About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from my toy poodle to a Sheltie. I’m especially skilled with smaller breeds like Maltese, Yorkies, and Westies, providing loving, personalized care. I’m currently working remotely and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog on weekdays and weekends I focus on creating a safe, comfortable and fun experience for dogs at home. I will make sure your dog is well-fed, hydrated and given plenty of attention during drop-in. I take them for engaging walks tailored to their energy level and provide playtime to make them feel loved.
“Dukkyu has been a great, reliable dog walker for my dog, Holly. He arrives on time, is very responsive, and best of all - my pup loves him! He is great with animals and I highly recommend him.”
About: Hi, I’m Lucie! As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have a deep love for dogs and understand their needs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I look forward to meeting your pup! 🐾❤️ Pet care is already part of my daily routine as a dog owner. I make time every day for walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. At my home, pets enjoy a safe and loving environment alongside my friendly small dog. In their own home, I follow their regular routine to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Sharon is wonderful! It’s been so helpful to have a dog walker that I can trust while I am in the office. She is kind, communicative, and conscientious - a pleasure to work with!”
“Christie has been an incredible dog walker for my dog, Somi. Somi is always excited to see her, which says everything about how great Christie is with dogs. She’s consistently punctual, very responsive, and seems to genuinely love pets. I always feel confident knowing Somi is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs, have had experience with golden poodle, bichon, French bull dog, and so many more breeds! I love dogs with all my heart, I will annoy you with status of your fur babies if you don't mind lol I currently work from home, only need to run errands once in a while. I usually walk dogs three times a day, but if you need more or less just let me know! I have a super happy golden doodle to keep your fur baby accompanied. But if your dog do now like other dogs, my dog gets that too, and I can be the one sitting next to your dog if that's the case!
About: Hi! We're Ashley & Lili (or, LD - the D is for dog). I've had dogs for over 20 years from puppies to super seniors. Lili is a trained therapy dog who volunteers with elders and children regularly. Handling dogs with medical needs is no issue for us. We'd be honored to host your dog for some fun and new friends! I work 100% remotely and have flexibility for walks and playtime during the day as needed/wanted. I live one block off Gantry State Park for a nice long walks along the waterfront and a "woof top" in my building for dogs to run and play! You'll always receive pup-dates of our adventures during the day. I'll treat your dog as I treat my own and support sloppy kisses and snuggles! Dogs are allowed on furniture and wherever makes them happiest in the house - even if it's on my lap for the entire day.
About: Hello! I work from home and love to spend time with animals. I have two medium dogs (Ramona and Molly). They are both playful and full of energy, so I'm used to looking after big pup personalities! Molly is our anxiety queen, and caring for her has taught me so much about the importance of routine and meeting each pet where they're specifically coming from. In addition to Rover, I have had dogs all my life, watched dogs and houses for professors while I was in college, and even spent three weeks watching 13 rescue dogs in France for a Workaway experience. Because I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am always willing to make whatever you need work. Your pet's safety, comfort, and enrichment are my first priorities. I am excited to meet and become friends with your furry family member!
About: Hi, I’m Leah, I’m a PA by day. I grow up with 2 dogs, and dog sit for my friends every 2 months. With experience in everything from fun walks to administering meds (as a Physician Assistant), I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I have 4 days off/week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! Boarding time will be: weekday 8-11am and weekends 8-10am. I’ll update with pics for your pup through out the day. I have a studio, pet friendly. I run everyday, living by myself, no other pet with me right now, my building is a pet friendly, LIC is super nice neighborhood. Gantry Park is amazing for dog walk.
“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”
“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!”
“Jefferson was great!! He was very communicatIve and responded very promptly. He was also open to meeting up beforehand so that my dog could get acquainted with him before the dogwalking appointment which made the whole experience feel very safe.”
About: I grew up with a schnauzer, so dogs have always felt like home to me. I take friends' dogs out for walks for fun and love every minute of it. You can count on me to give your dog an energetic, attentive walk and bring them home happy and tired. I currently work from home, so I'm able to build afternoon walks into my day as a refreshing break for both me and your pup. No rushing and just a relaxed, attentive walk when your dog needs it most. As a walker, my focus is on giving your dog a safe, fun, and attentive outing. I always keep dogs leashed, stay fully present during walks, and follow any instructions you have about your dog's habits or preferences. At 6'4" and 200 lbs, I can comfortably handle larger and more energetic dogs too.
“Jessica is great with our new pup! Very patient with him and worked with us to get a meet and greet on the books quickly, so she could walk him the next day!”
About: Growing up, I took care of two (awesome) dogs for as long as I can remember. Having these mini companions was definitely a part of my childhood that I would never change, and I believe it aided in shaping the person I am today. Today, I have two dogs that my partner and I have raised from puppies! I'm experienced with caring for pets of all ages! I am hard-working, dedicated, and committed to making sure you and your pet have the best possible experience! A bit about me, I am also pretty energetic and love to exercise, so taking your dog for a walk or even a run is not a problem at all. I am currently located in the LIC area! I will always find time to make sure your pet is getting properly cared for while you are away. I currently am between jobs and needing some extra dog love! I can be flexible with what works for everyone involved, as consistency is best for dog and owner. I have two boy dogs at home, so not taking any clients here unless we do a meet and greet first ! They're both very friendly. Otherwise, I'm committed to keeping routine as normal as possible for your pet.

Rebecca is the *only* person I trust with my baby, Espresso! She plays with him, makes sure his medication is taken daily and takes him on wonderful adventures on their walks!

Highly would recommend Rebecca for all your pup sitting/walking needs! 🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Long Island City on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 28,442 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Long Island City. 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 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:
- 88% 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.
