About: With 5 years of hands-on experience, I’ve raised a Corgi from 5 months to 2 years old, and currently in my household lives a 2-year-old British Shorthair who I’ve raised from 5 months and a playful 4-year-old Poodle. I understand each pet’s unique needs and treat them like family—providing attentive, loving care that keeps tails wagging and whiskers twitching! I’m currently WFH, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for dropping in visits,walks on weekdays, and both long-term & short-term boarding and daycare, just schedule with me in advance! I can accommodate various types of inquiries! Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your care instructions closely, always double-check leashes, doors, and feeding. I create a calm, friendly environment, keeping their routine consistent. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit, I treat your home and pet with respect, love, and attention.
“Karina made Miki’s first walk in her new neighborhood easygoing and stress-free. Karina provided a comforting presence to not only Miki but us as well, and we will definitely continue to book with her in the future.”

“Stacey and Andrew are wonderful dog walkers! They were friendly and considerate about our dogs’ needs, and were proactive about communication. Would definitely ask them to walk our corgis again!”

About: I've taken care of cats for about 7 years and have two cats of my own, so I know how much a consistent routine matters to a pet. I've also done extended dog-sitting for dogs needing multiple daily walks or oral meds on schedule, and have had return clients for 5+ years. I treat every pet like my own, and I'll keep your pet's routine running smoothly the whole time you're away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which lets me easily adapt to whatever routine your pet needs. Whether it's a loose schedule or specific timing for feeding and meds, I've cared for pets with all types of schedules. I'm mindful of securing doors, handling deliveries (if needed), and never letting pets slip out. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own, leaving everything exactly as I found it.
“Danielle was responsive and communicated well about her walk with juno! She took juno on a nice walk and made sure she used the bathroom before finishing up. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Growing up with a beloved dog taught me early on how wonderful it is to share our lives with pets. Over the past two years, I have gained hands-on experience through pet-sitting for friends, regularly volunteering at animal shelters, and fostering three kittens who are now five months old. Caring for my foster kittens has given me valuable experience with young cats, including their daily routines, individual personalities, energy levels, and unique needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable and safe. I am naturally patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I take pride in providing a calm, loving, and reliable environment for every pet in my care. I’m currently working full time on dog & cat sitter, my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available from 11AM to 6 PM during the weekdays and weekends. While cat/dog sitting, I treat each pet parent’s home with the same care and respect as if it were my own. I always ensure doors and windows are secure, follow all household instructions carefully, and keep the environment safe and free of hazards for the cats. I’m mindful of potential escape risks and make sure cats/dogs remain safely indoors. Before leaving, I double-check that doors are locked and that the cats/dogs have everything they need, including clean water, food and clean litter boxes.
“Angelica is absolutely wonderful! It’s the first time Kobe has had a consistent dog walker and we couldn’t be happpier. Angelica took the time to make him comfortable and they quickly became besties. Angelica is kind, responsive, and sends the most adorable pictures. 10/10”

“She is very nice and sent photo updates while out with Zeke. She’s definitely detail-oriented—she even wiped Zeke’s butt twice after he had some soft stool outside so he came back in clean. Thankful for the thoughtful care.”


“Christie watched our cat and dog for 4 days while we were traveling. She is super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our pets felt cared for while we were gone!”

About: 👋 Hi! I’m Mireille, a longtime animal lover and experienced pet sitter based in Long Island City. I’ve had cats since I was a baby and dogs since middle school. I started pet sitting on Rover after I moved out on my own with no furry friends of my own (my mom kept them 🤧) but now I’ve got two cats of my own. I started pet sitting (not on Rover) several years ago and have experience with cats and dogs of different ages, personalities, and routines. After taking some time away from Rover, I’m getting back into it just because I love spending time with animals and helping other pet parents when they need someone they can trust. I’ll follow whatever routine your pet is used to—feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, medications/instructions, or just keeping them company. It’s so stressful to leave your pets with someone else, so I always want to make sure you feel comfortable and keep you updated with plenty of pictures and details. Whether your pet is super social and wants lots of attention or would rather have someone quietly keep them company, I’m happy to follow their lead. I love animals of all kinds and would love to meet yours! I primarily work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I tend to take bookings that fit easily into my schedule and life. 🐾
“Andrea was great:) my dog just walked right out the door with her and didn’t look back LOL , I was worried about letting my baby out with anyone cause she hates anything with wheels but she handled everything great . I’ll be using her again.”
“We love Courtney!!! The absolute best dog walker - our dog loves her, she’s so communicative and reliable, and we get so many dog pictures from her walks. Would recommend to Courtney to everyone!”

“Brittany was great! Had a whole mixup at our front desk where they wouldn’t let her in and I missed her texts and calls, but she was willing to head back after she already left once I straightened things out with our building. She took Jimmy for a nice long walk, and sent lots of photos and videos. Appreciated her spending the extra time even with the whole mixup :)”
About: Ciello, my first dog, was six months old when my parents brought him home. As a part of the deal with my parents, my brother and I had to take him for a walk after school around the neighborhood. Before long, word got around and soon enough, we found ourselves leading a parade of 5 joyful canines for FREE. That was my first experience offering a dog walking service - an unheard concept in Indonesia at the time. Fast forward to my college years in the US, where I discovered that dog walking was not only a passion, but also a source of supplemental income. Over the past few years, my friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets solidifying my reputation as a reliable and loving care giver. I'm a freelance designer and working part time. I have a chunk of time during the day and some nights to play with your pups! My home is cozy and full of toys and since I'm working from home, your pet and I can spend quality time and we'll have fun together!
“Ryker needed a walk last minute and she came through right away. She was super responsive and flexible, which I really appreciated. Ryker clearly had the best time — he came back happy, relaxed, and like he enjoyed every minute of his walk. It’s always reassuring leaving your dog with someone who treats them so well. Would definitely book with her again! 🐾”

“Yidi was great with Sammy! My dog can be standoffish at first, but Yidi was patient with her and by the second walk she was already more comfortable and walking more/further from home. Yidi is also very responsive and easy to communicate with, we would gladly use his services again!”

About: For 26 years, my life has always been filled with dogs. From caring for my first puppy to raising and giving life assisted support of my adult dogs; I have a deep, hands-on experience through every stage of a dog's life. As a naturally active individual, I believe in more than just walks; I provide tailored adventures and energetic outings, ensuring every dog in my care enjoys a stimulating, fun, and fulfilling lifestyle that matches their unique personality and vitality. I welcome every furry friend, and can't wait to meet yours! My WFH lifestyle provides the ultimate flexibility, allowing me to build a schedule entirely around the needs of the pets in my care. This means consistent potty breaks, timely meals, plenty of midday attention, and seamless integration of walks and playtime. To me, pets are cherished family members, and my goal is always to help them live their most joyful life. I adhere strictly to your care instructions while providing abundant love and attention. If they stay with me they'll enjoy ample space to thrive in my 2,500 sq ft, pet-friendly home.

James is great and extensive about communication, from the start he makes sure you're very comfortable with every step of the boarding process. I want to board my dog for halloween while I'm out of town with my husband and he initiated a walk with my dog so they could meet each other. He even brought a treat over for him and took pictures on their walk. I'm very much at ease now knowing my dog will be with a good caretaker while I'm away, I highly recommend booking with James. :)

Cec was wonderful and has great communication. He just got on Rover but he has been caring and watching dogs for a few years now. I fully trust him and i could tell he really loves dogs. My dog is obsessed with him and her tails goes crazy when she sees him. Thanks Cec!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Long Island City on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Long Island City. 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. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Long Island City.

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 Long Island City. 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.
