About: I grew up in my grandmother’s home for part of my childhood with her two Shitzu’s. I was exposed to dogs at a young and fell in love ever since. When I was in high school, we got our family dog, a Papillion named Callie - who I sadly don’t see as often anymore. Last year, I brought home my first dog - Cherry who is also a 1 year old Papillon. I also have experience with larger size dogs (up to 45 pounds) because I have fostered here and there whenever I got the chance. Although my weekdays are busy, I am available to watch your fur baby most weekends for sitting or for boarding unless indicated otherwise on my calendar. I live in a studio apartment, but have access to a fenced dog park on the second floor of my apartment building for quick potty breaks. I also can take the dogs on longer or more frequent walks (able to cater toward each dog).
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.
“Jenna was a life saver when I unexpectedly had to work outside of the home for a month. It gave us such peace of mind leaving our dog home for the day knowing that Jenna was coming to walk her midday. Jenna went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of and communicated everything to us very well. Would definitely book again should the need arise!”
About: I raised a Pomeranian who lived until 12 years old and passed away last year. His name was Wolph and he truly taught me how to be a loving parent who shows patience, responsibility, and genuine care. I'd love to get active with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I fostered two dogs in the past year and have dog-sat for friends and family for the last 8 years. I am a part-time student at the moment and doing part-time work remotely. Most of the week I am home besides the occasional groceries and whatnot. I also have a roommate who is also a responsible pet-owner back at home. My apartment space is spacious with a big living room space. The apartment building itself has two levels of security and is very pet-friendly with a bathing station. I have fostered dogs at my current apartment and had no issues.
About: Science background, detail oriented, calm personality. Will love and care your dog as my own. Mainly here to spend time with lovely pets not just for money I work from home, flexible daily from 7am-7pm during weekdays. I have a cat due to small apartment, but I have always been a dog lover. Can walk the dog from 30-60m daily My service currently is limited to dog walk. I can provide 30 to 60 minutes of dog walk once or twice per day during weekdays
“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!”
“Angel has been patient, professional and able to meet my pup where she is. This was one of the first times we’ve had a walked and Angelina’s been really helpful and trustworthy during this transition. Thank you, Angel!”
“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.”
“Angelica is great with our dogs and responsive. She even helps wipe their paws after the walk and makes sure they have water at home. She’s wonderful!”
“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 got Mikan as a puppy 3 years ago and we’ve been 2 peas in a pod ever since. I also have experience pet sitting my friend’s dogs. I currently work on-site at the building I live in, and also have a 3 year old dog that will keep your pet company. My building has a fenced in dog run, and there are many places to walk in my neighborhood. I make sure that pets feel safe and loved when they stay with me.
“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: 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 9 AM to 9 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.
“Ona lies at the front doormat waiting for her weekly walks with Jennifer. Ona is a senior rescue dog and Jennifer is patient with her. Ona returns energized every time she walks Jennifer.”
About: Hi! I've been eager to give Rover a shot and finally decided to sign up! I've taken care of neighbors, friends and roommates dogs and puppies for the past 15 years. My neighbors went on vacation and trusted me with the keys to their house to dog sit when I was 12 years old...what were they thinking :) I grew up without a pet my entire life except one goldfish because traditional Asian parents do not believe in pets...big sigh. Dog sitting has been the outlet for me to feel like I have a pet. You can count on me for being the new best friend for your dog! What else... I'm super friendly, easy to get along with and enjoy being outdoors. In additional to being a huge dog fan, I love animals in general. I had fun building my profile with pictures and stumble upon my encounters with all animals. That's all for now! Let me know if you have any questions.

Victoria has been walking Cheddar for a few weeks now and she has been so great! She is always on time and very communicative, sending lots of pictures with quick recaps and making sure he gets his steps in. I’m very happy having Victoria walk him and would recommend her to any other pet parent.

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.
