during them. Also would love to have your dog stay at my home when needed :) I’m currently a registered nurse working 3 12-hour shifts. This leaves me home in the middle of the week when everyone else is at work! I have grown up surrounded by dogs and would be sure to make your pet feel comfortable and safe! Walking, playing, whatever is needed to make your pet happy!

About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing or providing companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m currently a second year medical student with a mostly remote schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. Since I spend much of my time studying from home, I’m able to offer frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having animals beside me while I study and can easily incorporate their needs into my daily routine. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your animals with someone you can trust. Whether caring for your dogs in my home or yours, I will provide a clean, calm, loving and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines and any special instructions provided by the owner.

About: Our pets change our lives for the better and I want to make sure they’re well taken care of too. By making connections via talking, playing, training, and grooming I pride myself in providing full care for my furry friends. I make training fun and learn their individual strengths! Pet care is an essential part in my daily routine. Each day begins by walking my pup, refreshing her water and food bowls. At the end of the day, I’m cleaning and prepping to start out routine over, putting toys away and doing our last walk of the night. I love taking my pups out downtown or to the dog park. If it’s dog-friendly, why aren’t we bringing the beans?! Everyone is always happy, fed, hydrated, and well played with. Pet hygiene and environmental cleanliness go hand in hand. I like to make sure I’m keeping my home clean for my pets. After all they play, lounge, and sleep in our home. The least we can do is make sure the space is free of dangerous objects or potential choking hazards. We also use pet gates in our home to ensure pet safety when cooking/cleaning/moving furniture.

About: I’ve taken care of my families dog since I was 13 years old. I currently have a maltipoo who’s 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was a puppy. I’ve also taken care of neighbors dogs in the past as well and they relied on me when they were out of town. I am currently working from home on mondays and Fridays so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can walk at any point in my day if I don’t have a prior meeting scheduled. I love going for walks to keep dogs active throughout the day. Treats are a necessity and positive reinforcement is needed to be the dogs new best friend

“Natalie and Dan were absolutely wonderful and truly went above and beyond while caring for my dog, Merlot. While I was away, they noticed she was having some accidents and immediately kept me informed and helped coordinate a switch to boarding so she would be more comfortable. Their communication and care gave me so much peace of mind. They were incredibly thoughtful and kind throughout the entire stay. They even went out of their way to pick up shampoo and give Merlot a bath, which was such a generous and unexpected gesture. Merlot was clearly very well cared for and loved while she was with them. It was such a pleasure having Natalie and Dan care for my dog, and I will absolutely be booking with them again in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, compassionate care.”

As of October 2026, there are 27,416 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Locust Valley. 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 Locust Valley. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Locust Valley 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Locust Valley. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

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.
