Jessi was amazing! She was very accommodating, especially since I needed help while I was out of town and it was a last minute booking. The pups loved her and they seemed a lot more relaxed after spending some time with her. I will definitely book her again! Thank you Jessi!!

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.

Sarah has been walking my dog, Walter, for several weeks now and has been absolutely wonderful. Walter can be nervous around new people, but Sarah took the time to meet him beforehand and made sure both he and I felt comfortable. She has been incredibly flexible with my unpredictable schedule and always provides thoughtful updates. Those gave me so much peace of mind—especially at the beginning when I was worried about Walter’s skittishness. I’m so grateful for the care and patience she shows, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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: As a pet parent myself, I know how scary it can be when searching for someone to care for your babies! I believe in creating a calm and caring environment when I am present with others pets and care for them as if they are my own! I have been raised around cats & dogs of all different personalities my whole life! I work part time 8am-12pm on Monday-Friday and I am able to care before work and anytime after! Weekends I am usually free all weekend! I like to meet clients and their pets prior to my booked service so I can create a calm environment with my arrival. When I am providing my services I adjust my approach depending on how things went at the introduction, some animals need higher energy while others need a calm entrance.

About: I am an aspiring veterinarian, and I started in the field when I was 16. I love any chance I can get to take care of animals! I graduated with my B.S. in Animal Biology in May 2025. Now I am working on my Masters in Veterinary Biomedical Science! I am passionate about animal care, and I aspire to go to vet school. I don’t have the capability to have other pets over to my house, but I will care for yours to whatever specification you may have!

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’ve spent the last 5+ years working in a small animal ICU at a veterinary hospital, so caring for pets isn’t just something I enjoy, it’s what I do every day. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, shy pets, and those with medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications, extra patience, or just a lot of love, I’ve got it covered. Outside of work, I’m the kind of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass (no exceptions). I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, reliable hands. I treat every pet like they’re my own, because they deserve nothing less. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🐱 I have a consistent overnight schedule (6pm–6am) Sunday through Tuesday, so I’m available during the day on those days and have open availability Wednesday through Friday. I also work one Saturday a month, with occasional weekend availability otherwise. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I make sure every pet gets reliable, attentive care and plenty of love! For walks and drop-ins, I keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free by following your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I match each pet’s energy, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or some quality cuddle time (plus a few compliments, of course). With my veterinary ICU background, I also keep a close eye on their health and behavior.

About: Since I was 20 years old, family neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, water, and pet sit their dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs that are older and require meds as well as younger dogs. I don’t have a dog of my own yet but hopefully Rover will get me one step closer and be the final push I need! I am currently a full time student with a part time job but have Wednesday’s and Friday’s off and usually work mornings anyway. I will try my hardest to make most times for walks or drop in visits work but if I can’t I will let you know ASAP! I can feed and water your dogs, keep up with a possibly complicated night time routine, and take them out whenever they need to when I’m with them. I’m also able to take them to specific places if needed to go on walks, whether that be a fenced in park, a dog specific park, or just around your neighborhood!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds for as long as I can remember I currently have two dogs and two cats both of which are very friendly to other dogs and cats :-) I work remote and will have plenty of time to play with your pet cuddle and love them so they feel like they belong with walks and out door strolls.

About: Hi! I love animals and can’t wait to take care of your pet. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, etc! I'm a veterinary assistant at an emergency veterinary hospital, as well as having previously worked at a dog daycare for multiple years. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs and cats over the years, providing reliable, loving attention when they needed it most. In addition, I have been volunteering at Wayside Waifs for 2 years, where I help with animal socialization, enrichment, and daily care. I’ve also been horseback riding for 8 years, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, communication, and patience, especially with larger or more sensitive animals. As someone who with 5 pets, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m confident and comfortable with pets who may be shy, reactive, or require extra attention. Whether your pet needs calm companionship or active play, I’m here to provide professional, compassionate care tailored to their unique needs! If I am caring for your pet, I’m willing to accommodate around my work schedule. Even if that means waking up at 6am to take care of your pet before I head to work or classes, I’ll do it all! I’m a full time student, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pet the attention it deserves. I am very particular in making sure every need is met for your pet! All messes will be cleaned up as soon as possible, and I will go above and beyond to give your pet the enrichment they need.

Treated Stitch like her own baby. I felt completely at ease with Stitch in Cheryl's care. Cheryl is more than capable of handling the sometimes rambunctious, sometimes lazy, personality of my AmStaff. She is a confident carer and I couldn't have found better.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Manhattan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Manhattan on Rover is $16.65 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Manhattan. 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 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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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:

  • 91% 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.
