“I have a very anxious dog and Jessi took the time to take her to a nice, quiet place for a long walk. Jessi seems to have real patience and understanding for my dogs and I really appreciate that. I hope she will continue to be available.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, so I learned at a young age how to care for dogs, cats, fish, and Guinea pigs. I have my own pet currently! I have a cat and her name is Willow. I take care of my cat every day, I check her food and water bowls twice a day and make time to play with her to give her a workout. I do have a cat, so if I end up taking car of your dog for the day I will most likely avoid bringing them to my home unless you tell me that they get along well with cats. I can take them for walks and to the park or for rides if they enjoy that too!
About: I grew up around animals and learned early how to care for them with patience and love. My mom has been a pet sitter for eight years, and I’ve spent that time helping her with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and in-home care. Being around pets has always felt natural to me, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is super flexible. I like hanging out with pets in their own space, keeping them company, and making sure everything feels normal and stress-free while you’re gone. When I stay in your home, I focus on keeping things normal for your pet. I handle meals, walks, and hangout time, making sure they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and have always been obsessed with them! I will treat your pup like my own and give them all of the love and care they deserve. I raised and trained my 1.5 year old pup and can carry on any training with your pup when they are here. I work a full-time remote job so I will be home all day to tend to your dogs needs. I have a 2 year old dog named Finley that I regularly walk before and after work, care for and make treat puzzles for during the day, and I have a very pet friendly home. I am flexible to carry out your dogs routine to make sure they feel right at home! I have a large fenced yard and my own dog to keep your pup company. I can crate your dog when needed or let them roam the house and make themselves comfortable. I always have all food and any hazards out of reach so the pups can’t get into any trouble!
About: I have pet‑sat for friends and have owned animals since childhood. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’m in veterinary school with hands‑on experience working with both dogs and cats in a clinic setting at school and in a veterinary clinic. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and injectable treatments. I’ve also worked with multiple cat rescues and have experience fostering. I would love the opportunity to do dog walks — staying active and walking dogs is one of my favorite ways to connect with pets. I’m available for early‑morning visits and walks before my classes begin at 8 AM. I also have a lunch break from 12–1 PM and I can do walks or drop‑ins during that time. After 5 PM, I’m fully available for evening care. I’m also free most weekends and have open availability over the summer. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, walking routes, medication instructions, and any household rules your pet is used to. I always double‑check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure pets stay secure, and I take time to help them feel comfortable with me before we head out for a walk or settle in for a visit. With my veterinary background, I’m attentive to behavior, stress signals, and overall well‑being. I keep a close eye on how pets are feeling, and I’m comfortable handling medications, special needs, and shy or nervous animals. My goal is to maintain a safe, clean, and low‑stress environment so your pet feels cared for and you feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have the biggest heart for dogs and if I can show them love while their owner is away I would be so so grateful! I am an active duty soldier who loves taking care of pets since I can’t have one of my own long term due to the lifestyle. I have taken care of pets on and off post and it’s always manageable! I make sure to ask the owner for all things about the pet and always provide updates. I love to get them excited and happy with playing outside or going on a nightly walk before bed.
About: Hi everyone! I'm Regan and I am currently a masters student at KSU studying biomedical science on the pre-veterinary medicine track. I have 8 years experience pet sitting for family and friends of pets of all shapes and sizes! I have 3 summers experience working in Veterinary hospitals and am confident in any type of medication administration or with pets with special needs. I am a full-time student and athlete on the rowing team at KSU. This summer, I am starting my Master's program! I am unavailable Mondays 10:30-12, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:30-4, Wednesdays 7:30-12, and Fridays 7:30-11. I am available on Saturdays and Sundays for most weekends this summer. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, but please message me with any questions or requests, and I will try to make accommodations for different requirements! Currently I am not offering services in my own home due to renting. I am happy to spend time at your house and even stay the nights on weekends if required. I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and any medication schedules. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail if needed, and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pets are doing.
“Nick is absolutely wonderful with our pair of pups! Our "youngest" trusts Nick to deal with nightly noises and our old girl keeps trying to keep up, he is so patient with both of their personalities.”
“My dog loves Katharine, and my daughter's shy dog also loves her. She did a great job walking my dog: she was very reliable and responsive and made my dog happy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have helped friends by pet sitting, feeding, and walking their dogs. I’ve spent time with both energetic and more laid-back pets, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Professional pet care is a new opportunity for me, and I’m bringing patience, gentleness, responsibility, and genuine care to every visit. Whether your pet wants playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible summer schedule and would love to help care for your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and can accommodate multiple daily visits. I believe great pet care starts with consistency and attention to detail. I follow instructions closely, keep pets safe, make sure they get plenty of care and attention, and communicate clearly with owners so they know their pets are in good hands.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I currently own 2 dogs, a pit bull and husky. I also have 1 cat. Over the years I have fostered for the shelter and anytime I find a lost animal, I do everything I can to get them home. I really enjoy being around animals and I love to help people anyway I can so it makes it fun. I am not currently working so free most of the time. I have a medium fenced yard and my husband and daughter love all animals. Although we have a newborn, we keep up work with child/pet safety.
“Maureen has been fantastic with our dog Snoop! She’s gone above and beyond to make sure he is clean, comfortable and a happy guy during and after her visit. I know Snoop appreciates her coming and I do too!”
“Faith was amazing! She agreed to walk my dog last minute while I was going to be out of town for the whole day. She also was very communicative and followed my instructions perfectly. I would totally have her again! :)”
About: I grew up with pets, and have cared for my friends and neighbors pets over the years! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I have also cared for other pets like hedgehogs, chickens and snakes! I recently moved to the area and I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my full time job. I have lots of availability! I am available for drop ins and mid day potty/play breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own! I always send pictures to update you throughout my time with your pets. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection and cuddles while you are away! Comfortable and familiar with dietary needs, medical needs such as medication administration, or special training you prefer to use.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Manhattan on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Manhattan. 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 Manhattan.

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 Manhattan. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
